7x3 QuasarBlaze®
Installation & Operation Manual
www.rontan.com Rev. 1.1 Page 1
The 7x3 QuasarBlaze® lights are indicated to be used for perimeter lighting. Their 8
high power LEDs form a high efficiency optical set, suitable for installations on service vehicles
like ambulances, fire trucks, rescue and others.
The 7x3 QuasarBlaze® case is injected with high-strength polycarbonate. The hardware
assembly is made out of several parts. The electronic circuits and the LEDs are assembled on
a single board on the back of an internal transparent lens. This set fits into a polycarbonate
bezel and is attached to the vehicle´s surface with a rubber gasket, as on figure 1.
The external lens can be supplied either clear or with the same LED color (red, blue,
green, amber and white). The LED assembly can also be either single or dual color. The
external lens is always clear if two different LED colors are assembled.
The light activations can be done in some different ways. Figures 2 and 3 show how to
use the steady lighted connections and figure 4 through the selection of a flash pattern. See
the further explanations on this manual.

Connections of the figures 2 and 3 show how to activate the steady lighting.

Figure 4 shows how to connect the 7x3 QuasarBlaze® with one selected flash pattern.
To select it, keep the Red and Blue wires connected to +12VDC and the Black to the GND,
then connect +12VDC to the White wire for about 1 second and then release it. To select the

next one, proceed the same manner, and for the previous pattern, connect +12VDC to the
same White wire for 3 seconds, until the LEDs start flashing rapidly, and then release the wire.
To return to the first flash pattern, connect the White wire to +12VDC for 6 seconds.
After this, the LEDs will start flashing rapidly for 3 seconds more. Wait until they turn off, and
then, release the White wire.
Note that on the connections of figures 4 and 5, the Green wires are still available for
the steady lighting, having always priority over all flash patterns activated by the Blue wires.
4. Synchronization
In order to synchonize two of the 7x3 QuasarBlaze®® lights, firstly select the flash
pattern for each of the lights individually, and then connect their White wires together, to
activate this function. Figure 5 shows how to connect them in synchronized mode. Note that
the Red, Black and Blue wires also have to be connected as shown on the figure.
5. Flash Patterns
The list of the available flash patterns has the time duration of each of the figures right
above it, written in milliseconds (mS), denoting each moment it turns on and off, according to
the sequence of the selected pattern. The flashing sequence starts at left and goes through to
the right, and then, restarts from the leftmost again.
