X-PATTERN - To obtain X-Patterns, follow the ID SELECTION steps and set one of the four
PREDATOR lights to ID#1, one to ID#2, one to ID#3, and one to ID#4. Then proceed to the
PATTERN SELECTION steps. NOTE: Be sure to mount each PREDATOR in the correct
placement based on ID#.
PATTERN SELECTION
1. Disconnect WHITE wire from any connections if applicable.
2. Turn PREDATOR ON.
3. Momentarily touching and removing the WHITE wire(s) to ground
will advance the PREDATOR to the next flash pattern. Touching and
removing the White wire for more than a few seconds will allow you to change the
PREDATOR to the previous pattern. See flash pattern table. Continuing to touch and remove
the WHITE wire(s) to ground will allow you to scroll through the pattern list. After pattern #33
is reached the list will start over again at pattern #1.
NOTE: The PREDATOR is equipped with flash pattern memory. Once you have selected a
pattern the PREDATOR will always activate to that pattern every time the unit is turned on.
Tape up and secure WHITE wire so that it will not accidentally change your selected pattern.
PATTERN RESET
1. Remove Power.
2. Place WHITE (sync) wire to ground.
3. With sync wire grounded, re-power RED wire.
4. Maintain for one second (light will dim).
5. Remove power and ground (pattern 1 set)
SLAVE MODE
The PREDATOR is capable of being activated through the use of a user supplied flasher by
putting it in slave mode.
1. Permanently connect the PREDATOR WHITE and BLACK wire to a good, convenient
ground.
2. Connect the PREDATOR RED wire, through a 5Amp fuse, to the output of a +10-30Vdc
switching flasher.
NOTE: The PREDATOR is a factory sealed unit that CANNOT be serviced in the field. Any
attempt to gain access to the PREDATOR unit will most likely cause permanent damage and
void its warranty.
