MOUNTING

Drill a 1” diameter hole in the reector of the lens assembly.
A 1” hole saw is typically used. The HIDE-A-LED™ may be used as a
template to mark the location of the two screw holes. The Z1000 may
be mounted in either the back surface, bottom or sides of a reector.
Drill pilot holes with a 7/64” drill bit. Install the HIDE-A-LED™ into the
lens assembly using the supplied gasket and screws. If the mount­ing surface is curved additional sealing may be necessary. Use RTV
Silicone sealant if needed.

! HOT !

THE HEATSINK WILL BE HOT AFTER RUNNING
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. DO NOT TOUCH.
IT WILL NOT MELT ANY OF THE PLASTIC
PARTS OF THE LENS ASSEMBLY.

STRAP THE WATERPROOF
POWER MODULE TO THE BODY
OF THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM

ANY HIGH HEAT SOURCES.

DO NOT DRILL HOLES THROUGH THE POWER MODULE!

THE Z1000 HAS AN INTEGRATED HEATSINK WHICH MUST BE
USED TO MAINTAIN A SAFE OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

! THE HEATSINK MUST NOT BE REMOVED !

THE HEATSINK CAN BE BENT INTO ANY SHAPE NEEDED TO FIT

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The cable on the HIDE-A-LED™ was made long enough to run across
the front or the rear of a vehicle. Trim the cable shorter if needed. The

wiring diagram on page 2 shows a typical install.

RED: +V

Connect to +V through an ON/OFF switch.

The use of a fuse located close to the voltage source is recommended.
Size the fuse according to the number of heads used in the system.

18AWG or larger wire is recommended.

BLACK: - GROUND
Connect to - GROUND vehicle chassis.
18AWG or larger wire is recommended.

BLUE: Flash pattern SYNC and SELECTION wire.

If you wish to have all the LED heads synchronize
their ash timings and patterns with each other then all the BLUE wires
must be connected together (64 Heads Maximum).
The BLUE wire is also used to select the ash pattern.
Touch the BLUE wire to +V to select the next pattern in the FLASH
PATTERN LIST. The BLUE wire can also be run to a momentary
push-button located on the dashboard to allow the ash pattern to be

changed when desired.

Note: Do not connect the BLUE wire to - Ground.

It will disrupt the ash pattern sync signal.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FLASH PATTERNS

YELLOW: Alternating / Simultaneous selection.

(It is assumed that all BLUE wires are connected together.)

Connect to either +V or GROUND (GND).

Heads with YELLOW connected to +V re at the same time.
Heads with YELLOW connected to GND re at the same time.
Heads with YELLOW connected to +V will ALTERNATE with heads that have

YELLOW connected to GND.

SPLIT COLOR HEADS:

Z1000 heads with 2 colors always alternate from side to side within themselves.
The YELLOW wire reverses the direction so that two heads can either ash the
same color at the same time or different colors at the same time.

BLUE

RED

The Z1000 will also synchronize with any HIDE-A-LED™ SD24 or BULL
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
rst time to ensure that all heads are in sync.

Touch BLUE wires to +V (RED wire) while applying power.
Release BLUE wires. All heads will reset to Pattern #2.

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

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

STANDARD PATTERNS:

The HIDE-A-LED™ ships with only the standard patterns enabled. To enable
cycle ash patterns follow the procedure below.

CYCLE PATTERNS:

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

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

If you have installed a pattern select push-button, press and hold pattern select

while turning power switch ON.

2) Hold BLUE wires on +V for 5 SECONDS (heads will not be ashing during
this time). After 5 SECONDS the heads will ash once or twice to indicate the
ash pattern list that has been selected:

ONE FLASH = Standard Patterns only.
TWO FLASHES = Standard + Cycle Patterns.

3) Remove the BLUE wires from +V (or release push-button).

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.

Saltwater 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 ash 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 ash pattern to change.
