K. While the lightbar is upside down, slide the cylinder nuts into the tab brackets as
shown. Ensure that the grooves in the cylinders engage as depicted.

L. Loosely installing the roof mounting brackets with the long threaded bolts can be
performed at this point or this task can be performed once the lightbar is
appropriately positioned on the vehicle roof. Please note that installation at this point
will mean that these metal pieces will be hanging loosely when the lightbar is
positioned over the vehicle roof dramatically increasing the chances for damaging the
vehicle surfaces during installation. Extreme care must be taken on your behalf to
avoid vehicular damage.

M. If not previously completed, place the long threaded bolts through the large hole in
the roof brackets as shown. Thread the bolt into the cylinder nut previously installed.
Make sure that the bolt crossed the cylinder nut all the way though. A flat tipped
screwdriver may be needed to properly orient the cylinder nut.

N. Loosely tighten the long threaded bolts to pull the brackets to the roof lip. Drill 7/64
inch pilot holes using the middle and outer 2 bracket holes as guides. Apply sealant
(RTV) to the drilled holes. Fasten the brackets to the roof with the six Phillips headed
sheet metal screws provided (3 per side). Once the brackets are secure, torque the
long threaded bolt to 30 in-lb.

O. When using the supplied rubber grommet, drill a 3/4 inch hole in the roof
approximately as shown for routing the wiring for installation completion.

2.2 Routing the lightbar cable


Route the light cable into the wiring shield and towards the firewall to minimize interior
intrusion and to optimize wiring. Make sure you do not pinch or crush any wires when
running them through the wire shield.
The light cable has two power wires (RED and BLACK) and three control wires
(GREEN, YELLOW and ORANGE). The end sections of each power wire has plural
conductive wires - a terminal set composed by a positive terminal (RED) and a negative
terminal (BLACK).

K) Reconnect the lightbar to power source or replace the internal fuses.
Note:
It is NOT necessary to perform pooling after take down/alley light replacement.
5.3 Polling

Polling is an important procedure to ensure the lightbar operation. When replacing an


LED board or module in a Rontan S-Series product, you must perform a Polling upon
installation to allow the lightbar to recognize and include the new application.
In this process, all the LED lights receive a sequential number. Additionally, the
motherboard identifies information such as:
a) Total LED light heads
b) Presence of takedown/alley lights
This process also verifies if the control wires were connected correctly, and not switched.
Polling can be performed with all the compatible Rontan S-series controllers. Refer to
each controller manual for instructions.

Polling has basically 3 steps:


First Step Identifying the light heads and light sequence
This first step is used to identify internal communication problems that may occur in the
lightbars. The connection between the motherboard and the light heads occurs in
sequence (MB > 1LH > 2LH > 3LH > 4LH >). For example, information will get to
www.rontantech.com

MPX.L01.L005-00 - Rev. 0

WingLux-S
Installation, Operation & Programming Instructions
the third light head after going through the first and second light head and so on. It is
very important to verify the correct light sequence of the LED light heads.
When the manual polling process is initialized, the first light head will be activated for
approximately 1 sec. Each individual light head will flash sequentially. If TD and alley
lights are included in the lightbar, they will be also activated sequentially. Once the last
light head is reached, the next pattern will cycle back to light head #1. This cycle will be
repeated 10 times. Once the operation of the lightbar is verified, simply tap the YELLOW
wire into the RED wire and proceed to the next step.
How to verify the problems in the light heads:
The communication between the motherboard and the light heads is CORRECT if
the lights flash sequentially.
The communication between the motherboard and the light heads is INCORRECT
if the lights flash rapidly and simultaneously, or if the communication does not run
through one of light heads, which means that the communication problem
occurred between the last active light and the following inactivate light. The error
may have occurred because of an electronic defect or an interrupted internal
electrical harness.
Second Step Verifying firmware version
The first light head of the lightbar will flash in order to specify the firmware version on the
MB.
E.g.: Version 1.8 (V1.8):

Third Step Verifying the activation mode


Similar to Step 2, the first light head of the lightbar will flash in order to specify the
activation mode of the lightbar.
E.g.: Activation Mode (Mode 6):
