Wiring the 4800 OSC...
The following tables are designed to provide the installation technician with information necessary for a suc-
cessful installation. Tables 1 and 2 represent mandatory connections that must be performed in order for the
4800 OSC to function properly. Tables 3, 4 and 5 provide the wiring connections for lightbars equipped with
any of the options listed in these tables. If any of these options are not present, the appropriate wires should be
capped to prevent any accidental wire grounding. Table 6, as described later, indicates the wire connections
necessary for any 4800 OSC lightbars equipped with “4800ROTA” option. Please read the note located above
Table 6, as this serves to clarify the wiring procedure specific to this particular option. Table 7 indicates the
necessary connections if your lightbar is configured with either the “RLC2” or “RLC2W” option. IMPORTANT:
The outer surfaces of this product may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Use of any other chemicals may
