Ecco 21 series User manual

IMPORTANT! Read all instructions before installing and using. Installer: This manual must be

delivered to the end user. This manual assumes installation by a suitably qualied Automotive Technician.

ECCO 21 Series Lightbars are versatile and powerful warning devices that offer numerous lighting module and length options. The 21

Series is suitable for many vehicle applications and features a durable aluminum chassis, polycarbonate lenses and a sleek, low prole

design. These lightbars can either be mounted permanently to the vehicle or using an optional, semi-permanent roof mounting kit. There

are two types of 21 Series lightbar - IF (independent ashing) and CC (centrally controlled). IF (Independent Flashing) indicates the

lightbars modules have individual electronic circuits that control their operation, each module, a group or a pair of modules can be controlled

independently. CC (Centrally Controlled) indicates the lightbar’s modules are controlled by a centralized electronic driver board which

provides simpler and greater programming exibility of all lightbar functionality.

Unpacking and Pre-Installation:

Carefully remove the lightbar and place it on a at surface. Examine the unit for transit damage and locate all parts. If damage is found or

parts are missing, contact the transit company or ECCO. Do not use damaged or broken parts.

Ensure the lightbar voltage is compatible with the planned installation.

Notes:

1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended

that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement

connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).

2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce

voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will signicantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and

circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected

from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and

protect all wiring.

3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring

and devices.

4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from

corrosion and loss of conductivity.

5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.

6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to

their capacity.

Important!

This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation should any

other electrical accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other accessory.

Wiring Instructions:

Caution:

Disconnect the battery before wiring up the lightbar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/or electrical shock.

1. Loosen the 5/16” nuts to allow the mounting feet to slide along the base of the lightbar. Loosely attach the mounting strap to each foot

using the supplied pan head phillips screws and lock washers.

2. Center the lightbar across the vehicle and align the strap mount brackets to hook into the gutter of the vehicles door frame as shown in

FIGURE 6.

3. Secure the feet to the lightbar in location by tightening the four nuts on each foot.

4. Slowly tighten the pan head screws to secure the strap mount brackets to the lightbar feet and around the door gutters, keeping the

lightbar centered and level. Ensure the doors close completely and secure each strap mount bracket to the door frame. Mounting

geometry and parts will vary for different vehicles. See the Wiring section of this manual for further wiring instructions.

IF Series Wiring

An IF series lightbar has a dedicated ground wire and one or more +power wires routed to the modules. The black ground wire should be

connected directly to the battery. The amp ratings for each module type are detailed in the specications section of this installation guide.

Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the conguration specic wiring key included with the lightbar for the func-

tions of each wire. Use an appropriate high-temperature wiring if it passes through the engine compartment. Use cable ties and grommets to

secure and protect all cables and wires.

The ash pattern on corner and directional modules can be cycled to the next ash pattern on each individual module by momentarily short-

ing together the JP1 pins with a wire or the blade of a screwdriver (shown below). The light head will reset to the default ash pattern when

the JP1 pins are shorted together for 5 seconds or more and then releasing. Module pairs connected by a sync wire must be individually set

to the same ash pattern to properly synchronize.

CC Series Wiring

A CC series lightbar has a 2-wire power cable and a 16-wire control cable. The entire power load of the bar goes through the power cable.

The black ground wire should be connected directly to the battery. The 10 AWG red power wire requires a constant 10 to 16V power source

with a customer supplied in line fuse. To select an appropriately rated ATO (regular) or Maxi Fuse, add the amp ratings, found in the speci-

cations section, of the modules in your conguration specic lightbar and based on that sum, insert a fuse of the next larger size (to be no

larger than a 30 A fuse). The 16 control cable wires carry only low power (30 mA average) input signals to control the lightbar functions and

must be routed to the output of a control switch (or directly to multiple switches).

Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the conguration specic wiring key included with the lightbar for the con-

guration specic functions of each wire. Use an appropriate high-temperature wiring if it passes through the engine compartment. Use cable

ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.

Note:

-When the Arrowstik Left and Arrowstik Right wires are both connected to +power, the Center-Out Arrowstik function is activated.

-The Front Cut and Rear Cut functions must be used with the greatest care to ensure that the use of these functions do not diminish

the effectiveness of the Emergency Warning signal.

-When the Pattern Select wire is connected to +power alone, test mode is enabled to exercise all outputs in sequence.

-The Dim Function lowers the brightness of the LEDs in both the ArrowStik mode and Emergency Warning Flash modes.

-The WHT Drivers Side Cut wire may be changed to Arrowstik Flash. Please see the Arrowstik ash pattern selection section below

for details.

-Lightbars equipped with a DOT strip assembly are wired in conjunction with the STT tail light function. All STT functions are

powered independent of the central driver PCA.
