1. Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and the public.
2. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Exercise caution when working with live electrical connections.
3. This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
4. Proper placement and installation are vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that the output performance of the system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
5. Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an airbag. Equipment mounted or located in an airbag deployment area may reduce the effectiveness of the airbag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for the airbag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable mounting location ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.
6. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure daily that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions.

Kit Contents

This kit is designed to integrate one 12+ Pro lightbar (standard wiring option) and up to four different directional lights within the same ECCO CONNECT system. The flash patterns come pre-programmed in the SIB. Use the instructions below to install this system. If you run into any questions, please reach out to our Tech Support team. We’ll be happy to assist.

Installation and Mounting

1. Install the SIB, SWITCHNODE, and (if ordered) EZ0000 controller inside the cab on a flat surface that is safe from moisture. Follow the provided instructions for mounting each product.
2. Mount the exterior lighting directionals in the desired locations of the vehicle. Note: Drill a 1” hole for the wire exit of the directional.
3. Mount the 12+ Pro lightbar per the install instructions included with the lightbar. Route the control cable back to the Switch node. The control cable is included with a lightbar and comes in three different lengths (15’, 23’, 48’). Program the 12+ flash patterns using the “Pattern Select” wire (purple wire). Reference the install instructions included with the 12+ for details. Note: The 12+ flash patterns run independently from the rest of the system and will not be in sync.

Wiring Instructions

1. Use 8 AWG Ring Terminal and 8 AWG wires to connect the Switch node positive terminal to +12V or +24V.
2. Use 10-12 AWG Ring Terminal and 10 AWG wire to connect the Switch node negative terminal to the ground.
3. Connect the EZ0000 power and input connectors into the SIB. Connect the two red wires to +12V or +24V and black to the ground.
4. Connect the Switch node to the Serial Interface Box by plugging the CAN 690-0499-00 and 690-1051-00.
5. Route Cables from the Switch node to each directional. Connect Deutsch connections.
6. Connect the 12+ lightbar to the Switch node using the lightbar connector.
7. Connect Switchnode Junction Harness according to the image below.
8. If you are connecting the SIB input wires to switches, select the desired SIB input wires to use based on the flash pattern table in this install guide. The remaining unused input wires can be trimmed and capped.

List of primary/secondary colors by product

Reference the guidance below to connect each product back to the correct Switchnode outputs. The 12+ Pro will use three connectors (#2, 3, 6)

Two different cable options are available to connect the directionals to the Switch node. Cables can be combined to create a longer extension. Note, that the lightbar does not require extension cables, use the control cable provided with the lightbar to route back to the Switch node. Route the cables below using the guidance provided below.
