7. Pattern Selection & Wiring
Once the ID Number for each unit is set, they may be wired for operation
according to the Operating Mode selected for the application.
Decide if you want to have a Pattern Select switch available. This may be useful if
you plan to switch patterns often.
If you are not using a Pattern Select switch, be sure to insulate the white wire when
finished, to prevent unexpected pattern changes if the wire accidentally shorts to
ground (-).
For all multiple-unit operations, select the same pattern for each unit before wiring.
This procedure is the same as for the One-Light Operating Mode.
1. Operation as a single unit:
Set the ID number to 1 (See Section 5).
Momentarily connect WHITE to BLACK.
Repeat until desired pattern is found.
From now on, this pattern will show each time you connect power to the unit.
If you leave a Pattern Select switch connected,
you can change patterns often if required.
If you don’t leave a pattern select switch
connected, be sure to insulate the white wire.

2. For operation of 2 units alternating:
Set the ID of one unit to ID#1
and the second unit to ID#2
(See Section 5).
For each unit, momentarily connect WHITE to
BLACK. Repeat until desired pattern is found.
Set each unit to the same pattern.
Connect the same color wires of unit 1 and unit 2; RED to RED, WHITE to WHITE
and BLACK to BLACK. Now when you sequence through the patterns with the
Pattern Select switch as shown below, both units will show the same pattern.
Stop sequencing when you see the pattern you want. After this, the lights will flash this
pattern when power is applied.
3. For operation of 2 -
4 units simultaneously:
Set the ID of all units to 1 (See Section 5).
For each unit, momentarily connect
WHITE to BLACK. Repeat until desired
pattern is found. Set each unit to the
same pattern.
Connect the same color wires of all units;
RED to RED, WHITE to WHITE and BLACK
to BLACK.
Now when you sequence through the
patterns with the Pattern Select switch as
shown, all units will show the same
pattern.
Stop sequencing when you see the pattern
you want. After this, the lights will flash
this pattern when power is applied.
4. For operation of 4 units as an ‘X-Pattern’:
Set the ID of 4 units as ID#1, ID#2, ID#3, and ID#4 (See Section 5).
For each unit, momentarily connect WHITE to BLACK. Repeat until desired pattern
is found. Set each unit to the same pattern (Pattern 15 or 16 per the table in Section
6) on each unit.
Connect the same color wires of each unit; RED to RED, WHITE
to WHITE and BLACK to BLACK as in section 3 above
Arrange unit placement as shown:

8. Slave Mode
The LP8US is capable of being activated through the use of a user-supplied flasher by
putting the unit in Slave Mode.
Permanently connect the WHITE and BLACK wires to 0V (-).
Connect the RED wire through a 5A fuse to the output of a DC10V-30V switching
flasher.
