DRILLING ANY HOLES INTO THE LIGHTBAR IS NOT RECOMMENDED! THE RISK OF DAMAGING INTERNAL COMPONENTS AND THE RESULTING FAILURE OF THE LIGHTBAR WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY OF THIS PRODUCT.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Make sure to read and understand all instruction and warnings before proceeding with the installation of this product. Ensure that the manual and any warning cards are delivered to the end user of this equipment. Proper installation of the lightbar requires the installer to have a thorough knowledge of automotive electronics, systems, and procedures. Lightbars provide an essential function of an effective visual warning system. The use of the lightbar does not insure that all drivers can or will abide by or react to an emergency warning signal, especially at high rates of speeds or long distances. The operator of the vehicle must never take the right of way for granted and it is the operator’s responsibility to proceed safely. The effectiveness of the this lightbar is highly dependant on the correct mounting and wiring. The installer must read and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and warnings in the manual. The vehicle operator should verify daily that the lightbar is securely fastened to the vehicle and properly functioning before operating vehicle. The lightbar is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s respon-sibility to ensure they understand and operate the emergency warning devices in compliance with the appli-cable city, state and federal laws and regulations. (SoundOff signal assumes no liability for any loss result-ing from the use of this warning device.)

ETL 5000 INSTALLATION1. Test your lightbar: Using a high current power supply or +12-volt automotive battery only, test your new ETL 5000 prior to installation onto the vehicle to verify your bar is properly configured and functioning properly. This test can be done using the included wiring schematic and electrical installation power up test steps 2-4 and lightbar configuration and pattern setup steps 1-2.

2. Review ETL 5000 basics and understand descriptions.

3. Attach vehicle specific bracket to adjustable mounting bracket. 1 1/2” Allen drive screw must be placed “underneath” adjustable mounting bracket (See Figure 1). Allen drive screw will be accessible through hole in front of adjustable bracket. Square nut must be placed in front of vehicle specific bracket. Place 1/4“ lockwasher between square nut and vehicle specific hook bracket. See Figure 1 for details. To hold bracket in place, use provided hardware: 1 flat washer, 1 lock washer and 3/8” Allen drive screw per slot (as shown in Figure 1).

4. Attach mounting brackets to bar using the carriage bolts pre-installed on the bar. Use two lockwashers and a acorn nut per bolt. Leave acorn nuts loose so that the bracket has the ability to slide to fit your specific vehicle application. When choosing the placement for the mounting bracket, consider the cable routing and the risk of pinching wires or anything that can lead to cable failure. See Figure 2 for details.

5. Position bar on roof about center line of “B” pillar. Determine final location of adjustable mounting brackets for vehicle application and ensure bar is centered about brackets and vehicle. Determine and mark off locations for mounting screws through vehicle specific bracket into roof. Determine location for wire entry into vehicle.

6. Determine the height of bar in relationship to the roof that best suits your application. Height of bar can be adjusted by loosening 4 allen drive screws that fasten pivot arm to either end. To simplify this procedure we recommend cutting 2 wood blocks to your preferred height to set gap height between roof and bar. Also be sure that adjustable height bracket feet are sitting flat on vehicle roof. See Figure 3.

7. After position of bar is determined. Tighten tilt and height adjustment screws (shown on page 5). Also tighten acorn nuts attaching adjustable mounting bracket to bar.

8. Drill 4 holes using a #30 (.128 dia.) drill bit on each side of vehicle that were marked in Step 5. Be careful not to damage weather stripping on vehicle.

9. Using 1 1/4” hole saw, drill hole in marked location on roof for cable routing. Be mindful that you do not drill through any roof support members or interior head liner. Clean and debur hole.

10. Secure each vehicle specific bracket by using 4 supplied #8 x 1/2” truss head screws.

11. When required, adjust front to back tilt to make bar parallel with road for best optical range. 5/32“ allen drive adjustment screws are located above each mounting foot in the mounting bracket base. Adjustment screws must be turned counter-clockwise to raise either front or back of bar.

12. Tighten vehicle attachment brackets to roof by turning 5/32” Allen driver in counter-clockwise rotation. Depending on your desired height, you may need to cut down your allen wrench to fit between the bar and the mounting bracket.

13. Add foam gaskets supplied with lightbar to carriage bolt slots in bottom of extrusion to help prevent wind noise.

14. Route cables into vehicle. Use supplied rubber grommet in roof for sealing/protection of wires. It is recommended that silicone be placed around grommet to ensure roof sealing.

15. Route cable down through the “B” pillar and towards switch panel. Refer to the instructions included with your switch for switch wiring information.

WARNING - CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN DRILLING THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE NOT TO DRILL INTO ANY EXISTING WIRING AND NOT TO DRILL THROUGH THE HEADLINER OR SUPPORT MEMBERS OF THE VEHICLE. CHECK BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUNTING SERVICE PRIOR TO DRILLING. DE-BURR ANY HOLES AND REMOVE ANY

METAL SHARDS OR REMNANTS. INSTALL GROMMETS INTO ALL WIRE PASSAGE HOLES.

