THE STROBE TUBE ASSEMBLY WHEN IN OPERATION!

"COMPOSITE" AUTOMOTIVE HEADLIGHT, CORNER LIGHT
OR TAIL LIGHT INSTALLATION USING AN UNDERCOVER
STROBE LIGHT HEAD.

1. Since the Undercover Strobe Light Head will share the
same reflector as the headlight, brake light or corner light,
make sure the Undercover Push-In Strobe Tube does not
interfere with the proper operation of the currently existing
lights.

2. After taking the "Composite" reflector assembly from the
vehicle, select a surface in the rear or bottom of the "Compos­ite" housing which is as flat as possible and cut a 1" hole. Push
the Strobe Light into the housing.

3. After selecting the best location for the Strobe Power
Supply (refer to the Power Supplies Instructions), string the 3
conductor cable (Figure A) from the Power Supply location to
the remote Strobe Light Head.

NOTE

The end of the 3 conductor cable with the
closed tip terminals (male pins) are to be
connected to the Strobe Power Supply and
the open ended terminals (female sockets)
are to connect to the Strobe Light Head
Assembly.

Make sure the strobe cable is secure along the chosen cable
routing inside the vehicle to prevent it from damage by chafing
or stretching. When used to connect Strobe Lights located in
the front of the vehicle, such as head lights, be sure to keep the
cable away from engine HOT spots.

WARNING

Strobe Tubes generate HIGH heat. Be certain
to install Undercover Tubes into a light housing
of sufficient size to dissipate the heat.

conductor power cable to be connected to the Undercover
Remote Strobe Light Head Assembly, see Figure A. Connect
the cable and light first.

5. Install the amp 3 socket housing onto the end of the 3
conductor power cable to be connected to the Strobe Power
Supply, see Figure A. Connect this cable to one of the Strobe
Light outlets located on the Strobe Power Supply. Repeat the
installation instructions for the other remaining Strobe Light
Heads. Connect the Strobe Power Supply to the power source
as indicated in the instructions enclosed with the Power
Supply. Test the system.

NOTE

This testing may be performed before securing
the remote Strobe Light Head Assembly to
the mounting surface of the "Composite"
housing assembly as described in Section 2.

WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Mounting this device in an improper location may

impair the designed safety characteristics of

the vehicle in the event of a collision.

Consult the vehicle manufacturer before

installing this or any other aftermarket device to

determine its proper mounting location.
Failure to consult and follow the vehicle

manufacturer’s mounting recommendations

may result in serious personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION

The cable supplied with the Undercover Strobe Head is a
shielded type with a length of shield wire exposed on each end.
On the end of the cable at the Undercover Strobe Head, cut the
shield flush with the cable jacket. On the other end of the cable,
by the Power Supply, the shield wire is to be grounded to the
vehicle chassis to reduce radio or other communication sys­tem interference. ALWAYS KEEP THIS WIRE AS SHORT AS
POSSIBLE WHEN GROUNDING. If this ground shield wire is
not to be installed, cut it flush with the cable jacket.

NOTE

SoundOff Signal Strobe Light Systems are
designed to interface with SoundOff Signal
Strobe Light Power Supplies. They are also
100% field compatible with Whelen and Tomar
Power Supplies, cables and light heads.
Detailed wiring, switching and installation
instructions are enclosed with the Strobe
Light Power Supply.

WARNING

The Strobe Power Supply is a high voltage
device, therefore DO NOT remove Strobe
Tubes or dismantle light heads while unit is
operating. ALWAYS WAIT TEN MINUTES

AFTER TUNING OFF THE POWER BEFORE
STARTING ANY TROUBLE SHOOTING.

T o Reduce EMI emissions, ONE end of the shield (drain wire)
of the extension cable connecting the output of the power
supply to the Lighthead should be connected to ground. Make
sure ONLY ONE END of the shield is tied to ground. The
other end needs to be taped or cut.
