Installation and Mounting
Unpacking and Pre-installation Inspection
Carefully remove the light bar and place it on a flat surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage the cable com-
ing out of the bottom. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken light heads, etc. Report any damage to the carrier and
keep the shipping carton.
Standard light bars are built to operate on 12volt and 24volt D.C. negative ground (earth) vehicles. If you have an electrical
system other than 12volt or 24volt D.C. negative ground (earth), and have not ordered a specially wired light bar, contact the
factory for instructions.
Test the unit before installation. To test, connect the Junction Box to the lightbar per the Network Junction Box Instruc-
tions section of this manual and touch the black wire to the ground (earth) and the red wire to +12volt or +24volt D.C. (an
automotive battery is preferable for this test). Then touch each of the control wires to power and check for proper operation.
If problems occur at this point, please contact the factory.
Mounting the Lightbar
All mounting hardware is packed in a small box or bag inside the main carton. Four standard kits are available: (1) Hook-On
Type, (1) Tow and Recovery and (2) Permanent Types. NOTE: Hook-on mounting for "gutterless" type vehicles will require a
special hook for mounting. Several special application hooks are available. Contact the factory for details. Refer to the instruc-
tions included with the mounting kit for installation.
CAUTION!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure the area is free from any electrical wires, fuel
lines, vehicle upholstery, etc. that could be damaged.
Quick Lightbar Removal
The Pursuit lightbar has been designed with a unique cable access hole enabling the lightbar to be removed without unin-
stalling the lightbar cable.
1. Remove power to the lightbar/junction box. Failure to do this may damage the lightbar.
2. Remove upper lens set as described in "Lens removal and Installation" in the Maintenance section of this manual.
3. Undo the cable gland nut from the plastic housing. (The large plastic nut inside the lightbar)
4. Unplug the data connector from the LED controller.
5. Using a No.2 point Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw grounding the external harness to the chassis, and the posi-
tive feed to the LED controller.
6. At this point the cable can be pulled from the opening in the plastic housing and the lightbar removed from the vehicle.
Feed the ring terminals through the plastic nut first then the data connector and do this for the plastic housing also.
7. When reconnecting the lightbar, connect the wiring harnesses and cable gland as originally installed.
Wiring Instructions
Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the Network Junction Box Instructions section of this
manual.
1. After the light bar has been mounted, route the wiring harness into the vehicle to the intended network junction box loca-
tion.
2. Route wires from the vehicle positive (preferrably the battery) to the switch panel in the cab. The vehicle negative should
be direct from the battery negative terminal also. Use suitable high-temperature wire if it passes through the engine com-
partment. Install a suitable fuse as close to the point of tapped power as possible.
3. See Network Junction Box Instructions for connecting the wires from the lightbar cable and the vehicle to the junction
box. This section has instructions for connecting the input wires from the junction box to the control circuits applicable for
each option. Leave unused wires unconnected and insulated.
4. Use cable ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.
Important! This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its
continued operation should any other electrical accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other accessory.
CAUTION!
Disconnect the battery before wiring up the light bar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/
or electrical shock.
