Switching:
Progressive vs. Independent Switching
In a 3-level progressive switch application there are only 3 patterns that typically need to be set.
Using the defaults in the Switching Table below, the patterns displayed would be as follows.
Pattern 1: As the switch is moved from the off position (with the progressive levels notated in parentheses). The defaults listed in this
manual are for the progressive 3 levels.
Pattern 2: In an application with 2- or 3- independent switches there are "combinations" of wire colors that can have unique flash patterns
defined, thus allowing the switches to simulate a progressive style application. It is intuitive to think that only three unique flash patterns can
be displayed in a system with 3 independent switches; however, seven patterns are available. In the Switching Table below, independent
switches can mimic a 3-level progressive switch or create a total of seven different lighting levels.
Note: Remember that the switches that are not progressive, operate completely independent of each other.
Pattern 3: There are seven possible 3-Level modes (see Switching Table below). The factory default is different for each of the 3 -Level
modes. The standard progressive switch will use the Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3 modes. The defaults for Level-1, Level-2 (L1 + L2) and
Level-3 (L1 + L2 + L3) are identified below. When using individual non-progressive switches, make sure to select patterns for all switch
combinations that will be utilized.
Flash Pattern Instructions: SUPERVISOR FLEX Multi Color Units
Choose one of the levels to set by firmly connecting it to +12V. See Page 11 for Control Input Wires and see page 14 for available Flash
Rates and Sequences.
Incrementing Sequence (or Rate):
Hold the Sequence (or Rate) Select wire to +12V to increment to the next sequence (or rate) in the list for the chosen level. The Select wire
can be removed from +12V when the lights turn on steady. (Do not hold longer than a second. Only a tap of the wire to +12V is necessary)
Decrementing Sequence (or Rate):
Hold the Sequence (or Rate) Select wire to +12V for 3 seconds. The Select wire can be removed from the +12V when the lights turn on
steady and then off steady. This will decrement to the previous Sequence (or Rate) in the list for the chosen level. (Do not allow the lights to
turn on a second time.)
Default Reset Sequence (or Rate):
Hold the Sequence (or Rate) Select wire to +12V for 5 seconds. The Select wire can be removed from the +12V when the lights turn on
steady, then off steady, and then back on steady a second time. This will reset to the default Sequence (or Rate) in the list for the chosen
level.
WARNING!
