WARNING

This Flasher is NOT waterproof!! This unit must
be installed in a location protected from the
environment.

The device is designed to flash Code 3, Inc. 12 volt
LED-EX Lights up to 3 amps load per output. DO NOT
connect more than a 3 amp load(two single LED-EX
equivalent) to the output. Doing so will shut the unit
down to prevent damage to the Flasher.

WARNING

This device is intended for use with LED Lights ONLY!! Use of this product on an Incandescent, Halogen or
any light source other than LED's may damage the unit and void the warranty.

The use of this or any warning device does not insure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an
emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you
can proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of
speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and
follow the manufacturer's instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should
insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the
projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components(i.e., open trunks or compartment
doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel
only. It is the user's responsibility to understand and obey all laws reguarding emergency warning devices.
The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations.
Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Proper
installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency
vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and
physiological stress caused by the emergenct situation. The warning device should be installed in such a
manner as to A) Not reduce the output performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient
reach of the operator so that he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use
caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high
current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY
WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

Available Versions:

This product is available in two different versions:

1. Lightbar Flasher version p/n T08111:

This version can be requested using model no. (XXXXXX). This version has AMP Mate & Lock and DUAC/PL
connectors attached to the end of 5" and 3" wire harnesses respectively. This version is designed to fit
comfortably inside the Code3® LEDX 2100 lightbar, as well as Excalibur, CODE 360 and Javelin lightbars.

Output Designation:

J4,J5 : PS Front J 6 : PS Rear Corner
J2,J3 : DS Front J 1 : DS Rear Corner
J7,J12 : PS Rear J8 : PS Front Corner
J9,J10 : DS Rear J11 : DS Front Corner

Lightbar Configurations:

When using this product as a lightbar Flasher, the Flasher outputs should be connected as follows (refer
to Fig.2):

Front

Lightbar Installation:

(Refer to Figure 3 and 4)

1.) Plug the Control Harness into the Flasher.

2.) Connect the +12V and ground wires to quickslide terminals E1 & E2 respectively. Use 14Ga. wire
for the main +12V and ground connections.

Note: GND, terminal E2 can be grounded to the lightbar frame. Ensure that the power wire is
fused with a 15 Amp AUTO style fuse.

3.) Connect the white(Mode1), red/blk(Mode2), and red(Mode3) wires to three 18Ga. wires on the
lightbar cable harness. Ensure that wire colors are marked on the lightbar wire-tag sheet.

4.) Connect the yellow(Flash Pattern PGM) wire to an 18 Ga. wire on the lightbar cable harness.
Ensure that the chosen wire color is marked on the lightbar wire-tag sheet. The PGM wire can
then be connected to a momentary +12V switch and used to program the desired flash pattern for
any of the lightbar's three operating modes.

5.) Connect the green(Front Cutoff) and blue(Rear Cutoff) wires to two 18Ga. wires on the lightbar
cable harness. Ensure that the chosen wire colors are marked on the lightbar wire-tag sheet.

2. Remote LED Flasher version p/n T08097:

This version has the same connector interface as the Low Profile version, except that this version utilizes
direct circuit board headers rather than wire harnesses. This Flasher can be used as a remote LED flasher to
drive Code 3 LED-EX and LED Perimeter lights. It can also be used as a motorcycle LED flasher.

INSTALLATION & WIRING

1. First, install the Flasher in a protected location using the flasher itself as a template. Make sure all connectors
are easily accessible. (Refer to Figure 5 and 6 for the following steps).

2. Plug in the Control Harness provided with the Flasher p/n T08115.

3. Connect the +12V and ground wires to quickslide terminals E1 & E2 respctively. Ensure that the +12V power
wire is fused with a 15 Amp Auto style fuse. Note: Use 14 Ga. wire for the main +12V and ground

connections.

4. Optional: Connect the yellow wire (flash pattern) program wire to +12V through a momentary switch. This
switch can be used to program a different flash pattern for regular and Interclear® operation. This wire can also
be taped away or permanently grounded after the flasher has been programmed with the desired patterns.

5. Optional: Connect the white (Interclear® Enable) wire to the active high interclear output on the siren if
applicable.

6. Connect the green (Group B & C Enable) wire and the blue (Group A Enable) wire to +12V through two use
supplied SPST switches. These switches could be used to activate groups A, B and C respectively.

7. Connect the brown (Photocell Input) and the black (Photocell Ground) wires to the red and black wires of the
photocell cable p/n T08086 if photocell activated Group C output dropout operation is desired. Otherwise, tie
these two wires together to disable this option.
