Chapter 1: Safety Messages • A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly, a separate negative (-) connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as possible.

CHAPTER 2 An Overview of the Integrity Lightbar The INTEGRITY lightbar is a single-level LED lightbar with ROC (Reliable On-Board Circuitry) and Solaris LED technologies. ROC eliminates approximately 85 percent of potential failure points by ® incorporating a printed circuit board (PCB) in one assembly to substantially reduce the number of electrical connections.
High output, long-life LEDs with no bulbs to change. Product Specifications Operating and technical specifications for the INTEGRITY lightbar are listed in this section by model. Dimensions Model INTEGRITY44 INTEGRITY51 Length 43.7 in (111.0 cm) 51.3 in (130.3 cm) Height 1.96 in (5.0 cm)
CHAPTER 3 Reprogramming the Lightbar HEAVY OBJECT—Use lifting aids and proper lifting techniques when removing or replacing this product. Failure to follow this warning may cause personal injury. Carefully unpack the lightbar assembly and any other products included in the shipment. Inspect them for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Chapter 4: Wiring the INTEGRITY Lightbar in the Vehicle Making the Electrical Connections for Reprogramming To supply power to the lightbar, use a fully-charged 12-volt automotive battery and follow these steps: 1. Place the lightbar on a sturdy, flat surface. 2.
Chapter 3: Reprogramming the Lightbar Switch Settings and Connectors on the Serial Interface Module The switches to select flash patterns and lightbar functions are accessible throughon the PCB on the Serial Interface Module. Figure 3.2 shows the locations of the switches and connectors. See Table 3.1 for a desciption of switch settings and functions.
Chapter 3: Reprogramming the Lightbar Selecting External SignalMaster Control To select External SignalMaster control: 1. Unplug the 24-pin harness from the Serial Interface Module. 2. Move Switch 4 on SW-2 to the up (OFF) position. 3. Plug the 24-pin harness into the Serial Interface Module. Selecting Internal SignalMaster Control (Factory Default) To select Internal SignalMaster control: 1.

Chapter 3: Reprogramming the Lightbar Exiting Program Mode When you are finished, switch the Serial Interface Module from Operation Mode to Program Mode. 1. Unplug the 24-pin harness from the Serial Interface Module. 2. On the Serial Interface Module, move SW-2 Switch 6 to the up (OFF) position. 3.
CHAPTER 4 Wiring the INTEGRITY Lightbar in the Vehicle Before proceeding, ensure that the lightbar has been installed on the vehicle roof in accordance with the instructions included with the mounting kit. Depending on the type of vehicle and mounting system feature, there are two options available for installing the lightbar to the roof of the vehicle: hook-on mounting or permanent mounting.
Chapter 4: Wiring the INTEGRITY Lightbar in the Vehicle Separate all electronic equipment wiring from two-way radio equipment wiring. To avoid interference, keep two-way radio antennas a minimum of 18 in (45.7 cm) away from warning equipment. Whenever possible, run full wire lengths. DO NOT splice the wires. 10.

Chapter 4: Wiring the INTEGRITY Lightbar in the Vehicle Scene Light, Left and Scene Light, Right This function applies only to lightbars with SpectraLux Technology (INTEGRITY and Vision SLR). To use this function with the Serial Interface Module, place SW-2 Switch 3 in the Module in the down position (ON).
Chapter 4: Wiring the INTEGRITY Lightbar in the Vehicle Internal SignalMaster (Factory Default) Internal operation uses the lightbar’s built-in 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 lightbar’s internal SignalMaster controller. To activate the lightbar’s internal SignalMaster controller, apply 12 Vdc (+BAT) to the SignalMaster control wires External SignalMaster External operation uses the Serial Interface Module to drive each SignalMaster directional warning head...
