WARNING: The Strobe Light Power Supply is a high voltage device. Do not
touch or remove tube assembly in strobe light head assemblies while in
operation. Wait 10 minutes after disconnecting the unit from its power source
before starting work or troubleshooting on power supply or system.
Mounting your WPPSC694...
Caution: As it will be necessary to drill holes into the mounting surface, the
installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could
be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface
before drilling begins!
1. Position the WPPSC694 in its proposed mountin
g
location to ensure that it fits
properl
y
. With the WPPSC694 in place, insert an awl or other suitable tool into the
mountin
g
screw area of the power suppl
y
and scribe the areas that are to be
drilled.
2. Remove the WPPSC694 from its mountin
g
area and, usin
g
an appropriatel
y
sized
drill bit, drill a hole in each of the areas scribed in the previous step.
3. Return the WPPSC694 to its mountin
g
location and usin
g
appropriatel
y
sized
hardware, secure the WPPSC694 to its mountin
g
surface.
Wiring your WPPSC694...
1. Locate the 8 position Input Harness Plug and connect as indicated in Fi
g
. 1.
Extend the BLACK and RED wires from the Input Harness Plug towards the
batter
y
.
2. Connect the RED wire to a fuse block (customer supplied) and then to the
POSITIVE terminal on the batter
y
.
NOTE! Although a 7.5 amp fuse (customer supplied) is required to be used in
the fuse block, do not install the fuse until
all
of the wire connections are
completed.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to the factor
y
chassis
g
round
ad
j
acent to the batter
y
.
Important!!!
The Deutsch water-proof connector will not function properly unless it is
connected exactly as the manufacturer intended. A Deutsch crimping tool
(Whelen p/n 66T0516435119C) is required for proper terminal crimping and
should be used whenever possible. Whelen Engineering does not recognize
the use of a non-Deutsch crimping tool, therefore any resulting damage would
void the warranty.
Assembly...
1. Locate the 3-conductor cable (customer supplied) that will be used to connect
Lamps L1 & L2 to Plu
g
#1 of the WPPSC694.
2. Crimp the “pin”-st
y
le wire terminals (included) onto the power suppl
y
end of the
wires.
3. Usin
g
the Plu
g
#1 table as a wirin
g
g
uide, insert the terminals into one of the
receptacles (included). Note: The wire colors shown connected to the receptacles
(in the wirin
g
dia
g
ram), represent the Whelen color codes for their strobe lamps.
Make sure to use the wire
function as a
g
uide to proper terminal location.
4. Hold the receptacle so that the rear
g
rommet is facin
g
y
ou.
5. Push the pin strai
g
ht into the
g
rommet until a “click” is felt. A
g
entle tu
g
will
confirm that it is properl
y
locked into place.
6. Once all the pins are installed, insert the oran
g
e wed
g
e into the receptacle.
7. Repeat the above procedure for plu
g
s #2 and #3.
NOTE:
Although the above text outlines the procedure for assembling the strobe
plug receptacles, the same procedure is used for the Input Control plug. The plug
section utilizes a faceplate instead of a wedge. It can be removed with a small screw-
driver.
8. Locate the 7 conductor cable (customer supplied) that will be used to connect the
WPPSC694 to its control switches and to a power source (vehicle batter
y
).
9. Crimp the “socket”-st
y
le wire terminals (included) onto the power suppl
y
end of
the wires.
10.Usin
g
the input control table as a
g
uide, insert the terminals into the Input Control
Plu
g
(included). Note: The wire colors shown connected to the Input Control Plu
g
(in the wirin
g
dia
g
ram), represent the Whelen colors & functions found in the input
control harness. Make sure to use the wire
function as a
g
uide to proper terminal
location and wire connection.

Switch Operation Table
The WPPSC694 has been designed
to enable Lo power operation in two
different ways:
1) Latched mode - Applying 25.6VDC to
the VIOLET wire (
via
user supplied
switch) for less than 1 second places
the WPPSC694 into Lo power mode
until the unit is turned off.
2) Momentary mode - Applying 25.6VDC
to the VIOLET wire (
via
user supplied
switch) for more than 1 second
places the WPPSC694 into Lo power
mode until the voltage to this wire is
removed.
