5.2 Alley Lights –‘Permanent on’ or ‘Flash’
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode by connecting Red +ve Black -ve
b) Apply the Alley Left & Alley Right input wires to +ve permanently
c) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
d) The Alley Lights will now flash inan alternating pattern
e) To Revert to ‘Permanent on’ apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
f) If wanting to use more than ‘alley light’ for illumination, simply Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve
permanently
g) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
h) Release the grey wire
Note: Changing Alley Lights to ‘Flash’ will not affect the pattern of the lightbar when it is not selected
6.0 CAP168 / ICAO / CAA / ACAA (whilst in 360/1, 360/2, Cruise Mode, Rotate patterns) - (61fpm)
This function is built-in to the Cruise and Rotate flash patterns as standard. If you require it on another wire, setting Dil Switch 2
to ‘ON’ gives the addition of CAP168 pattern (Airport Mode) to the 360/1, 360/2 flash pattern options –in all 4 different flash
modes ( left-right, all-on, mix, in-out ). In addition, the colour can be individually set to each output (refer to 9.0 Setting the
Colour)
6.1 360/1 & 360/2 Outputs
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode, set Dil Switch 2 to ‘ON’
b) Apply the input wire programmed as ‘360/2’ to +ve permanently
c) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily until CAP168 is enabled
6.2 Cruise Mode
a) Apply the input wire programmed as ‘Cruise Mode’ to +ve permanently
b) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily until CAP168 is enabled
6.3 Rotate
a) Apply the input wire programmed as ‘Rotate’ to +ve permanently
b) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily until CAP168 is enabled
7.0 Setting Dim Mode
There are two modes available with the Lightbar; 25% brightness and 50% of full brightness (default) . Dim does not apply to
Stop/Tail/Indicator, Alley Lights, Worklamps or Front Floods.
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the green (360/1) wire to +ve permanently
c) Apply the blue (Dim) wire to +ve permanently
d) Dim is now enabled at 50% of full brightness on all inputs
To decrease to 25% of full brightness: -
a) Apply the green (360/1) wire to +ve permanently

M003 Issue: 1.6 Created by: Technical Dept. 7 January 2024
b) Apply the blue (Dim) wire to +ve permanently
c) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently
d) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
e) Lamps will reduce in brightness
f) Release the grey wire
g) To revert back to default setting simply repeat the process
Note 25% Dim mode does not meet the requirements of the R65 candela (brightness) specification
8.0 ECE R65 Monitor Output
The monitor output activates when the Lightbar is flashing with R65 compliance. Detected faults, such as loss of
communication to the board, will prevent the signal from activating. Any detected fault will cause the LED to flash.
The minimum requirement for R65 compliance is activation of the end ‘angled’ modules in the Lightbar, on full brightness. The
monitoring output will therefore activate when these lamps are performing correctly. If other lamps fail for any reason, the
monitor output will still activate. This is not a ‘full Lightbar monitor’.
The monitor output wire (white) can be connected to an external LED signal, buzzer or computer to monitor ECE R65
compliance. This is a positive output that will drive up to 500mA at nominal voltage supply. Please do not put a heavy load to
this wire connection. When there is non-compliance to the standard, the signal will deactivate.
9.0 Setting the Colour
This is not applicable to any lightbars built as ‘single colour’ only.
Setting Dil Switch 1 (located on the main internal motherboard) to ‘ON’ restricts the colour selection to 3 full output colours only (i.e.
whichever LED is mounted within lighthead). This will normally be set at the factory on all Single and Dual colour models.
On Dual and Multi-Colour Lightbars, a colour can be set to each function as required by the user:
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the required input wire ( 360/1 or F1-F 9) to +ve permanently
c) Apply the white/pink (Colour select) wire to +ve momentarily until desired colour is set
d) To return to the first colour, apply the white/pink to +ve permanently for three (3) seconds

10.0 Programming the Lightbar
10.1 Setting an Input Function
Nine inputs (F1-F9) can each be programmed to perform 23 optional functions
a) Connect all the input wires to the LBAR Main Controller ( refer to section 4.0 )
b) Ensure that the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode by connecting Red +ve Black -ve
c) Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently

M003 Issue: 1.6 Created by: Technical Dept. 8 January 2024
d) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve permanently for 5 seconds, diagnostic LED will display 4 short
flashes –do not proceed to next stage without this ‘pause’
e) Apply the required input wire individually ( F1-F9 ) to +ve permanently
f) Apply the grey wire (Config) momentarily to +ve to cycle through to the required function. Diagnostic LED
will flash to confirm the function has been selected (refer to Appendix 2)
g) Release the brown and yellow wire
h) The F1-F9 input is now programmed to the desired function
i) Simply repeat the process until all the F1-F9 inputs have been programmed

M003 Issue: 1.6 Created by: Technical Dept. 9 January 2024
11.0 Traffic Director
By default, the three main Traffic Director (TDIR) inputs are setup to operate on the Rear Only. However, the inputs can also be
programmed to operate as Front Only, Front & Rear or Front & Rear opposite. Additionally, the colour can be set individually to
each input (refer to 9.0 Setting the Colour) You can also setup the length of the TDIR and select optional ‘chase’ mode (whereby
lightheads stay lit when they have been activated).
11.1 Traffic Director Rear Only (Default input wires)
Orange (F1) = TDIR Left Pink (F3) = TDIR Centre Out Purple (F2) = TDIR Right
11.2 Changing Traffic Director Operation (Rear, Front, Front & Rear,Front & Rear Opposite)
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently
c) Apply the orange (TDIR Left) wire to +ve permanently
d) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently
e) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily until the required operation is set
f) Release the grey and yellow wires
11.3 Warning Lamp Mode
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the orange & purple wires to +ve permanently
If more than one TDIR function is selected the Lightbar will resort to a programmable ‘Warning’ flash as a safety
measure. Pattern setting is shared with the Flexi-Flash function (see 12.12 Flexi-Flash), therefore changing one will
affect the other. Colour can be set to either function as required (See 9.0 Setting the Colour)
11.4 Setting Traffic Director Length
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently
c) Apply the purple (TDIR Right) wire to +ve permanently
d) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently
e) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily until the required length is set
f) Release the grey and yellow wires
11.5 Enable ‘Chase’ Mode
a) Ensure the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode
b) Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently
c) Apply the pink (TDIR Centre Out) wire to +ve permanently
d) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently
e) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
f) Release the grey and yellow wires
g) ‘Chase’ mode is now enabled on ALL Traffic Director operations
h) Repeat the process to revert back
