In addition, listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions
you should follow:
Before Installation or Service
Qualications
• To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good understanding of
automotive mechanical and electrical procedures and systems along with prociency in the
installation and service of safety warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle service
manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
Light Hazards
• To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be hazardous
to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting
product at a close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
• Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair, or blind the driver’s
vision. Ensure that the light system is mounted in a position that is outside of the driver’s
eld of vision, so the driver can safely operate the vehicle.
• Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed to work together as a system.
Combining light heads and a power supply from different manufacturers may reduce the
warning effectiveness of the lighting system and may damage the components. You should
verify or test your combination to ensure the system works together and meets federal,
state, and local standards or guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
• Strobe systems present a shock hazard because they use high voltage to operate. Do not
handle strobe cables, the power supply, or bulbs or remove the lens while the equipment
is connected. Strobe systems can also hold their charge even after they have been turned

6Chapter 1: Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel
off. After disconnecting power to the unit, wait ve minutes before handling any parts of the
strobe system.
• A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly, a
separate negative (–) connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All negative
connections should be connected to the negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse
should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery
as possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device and
system amperage requirements.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the vehicle wiring without
reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that
your installation will not affect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits.
Always check the vehicle for proper operation after installation.
• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the outer
housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to disconnect power to the system and allow the
system to cool down before handling any components of the system.
• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can burst and result in
ying glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling these components.
• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the lighting system. Placing
the antenna too close to the lighting system could cause the lighting system to malfunction
or be damaged by strong radio elds. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system
may also cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere with the
reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.
• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is connected to its power
source.
During Installation and Service
• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product can cause the

unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings present in or near
the unit.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are
made, mounting of all components is complete, and you have veried that no shorts exist.
If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame, high current conductors can cause
hazardous sparks resulting in electrical res or ying molten metal.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the deployment path of an
airbag.
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to be sure that the component you are
installing is suitable for use in that area of the vehicle. Many components are not suitable
for use in the engine compartment or other extreme environmental exposure areas.
• Service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the glass portion is touched
during installation. Use gloves when handling these components. If the glass portion has
been touched, clean the glass carefully with isopropyl alcohol.

7
Chapter 1: Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of
anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs from drilled holes. To prevent electrical
shorts, grommet all drilled holes through which wiring passes. Also, ensure that the
mounting screws do not cause electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.
• Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper electrical connections,
additional precautions, and information.
• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle with
a magnetically mounted warning light installed. The light could y off the vehicle causing
injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this warning shall be the
sole responsibility of the user.
• To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the lightbar mounting feet as close to the
outer edge of the roof as possible.
• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten
adjustment bolts 6 to 7 ft-lb to prevent the JLX lightbar from sliding front-to-back when
pulling on the mounting bracket. Install keeper plates.
• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely
under all driving conditions.
After Installation or Service
• After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle
light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the
vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.
• Scratched or dull reectors, mirrors, or domes will reduce the effectiveness of the
lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or petroleum based products
when cleaning the lighting system. Replace any optical components that may have been
scratched or crazed during system installation.
• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a hazardous
situation.
• You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and
that it is securely attached to the vehicle.
• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to

Chapter 3: Installing the JLX JetSolariS
The lightbar is completely wired at the factory and does not require any additional internal
wiring. All the conductors necessary to control the lightbar’s functions are contained in the cable.
Installation of options requires additional wiring to the warning light system and vehicle battery.
An installer-supplied switch or relay rated at 30 A is required for the connection between the JLX
red power lead and the fused power source. If additional wire length is needed, splice wire of
the same gauge or heavier to the leads
Connecting the Power Leads for the Standard JLX
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, damage the
airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury to you or others.
1. Route the control cable into the vehicle and under the dash, near the eventual location of
the installer-supplied control head. Apply sealant to all drilled holes.
2. For proper lightbar operation, the control cable must be properly terminated inside the install-
er-supplied control head. The current capacities of the switch for the control head should be
at least 15 A. See Table 3.1 on page 14 for the wire colors and functions.
PROPER GROUNDING
The lightbar WILL NOT light up or ash if it is improperly grounded. Be sure that
the lightbar is connected to a good vehicle ground.
Failure to observe this warning can lead to equipment failure and may result in
serious injury or death to you or others.
3. Connect the black 10 AWG ground lead to a good battery or chassis ground.

wiring, and the connectors in the circuit.
Failure to follow this notice could result in vehicle or equipment damage.
4. Connect the red 10 AWG power lead from the lightbar to an installer-supplied switch or re-
lay rated at 30 A.
5. Connect the other side of the fuse/circuit breaker to the +12 Vdc supply.
NOTE: The driver and passenger sides of the lightbar are individually and internally fused
with a 15 A fuse located on the lightbar control board at F3 and F4. See "Replacing a Fuse"
on page 31.
Control Wires For the Standard JLX Lightbar
All of the lightbar controls are integrated in the ROC PC board. Lightbars are manufactured with
an 11-conductor control cable. See Table 3.1 on page 14 for the functions of the control wires.
You can activate any of the lightbar functions by applying 12 Vdc to the wire that controls the
function.

