Installation and Mounting
Unpacking and Pre-installation Inspection
Carefully remove the light bar and place it on a at surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage the cable coming out of the bottom. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken light heads, etc. Report any damage to the carrier and
keep the shipping carton.
Standard light bars are built to operate on 12volt and 24volt D.C. negative ground (earth) vehicles. If you have an electrical
system other than 12volt or 24volt D.C. negative ground (earth), and have not ordered a specially wired light bar, contact the
factory for instructions.
Test the unit before installation. To test, connect the Junction Box to the lightbar per the Network Junction Box Instruc-
tions section of this manual and touch the black wire to the ground (earth) and the red wire to +12volt or +24volt D.C. (an
automotive battery is preferable for this test). Then touch each of the control wires to power and check for proper operation.
If problems occur at this point, please contact the factory.
Mounting the Lightbar
All mounting hardware is packed in a small box or bag inside the main carton. Four standard kits are available: (1) Hook-On
Type, (1) Tow and Recovery and (2) Permanent Types. NOTE: Hook-on mounting for "gutterless" type vehicles will require a
special hook for mounting. Several special application hooks are available. Contact the factory for details. Refer to the instructions included with the mounting kit for installation.
CAUTION!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure the area is free from any electrical wires, fuel
lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that could be damaged.
Quick Lightbar Removal
The Pursuit lightbar has been designed with a unique cable access hole enabling the lightbar to be removed without uninstalling the lightbar cable.
1. Remove power to the lightbar/junction box. Failure to do this may damage the lightbar.
2. Remove upper lens set as described in “Lens removal and Installation” in the Maintenance section of this manual.
3. Undo the cable gland nut from the plastic housing. (The large plastic nut inside the lightbar)
4. Unplug the data connector from the LED controller.
5. Using a No.2 point Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw grounding the external harness to the chassis, and the posi-
tive feed to the LED controller.
6. At this point the cable can be pulled from the opening in the plastic housing and the lightbar removed from the vehicle.
Feed the ring terminals through the plastic nut rst then the data connector and do this for the plastic housing also.
7. When reconnecting the lightbar, connect the wiring harnesses and cable gland as originally installed.
Wiring Instructions
Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the Network Junction Box Instructions section of this
manual.
1. After the light bar has been mounted, route the wiring harness into the vehicle to the intended network junction box location.
2. Route wires from the vehicle positive (preferrably the battery) to the switch panel in the cab. The vehicle negative should
be direct from the battery negative terminal also. Use suitable high-temperature wire if it passes through the engine compartment. Install a suitable fuse as close to the point of tapped power as possible.
3. See Network Junction Box Instructions for connecting the wires from the lightbar cable and the vehicle to the junction
box. This section has instructions for connecting the input wires from the junction box to the control circuits applicable for
each option. Leave unused wires unconnected and insulated.
4. Use cable ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.
Important! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its
continued operation should any other electrical accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other accessory.
CAUTION!
920-0505-00 Rev. B
Disconnect the battery before wiring up the light bar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/
or electrical shock.

Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it
is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect
the connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the
number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will signicantly
reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the
minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts
and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor
and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly
sized to protect the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices
to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the
vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot
environments or operated close to their capacity.
Network Junction Box Instructions
The Pursuit lightbar is controlled by the Code 3
Network Junction Box designed for multi-voltage
operation. Before proceeding with installation,
plan all cable routing and wiring carefully.
The Junction box can be mounted by screwing it
into any at surface using the 2 x
supplied screws,
preferably with a drip loop so it is not possible for
water to run down the cables into the unit.
THE JUNCTION BOX IS NOT WATERPROOF, IT
MUST BE MOUNTED WITHIN THE VEHICLE CABIN.

Warning Signal Modules
There are many different types of light heads producing various warning signals in the lightbar as explained below.
Note: LED modules are not user serviceable. All retaining screws to be torqued to 18 IN-LB (2.0 N-M).
Upper Deck Modules
Designed for an uncompromised warning signal, the
upper level LED modules combine maximum emitting
surface area with a very high output LED optical
system to produce an effective output at all angles
around the vehicle. These multi-voltage units operate
from 10V to 30V using 100% solid-state electronics and
LEDs rated to 100,000 hours of operation.
Lower Level LED Modules
Developed primarily to provide practical illumination
over a broad area around the vehicle, the lower level
cool-white LED modules pack high output into a very
slimline optic. Options range from individual alley or
takedown lights up to full 360° scene coverage, without
impacting on upper level lightbar lens or LED color
requirements. They can also be congured to ash in
conjunction with the upper level warning patterns. In
the amber version, the lower level can be congured
as a trafc advisor, with a high resolution switching
function for an improved visual effect.
Sign Light Module
Mounted inside the lightbar and fully protected from
weathering, the LED sign light is an enclosed module
carefully specied to provide homogenous backlighting
of the sign area while minimizing stray light. The
overlaid text is available in plain white text with black,
blue or amber background, or colored text with white
background. Signs are also available in mirrored text.
Lightbar Controller
The Lightbar Controller can control up to 32 separate light
heads, each of which can be congured to perform any
supported lightbar function. Multiple controllers can work
together in a lightbar to provide virtually unlimited lighting
outputs. Operating on the HazCAN serial bus, the Controller
is also able to provide power and data to the M5 Message
Display and other compatible devices while requiring only
a compact 4-wire harness out of the lightbar, regardless
of the number of functions. The Controller electronics are
encapsulated in high-temperature silicon potting material
and housed in a rugged cast aluminium case for maximum
durability. Lightbar chassis temperatures and ambient lighting
levels are monitored by the Controller in order to maximize
lighting output in a safe and controlled manner, over a wide
range of environmental conditions throughout the life of the
product.
CAUTION!
920-0505-00 Rev. B
Lightbar Controller outputs are only compatible with Pursuit LED Modules. The warranty will be
void if unsupported products are connected to the controller.
Page 6 of 12
Page 7
Auto Dimming (when congured in C3Pro
Conguration Programmer)
The lightbar is capable of automatically dimming
the highly intense warning signals produced by
the light heads. Onboard ambient light sensors
detect the level of daylight present, and can dim
the warning signals to a predetermined output.
This reduces the chance of dazzling other road
users, creating a safer environment at night.
Default settings have this feature disabled.
Please consult the C3 Pro™ Interface
Software (Quick Install) Manual for more
programming features and settings.

Maintenance
Occasional cleaning of the lenses will ensure optimum light output. Take care when cleaning lenses, although very
impact resistant, polycarbonate scratches easily. Clean the lens and base with soap and water or a lens polish
using a microber or other lint free soft cloth. Do not use solvents as they may damage the polycarbonate.
Lens Removal and Installation
1. Identify the lens(es) to be removed - not all lenses need to be removed to access the internal components.
2. Unfasten the retaining screws from the lens(es) of the lightbar - the screws can be left captive in the lens.
3. Carefully lift the lens off the seal – choose a suitable location to temporarily store the lens so as to not scratch
the surface.
4. When reinstalling, gently apply pressure around the upper lens taking care not to damage the seal around the
lower lens set. Retorque the retaining screws to 18 IN-LB (2.0 N-M).
