(Config) wire to +ve permanently
a) Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily
b) 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

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
b) Apply the blue (Dim) wire to +ve permanently
c) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently

M003 Issue: 1.5 Created by: Technical Dept. 6 February 2020
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 upto 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-F9) 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

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

M003 Issue: 1.5 Created by: Technical Dept. 9 February 2020
12.0 Additional Programmable Inputs
These are functions that may be set to any of the inputs (F1-F9). The user can assign the function if it
has not been set in the factory, however this will mean replacing an already programmed input if
there are no spare function wires available. Pattern and Colour (Dual and Multi-Colour only) are
selectable
12.1 Front/Rear Split - Setting mode –allows separate control of the front OR rear of the
lightbar individually on 2 separate feature wires
a) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 7 for Front mode
b) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 8 for Rear mode
12.2 ‘Cruise’ Mode - Both ends of Lightbar glow on ‘steady burn low power’
a) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 9
Note: CAP168 (Airport Mode) is incorporated into Cruise & Roto flash patterns. Applying
the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve will enable CAP168 (see 6.0)
12.3 Front Flood Flash (Takedown lamps) –Selected Front Modules flash (normally white lamps)
a) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 10
b) To ‘alternate’ the flash mode against 360/1, 360/2, flexi-flash or other mode (if not
restricted) –simple apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve for five (5)
seconds –this will alternate the flash pattern against the main function. To revert
–repeat operation.
12.4 Front Floods - Set selected modules to permanent on
a) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 11
12.5 Stop lamp - Factory fitted but can be installed as an upgrade (see 13.0 Lightbar Upgrades) –only
available to set up on the ‘rear’ of the lightbar (feature unavailable at front)
You must utilise 2 x BL.ADSTI for this function to work –setting this feature on a standard lightbar
lamp will void warranty
a) Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 15 for Stop lamp
b) The lamps at the rear should light up REAR CENTRE module
c) Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently
d) Apply the grey (Config) wire to +ve permanently
e) Apply the brown wire to +ve momentarily until the required module sections are lit –
you can cycle through various lamp positions at this stage –with a maximum length of 1
full module –the modules split into half to allow for STI setup using BL.ADSTI, each time
it will return to the centre to allow you to select the correct position
f) Once setup in the correct position: Release the grey and yellow wires
