    Introduction The SuperVisor™ is an interior lighting system that fits in the visor area near the top of the windshield. It delivers an amazing warning signal, including MR8 powered takedown lights. The SuperVisor is designed on a modular basis, which means that the light bar can be customized to meet most any requirements.
  • Page 4 Unpacking & Pre-installation Carefully remove the SuperVisor™ and place it on a flat surface, taking care not to scratch the lenses or damage the cable coming out of the side. Examine the unit for transit damage, broken lamps, etc. Report any damage to the carrier and keep the shipping carton.
  • Page 5 Figure 3A will work in both the new and old vehicles. The basic installation is the same except when mounting the SuperVisor to the inner brackets install the 1/4-20 x1/2" mounting screws into the slot in the inner mounting bracket that is nearest the mating hole in the SuperVisor's Outer panel see Figure 3B.
  • Page 6 Attaching the pivot arm brackets Attach the outer brackets that are supplied noting the difference between passenger and driver side brackets (see Figure 4). Position the bracket on the passenger sun visor's pivot arm as shown in Figure 5. Rotate the pivot arm on the passenger sun visor and verify the orientation of the bracket as shown in Figure 6.
  • Page 7 Mounting the SuperVisor™ Once all four brackets and sun visors are attached, the SuperVisor is now ready to be installed. Position the SuperVisor in the center of the windshield as shown in Figure 9. FIGURE 9 The two center brackets should line up with the holes in the SuperVisor's lower chassis. Using the supplied 1/4"-20 bolts and internal tooth lock washers, loosely install them as shown in Figure 10.
  • Page 8 Figure 11. Tighten all pivot arm and sun visor retaining clip torx screws.Using a tape measure and a level, center the SuperVisor from side to side and locate a position on the headliner where the SuperVisor is level.
  • Page 10 Wiring Instructions Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the ® connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g. 3M Scotchlock type connectors).

    LED Fusing Considerations Although the average current draw per module is very low, due to the type of circuit used to power each module, the instantaneous peak current to a module can be significantly higher during low voltage conditions. To avoid prematurely blowing ATO style fuses or tripping breakers it is recommended the following rule-of-thumb be used to size fuses or breakers.
