“The Most Technically Advanced Compact Control Unit”
The SB-008 PHANTOM signifies major advancements in the emergency vehicle light control technology. It
boasts intuitive face programmability with DIP switch locking to manage everything from the lightbar to
gunracks to auxiliary lights. And at less that 1 1/2” high, this sleek, compact control unit is nearly half the
size of a regular switch box, but the unit‘s slim styling only makes it’s superior control capabilities and versatility more impressive. With the PHANTOM, the decision to go with a light control system that is high-tech
and programmable no longer relegates the buyer to an expensive all in one premium light control siren.

technologically advanced features:
- Face Programmability: Intuitively select each switch’s function by pushing the button to scroll
through different control options. Programmable settings for each switch include the default on/off,
grouped with the Master Switch, momentary, and 10 or 20 second timed momentary for use as a gunlock
timer.
- Master Switch for Grouped Outputs: This new feature simulates a progressive lever switch in
the 3rd position. Activating the Master Switch also activates any of the switches programmed in the
group. Each switch in the group may be individually controlled at any time overriding the Master Switch.
Turning off the Master Switch will also de-activate any of the grouped switches that remain on.
- Multiple Gunlock Timers: More than one switch may be programmed as a timed momentary for
use as a gunlock timer starting on switch 8 and moving backwards.
- Output Diagnostics Indicator: Sensors at the output connectors monitor when the output is
operating correctly and pinpoints where the problem is should a malfunction occur.
- Splash Resistant Rubberized Face: The switch box incorporates built in, sealed switches and
legend windows for improved protection for the internal circuitry from common accidental spills.
