Operational & Programming Instructions

Programming Warning & Directional Modes Using The Lightbar Control Cable or The 94X­DCP Digital Control Panels

The 970L Lightbar flash patterns may be custom programmed by using the Lightbar Control Cable, or by
using either of theTOMAR 94X-DCP Digital Control Panel or the TOMAR 94X-SIREN Siren Amp & Digital
Control Panels.

The 970L Lightbars have a wide variety of Flash Patterns built into the 970L-CONTROLLER. Using
EEPROM
CONTROLLER allows for independent programming of the Front, Rear, and Side Lamps. Factory set
patterns & a complete list of programmable patterns are detailed in Appendix A for the length of 970L
Lightbar you have ordered.

flash memory, the 970L-CONTROLLER can be reprogrammed many times. The 970L-

There are two ways to activate the control wires for the 970L lightbar. The first method is to control the
lightbar by using a progressive slide switch. The second method is to control the lightbar using independent
rocker

or on/off switches. Program the lightbar for all the individual and or wire combinations which will be

used in this installation.

Programming Warning Modes Using The Lightbar Control Cable

To activate the lightbar programming mode:

GROUND the 10 AWG BLACK power wire.
Apply +12vdc to the 12 AWG RED power wire & the GRN control wire.

Selecting the Warning Mode to Program

Apply +12vdc to program the desired Mode wire combinations, see the switching
examples

NOTE: All 7 possible combinations of the 3 warning mode wires (ORG, BLU, WHT/BLK) can be
programmed uniquely. If two or more wires are to be activated simultaneously, the wire combination must be
programmed as well. The last flash pattern programmed before exiting the programming mode becomes the
operational setting.

Operational & Programming Instructions

Example - Program Progressive Slide Switch Apply +12vdc to:
Mode 1 – ORG ORG
Mode 2 – ORG + BLU ORG + BLU
Mode 3 – ORG + BLU + WHT/BLK ORG + BLU + WHT/BLK

Example - Program Independent Switch Apply +12vdc to:
Mode 1 – ORG ORG
Mode 2 – BLU BLU
Mode 3 – WHT/BLK WHT/BLK

Advancing Selectable Warning Mode Patterns and Flash Rates

Once Warning Mode Programming has been entered and the Mode to be programmed activated, tap (apply
and remove) the appropriate wire to advance through the available ash patterns and ash rates. Continue
until the desired WARNING MODE AND FLASH RATE HAVE BEEN is selected.

Advancing Warning Pattern Selection:

Tapping the RED/WHT wire advances the REAR Warning Lamp patterns.
Tapping the BRN/WHT wire advances the FRONT Warning Lamp patterns.
Tapping the GRAY wire advances the SIDE Warning Lamp patterns.

Advancing Warning Flash Rate Selection:

Tapping the RED/WHT + WHT wire advances the REAR Flash Rate.
Tapping the BRN/WHT + WHT wire advances the FRONT Flash Rate.
Tapping the GRAY + WHT wire advances the SIDE Flash Rate.

Advancing Optional Features (if ordered):

These optional Steadyburn Light features can be programmed to be OFF or FLASHING in warning modes. In
normal operation, activation of a Steadyburn light overrides this warning mode.

Tapping the BRN wire toggles the Takedown Light between OFF and Flashing.
Tapping the VIO wire toggles the Rearwork Light between OFF and Flashing.
Tapping the YEL wire toggles the Alley Lights between OFF and Flashing.

Repeat for each Warning Mode wire and or combinations of Warning Mode wires.
To Exit Warning Mode Programming, remove power from all 970L power and control wires.