14 Chapter 3: Installing the JLX JetSolaris
Table 3.1: 11-conductor cable wires (12 AWG) (Standard JLX)
Wire Color Function
Red* PRIMARY MODE: +12 Vdc: Activates the lightbar in Primary Mode. For a
description of Primary Mode, see “Selecting Flash Patterns for Primary and
Secondary Mode” on page 15.
Black GND (–): Connects to a good battery/chassis ground.
Gray Takedown, trafc clearing light, worklight, or SignalMaster left directional lights.
Green Front light cutoff, rear light cutoff, driver-side stop/turn/tail lights, steady burn,
or SignalMaster center out directional lights.
Blue* SECONDARY MODE: Applying +12 Vdc changes the pattern of the lightbar to
the pattern selected for Secondary Mode. Only active if the lightbar is normally
ashing in Primary Mode. For a description of Secondary Mode, see “Selecting
Flash Patterns for Primary and Secondary Mode” on page 15.
Orange PROGRAM for Primary Mode: Applying GND (–) advances the ash pattern to
the next pattern in the library and stores it in memory. For a description of the
ash patterns, see Table 3.2 on page 18.
Yellow WHITE LIGHT CUTOFF: Used only in lightbars that have white light in the front
three positions. White lights ash with the rest of the lightbar when +12 Vdc is
applied to the yellow wire. White lights are cut off when disconnected or power
is removed. See “Wiring the Controls for White Light and Front/Rear Cutoff” in
the next section. If the wire is not used for white light cutoff, other options are
takedown lights, trafc clearing lights, or worklights.
Brown Driver-side brake, turn, or alley lights.
Brown/White Passenger-side brake, turn, alley light, or passenger-side trafc clearing light.
Black/White Dim mode in Mode 2 only. Tail lights, takedown lights, trafc clearing lights, or
worklights. See “Operating in Dim Mode on page 19.
Red/White SignalMaster right directional lights, passenger-side stop/turn/tail lights, or
both alleys simultaneously.
*The red and blue wires also serve as programming wires for Secondary Mode. See
"Programming Secondary Mode" on page 16.
** The wire color for a function (with the exceptions of the red, blue, and orange wires) may
vary depending on the congured options in the lightbar.
Wiring the Controls for White Light and Front/Rear Cutoff
The standard lightbar can be congured when ordered from the factory with options that turn
off white lights or turn off the front or rear of the lightbar. The options are controlled by applying
and removing power to the control wire of the function in the lightbar’s cable.
White Light Cutoff
The option to cut off the standard lightbar’s white lights is set at the factory with dip
switches on the lightbar's control board. The cable’s yellow wire controls White Light Cutoff.
When +12 Vdc is applied to the wire, the white lights ash in the same ash pattern as the
rest of the lightbar. When +12 Vdc is removed from the wire, the white lights turn off. If
white light cutoff is not needed, fold and insulate the wire.

15
Chapter 3: Installing the JLX JetSolaris
Front or Rear Light Cutoff
The lightbar may be equipped to shut off the front of the lightbar or the rear of the lightbar,
while the rest of the lightbar is still ashing. The option is controlled by the green wire in the
lightbar control cable. When +12 Vdc is applied to the wire, the lights ash. When +12 Vdc
is removed from the wire, the lights shut off. If front or rear light cutoff is not needed, fold
and insulate the wire.
Selecting Flash Patterns for Primary and Secondary Mode
Although the standard JetSolaris is shipped with preselected ash patterns for Primary and
Secondary Mode, you can select new patterns from the lightbar internal library of 40 ash
patterns. A pattern displayed in Primary Mode is typically more active than the pattern displayed
in Secondary Mode. It indicates the primary purpose of the vehicle; for example, the vehicle is
on its way to the scene of an emergency or is towing a car. A pattern displayed in Secondary
Mode is a more relaxed pattern, indicating that the vehicle is returning from the scene.
The default pattern in Primary Mode is Pattern 1, Alternating Quad Flash 76 QFPM. In Secondary
Mode, it is Pattern 2, Overlapping Penta Flash 87 FPM. Table 3.2 on page 18 lists the ash
patterns in the lightbar pattern library. We recommended that you select ash patterns for both
Primary and Secondary Mode during the installation of the lightbar. There are two methods of
selecting a ash pattern for Primary and Secondary Mode. One method enables you to directly
apply ground or 12 Vdc power to wires in the lightbar control cable. This method is best suited
for a lightbar not yet connected to a control head. The other method enables you to press a
mode button on the control head and select a pattern using a programming button inside the
lightbar. The two methods are described in the next sections: programming via a control wire or
the S1 pushbutton. For descriptions of the control wires, see Table 3.1 on page 14.
NOTE: To return to the default ash pattern while programming Primary or Secondary Mode
using the control wire method, apply GND (–) to the orange wire for 5 seconds.
Programming Primary Mode
To select a ash pattern for Primary Mode.
1. Apply +12 Vdc to the Primary (red) wire in the lightbar cable.
2. Apply GND (–) to the orange wire in the lightbar cable.
LIGHT HAZARDS
To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can
be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare

Operating in Dim Mode
Dim Mode, which dims the ashing lights, is available in Mode 2.
To enable Dim Mode:
1. To enter Mode 2, apply +12 Vdc to both the Primary (red) and Secondary (blue) Mode
wires.
2. Apply +12 Vdc to the Dim Mode wire (black/white). All of the ashing lights are now ash-
ing at a lower intensity.
The lights will continue to ash in Dim Mode only if the lightbar is operating in Secondary Mode
and the Dim wire has +12 Vdc applied to it. If the Secondary Mode (blue) wire is disconnected,
the lightbar will go back to Primary Mode in which dimming not allowed. If the Dim wire (black/
white) wire is disconnected, the lightbar will ash without dimming.
