IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be located a minimum of 16" from
any radio antennas!
Note: When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path that
will keep the wires away from excessive heat or any vehicle
equipment that could compromise the integrity of the wires (ex.
trunk lids, door jams, etc.)
Installation:
1. Using a screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the three screws securing
the passenger-side visor swivel bracket to the vehicle.
2. Remove the screws securing the visor clip to the vehicle. Remove and
retain the clip and all hardware (See reference to retainer below).
3. Secure the bracket to the Inner Edge housing using the two supplied
#8-32 X 3/8 Torx Head Screws.
4. Position the keyed opening of the mounting bracket directly under the
mounting location for the visor clip and remount the visor clip in its
original location using the original hardware (Fig. 1).
5. Firmly tighten any hardware loosened in this procedure.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the driver-side assembly.
7. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the
vehicle windshield and roof. This is to prevent light output from entering
the passenger compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten
mounting hardware firmly to maintain contact (Fig. 1).
8. Route the lightbar cable down the vehicle A-pillar to your control head.
9. Make all wiring connections using the information in the wiring diagram.
Connecting the Power Cable:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that
load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
1. Follow the factory wiring harness through the firewall. It may be
necessary to drill a hole in the firewall. If so, be absolutely sure that
there are no components that could be damaged by drilling. After the
hole has been drilled, insert a grommet to protect the cable.
2. Route the cable along the factory wiring harness towards the battery.
Install a 40 amp fuse block (customer supplied) on the end of the RED
wire in the power cable. NOTE: Remove the fuse from the fuse block
before connecting any wires to the battery.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to Chassis Ground.
Connecting the Communication Cable:
Splice the GREEN and GREY wires from the lightbar to the GREEN and
GREY wires from the Whelen WC Controller.
Control Point Module
The Control Point Module serves as the brain of the Whelen WC Series
lightbar. The module is programmed with the WeCan™ Programming
Software via the USB port and in turn, provides the necessary signals that
allow the lightbar to function as desired.
In the WeCan™ Programming software, each of the 18 inputs may be
programmed to activate any number or combination of the installed
lightbar components by applying +12VDC to an input. Refer to the
installation guide included with your switches for wiring information.
Programming Procedure -
IMPORTANT - It is not necessary to program this device unless
changes to the default configuration (for example pattern or switch
control changes) are desired.
1. Connect a USB cable from the host PC to the module’s USB port.
2. Start the WeCan™ software on the host PC and open the configuration
to be programmed.
3. Click on the WeCan button on the menu bar. Select Control Point then
Program from the fly-out.
4. A window will open to confirm that you are about to program a Control
Point Module. Confirm that the USB cable is connected to both the
module and the PC and then press “OK” to continue. The software will
display a window when the programming procedure has been
successfully completed.
5. Confirm proper operation of the module. Your lightbar should now be
fully operational.
