Wiring: Connecting Wires to the Battery

WARNING! If you are supplying your own wiring that connects to the positive or negative terminal of the battery, fuse sizes must be sized accord-

ing to STL’s provided fuse to be considered fused properly to the battery in order to carry the load.

• Route the power cables by opening the wiring shield and running the cables through it towards your vehicle’s rewall.

• Follow the factory wiring harness through the rewall.

• If it is necessary to drill a hole in the rewall for the power cables, be sure no components will be damaged from drilling. As with all holes

that are drilled, le the edges down smooth and insert a grommet to protect the cables.

• Route the cable along the factory wiring harness towards the battery.

• Wire your power cables (Red with In Line Fuse (STL Supplied) and Black cable) to your battery to power up your Light Bar.

• You will want to ensure your grounding cable is taken directly to the negative terminal of your battery to avoid any electrical feedback

which may disrupt your Light Bar system.

• DO NOT allow the positive (Red wire) and negative (Black wire) to touch one another. This may cause injury to you and damage your equip-

ment by causing a short in the unit that is not covered under the STL warranty.

Wiring: Connecting Wires to Control Box

• This unit will feature a power harness with eight (8) colored leads with a connector that plugs into the Direct Control® Box. When not utiliz

ing the Direct Control® Box reference the Wiring Diagram above.

• Now that you have pulled the cable into the vehicle attach the connector back to your Light Bar’s wire harness in the CORRECT positions

using a pin pusher and plug it into your Direct Control® Box. If you do not know the correct position of each wire in the connector call cus-

tomer service at 800-757-2581 before proceeding.

• If you did not purchase the Direct Control® Box and are using your own switch box , wire the cables accordingly into your control panel by

referencing the wiring diagram and instruction manual of your control panel.

Wiring: Connecting Extension Cables

• This unit will feature a power harness with eight (8) colored leads with a connector that plugs into the Direct Control® Box.

• If you have an extension cable with connectors, connect the corresponding ends to one another. Use the connector at the end of the cable

to plug into your control box.

• If you have an extension cable with one connector, you will need to cut the connector o of the main cable harness coming out of the Light

Bar. Save it as a spare part. You will solder, and heat shrink each wire within the cable harness to each wire in the extension cable harness.

DO NOT cross connect wires. Use the connector at the end of the extension cable to plug into your control box.

• If you have an extension cable with no connectors, you will need to cut in the middle of the main cable harness coming out of the Light

Bar. You will solder, and heat shrink each wire within the cable harness to each wire in the extension cable harness. DO NOT cross connect

wires. Use the connector at the end of the main cable harness to plug into your control box. DO NOT leave connectors, cables, solder points

exposed to heat or moisture or debris.

Programming Flash Patterns

• All STL LED products are equipped with a non-volatile memory which will recall the last ash pattern when the Light Bar is turned on.

• Set your ash pattern by pushing the Flash Pattern button on your Direct Control® Box to cycle through the various patterns until you nd

the appropriate pattern.

• If you are not using the Direct Control® Box you will follow the wiring diagram to identify the Flash Pattern wire to manually run through

and select the desired ash pattern.

Maintenance

While STL’s Light Bars are very durable, there are some things you need to keep in mind and practice to preserve the longevity and function of

your bar.

• Never take any STL Light Bars through a car wash, such as a pressure washer, automatic car wash, brushes that will scratch your equipment

or similar car washes or equipment where chemicals, high pressure water, and materials may scratch or damage your equipment.

• Use Water (H2O) with a soft cloth to clean your Light Bar and lenses.

• Yellowing of clear lenses may occur overtime. Lenses can be purchased by calling STL Customer Service at 800-757-2581.
