FUNCTION DEFINITIONS
Mode Select: The mpower Exterior Lightbar is equipped with 8 selectable pattern configuration modes. The default
input wire configuration allows for 6 modes and an additional 2 modes may be configured with the PC Application using
any available input wires. Default is Mode 1 where the Mode select input is floating. Mode 2 is in use when the input is
activated. This feature allows up to 8 completely different sets of patterns to be programmed into the Light-bar's non-
volatile memory. Once programming configuration is complete, the Mode can be changed “on-the-fly” by an activation
switch which applies voltage to the Mode input wire(s).
Cruise Mode: Allows the user to program any light group(s) to “Glow” when this feature is activated. The LED intensity is
selectable between 1 and 10% duty cycle. For dual / tri color bars, the color for each light group is selectable.
Takedown Mode: Allows the user to program any Light Head Group(s) to turn on steady when this feature is activated to
provide steady ON takedown lighting.
Directional Arrow Built-in: The directional controller is built-in with 11 arrow patterns for each of the 3 modes (left
arrow, right arrow, and center out arrow) and the color is selectable for dual / tri color bars
Steady On Mode: Accessible with PC App only and allows the user to program any light module to turn on steady at
100% duty cycle.
Stop / Tail / Turn Mode: Allows the user to program any Light Head Group(s) to operate in 2 levels of intensity for tail
and stop/turn functions.
Low Power Mode: Operates lighting at reduced intensity. Selectable between 20 and 90% duty cycle.
Scene Lighting Mode: Allows the user to program any Light Head Group(s) to turn on steady when this feature is
activated to provide additional scene lighting. The activation of this input also activates the Takedown function
Speed Sense Input: The breakout box has a speed sense input that is capable of sensing vehicle speed when connected
to the Vehicle Speed Sens e (VSS) trigger wire which is supplied in the police upfitter wire harness for some vehicles. This
feature is configured using the PC configuration software utility.
Auto Dimming: Operates lightbar at reduced intensity when ambient light is low.
Matrix Input: Matrix inputs are virtual inputs which can be triggered based on combinations of up to four physical wires
or siren input signals. This feature also allows the installer to invert the state of inputs, latch momentary inputs and adjust
trigger timing through on and off delay timer settings. This feature is configured using the PC configuration software
utility.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Power Cable:
1. Route lightbar power cables as close to vehicles power source (battery) as possible.
2. Install a maximum of 35Amp 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.
3. Refer to breakout box hookup table on page 9.
NOTE: Breakout Box must be mounted inside vehicle where it will not get wet.

Initial Power up Test:


1. Connect the red and the black wire from lightbar to red and black wire of the 4-pin Breakout Box Harness as shown on
page 16
2. Connect Green wire from lightbar to green LIN 1 of the 4-pin Breakout Box Harness as shown on page 16.
3. Apply power to pink/white ignition wire on breakout box. See table 1 on page 16.
4. Observe the GREEN Data Link indicator LED on the Breakout Box; the Green LED will be ON showing power is
connected.
5. The Red indicator LED on the breakout box will be steady ON whenever any of the input wires are active or data is
received from a siren.

Low Power (Standby) Mode (reduced standby current)


If there is no input to the breakout box the lightbar will go into a “standby” mode. The standby mode is a low power
mode that is used to extend the life of your battery. The lightbar will awaken from the standby mode if any input is
activated on the breakout box.

PHOTO SENSOR
The photo sensor continuously monitors ambient light conditions and will control functions configured for operation with
the photo sensor input. By default, the photo sensor will set all light modules into low power mode when dark ambient
light levels below 50 lux are detected for more than 5 seconds. When ambient light levels exceed 300 lux for 5 seconds,
the low power mode will clear/turn off and the lightbar will revert back to full intensity.

The photo sensor is subject to ambient light conditions of the specific environment for the vehicle and needs to be thor-
oughly tested by the installer to ensure proper light levels and delay are selected to provide the most effective operation
in different lighting conditions.

The photo sensor detects ambient light levels, so parking the vehicle under a bright street light during night-time use may
(CLEAR) turn off the photo sensor input. Likewise, driving though a dark tunnel during daytime use may (SET) the photo
sensor input. Ensure the operator of the vehicle is aware of such possible conditions and provide additional controls to the
breakout box to allow the operator the ability to manually over-ride the functions when required.

The photo sensor is located in the middle of the AutoDim / Mod ID module.

Changing the ambient light SET/CLEAR levels may be modified by updating the setting in the 'Photo Sensor' tab in the PC
Application.

The photo sensor controls may be updated by using the PC App. Refer to the PC App instructions for more detail.

LED MODULE REPLACEMENT


LED Module Replacement:
1. Remove top cover by removing screws.
2. Disconnect the harness of the module in question from the driver board.
3. Remove the entire light module being replaced.
4. Replacement modules should be connected to the mpower Connector port
on the AutoDim / Mod ID module.
5. Once the module is connected, the LED’s under the 10’s and 1’s labels on
the AutoDim / Mod ID module will flash Green to indicate to the module’s
ID number.
nFuse nForce
EXAMPLE: An ID of 20 will flash only the 10’s LED twice. Similarly an
ID of 2 will flash only the 1’s LED twice. An ID of 15 would flash the AUTODIM / MOD ID MODULE
10’s LED once then the 1’s LED 5 times.
6. To configure a new ID, quick press the 10’s button to add 10 to the current ID and/or press the 1’s button to add 1 to the current ID.
Pressing and holding the 10’s or 1’s button until the corresponding red LED goes off will subtract 10 or 1 respectively. Pressing and
holding both the 10’s and 1’s buttons at the same time and releasing once the red LED’s turn off will change the ID to 1.
7. Once the 10’s or 1’s buttons have been pressed the LED’s on the AutoDim / Mod ID module will change from green to red and flash
the potential new ID. If the ID flashes correctly press the SET button and it will configure the module to that ID. The LED’s on the
AutoDim / Mod ID module will now flash the module’s new ID in green. If the new module ID flashes in green correctly then the
module is ready to be connected to the bar.
EXAMPLE: If your module started out with ID 15 and the desired ID was 30 you would press the 10’s button once and the
1’s button 5 times(15 + 15 = 30.) Verify the 10’s LED flashes red 3 times(indicating ID 30) then press the SET button. After
the SET button is pressed the 10’s LED should flash green 3 times.
NOTE: The highest available ID is 60. Going past 60 will start back at 1 and going backwards from 1 will go to 60.
8. Replace the top cover and use the replacement screws that are included with the replacement module.
