WARNING!
!
Before attempting to connect wiring refer to wire tag attached to the lightbar's main cable. Each wire in the cable controls
a separate lightbar function as described in the wire tag.
The only significant difference between the CODE360® with optional ArrowStik® and a conventional CODE360, is the
additional, thinner cable exiting the bottom of the lightbar. The larger cable is the lightbar power cable. Route the wiring
cable into the engine or passenger compartment, taking care to use grommets and to apply sealant around openings to
keep water out. It is advisable to leave an extra loop of cable when installing the light bar to allow for future changes
or reinstallations. Connect the black lead to a solid frame ground(earth), preferably, the(-) or ground(earth) side of the
battery and bring the other wires to the control head or switches. Connect the wires as directed by the wiring
instructions on the cable.
