Vehicle Body NOTE: QuadraFlare models have identifiable color-coded sticker dots on the back of the light assembly. The color-coded sticker dots correspond to the LED color on the PC board.
Selecting a Flash Pattern Looking at the back of the unit with the vent hole on your right, the top of the light is controlled with the red wire and the bottom is controlled with the white wire. See Figure 3. If the light has one side with red LEDs, the red wire controls that side and the white controls the other side (amber, blue, white, green, or red).
Selecting a Flash Pattern 3. Briefly touch the program wire (yellow) to +12 Vdc. NOTE: Holding the pattern wire (yellow) to +12 Vdc for 5 to 9 seconds returns you to default flash pattern 1. Holding the pattern wire (yellow) to +12 Vdc for 10 seconds or more brings you to default flash pattern 2.
