The SpeedTech Lights FLARE 12 HIDEAWAY is a professional-grade emergency warning device designed to alert pedestrians and other operators to the presence of personnel, emergency vehicles, or an emergency site. It is intended for strict use by authorized personnel only, who must be familiar with all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding the use of emergency vehicle warning devices.
The FLARE 12 HIDEAWAY is a compact LED warning light with 12 LEDs and a dome lens optic. It operates on 12 VDC and has a current draw of less than 1.0 Amps. The device offers 34 different flash patterns, including steady burn, single flash at various speeds (120FPM, 150FPM, 75FPM, 180FPM, 210FPM), double flash, quad flash, quint flash, alternating patterns, and rotational patterns. It features non-volatile memory, which recalls the last flash pattern when the unit is powered on. Flash patterns can be cycled through using a dedicated Flash Pattern button on a Grand Control Box (if used) or by manually contacting the Flash Pattern wire to +12 VDC. A steady burn mode can be toggled by holding the Flash Pattern wire to +12 VDC for 3 seconds.
The device supports synchronization with other FLARE 12 units. For basic synchronization, all units must be powered on and flashing the same pattern. The White cables of all units are connected, and then the Yellow cables of all units are contacted to +12 VDC to cycle through patterns. Powering all units off and back on completes the sync process. For alternating synchronization, units are divided into two groups. The Blue cables of the first group are connected, and then contacted to +12 VDC for 3 seconds until the first group units are in steady burn (half of each unit will light up). The same process is repeated for the second group's Blue cables, but contacted to +12 VDC for 5 seconds until the second group units are in steady burn, with the opposite half of each unit lighting up. All programming for both groups must be completed before the steady burn portions cease.
Bench test all units prior to installation by connecting the Red (Positive) and Black (Negative) cables to a power source to ensure all features and parts are functional. Check LED diode and module functionality, flash patterns, non-volatile memory, and for any physical damage.
