    Does anyone have the pinout for the Whelen CC5K1 Canport cable?

    So, after a long wait ($$) I finally got the small parts to accompany the OBD Interface for my Cantrol. Using a hodgepodge of spacers, standoffs and a combination of adapted IC standoffs I got the board installed and recognized. (If it's ugly but it works and it's hidden, who cares). So I...

    Advice needed

    Hey y'all. Hope you're enjoying time with friends and family, getting great deals on sales, or both. Got a quick query about something my evil scientist brain came up with. As many of you who have followed my path of discovery know, I've been working on full duo B/A lights for my F150 for a...

    Wanted Anybody have XTL5000 parts?

    Looking for an O(dyssey) or M series 2500 or 5000 head with CHIB/TIB. I was given an older model 5000 with the W control, but wanted to update the control panel before ripping into my truck to install it. Thanks!

    The loooooongest bar I've ever seen.

    While I was out scoring the Whelen TA Bar, the seller asked if I wanted a frame. I said "Sure, lemme look at it". He reached around a stack of stuff and pulled out this monster: The rolling cooler as just over 6 feet tall, so that bar has to be 8'. I said it was bigger than any of the bars...

    Worth the drive!

    So I was browsing FBM and happened to see I verified the price and yep - $30. o_O:oops: I saw the oval body and expected plastic, but it's a TA836A aluminum halogen model. I'll keep the guts together and use the frame for a custom duo500 rear window bar connected to my CanTrol. Given that...

    Adding momentary _and_ push on/push off to single button in CanTrol?

    Hey folks - Despite my best efforts at resisting, I finally went with a CanTrol. I've been able to program the amber, blue and combo patterns I was hoping to and it looks awesome. (I'll post vids when It's a little more finished). Now that I'm fine tuning the system, I got a wild hair and...

    Wanted Looking for a TA control board

    Does anyone happen to have an internal control board/module from a Whelen TADF6 or 8 floating around? I believe it's called "Assembly, flasher, Duo TA" using p/n 01-0286753-00. That series didn't require the TADCTL1 or TACTL5 controller to work, instead using power to different trigger wires to...

    Wanted Traffic Advisor / TA control circuit/module?

    Hey all - Scrounged an MX700 and now I'm restoring it as a wall prop for my future SIL. It's the model with two outboard rotators, inboard strobes and a center white rotator. I'd like to add alley lights, takedowns, and TCL/intersection lights. ( I have to check and see how many wires are in...

    Wanted 3 head Whelen Dashmiser - intact or cases

    DMP3H / DM3H - looking to see if anyone has a line on two of these for a homebrew project I'm working on. It's a side thing so not looking for LNIB versions worthy of a collector's price, just trying to get an idea of pricing for a purchase in a few weeks. Thanks!

    Wanted Anybody got an extra Liberty Full Duo or Freedom WeCan I/O Board?

    Still working on my two color multi level lighting project, and short of buying a Cantrol or Core using one of the above I/O boards and a WeCan UCP seems like it will deliver the results I am looking for without having to spend $800+. All the ones I've seen on other sites have been single or...

    Liberty Model ID thread request?

    Would it be possible for the Whelen gurus to create a stickied thread that would help n00bs like myself identify models and features of the various Liberty bars? (Assuming there is a method to the madness of model numbering) I know "SC" (occasionally found as "BL") are serial "B-Link" bars, and...

    Ideas about Whelen Liberty Duo I/O Board as Brain Box?

    For those that have followed my random questions, You'll know my idea to have a 3-level dual color warning light system for my truck without a huge control head, preferably using a Unitrol switch box. (My first build had one, and I like 'em for sentimental reasons). Thinking about buying a used...

    Can you synchronize multiple Liberty I/O boards?

    So, as I've posted before, I'm on a quest to have a 3 level dual color LED setup that can run amber, blue or both in all three levels. I feel like I should change my screen name to Don Quixote... Anyway, rereading my thread about repurposing a WeCan control point and contemplating choices...

    Whelen WeCan repurpose?

    Okay, had a thought, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if I'm crazy (opr rather, crazier than normal). I'm still in the process of outfitting my F150. While I'm planning on utilizing a Unitrol 330, because I'm familiar with their operation and I had one in my first build (I'm nostalgic)...

    Two Whelen CenCom questions

    Finally getting a chance to post this - been a loooong day. o_O I've been looking at an all-in-one system for lighting control and siren. Looked at one of the Brookings/SoS 9-switch mini-panels, as well as some others like the Whelen PCCS9RW, but I don't want my truck overrun with farkle...

    Unicorn lighting - anyone familiar with them?

    Hey all - I found their products on Amazon, looked at their website, and they seem fairly decent (at least they're made in Taiwan not the PRC), and seem to have good reviews. That said, I realize they're not Feniex, FedSig, Whelen or one of the other domestic companies, so I figured I'd ask...

    Synchronizing between brands - Is it possible?

    While the easiest would simply be to buy a single brand for all the lights you're mounting on a vehicle, does anyone here know of different brands that will work together? I saw this post about setting all the units to steady burn and using an outside flasher, which is an option if it comes...

    Noob full o'questions: PVC or TXL insulation? Loom or cable? Plugs or crimps?

    Hey folks -figured I'd ask the folks that do this more than I do. I'm looking at setting up my new F150 with dual color LED's in amber (for my electrical business) and blue (for fire/EMS response). The new multi-color tech has made this seem achievable, if more expensive than a single-color...

    Howdy to y'all from Ill-annoys

    n00b checking in. Been a FF for a while, interested in emergency lighting since I used a 110 blinker and a red bulb playing Emergency with my sawhorse Squad 51 in my basement as a kid. Modded my Taurus with a Unitrol, wig-wags, back flashers, dash (a Five-O, which I really miss) and rear deck...
