ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

YELLOW: Alternating / Simultaneous selection.

The BLUE wires of all SD24 heads must be connected together for the alternating /simultaneous function to work.

Connect to either +V or GROUND (GND). The YELLOW wire makes the head fire AT THE SAME TIME or ALTERNATING with the other heads in the system. Heads with YELLOW connected to +V fire at the same time. Heads with YELLOW connected to GND fire at the same time. Heads with YELLOW connected to +V will ALTERNATE with heads that have YELLOW connected to GND. The YELLOW wire has no function in STEADY ON mode.

The SD24 will also synchronize with any BULL LED or HIDEA-LED head. The wiring colors and functions are identical.

POWER-UP RESET:

After installing the system it is best to do a POWER-UP RESET the first time to ensure that all heads are in sync. Touch wires to +V wire) while applying power. Release wires. All heads will reset to Pattern #2.

If you have installed a pattern select pushbutton, press and hold pattern select while turning power switch ON.

To select a flash pattern, touch to +V or press pattern select switch to increment the flash pattern. The heads will remember the selected pattern even if power is removed.

You may add patterns 9 through 16 by following this procedure:

1) Touch wires to +V wire) while applying power.

(RED

If you have installed a pattern select pushbutton, press and hold pattern select while turning power switch ON.

2) Hold wires on +V for 5 SECONDS (heads will not be

BLUE

flashing during this time). After 5 SECONDS the heads will flash once or twice to indicate the flash pattern list that has been selected: ONE FLASH = Standard Patterns only.

3) Remove the BLUE wires from +V (or release pushbutton).

You may switch the pattern set at any time as many times as you wish. All heads will remember the pattern set that was selected even when power is removed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

HEAD NOT FLASHING:

Check the RED and BLACK wires for a reversed connection. (Reverse connection will not damage the unit). Check RED and BLACK wires for either a bad splice or a corroded ground connection.

HEADS NOT SYNCHRONIZING:

Check for a short circuit on the BLUE wire to either +V or GROUND. Salt water on the wire connections will short circuit the sync signal on the BLUE wire. Check for non-functional heads in the system. If any one of the heads has a bad GROUND connection it can cause the sync signal to become corrupted. If any one of the heads has it's RED and BLACK wires reverse connected it will corrupt the sync signal.

FLASH PATTERN CHANGING:

If the flash pattern changes on it's own there may be an intermittent short between the BLUE wire and +V. Check for water in the wiring connections. If any one of the heads in the system has an intermittent GROUND connection it can also cause the flash pattern to change.
