When mounting your lightbar, please be sure to keep any radio frequency sensitive equipment at least 20” from the bar and power cable(s). This is especially critical in lightbars utilizing strobes. Our strobe power supplies have been designed to limit RFI emissions, but certain very sensitive equipment may still be affected. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, sporadic operation and degraded performance. Star Headlight & Lantern Co., Inc. cannot assume any responsibility for any radio frequency induced malfunction or damage to any radios, sirens, lightbars, or any other equipment mounted within 20” of a strobe lightbar. Any antennae mounted in the proximity of the lightbar may cause your radio to suffer the aforementioned results.
PLEASE NOTE: THE DIRECT MOUNT IS THE STANDARD MOUNT INCLUDED WITH THE LIGHTBAR. THE HOOK MOUNTS MUST BE USED ON ALL POLICE AND/ OR OTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLES!!! THE HOOK MOUNTS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH EACH LIGHTBAR. THEY MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY. SEE THE ACCOMPANYING HOOK MOUNT MANUAL FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF AVAILABLE MOUNTS AND KNOWN VEHICLE APPLICATIONS.
I
t is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the lightbar is mounted securely. Check your light every time you enter the vehicle to ensure that it is mounted securely. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the secure mounting of this light.

Mounting Instructions
Please review the separate Mounting Bracket manual that is also enclosed with your bar for mounting instructions.
Wiring Harness Replacement
All standard lightbar models are designed for 12VDC negative ground vehicles only. Reverse polarity will cause serious damage to the lightbar and/or vehicle.
Contact the automotive dealer if there are any doubts about the polarity of your vehicle.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the existing wire harness supplied with the lightbar,
Standard Razor lightbars come with a 15-foot wiring harness. If the harness supplied with the lightbar is not long enough for your application, Star recommends ordering the proper cable of the desired length from the factory. Completely remove the pre-installed wire harness and replace it with one that is the correct length.
Star recommends direct wiring to the terminal block on the inside of the lightbar, rather than making connections to the end of the wire that is supplied.
This lightbar is designed so that when replacing the wire harness, no wire connectors are needed and only a few common tools are necessary.
Direct wiring allows the wire connections to the lightbar to be made in a clean and dry environment, avoiding any problems that may arise due to weathering on external connections.
Wiring directly inside the lightbar reduces the number of connections. There is an increase in voltage loss with the addition of each connection.
Making connections to the wires already provided is an acceptable alternative, as long as these connections are good electrical connections and are resistant from weathering effects.
1. Determine the number of wires that you will need to run. Your lightbar may not use all of the wires in the harness that was shipped with the lightbar. Please note which functions your bar has, then review the lists on pages 1-2 to determine which wires you will need to connect. The bare drain wire in our harness is optional (but recommended) and is only necessary if you are experiencing RFI problems.
2. Locate the end of the lightbar into which the wire harness runs. The black terminal block(s), which you will be making your wire terminations to, should also be located at this same end.
3. Remove the dome lens at this end of the lightbar:
Step A: Loosen the four screws holding
Step B: Lift the dome off of the base
Step C: When all work is completed,
each dome on.
exposing the interior components.
reverse the steps to reinstall the dome, taking care that the gasket is properly aligned.
-3-
Page 7
(Direct Wiring Guide CONT’D)
4. The wiring harness will connect to one or more terminal blocks inside the lightbar. All of
the wires coming from the harness are terminated on one side of the terminal block and the wires leading to the internal components terminate on the opposite side of the terminal block. The Wiring Guide on pages 1-2 lists the wire colors from the harness in the same order as they are connected to the terminal block(s). Using the Wiring Guide, note which end of the terminal block(s) the wires in your harness start from.
5. Loosen the screws on the HARNESS SIDE of the terminal block and remove the harness.
Remember that there may be “dead” wires from the harness connected to the terminal block inside your lightbar, but there will be no wires connected to the terminal across from them. These are extra wires in the harness that are not used. Replacing these wires in your new harness is not necessary.
6. Run the new external wires up through the wire bushing into the base and to the terminal
block(s). Use the Wiring Guide to help determine where each of your new wires should be connected.
7. Strip each wire 1/4". Connect the external wires to the proper poles of the terminal block
by inserting the stripped portion of the wire under the rising clamp screw and tightening down the screw. Note that no wire terminals are needed for connecting wires to this terminal block.
Be sure to check that no strands of wire are loose and shorting to the adjacent terminal or to the base of the lightbar.
All switches used should be rated for at least 125% of their rated load.
Please note that your lightbar may have more or fewer wires in the harness or from the lightbar, and it may or
may not use terminal jumpers as pictured below.

