NOTE: The lightbar is shipped from the factory with all SW2 Dip Switches
in the "ON" position unless ordered differently by the customer.
TO CHOOSE A PATTERN: Allowing the desired pattern to run for more than 5
seconds will lock it in as the default pattern.
TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: Turn off all lightbar functions.
Apply +12 volts to the Scan-lock™ wire and turn the appropriate function back on
and it will now be restored to its factory default pattern.
A momentary switch is preferred. Refer to the chart for available flash patterns.
All Bar activates all lightheads except Alleys and Take-downs, which can be
activated using the control wires. All Bar has 3 settings, each consisting of 12 to 16
flash patterns which run consecutively (See list). The phasing in All Bar will change
depending on how many outlets are activated. With All Bar, you won’t have to set
individual lightheads since the lightheads are activated and programmed in groups.
2 X 2 X 2 In this mode you can program Front or Rear; Corners, Inboards,
Outboards, Centers, Alleys or Traffic Advisor™ separately.
Warning/TA In WARNING/TA mode (with color 2 outlets active) the lightbar runs in
TA mode for 4 cycles, warning mode for 2 cycles and then repeats.
Async-Sync: While In 2X2X2 mode, Corners and Directionals can be programmed
to flash randomly (Asynchronous) or alternately (Synchronous) by setting dip switch
SW2-2. Using the Corners as an example, set to Synchronous, they left corner will
alternate with the right corner. In ASynchronous the corners will flash randomly.
California Steady RED: With the RED wire activated, use Scan-lock™ to choose
between the Front Driver Side Outboards, Front Driver Side Inboards, Front Driver
Side Centers, Front Driver/Passenger Outboards, Front Driver/Passenger Inboards
or Front Driver/Passenger Centers. Whichever you select (using Scanlock™) will run
in California Steady RED
Operation:
Cruise Lights & AUX (WHITE/ORANGE):
Cruise lights have 3 modes. MODE 1 (Default) - Cruise Lights are activated in Low
Power mode. MODE 2 - Cruise Lights are activated in a Lower power mode. MODE
3 - Off. Activate the WHITE/ORANGE wire and select a mode using Scan-Lock™.
Only the COLOR 1 corner LEDs are on in cruise mode.
Hi/Low Power (VIOLET):
The type of switch used depends on how you wish the Hi/Low feature to function:
Latching Mode: Apply +12 VDC to the VIOLET wire for less than 1 second and the
lightbar is “latched” into low power. Turn the unit off and then back on to restore
normal, high power operation. (momentary switch)
Level Mode: Applying +12 VDC to the VIOLET wire for over 1 second holds the
lightbar in low power mode until voltage is removed. (toggle switch)
Photocell Hi/Low:
Photocell Hi/Low will automatically change to a lower intensity as it gets darker out.
Scan-Lock™ (WHITE/VIOLET):
TO CYCLE FORWARD THROUGH AVAILABLE PATTERNS: Activate ONLY the
control wire of the function you wish to effect, then apply +12 volts to the WHT/VIO
wire for less than 1 second and release. Repeat until the desired pattern is displayed.
