Wiring Instructions:

The beacon is terminated with a 12" long 6-wire cable harness that may be connected as follows:

COLOR FUNCTION CONNECT TO

Red Power +VDC

Black Ground Chassis ground

White Pattern switching Chassis ground to activate

Yellow

Green

Violet

Synchronization

Failure mode detect

Dim

See synchronization below

See failure mode detect below

+VDC to activate

Operation:

Synchronization:

To synchronize multiple beacons, congure as noted below. A maximum of 8 lights may be synchronized.

- To congure the beacons to ash their patterns simultaneously, advance the pattern for each beacon to Phase

0 mode of the chosen pattern. Connect the YELLOW wires from each beacon together. When the beacons are

activated, their patterns will ash together.

- To congure the beacons to alternate their patterns, advance the pattern of either beacon (but not both) to the

Phase 1 mode of the chosen pattern.

Failure Mode Detect:

This feature activates when +VDC is connected to the beacon. The following conditions are checked:

- Input voltage is at an adequate level to fully operate the beacon.

- The beacon's micro-processor is operating.

When the above are satised, the green wire is switched to ground and will support a current load up to 250

milli-amps. The green wire may serve to control an Indicator Light connected to +VDC that activates when the

beacon is ON and is functioning. The indicator light is not provided with the beacon.

Setting the Flash Pattern:

Momentarily connect the WHITE wire to chassis ground as follows:

- For the NEXT pattern; release contact when beacon ashes ON (less than 2 seconds)

- For the PREVIOUS pattern; release contact when beacon ashes ON then OFF (2 to 4 seconds)

- For the DEFAULT pattern; release contact when beacon ashes ON then OFF then ON again (greater

than 4 seconds)
