Installation:
Place the light assemblies in the outside crevice of the outermost reinforcement brace in the
positions shown. Make sure the lighthead cable is positioned in the cable notch and that the
housing is in full contact with the plow.
With the housings in place, use an awl (or similar tool) to scribe the mounting hole locations
(2 per housing) onto the mounting surface. Remove the housings and with a 9/32” drill bit,
drill the required mounting holes through the mounting surface. Return the housings to their
mounting locations and secure using the hardware provided. NOTE: Be sure to insert the
mounting bolt though the mounting hole from the front of the plow.
Route the lighthead cables, chosing a manner and path to prevent damage by and
interference from any existing equipment. See table at right for wiring information:

CAUTION! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THESE LED’S WHILE THEY ARE ON.
MOMENTARY BLINDNESS AND/OR EYE DAMAGE COULD RESULT!
IMPORTANT WARNING!
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the
positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least
125% of the maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery
to carry that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS
PRODUCT!
Operation -
Scan-Lock™ - TIR3™ lightheads have a special set of flash patterns,
with each pattern available in two modes; Phase 1 and Phase 2. The
patterns are changed with the WHT wire.
To advance to the next pattern, apply +12VDC to the WHT wire for less
than 1 second. To cycle backwards to previous patterns, apply +12VDC
for more than 1 second.
To reset to the factory default pattern, begin by turning off power to the
lighthead. While applying +12VDC to the WHT wire, turn the lighthead
back on. Continue to apply voltage to the WHT wire for 5 seconds.
All lightheads configured to display the Phase 1 mode of a given pattern
will flash simultaneously. Any lightheads configured to display the
Phase 2 mode of a pattern, will alternate with any Phase 1 lightheads
with the same pattern.
Sync - To sync two lightheads, configure both lightheads to display the
same Phase 1 pattern. With the power off, connect the BLUE wires
from each lighthead together. When the lightheads are activated, their
patterns will be synchronized. To configure the two lightheads to
alternate their patterns, advance the pattern of either lighthead to the
Phase 2 mode of the current pattern.
To understand how to use the SYNC feature with more than 2
lightheads, the principles will be applied to a sample system consisting
of 4 lightheads. 2 are mounted on the rear, driver side of the vehicle and
2 mounted on the rear, passenger side of the vehicle.
With all the wiring complete, turn on the 4 lightheads. As shipped from
the factory, all the lightheads will simultaneously display the same
pattern (SignalAlert™ 75 Phase 1).
EXAMPLE: To configure the passenger side lightheads to alternate
with the driver side lightheads, change the flash patterns for either the
passenger or driver side to Phase 2 mode of the same pattern.
