Frequently Asked Questions - VTG48A Epcom

How do I install the VTG48A lightbar on my vehicle?

The lightbar can be mounted permanently by drilling mounting holes and securing with bolts, or using a gutter mount kit. Ensure the mounting location is flat and provides at least 12 inches of clearance from the roof. Refer to the manual for detailed steps and torque specifications.

What are the electrical requirements for the lightbar?

The lightbar operates on 12-24 VDC. It must be connected to a separate fused power point. Use a 20A fuse for the power cable. The black wire should be grounded directly to the battery negative terminal.

How do I change the flash patterns?

Using the optional Basic Control Pad (EZ0006), double-press the SEL button to enter flash pattern select mode, then press again to cycle through patterns. With the Advanced Control Pad (EZ1202), double-press the Flash Pattern Select button. The lightbar stores the last pattern used.

Can I use the lightbar with a controller from another brand?

No, the lightbar is designed to work with the included or optional Epcom controllers (EZ0006 or EZ1202). Using incompatible controllers may damage the unit or cause malfunction.

How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Clean the polycarbonate lenses with mild soap and water or a dedicated lens polish using a soft cloth. Avoid solvents, abrasive cleaners, high-pressure washers, and automatic car washes to prevent scratching.

What should I do if some LED modules are not flashing?

First, check the power and ground connections. If the controller indicates the pattern is active, the issue may be an open circuit or failed LED module. Test with a known-good module. Replace the module if defective. Refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.

Is the lightbar compliant with emergency vehicle regulations?

The lightbar offers flash patterns compliant with SAE J595, California Title 13, and ECE R65 standards depending on the pattern selected. However, it is the user's responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws.

How do I replace a lens on the lightbar?

Remove the screws holding the lens in place, then carefully lift the lens off the seal. Store it safely to avoid scratches. To reinstall, place the lens over the seal and gently apply pressure around the edges, then replace and tighten the screws.

What is the warranty period and what does it cover?

The manufacturer provides a 60-month limited warranty from the date of purchase. It covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use. Damage from misuse, improper installation, or unauthorized modifications voids the warranty.

Can I use the lightbar in automatic car washes?

No, the manual warns against subjecting the lightbar to high-pressure washers or automatic car washes as they may damage the polycarbonate lenses and seals.

Permanent Mounting

1. Determine the location of the lightbar, and the best route for the wiring.
2. Determine the position of the mounting feet and drill the 5/16"-11/32" diameter mounting holes accordingly, if needed. The spacing of the mounting feet from left to right is adjustable. It is suggested that the positioning of the feet be symmetrical and near the curved edges of the roof where the roof is strongest. Ideally, the outermost holes on the feet should be used for installation. The inner holes on the feet match the hole locations for 15 series lightbar and can be used when one of these lightbars has been previously installed.
3. Mount the lightbar, with the bolts going through the holes drilled in step 2, routing the wire as planned in step 1 (refer to diagram). See the Wiring section of this manual for further wiring instructions. Install washers and nuts and secure the unit.

Gutter Mounting

Important!

Mounting brackets are specific to the vehicle model. Please make sure the brackets are suitable for the vehicle before installation.

1. Remove mounting foot. Position bracket onto nubs of the foot.
2. Holding the bracket and foot together, insert the cage nut as shown. It will fit snugly underneath the mounting foot. Do not install it on the outside face.
3. Install the mounting feet in reverse order of their removal. The metal bracket will be sandwiched between the bar and the composite mounting foot. Adjust the spacing of the mounting feet before securely tightening the nuts.
4. Hand thread the M6 bolt through the star washer and mounting strap into the cage nut. Be careful not to cross thread the bolt, and leave loose until later steps.
5. Once the bar is in position, use the strap as a template to drill ∅1/8" holes. It may be necessary to pull back the door sealing gasket or trim. Apply silicone or sealant around the hole, behind the strap. Secure the straps with the provided #10 stainless steel sheet metal screws with washers as shown. Screws should be tightened around 5-10 in-lb.
6. Tighten the M6 bolts evenly so that the bar is even and centered. Reinstall any removed trim and/or weather-stripping and close doors to check secure fit of the lightbar.

Wiring Instructions:

Important!

This unit is a safety device and it must be connected to its own separate, fused power point to assure its continued operation should any other electrical accessory fail. Do not wire in parallel with any other accessory.

Notes:

1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g., under-hood) will significantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.

CAUTION!

Disconnect the battery before wiring up the lightbar, to prevent accidental shorting, arcing and/or electrical shock.

General Wiring Instructions

Before attempting to connect the lightbar wiring harness, refer to the wiring diagram illustrated below. The wiring diagram describes the function for each separate wire.

1. Route the lightbar power cable's red wire to a fused, ignition-switched power point. Connect the black wire to a solid ground connection on the vehicle (ideally, directly to the battery negative terminal). Use a fuse according to the wiring diagram.
2. After the lightbar has been mounted, route the control cable into the vehicle to the switch panel/controller location.
3. Connect the wires of the lightbar wiring harness to the switched side of each switch, or plug into optional controller. See the wiring diagram for wire color/function legend.
4. Use cable ties and grommets to secure and protect all cables and wires.

To mount the control pad with Velcro, separate the two circular halves, remove the backing and adhere one piece on the vehicle dashboard and adhere the other to the back of the control pad. To mount the control pad using the swivel mount, first mount the swivel unit to the dashboard with either the supplied screws (note, the suction cup will not work after drilling screws through the swivel base) or by turning the lever at the base of the swivel unit to engage the suction cup. Push the control pad onto the swivel slide and press the control pad down onto the slide until it engages the slot in the control pad. (You may need to turn the control pad clockwise once engaged with the slide to tighten it.) Turn the dial on the swivel head to tighten it against the back of the control pad. Finally, loosen the hand screw on the swivel neck to adjust the angle of the control pad. Hold the pad in the desired position while tightening the hand screw on the swivel neck.

Advanced Control Pad Mounting:

The advanced control pad is supplied with three mounting options: a bracket, VHB tape and hook and loop patch. The rear of the control pad is designed to allow for the cable exit to be routed five different ways to maximize installation locations. Mount the control pad in a location within convenient reach of the operator so that s/he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
