Selecting the ArrowStik Pattern
As mentioned previously, the DEFENDER will come from the factory with the ArrowStik patterns set in the default conguration, which
is the Building 6HD conguration. See Table 2 above. The current conguration can be determined by observing the operation of the
ArrowStik unit. Note that FLASH Signal Patterns marked with an Asterisk "*" are available in Fast, Medium or Slow ash rate.
Note: It will be important to observe the operation of the ArrowStik unit during the programming proce-
dure while stepping through the signal options. Signals are available for 5, 6 or 8 head congurations.
Also refer to the trafc directing signal options in Table 2 for the following procedure.
The Pattern Select wire is the BLK/RED wire in the sixteen conductor lightbar control cable and is activated by momentarily touching the
wire to +power.
STEP 1
Power-up the lightbar and select the ArrowStik mode that you wish to program (LEFT, CENTER-OUT, RIGHT or FLASH).
STEP 2
Observe the ArrowStik operation and determine the current mode. Determine what pattern and conguration the control head is cur-
rently in, if not in the factory default.
Once the pattern / conguration have been determined, proceed to Step 3.
STEP 3
Refer to Table 2, above. This table shows the available patterns for each mode and their order in program memory. Notice that for the
LEFT, CENTER-OUT and RIGHT positions there are four (4) pattern choices; Building, Building with 3 Flash for the end lights, Traveling
Ball with 3 ash for the end lights and Build/Collapse, three (3) congurations for the number of heads; 5, 6 or 8HD and three (3) speeds;
Fast, Medium and Slow. There are a total of twelve possible selections for each conguration of light heads and then you return to the
top selection, Building 8 HD, Fast. Starting from the rst pattern in Table 2 you can step through each pattern, ( 1-4 ) for an 8HD, ( 5-8
) for a 6HD and ( 9-12 ) for a 5HD conguration, by momentarily holding the Pattern Select wire to +power for 1-2 seconds, until the
Arrowstik TriCore Heads stop, and then releasing. This will step to the next pattern in Table 2 for the selected mode. The new pattern is
automatically stored each time.
Note: HOLD the Pattern Select wire to +POWER source until you are sure Arrowstik pattern has changed (~1 second) before
releasing the wire from the +POWER source. To restore the Factory Default Arrowstik patterns, hold the PGM wire on the
+POWER source for ~four (4) seconds .
When the FLASH function is selected, the same procedure applies as above, but you will notice in Table 2 that the patterns are not
grouped by the number of heads or outputs. These are trafc warning patterns and work equally well for any conguration of TriCore light
heads. There are a total of nine ( 1-9 ) trafc warning patterns available. Flash patterns marked with an asterisk "*" may also be select-
able in Fast, Medium or Slow ash rate. When you have programmed the desired pattern for the selected function, proceed to Step 4.
STEP 4
Select another mode and repeat the previous steps until all of the functions are programmed as desired.
