Safety First
This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed. Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.
•Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics, systems and procedures.
•If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes.
•If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro®, clean the mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.
•Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
•For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post.
•If this product uses a remote device to activate or control this product, make sure that this control is located in an area that allows both the vehicle and the control to be operated safely in any driving condition.
•Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.
•This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity LEDs or a combination of these lights. Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result.
•Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could result in premature lens cracking (crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this condition have significantly reduced effectiveness and should be replaced immediately. Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting condition. Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product.
•It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and referred to when performing maintenance and/or reinstallation of this product.
•FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS!

IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of 16" from any radio antennas!
Permanent Mounting:
This mounting style requires removal of the headliner. There may be a roof support member that runs from the drivers to the passengers side of the vehicle. Do not drill through this member.
Remove one end cap
3/8-16 X 1-1/4" STEP BOLT
3/8" SPLIT LOCK WASHER
Caution: Permanent mounting of this
product will require drilling. It is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components could be damaged by this process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely, select a different mounting location.
1.When the mounting location has been determined, slide the 2 mounting bolts into the lightbar extrusion, one bolt in each track. Position these bolts so that they are at opposite ends of the extrusion and as far appart as possible.
2.Place the lightbar on the vehicle in its proposed mounting location. Mark the location of the 2 mounting bolts onto the mounting surface. Also, mark the area for the wire passage hole. This hole should be located directly below where the wires exit the extrusion.
3.Remove the lightbar and drill two, 5/16” dia. mounting holes and a 5/16” dia. wire passage hole. De-burr all three holes and install a rubber grommet (customer supplied) into the wire passage hole.
4.Route the wires through the grommet and to the necessary switches and power source as shown in the diagram below.
Wiring:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry the load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Scan-Lock™:
To operate Scan-Lock, switch the lightbar on. The Scan-Lock wire will be either WHT/VIO or WHT (See wiring) Magnetic and Suction mount models use a momentary switch on the cigar plug instead of a wire (12 volt only).
TO CHANGE PATTERNS: To cycle forward to the next pattern apply +VBAT to the Scan-Lock wire (or switch) for less than 1 second and release. To cycle back to the previous pattern apply +VBAT to Scan-Lock™ wire for over 1 second and release.
TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PATTERN: When the desired pattern is displayed, allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when initially activated.
TO RESTORE THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: With power off, apply +VBAT to the Scan-Lock™ wire (or switch). While continuing to apply power to Scan-Lock turn lighthead(s) on. The factory default pattern will be displayed.
A Normally Open momentary switch can be used to control Scan-Lock. See below for available flash patterns.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
CAUTION! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THESE LEDS WHILE THEY ARE ON. MOMENTARY BLINDNESS AND/OR EYE DAMAGE COULD RESULT!
