FRONT OF LIGHTBAR

Important: The lightbar should be a minimum of 16”
from any radio antennas!

Caution:

Permanent mounting of this product will require drilling.

It is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle
components could be damaged by this process. Check both sides of
the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a
different mounting location.

Permanent Mounting:

Once you determine the mounting location for your lightbar, remove either the
two outer or inner rubber mounting pads from the mounting foot. Carefully
remove the mounting pad’s guide dart so that the hole through the center of the
pad is exposed.

Place the lightbar into its exact mounting location and mark the mounting hole
locations onto the mounting surface. Use the holes in the mounting feet as a
template.

Remove the lightbar and drill the mounting holes with a 1/4” drill. Also drill a 1/
2” wire exit hole (see above). It is recommended you install a rubber grommet
(customer supplied) into the wire exit hole

Position the mounting pad between the mounting foot and the mounting
surface on each end of the lightbar.

Insert the mounting bolt through the mounting foot, hardware and mounting
surface as shown above.

Repeat for remaining bolts and tighten all hardware.

Strap Mounting:

Strap mounting uses a mounting strap which is purchased seperately and is avail-
able for most vehicles. This strap attaches to the mounting foot as shown in fig. 1 and
is secured to the vehicle with 2 sheet metal screws.

Wiring and Operation:

The lightbar is controlled through the control cable which should be connected to a
customer supplied switch box. Wire functions and fusing are shown in the wiring
diagram.

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!

Low Power:

Applying +12 volts DC to the Violet wire for more than 1 second holds the lightbar in
low power mode until that voltage is removed. A toggle switch is best suited for this.

Scan-Lock™:

To operate Scan-Lock™, switch the lightbar on and activate the control wire of the
function that requires flash pattern selection.
TO CHANGE PATTERNS: To cycle forward apply +12 VDC to the WHT/VIO wire for
less than 1 second and release. To cycle back to the previous pattern apply +12 VDC
to WHT/VIO wire for over 1 second.

TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PATTERN: When the desired pattern is displayed,
allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern
when initially activated.

TO RESTORE THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: With power off, apply +12
VDC to the WHT/VIO wire. While continuing to apply power to Scan-Lock™ turn
lighthead(s) on. The factory default pattern will be displayed.

A normally open momentary switch is best suited for this.

1/2" Minimum Clearance at Closest Point

NOTE:

Unless otherwise specified, the lightbar mounting feet must be

sitting as close to the edge of the roof as possible. Mounting feet must
also be in full contact with the roof and not be hanging off the edge.

Be sure you have the right sized lightbar for your vehicle. The lightbar
should be approximately the same width as the vehicle roof. If the
lightbar is too large or small it will not mount properly to the vehicle
and may shift or come loose during driving.