WARNING - ROUTE WIRES ONLY IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT SUBJECTED TO POTENTIAL WEAR. MAKE SURE TO AVOID ROUTING WIRES IN THE DEPLOYMENT AREA OF YOUR AIR BAG. REFER TO YOUR VEHICLE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES

WARNING: All customer supplied power wires connecting to the Positive (+) or Negative (-) battery terminal or local chassis ground (-) must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum current and properly fused at the power source with appropriately rated fuse.

Power Cable:1. Route lightbar power cables as close to vehicles power source (battery) as possible.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONFeatured Highlights: Mode Select: The ETL 5000 Lightbar is equipped with 2 selectable pattern configuration modes via the Mode Select Input. Default is Mode 1 where the input is floating, Mode 2 is in use when the input activated. This feature allows 2 complete sets of patterns to be programmed into the Lightbar's non-volatile memory. Once programming configuration is complete, the Mode can be changed “on-the-fly” by an activation switch.

Cruise Mode: Allows the user to program any Light Head Group(s) to “Glow” when this feature is activated.

Directional Arrow Built-in: If the lightbar was purchased with a directional arrow, the directional controller is built-in w/ 4 arrow patterns for each direction and 9 warning patterns for warming functions.

ETL 5000 INSTALLATIONIMPORTANT: When passing cables through firewall or other sheet metal, insert grommet to protect the cable!

2. Install a 40AMP Fuse (customer supplied) to the end of the RED wire of the Lightbar Power Cable. a. Remove the fuse before connecting any wires to the battery. b. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSIBLE LINK.

3. Connect the other end of the Fuse to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. a. Do NOT use any more than 2ft of wire between the battery terminal and the fuse and ensure the wire is protected and secured from being cut into; this is non-fused wire.

4. Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground right next to the battery.

Control (Data) Cable:1. Route Lightbar Control Cable to the location where all controlling equipment will be, i.e. switch box, center console area.

2. Locate the Breakout Box in the same area to connect jumpers from the switching equipment to the breakout box.

NOTE: Power is supplied to Breakout Box through data cable, no additional power connections necessary.

Initial Power up Test:1. Insert 40AMP Fuse into Fuse Holder.

2. Plug data jack into Data 1 connector of the breakout box (Data 2 may also be used, but is for future use.)

3. Observe the GREEN Data Link indicator LED on the Breakout Box; the LED will turn steady ON about 3 seconds after main power is connected

4. When GREEN LED is steady ON, the lightbar is ready to be configured.

Pattern Selection: a. First review the Pattern Table (included on pg. 7) before attempting pattern selection to familiarize yourself with patterns available for the different Functions i. Depending on the Lightbar configuration purchased, the Arrow Pattern Table may or may not be applicable. b. Select the Input Function(s) and apply +12V to activate. i. To change patterns on more than one input function, simply connect desired input functions together. Before doing this, make sure all the inputs are using the same pattern table and are on the same pattern to make pattern identification easier. c. Momentarily apply +12V to advance to the next pattern. See Flash Pattern Table below. i. Once the last pattern is reached, the next pattern advance will cycle back to Pattern #1. d. Once the desired pattern is reached, simply disconnect the Input Function(s) and proceed to the next Input Function(s) to be configured. i. The pattern is saved in non-volatile memory every time it is advanced.

Mode Configuration: See Mode Input on Function Description Table (attached sheet) for more details about this feature. a. Mode 1 (Default): the Mode Select Input will be floating (no-connection) i. Continue on to Pattern Selection instructions below to set the patterns for this Mode b. Mode 2: apply +12V to activate Mode 2. This will need to be activated to configure the Lightbar in Mode 2 i. Continue on to Pattern Selection instructions below to set the patterns for this Mode ii. Once patterns have been setup, connect Mode Select Input to switching system. iii. When the Mode Select Input is activated, the Mode 2 Patterns will flash.

Cruise Mode Configuration: See Cruise Mode Input on Function Description Table (attached sheet) for more details about this Feature. a. Apply +12V to activate Cruise Mode for configuration setup. b. Determine what Input Function(s) are desired to use Cruise Mode. c. Apply +12V to the Input Function(s) desired. i. NOTE: Lights will flash preset flash pattern d. With both the Cruise Mode Input and the Input Function(s) activated, momentarily apply +12V to the pattern select wire to toggle the Cruise Mode to ON (default is OFF). e. Observe the OFF sequence of the flash pattern is ON dim. f. Disconnect the Input Function wire(s) (while leaving cruise mode input active) and observe the lightbar is NOT flashing, but the output function(s) recently set are glowing steady.
