Overview -

The Control Point Module serves as the 'brains' of the
Whelen WC Series lightbar. The module is programmed with
the WeCan™ Programming Software via the USB port and in
turn, provides the necessary signals that allow the lightbar to
function in the desired manner.
As represented in the WeCan™ Programming software, each
of the 18 inputs may be programmed to activate any number
or combination of the installed lightbar components. This is
accomplished by applying +12VDC to an input. Refer to the
sample wiring diagrams shown on pgs. 2 through 4, or the
installation guide included with your switches for detailed
wiring information.
Note - The pattern override feature will override all active
LED lightheads with the pattern override flash pattern.
