The Code 3 RockerPak Series Lighting Control is a reliable and versatile
unit with options that allow customized switch packages. The variety of final
products is too great to be shown here in its entirety, but factory wiring
makes the installation similar to the following examples in most cases.

General Instructions
1. Determine whether your control unit should be wired from the vehicle's
battery or ignition circuitry, depending on the need for security and/or total
access.
2. See the hook-up details for your model(s) as shown below. If you have a
non-standard model, use the hook-up for the model having the same switch
in the position illustrated.
3. Use #10 A.W.G. wire feed +(POS)12-volt supply to circuit breaker or
fuse, then to switch unit. Circuit protection should be rated at 125% of the
total load. Units with factory installed circuit breakers or fuse stacks may be
straight wired without additional protection.
4. Units with Legend Backlighting may be hooked up as provided if you
choose to operate the system from the ignition circuit. If you plan to operate
with the switches always live, carefully cut the single red feed line to the
backlighting light bulbs and use a butt-splice connector to provide power
from the ignition circuit to prevent battery discharge. Remove the cut off end
to prevent short circuits.
5. IMPORTANT: You will save time and protect the switches from damage
by carefully aligning the male and female spade connectors before inserting.
Use free hand on the rocker switch face to oppose insertion force.
6. Connect from vehicle chassis to switch unit ground (black wire) using #18
A.W.G. wire.
7. Connect each switch to the appropriate device using recommended wire
sizes from the table on page 5, with fuses rated at 125% of each individual
wire load. Do not fuse higher than the switch rating.
Models 415F, 415PR and 415PO

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The STINGRAY and ROTATE switches are
wired together to provide the unique operational
features of the StingRay oscillating signal. These
switches may be activated at the same time; however
ROTATE overrides STINGRAY R (Rear only). STINGRAY F (Front only) overrides
ROTATE and does not operate unless ROTATE is also activated. The ROTATE
switch will be lighted whenever the warning lights are lit.
Model 415T and all models with Circuit Breakers
Use this hook-up (as shown on right) for any control furnished with circuit
breakers. See page 6 for PTO bracket installation.
