Front Take-Downs Voltage Sense: 9.5v De-power Power Specification Bullitt Advanced Lightbars are manufactured to operate within the voltage range of 10-30v DC negative ground (-ve earth). This will require setting upon installation to ensure correct functionality Supply Voltage 11-30v DC full brightness 10-11v DC Possible Reduced brightness (begins to reduce below 11v for green, blue and white LED’s)

Apply the brown (Pattern Select) wire to +ve momentarily Lamps will reduce in brightness Release the grey wire To revert back to default setting simply repeat the process Note 25% Dim mode does not meet the requirements of the R65 candela (brightness) specification 8.0 ECE R65 Monitor Output The monitor output activates when the Lightbar is flashing with R65 compliance.
10.0 Programming the Lightbar 10.1 Setting an Input Function Nine inputs (F1-F9) can each be programmed to perform 23 optional functions Connect all the input wires to the LBAR Main Controller (refer to section 4.0) Ensure that the Lightbar is in ‘Standby’ mode by connecting Black Apply the yellow (sync) wire to -ve permanently...
11.0 Traffic Director By default, the three main Traffic Director (TDIR) inputs are setup to operate on the Rear Only. However, the inputs can also be programmed to operate as Front Only, Front & Rear or Front & Rear opposite. Additionally, the colour can be set individually to each input (refer to 9.0 Setting the Colour) You can also setup the length of the TDIR and select optional ‘chase’...
12.0 Additional Programmable Inputs These are functions that may be set to any of the inputs (F1-F9). The user can assign the function if it has not been set in the factory, however this will mean replacing an already programmed input if there are no spare function wires available.
12.6 Tail - Factory fitted but can be installed as an upgrade (see 13.0 Lightbar Upgrades) You must utilise 2 x BL.ADSTI for this function to work – setting this feature on a standard lightbar lamp will void warranty Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 15 for Stop Follow section 10.1, selecting feature code 16 for Tail for the wire connection to run this feature Once set, the tail lamps should appear in the same position you have set up for...
with a maximum length of 1 full module – the modules split into half to allow for STI setup using BL.ADSTI, each time it will return to the centre to allow you to select the correct position – the ‘off’ position is a part of this setup procedure, so if you do not want ‘FRONT INDICATORS’...
12.12 Flexi-Flash (FF) - Flash selected modules, in a variety of positions Flexi-Flash allows the user to set a single LED module (or multiple modules) programmed to this input function, in any desired format, giving the user total flexibility. This function can be used to set up individual lightheads to flash or steady burn as required on the rear or front of the lightbar, on either side or both sides.

12.15 Inclusion / Exclusion flag Within the lightbar, there are various features, mainly on ‘single colour modules’ that may ‘clash’ with another feature setup on the lightbar. For example: Below the lightbar is set up as Blue 360/2 (Blue lights) – but you wouldn’t want the traffic director to flash in Amber when the Blues are flashing as standard –...
13.0 Lightbar Upgrades The unique design of the Bullitt Advanced permits certain user upgrades to be carried out giving improved visibility or additional functionality, such as Traffic Director, Stop/Tail/Indicator or Alley Lights. Some programming will be required dependant on the type of upgrade (refer to 10.0 Programming the Lightbar).

15.0 Synchronisation (Sync) The Sync input/output is used to synchronise flashing with other Redtronic products. The Sync wire (yellow) should be connected to all other products that require synchronising with the Lightbar. DO NOT APPLY THE YELLOW WIRE TO +VE SUPPLY IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
17.0 Cleaning the Lightbar The Bullitt Advanced has an IP69K rating. However, it is important to adhere to the following guidelines when cleaning the Lightbar: Warning: Only use fresh water free from detergents to clean the Bullitt Advanced lightbar. Using detergents or cleaning solutions with the product can cause stress and discolouration to the polycarbonate lenses, causing significant damage to the product ...
