That grey (Sync) wire.

[Statie458]

Hi folks, I have a bit of a tech question that I hope someone could provide some insight. But just to give everyone an idea of what I'm running:

1, First and foremost all equipment I have installed is made by Whelen.

2, I Have a HHS2200 that powers two ULF44. (Let call them A: for the front and B: for the rear)

A, powers all the front lights which consist of 6 Microns.

B, The second ULF44 powers all the rear equipment, that consists of six Ions in the rear deck. Eight vertex's (vertexi?) in the rear trunk lid and rear corner lights. And, finely two microns by the rear license plate.

Every light head was set to steady burn before installation with the idea I could change flash patterns with the remote. So on the remote I have Back, Front and All. I programed the HHS2200 to have three of the outlets set to momentary on/off. I then fed those outlets via a splice to both of the ULF44's input terminals to control Low Power, Pattern Override, and Scan-Lock™ features. I then wired the two ULF44 Sync terminals to each other.

So the question I have is would there be anything beneficial by connecting every individuals light heads Grey SYNC wire together and then to their respective ULF44 controller, the way I have the car wired up now works well but I was wondering if could I get more out of the equipment I have?

I'm a novists on this stuff at best so any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again.

No, if your lightheads are being flashed by a ULF, do not hook up the sync wires on the lightheads.

You are actually lucky that you decided to go the ulf route, because you couldn’t sync that many lightheads together anyways. I forgot the number that Whelen recommends can be synced together, I think it was 8. I know that you can successfully sync a few more than that, but personally, I tried to sync 16 lightheads, and it doesn’t work, the lightheads will no longer sync.

Thank you for the reply!
Should I remove the sync wire from ULF A and B or it doesn't really matter?

I would leave the sync wire between the two ULFs connected. If you disconnect that wire, your fronts will become out of sync with the rears, which isn’t a big deal, but I prefer all lights synced when possible.

Awesome thank your for your help, I really appreciate it!
