Synchronization

The directional is capable of syncing with other CODE 3 compatible products by following the steps below.

  1. Step 1. Set the desired flash pattern on each unit individually. It is also strongly recommended that the same rate and style of flash pattern be used on all synced units to produce the most effective warning pattern. Note: To operate simultaneously, each unit must be set to the same phase (A + A or B + B); to operate alternately, units must be set to have the opposite phase (A + B or B + A).
  2. Step 2. Connect the yellow sync wires together and check that the units are flashing in a synchronized manner as expected. If a pattern on one unit appearas incorrect, the blue pattern select wire can be used to cycle forward or backward on that individualy unit until the correct pattern is selected. Note: This will only change the pattern in the one unit and will not affect the other units connected to the yellow sync wire.

Pattern Selection:
Apply BLUE wire to Negative:

  • Less than 1 sec. for next pattern
  • Between 1-3 sec. for previous pattern
  • Between 3-5 sec. for factory default pattern
  • More than 5 sec. for last pattern
