Tomar Scorpion 970L User Manual

Tomar Scorpion
970L Lightbar
Operational & Programming Instructions
Programming Warning & Directional Modes Using The Lightbar Control Cable or The 94X-
DCP Digital Control Panels
The 970L Lightbar flash patterns may be custom programmed by using the Lightbar Control Cable, or by
using either of t
h
e TOMAR 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
flash memory, the 970L-CONTROLLER can be reprogrammed many times. The 970L-
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.
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
below.
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.
