Powering multiple devices with a common con-
trol lead may cause one or more units to briefly
remain functional after signal power is removed.
For example, due to the high input filter capaci-
tance, a strobe supply can briefly supply the
current required to operate a low current device
such as an LED. If necessary, use a relay to iso-
late devices with large filter capacitors. See fig-
ure 3-2 for the schematic; all components/wires
are user-supplied.
A.
Mode Inputs.
There are three prioritized mode of operation
available with mode three being the highest priority.
Mode 3 (WHT/RED) will override Mode 2 (RED) and
Mode 2 will override Mode 1 WHT/ORN). One of the
available flash patterns can be programmed to each
mode input. Default configuration is Mode 3 Random
Flash, Mode 2 Quad Flash and Mode 1 Single Flash.
Programming is covered in Section 3-4 and 3-5. To ac-
tivate a mode, apply 12VDC to a mode input wire. See
figure 3-1 for proper fusing.
B.
Steady Burn Red.
When the SMART VECTOR™ SL is equipped
with a Steady Burn Red led module, applying 12VDC to
the Orange wire will cause that module to operate when
any mode input is selected.
C.
Intersection Mode.
When 12VDC is momentarily applied to the
(WHT/YEL) wire, it will cause the flash rate of the se-
lected mode input to double. When 12VDC is applied
again the flash rate will return to normal.
D.
Right Alley.
Applying 12VDC to the Right Alley (Green)
wire will cause the Right Alley lights to illuminate.
E.
Left Alley.
Applying 12VDC to the Left Alley (White)
wire will cause the Left Alley lights to illuminate.

F.
Takedowns.
Applying 12VDC to the Takedowns (Gray)
wire will cause the Takedowns lights to illuminate.
G.
Jog Left.
Applying 12VDC (via a user-supplied mo-
mentary switch) to the yellow wire while alleys or take-
downs are illuminated will cause the Smart Pod(s) to
step to the left. If the switch is pressed and released, the
Smart Pod(s) will jog left one step. If the switch is held
down, the Smart Pod(s) will continue to step left until
the switch is released
H.
Jog Right.
Applying 12VDC (via a user-supplied momen-
tary switch) to the black wire while alleys or takedowns
are illuminated will cause the Smart Pod(s) to step
to the right. If the switch is pressed and released, the
Smart Pod(s) will jog right one step. If the switch is held
down, the Smart Pod(s) will continue to step right until
the switch is released
3-3. FUNCTION ACTIVATION – SIGNALMASTER.
Jumpers are factory installed for External Sig-
nalMaster Controller. Refer to table 3-1 and fig-
ure 3-1 for proper connections.

control wires the corresponding SignalMaster function
will activate (see table 3-1). The first seven inputs are
prioritized, with "Left" (WHT/BRN) being the highest
priority and "Warn 4" (WHT/GRN) being the lowest pri-
ority. The highest priority input that has 12VDC applied
will override any other input that has12VDC applied.
When using a three position progressive slide switch for
"Left", "Center" and "Right" functions, "Left" is connect-
