Frequently Asked Questions - PCL-LED-VV Code 3

How do I install the PCL-LED-VV light bar?

Mount the light bar using the included brackets on a flat surface. Connect the red wire to 12-24V DC positive, black to ground. For synchronization, connect the sync cable between multiple units. Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps and safety precautions.

What flash patterns are available?

The PCL-LED-VV features 55 selectable flash patterns, including steady burn, alternating, and random. Patterns can be cycled by tapping the power wire or using a separate control module.

How do I change the flash pattern?

To change patterns, momentarily disconnect and reconnect power to the light bar (tap the power wire). Each tap advances to the next pattern. Some models allow pattern selection via a pattern selector or remote control.

Can I synchronize multiple light bars?

Yes, the PCL-LED-VV supports synchronization using the included sync cable. Connect the sync ports of two or more units to make them flash in unison or in alternating patterns.

What voltage range does the light bar support?

The light bar operates on 12V to 24V DC systems, making it compatible with most vehicles, including cars, trucks, and emergency vehicles. Check your vehicle's electrical system before installation.

Is the light bar weatherproof?

Yes, the PCL-LED-VV has an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary submersion in water. It is suitable for outdoor use in rain, snow, and dust.

How do I clean and maintain the light bar?

Clean the lens with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the polycarbonate lens. Check mounting bolts periodically for tightness and inspect wiring for wear.

What are the dimensions of the PCL-LED-VV?

The light bar measures 48 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.75 inches tall. Weight is approximately 5 lbs. It is designed to fit most vehicle roofs and light bars.

What certifications does this light bar have?

The PCL-LED-VV is certified to SAE J595 Class 1 (USA) and ECE R65 (Europe) standards for emergency warning lights. It meets legal requirements for use on emergency vehicles.

Can I use this light bar on a civilian vehicle?

Check local laws before installing any emergency lighting on a civilian vehicle. In many jurisdictions, red and blue lights are reserved for emergency responders. Amber or white lights may be allowed for work vehicles. Always consult your local regulations.

USER MANUAL PCL-LED-VV Code 3

IMPORTANT! Read all instructions before installing and using. Installer: This manual must be delivered to the end user.

Mounting Instructions:

1. Using the mounting diagram below, cut the mounting holes for the light.
2. Feed the lamp assembly wires through the hole shown below. The WHITE wire is for bright, the RED wire is for dim and the BLACK wire is for ground and low power operation. Use appropriate wire connectors.
3. Insert the lamp into the mounting hole. Be sure no wires are caught between the mounting surface and the lamp unit.
4. Attach the lamp to the roof of the vehicle using appropriate size screws.

Warning: You can not have insulation of any kind covering the back of the light head. This will cause excessive heat to build up!

WARNING!

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). 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. Use "SXL" type wire in engine compartment. 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. 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. 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. Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery. The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should carry a maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
