Preparing the Legend for Installation
Preparing the Legend for Installation
Taking the preparatory steps in this section before mounting and wiring the light
bar to a vehicle will help to ensure that your installation is fast, easy, and error
free. In addition to bench testing, this section has instructions for changing default
settings and flash patterns.
Unpacking the Light Bar
Carefully unpack the light bar assembly and any other products included in the
shipment. Inspect them for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If a
product has been damaged, do not install or operate it. Immediately file a claim
with the carrier describing the damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels, and tags before removing or
destroying them. If you are missing any parts, contact Customer Support at
1-800-264-3578, 7 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday (CT).
Changing the Default Settings
Although the light bar is configured and programmed at the factory, you may want
to change default settings and flash patterns before installation. Before you begin,
decide if you want to change these default settings:
SignalMaster Operation: Internal (factory default) or External
You can change the setting from Internal to External. INTERNAL operation uses
the light bar's on-board SignalMaster controller to generate directional warning
patterns. With Internal operation, an external SignalMaster controller is not needed.
A standard low-current switch box can activate the internal SignalMaster controller.
EXTERNAL operation uses the Serial Interface Module to drive each SignalMaster
directional warning head independently through an external Federal Signal
SignalMaster controller or SS2000SM series siren
MODE 1, 2, 3, and INTERSECTION
MODES 1 through 3 are most often selected by a progressive slide switch, which
enables the driver to turn on the light bar without looking down. You can select a
pattern for each mode from the light bar's library of 26 patterns.
The INTERSECTION flash pattern is typically a high activity pattern that attracts
attention to the vehicle as it approaches an intersection. You can select a pattern
from the library and choose one of three ways to turn on and off the pattern. The
INTERSECTION flash pattern overrides the three priority modes.
NOTE: If the SignalMaster flash pattern is turned on, it overrides the current flash
pattern.
FRONT and REAR lights: CUTOFF (default) or ENABLE
Set these options after you change the default settings for MODE and
INTERSECTION flash patterns. CUTOFF turns OFF the front or rear LEDs when
12 Vdc is applied to the FRONT or REAR light control wire. ENABLE turns ON the
front or rear LEDs when 12 Vdc is applied.
