Greetings from across the pond!
I have recently acquired a vehicle that has a blue light bar on top.
Upon powering it up only the front halogen worked flashing in sequence.
Having looked online it is apparent that I need a controller to fully utilise the light bar full capabilities.
I tried this evening to ascertain what the model number is, unfortunately, there is no label to be found either in or out.
It says edge on the perimeter of the blue lens, so I'm guessing it's a Whelen edge.
The strobe power supply model number is EB6 (attached picture )
The matrix board code is BFEBA0000
96 SERIES EDGE MATRIX BOARD is written on the top.
There a two cables supplying the light bar, one is just 3 wires, black -12VDc, red +12VDc & red +12VDc
The other cable is made up of 15 small wires, (see picture)
From what I have read on the internet, i gather that the 15 small wires are trigger wires. I tried previously to trigger each wire to +12VDc but this had no effect, after opening up the light bar, i found that there was a blown 25amp fuse on the supply cable to the strobe power supply from the matrix board.
After replacing the fuse, on power up the front right corner strobe worked, so i proceeded to try the trigger wires.
out of the 15 wires, only 5 worked
Violet - Low power mode
Yellow - Driver alley light
White - Passenger alley light
White/Black - Front takedown flashing
White/Red - Rear takedown flashing
I could not get any other strobes to work apart from the front right corner strobe, upon further investigation inside the light bar
I found that there was a spare male plug 6 pin on the bottom right corner of the matrix board ( See picture)
There is also an cable 8 pin cable plugged into the top right corner of the matric board but is unplugged at the other end ( see picture)
Near the strobe power supply, there is a 6-pin female socket unplugged ( see picture)
So would any of the above have an effect on why the rest of the strobes aren't working? and if not what might cause the fault?
In order to control the light bar could anybody recommend a suitable switch/power control box such as the PCC-S9?
I would also like to fit sirens so would having a combined siren light controller such as the Whelen 295SLSA6 work?
