ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (applies to permanent mounting options only)

Power Wires:

1. Route customer supplied power and ground cables which are properly sized for the current consumption of the beacon (rated for a minimum of 125% above maximum current draw) between the power source (battery) and the beacon power and ground cables.

2. Install a maximum of 20Amp Fuse (customer supplied) to the end of the power cables as close to the power source (battery) as possible. a. Remove the fuse before connecting any wires to the battery. b. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.

3. Connect the other end of the Fuse to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. a. Do NOT use any more than 2ft of wire between the battery terminal and the fuse and ensure the wire is protected and secured from being cut into; this is non-fused wire.

4. Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground right next to the battery and the the ground cables of the beacon.

Control Wires (Blue, Orange, Yellow & Pink):

1. Route customer supplied wires between switch panel and the Blue, Orange, Yellow, and/or Pink wires. Use 20AWG type TXL wire as required to extend the length of the wires to reach the customer supplied switches.

2. The +12V supply to the control wires must be over-current protected to protect the wires and product against the possibility of a short circuit. A 1 amp fuse will be sufﬁcient since the control wire inputs require less than 10mA per input to activate.

Synch Wire (Green):

1. Connect the green wire to other Sync2 compatible products (nFORCE Secondary Light, nFORCE FIT & Dual Color Intersector Lights) which are on the vehicle and need to synchronize the ﬂash pattern. All product with the green wires connected must be operating the same ﬂash pattern otherwise incorrect ﬂash pattern timing will occur.

2. If synchronized ﬂash patterns to other product are not required, blunt cut and tape the end of the green wire to ensure the wire is protected from being unintentionally grounded while in service.

Pattern Select/Conﬁguration Wire (White):

1. Applying a momentary ground on the white wire will conﬁgure the product. Refer to the production conﬁguration section of the installation instructions for setup.

2. Once product is conﬁgured, blunt cut and tape the end of the white wire to ensure the wire is protected from being unintentionally grounded while in service and changing the conﬁguration.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

Product Conﬁguration:

1. The four control wires (blue, orange, yellow and pink) can each be assigned a function from the ﬂash pattern table, which include: a. Output a pattern, b. Enable a scene (where lights are steady on), c. Enable cruise mode (lights are on dimly), or d. Set lightbar to reduced power (night) mode.

2. Functionality is assigned to the control wires by applying +12V supply to the control wire and then grounding the white wire for a speciﬁc amount of time. a. To advance the next function in the list, tap the white wire to ground for < 1 second. b. To go back one function in the list, hold the white wire to ground for >1 second and < 2 seconds. c. To set the wire functionality to the default value, hold the white wire to ground >1 second and < 3 seconds. d. For beacons with more than one color, hold the white wire to ground for >3 seconds to set the color(s) used with the active control wire.

3. For beacons with multiple colors, the color(s) used for each control wire is set by grounding the white wire while applying +12V to the desired control wire for > 3 seconds. a. After 3 seconds, each color will turn on for 1 second. Release the white wire during this time to set the control wire function to the displayed color. b. Once all colors have been displayed, color combinations will light such that the 2 colors will alternate (½ second color 1 and ½ second color 2) for 3 times, followed by ½ second off. Release the white wire during this time to set the control wire function to the 2 ﬂashing colors.

4. The control board obtains information about the attached modules through a learning procedure that is performed in the factory. If the hardware is changed to modules of different types (e.g. colors are changed), the learning process will need to be repeated. a. If device is a beacon, ensure DIP Switch 2 is ON. If Light bar it should be OFF. b. To enable sync2 ensure DIP Switch 3 is ON. To disable sync2 ensure DIP Switch 3 is OFF. c. Move the DIP Switch 1 from OFF to ON and back to OFF to start the learning process. d. After approximately 2 seconds (during which time the lights may ﬂicker brieﬂy), all lights of each color will turn on for 2 seconds each. Observe the modules to make sure they are the proper color.

Operating Modes:

1. Flash Pattern Light modules will ﬂash with selected pattern. If multiple control wires are set to output a pattern are active simultaneously the wire with the highest priority will be active (Pink > Yellow > Orange > Blue).

2. Scene Modules for scene will stay on continuously. If only some light modules are used for the scene then a ﬂash pattern can be active on other light modules.

3. Cruise Selected modules will stay on continuously at a dim value. Patterns and Scenes will take priority over a cruise function if both are active.

4. Low Power If a low power functionality is enabled along with a pattern or scene, the pattern or scene will be active at a lower light output level.

5. Sleep If no input is active, the device will enter a low power sleep mode.

WARNING

Route wires only in locations that are not subjected to potential wear. Make sure to avoid routing wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Refer to your vehicle’s

owner’s manual for airbag deployment zone.
