I just acquired a Whelen Edge 9000 8 head strobe lightbar and I hate to have to post another Edge 9000 thread but I'm at a loss here. I have always messed with halogen bars so this is new to me and really don't want to mess anything up. I have searched the forums and read various people's posts with their 9000 wiring but I haven't found anybody with my configuration yet. I tried the Whelen manual website for the lightbar models and couldn't find anything there either. I'm guessing part of the problem I am having is that I do not have a model number for the bar itself and thus taking stabs in the dark here. So, with that being said, he are the facts:


Whelen Edge 9000 - It's equipped with 4 corner strobes, 2 front strobes, 2 rear strobes, 2 halogen front takedowns, 2 halogen rear flashers, and 2 alley lights:

As you can see, the printing from the bottom of the Edge bar for the model and serial numbers are missing - I'm assuming due to the outside elements. I can barely make out a few numbers on the serial number from the impressions of the writing but the model number is totally gone.

The power supply is a Model EB6 with a SN number of 4783:

It had 2 wire looms/covers coming from the bottom - 1 smaller with SIX 16 AWG wires and 1 larger with FOURTEEN 16/18 AWG wires. There was barely any gray loom/cover left so I cut it off to see what I had to work with:

The smaller SIX wire configuration (all 16 AWG) contains the following SOLID color wires:


1 RED wire


1 BLUE wire


1 GREEN wire


1 BLACK wire


1 ORANGE wire


1 WHITE wire

The larger FOURTEEN wire configuration contains the following color wires but there was a "seperate" shrouded wire pair in that loom. I believe this to be the speaker wires for a siren as they were roped together? The TWELVE wires not in the rope configuration are as follows:


1 WHITE wire (18 AWG)


1 BLUE wire (18 AWG)


1 RED wire (16 AWG)


1 GREEN wire (18 AWG)


1 GRAY wire (18 AWG)


1 BLACK wire (16 AWG)


1 ORANGE wire (18 AWG)


1 BROWN wire (18 AWG)


1 YELLOW wire (18 AWG)


1 PURPLE wire (18 AWG)


1 WHITE/BLACK stripe wire (16 AWG)


1 RED/BLACK stripe wire (16 AWG)

The TWO roped BLACK and WHITE wires (16 AWG):

If you all could provide me with ANY information, it would be GREATLY appreciated. All I currently know about it is that it was working with it came off the cruiser this past summer but has been sitting on a shelf since. Thank you for looking at this post and helping in any way possible.

You don't HAVE to post another thread, you could have posted in an existing thread! :no:
 
whelen 9400 series


black and white black are grounds, everything else is positive. if its 8 strobe, red and red/black are strobe pack constant positives. if you open up the bar and look at the plug, its easy to verify this. one side of the plug is negative, the other is positive. usually blue, green, gray are strobe activations. the biggest thing is do not touch a ground to positive, it will ruin a power pack possibly.
