ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION (applies to permanent mounting options only)
Power Wires:
1. Route customer supplied power and ground cables which are properly sized for the current consumption of the beacon (rated for a minimum of 125% above maximum current draw) between
the power source (battery) and the beacon power and ground cables.
2. Install a maximum of 20Amp Fuse (customer supplied) to the end of the power cables as close to the power source (battery) as possible.
a. Remove the fuse before connecting any wires to the battery.
b. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.
3. Connect the other end of the Fuse to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery.
a. Do NOT use any more than 2ft of wire between the battery terminal and the fuse and ensure the wire is protected and secured from being cut into; this is non-fused wire.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground right next to the battery and the the ground cables of the beacon.
Control Wires (Blue, Orange, Yellow & Pink):
1. Route customer supplied wires between switch panel and the Blue, Orange, Yellow, and/or Pink wires. Use 20AWG type TXL wire as required to extend the length of the wires to reach the
customer supplied switches.
2. The +Vdc supply to the control wires must be over-current protected to protect the wires and product against the possibility of a short circuit. A 1 amp fuse will be sufficient since the control
wire inputs require less than 10mA per input to activate.
Synch Wire (Green):
1. Connect the green wire to other Sync2 compatible products (nFORCE Secondary Light, nFORCE FIT & Dual Color Intersector Lights) which are on the vehicle and need to synchronize the flash
pattern. All product with the green wires connected must be operating
the same flash pattern otherwise incorrect flash pattern timing will occur.
2. If synchronized flash patterns to other product are not required, blunt cut and tape the end of the green wire to ensure the wire is protected from being unintentionally grounded while in service.
Pattern Select/Configuration Wire (White):
1. Applying a momentary ground on the white wire will configure the product. Refer to the production configuration section of the installation instructions for setup.
2. Once product is configured, blunt cut and tape the end of the white wire to ensure the wire is protected from being unintentionally grounded while in service and changing the configuration.
WARNING
!
ALL CUSTOMER SUPPLIED POWER WIRES CONNECTING TO THE POSITIVE (+) OR NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY
TERMINAL OR LOCAL CHASIS GROUND (-) MUST BE SIZED TO SUPPLY AT LEAST 125% OF THE MAxIMUM
CURRENT AND PROPERLY FUSED AT THE POWER SOURCE WITH APPROPIATELY RATED FUSE.
