guideline, complete the applicable electrical connections for
the functions/options installed in your AeroDynic Solaris
lightbar. Switch current capacities should be at least 15
amps.
Any of the light bar functions can be activated by
applying 12VDC to the appropriate control line.
The heavy black lead (-) must be connected to
vehicle ground, to perform a function check.
C. Connect the black lead to chassis ground.
If wires are shorted to the vehicle frame or
each other, high current conductors can
cause hazardous sparks resulting in electri-
cal fires and molten metal.
Verify that no short circuits exist before
connecting to the Positive (+) battery termi-
nal.
DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle
battery until ALL other electrical connec-
tions are made and mounting of all compo-
nents is complete.
Failure to observe this WARNING will result in fire,
burns and blindness.
D. Programming High-Side Flasher (see figure 1).
DO NOT connect flasher to brake light
circuit of ANY vehicle.
DO NOT connect flasher to the headlight
circuit of any vehicle.
Connection of aftermarket electrical equip-
ment into this circuit may interfere with the
brake shift interlock.
This could cause the vehicle to unexpectedly
move forward causing possible property
damage, injury or death to the vehicle
operator or others.
The flasher will provide the end user with two
preselected flash patterns. The preselected flash patterns
are to be chosen from the nine factory programmed

patterns provided with each flasher. It is recommended
that the preselected flash patterns be determined and
programmed during installation.
The red/green LED in each flasher will be illumi-
nated green when an SAE approved flash pattern is
selected. When an unapproved SAE flash pattern is
selected, the LED will be illuminated red. The red/green
LED may alternate between red and green for several flash
patterns.
The following procedures demonstrate the pro-
gramming and operating features of the flasher:
Turn on the flasher by applying Power (+) and
Ground (-). The flasher can be programmed at the flasher by
either shorting the programming pins together momentarily or
remotely done by connecting the program pin to ground. The
flasher will begin to flash in Mode 1(Primary Pattern). By
shorting the PROGRAM pin to GND, the flasher will switch to
the next pattern. The flasher will step through the patterns
each time the program pin is shorted, returning to the top once
after the ninth pattern is displayed. To lock in a chosen
pattern, allow the pattern to run for 15-seconds and it is now
programmed.
To turn on the flasher in Mode 2 (Secondary Pattern),
turn the flasher system on and connect the Pattern Select
connection to Power (+). By shorting the PROGRAM pin to
GND, the flasher will switch to the next pattern. The flasher
will again step through the patterns each time the program
pin is shorted, returning to the top once after the ninth pattern
is displayed. To lock in a chosen pattern, allow the pattern to
run for 15-seconds and it is now programmed.
Channel 1 may be cutoff while the flasher continues
to run and channel 2 continues to flash. +12V is applied to
cutoff 1 to cutoff the channel.
The flasher is now programmed. When power is
applied to the flasher, it will flash in Mode 1 (Primary Pattern).
To operate the Mode 2 (Secondary Pattern) switch +DC to the
Pattern Select Pin. Releasing the switch returns the flasher to
flashing Mode 1 (Primary Pattern).
IV. MAINTENANCE.
High voltages may be present inside the
lightbar. Wait at least ten (minutes), after
shutting off power, before servicing this unit.
Failure to do so may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death to you or
others.
Disconnect ALL power to the unit before any
maintenance is performed.
A. Cleaning Plastic Domes.
Ordinary cleaning of the plastic domes can be
accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag. Should fine
scratches or a haze appear on the domes, they can ordi-
narily be removed with a non-abrasive high quality,
automotive paste wax.
