930N Heliobe Mystery Trigger Wire

[WhelenNDealin]

I have a 930N Heliobe. I'm not sure which exact model it is. I've looked through all of the layout and flash pattern sheets on the Tomar website and I know what every trigger wire does except one. I've tried it in combination with others and nada.

It has a halogen t/d in the front center, split halogen/strobe alleys/corners and split halogen strobe/tds in the front inboards.

It has a traffic advisor function.

The wire in question is a second brown wire. One turns on the halogen t/ds in the split inboards on steady. The other does nothing. I've tried it with other wires and my best guess is that it's for a flasher.

Anybody know what this bloody thing does?

Just a guess based on a memory from long ago, but maybe something to do with traffic pre-emption if equipped?

Based on what I'd read in the flash pattern addendums, that's what it's looking like. I'll double check. Still a fun bar! A 950N would be a blast w/ selectable flash patterns!

Used to think that the Heliobe was one intensely ugly, ridiculous bar. It's no looker, but I've finally seen why they're so well liked.

They are a great and bright bar, just heavy and like the mars bars BIG. There is sooo many configurations, for that bar. Unfortunately, for most of them, and from the ones I worked on/had, the patterns it came with is what you got.
