4. Connect the fuse end of the white wire from the supplied J1 cable harness as close as possible to
switched ignition power. Power should also be present in the cranking start position.

16AWG wire to extend cable length.
Quick Testing the Light Bar
Before programming and testing flash patterns, perform the LIGHT BAR TEST to ensure that all LEDs light
properly by following these steps:
NOTE: This feature does not test the STEADY BURN LED lightheads.
The SW2 Switch 3 must be in the UP position for the LIGHT BAR TEST (Table 1 below).
Applying 12 Vdc to the LIGHT BAR TEST control wire activates a test pattern that illuminates each head
sequentially. At the end of the sequence, the ALLEY and TAKEDOWN lights turn on.
For light bars with SpectraLux
®
Technology (Valor
®
and Vision
®
SLR), refer to the manual shipped with the
light bar for the test sequence. SCENE LIGHT is unavailable with this switch setting.
