Electric Current
Since the lightbar is customized, the current may vary according to the type of head
lights and their colors. To calculate total current, you have to sum the use of the electric
current of each head light, as seen below:

2. Installation
2.1. Mounting the hardware
Follow the steps bellow to a proper hardware installation:
A. Locate and remove the 2 Phillips headed screws from each wire cover on each
foot and remove the covers. Save the screws for installation later.

B. Insert the mounting bolts into the groove on the lightbar. Insert the longer bolt first
then the shorter bolt for each side.
C. Place the feet on the mounting bolts as shown and loosely tighten the nuts using a
1/2 wrench. Only use a washer on the taller bolt. Placing a washer on the shorter
bolt will prevent the wire cover from seating properly.
D. Measure the distance of each corner from the vehicle ceiling. Use the formula below:
Distance (in) = roof [width/2] 13.5
The inner edge of the feet should be positioned from the center of the lightbar as shown
and at the following distances:
Dodge Charger: 12 inches
Ford Crown Victoria: 12 inches
Chevy Impala: 12 inches

E. Before tightening the nuts on the individual feet, align each foot to the lightbar by
placing the edge of the foot parallel to the outer edge of the lightbar as shown.
G. If necessary, use the supplied wedge shaped rubber foot pad in both magfoots to
adjust the angle of the lightbar if it is not level with the roof.

H. Connect the Take Down / Alley connectors on the feet to the mating connectors on
the lightbar.
I. Place the wire covers on the feet using the screws removed earlier. Route the wires
through the openings as shown, to avoid pinching them. To insure proper fitment of
the covers, the connectors will need to be positioned towards the larger (thicker) end
of the cover.
J. Verify the fit of the covers. A properly fitting cover should be flush to the mating
surface to limit debris intrusion and wind noise.

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.

F) Reconnect the lightbar to power source or replace the internal fuse.
G) Performing Polling: You must perform the polling procedure (using an ICM
device) or just using the wires. Otherwise, the lightbar will not activate the flash
patterns properly. For further information, go to section 5.3.
H) After performing the polling procedure, place the dome back on the lightbar base
and secure it using the dome clips removed earlier.
Note:
This lightbar has different electronic board types. The first electronic board is the
motherboard (MBLD). It is located on the first light head, and connected to the external
electrical harness. In case the motherboard needs to be replaced, call technical
assistance for the motherboard model specific to your lightbar.

E) After unplugging the old light from the ceramic plug, pull the MR 11 alignment
bracket off the defective light and place it on the new lamp. Connect the new lamp
into the ceramic plug.
F) Position the new light into the socket.
P.S.: Notice that the light will NOT fit the socket completely.
G) Position the new lamp into the socket. Depress and rotate the light clockwise until
the locking pins of the MR 11 alignment bracket align with the 2 internal holes of
the socket.
H) Position the rubber seal on the outside edge of the cap and the outer o-ring over
the end cover.
I) Make sure the rubber seal and outer o-ring are positioned properly to prevent
water and dirt from entering inside the lamp. Turn the cap clockwise.
J) Confirm if the outer o-ring and rubber seal are positioned properly. In case the
outer o-ring is exposed, remove the cap and place it back on. Ensure the rubber
seal is positioned symmetrically.

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):

= Short Flash
= Short Interval