Electrical Connections
All standard lightbar models are designed for 12VDC negative ground vehicles only. Reverse polarity will cause serious damage to the lightbar and/or vehicle.
Contact the automotive dealer if there are any doubts about the polarity of your vehicle.
RF INTERFERENCE
Please take the following steps to help eliminate any Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) with your two-way radio.
DO NOT run the power wire for the lightbar along same path as any antenna wires.
DO NOT run the power wire for the lightbar along same path as any radio power wires.
DO NOT tap power for the lightbar off of the radio power wires.
DO NOT mount the lightbar within 20” of any antennae. Sometimes mounting the
lightbar or antenna over by just one foot can make a large difference in the interference.
Ensure the black wire from the lightbar has a good connection to the negative side of the battery.
For all standard Razor lightbars, 15 feet of cable (plus a drain wire and a foil shield) is supplied with the bar. All wires are color coded and sized at the correct gauge. If this length is not sufficient, it is recommended that the wire harness be completely replaced with the only connections to be made directly at the terminal block inside the lightbar. This will reduce the number of wire connections and help prevent any weathering problems on these connections. Refer to the Direct Wiring Guide on pages 3-4 for further instructions on this.
CAUTION: All wires and switches should be rated for at least 125% of their maximum current load. In addition, all wires connected to the positive terminal of the
battery should be fused at the battery for 125% of their rated load. The load can be calculated by adding all lamp wattages and dividing by 13. (Load <Amps> = Total Watts / 13 volts) Do not use 1/4" diameter glass fuses, as they are not suitable for continuous duty above 20 amps. If you are unsure of the current draw, please contact our Customer Service Department.
TESTING THE LIGHTBAR BEFORE IT IS PROPERLY FUSED & INSTALLED WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!!
The black ground wire should be connected to the negative terminal of your vehicle’s battery. This wire should be as short as possible in order to minimize the voltage loss in this wire and reduce any chance of overheating.
Your harness will contain all of the colored wires in its corresponding harness. Most applications though, will not use every wire. The “dead” wires in the harness will be connected to the terminal block inside your lightbar, but there will be no wires connected to the terminal across from them. These “dead” wires can be used for additional components that may be added at some point in the future, or they may be used to separately switch components that are currently wired together.
Since many of the lightbars we build have custom components, and numerous different harnesses are used, wire colors WILL vary. You can use the Wire Guide on pages 1-2 or the worksheet shipped with each bar to identify the function of each wire If you are still unsure of the function of a particular wire, you may test the function by grounding the black wire and applying +12VDC to the wire in question. Be sure to use a 20-amp fuse when testing.

Pattern Programming
Before changing the pattern, please review these key points about programming the lightbar:
The lightbar consists of two separate circuits. One circuit controls the driver's side and the other circuit controls the passenger's side.
The driver's side circuit and passenger's side circuit are programmed with different wires. The colors will vary depending upon your harness. Review the chart on pages 1-2 that corresponds to your harness to identify the color of each of the programming wires.
The two sides are usually programmed at the same time by connecting the two pattern programming wires together. The only exception typically will be when you wish to set the two sides for patterns that differ from one another.
The default pattern for this lightbar will produce a Quadflash with Post Pop pattern that alternates between the two halves of both the passenger side and driver side.
1. Connect both the Driver Side and Passenger Side Pattern Select wires together.
2. Power up the light so that it is flashing.
3. Touch and hold the Pattern Select Wires to +12-24VDC for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the
light should blink once and you should release the Pattern Select wires. This will set both circuits to Pattern 1 (Alternating Flicker).
4. Touch the Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for one second and release them to scroll through the patterns listed on the following page. The cycle will repeat itself after the last pattern.
5. Once you find the pattern you wish to display, connect the Pattern Select wires to ground and deactivate the light. This will store the selected pattern.
Programming Shortcuts
For quicker programming, you can skip directly to specific patterns in the programming sequence. Touch and hold the Pattern Select wires to +12/24VDC for the length of time that corresponds to the pattern you would like to jump to. Then release the Pattern Select wires once the light blinks the appropriate number of times.
Length of Hold Unit Blinks Jumps to
3 seconds 6 seconds
9 seconds 12 seconds 15 seconds
If you wish to set the lightbar back to the factory default pattern(s), proceed below:
1. Follow Steps 1-2 above.

2. Instead of holding both Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for three seconds, as indicated in Step 3 above, hold them to +12-24VDC for 6 seconds.
3. After 6 seconds, the light will blink twice.
4. Release the Pattern Select wires and both circuits will be programmed for Pattern 6 (Alternating Quadflash).
5. Touch the Pattern Select wires to +12-24VDC for one second and release them. This will advance the circuits to Pattern 7 (Alternating Quadflash with Post Pop).
6. Connect the Pattern Select wires to ground and deactivate the light. This will store the selected pattern(s).

The S8070-346-2**circuit, used in these lightbars, has low input voltage detection. With this feature the lightbar senses the input voltage and flashes a fast pattern (approximately 16 cycles per second) to indicate to the user that the battery voltage in getting low (less than 10V). Once the input voltage returns to normal (greater than 12V) the unit will return to the normal flashing.
