So another project I have at my other department will be updating the older style Fed Signal LEDs with more updated Whelen 600s. The lights are a direct swap as they're both 6x4 lights. The issue I have is I need to change the flash pattern on the current setup the truck has. I need to set it to either a slow single flash or steady burn pattern. I believe I've located the flasher modules but I have never seen these before. I think it's the ES-Key Class 1 system. I have no idea how to change the flash pattern on this thing. Any of you ever seen this before?

what type engine ?
All of our e-ones have shitty federal leds and there all hot, no flasher. Fronts are synced and rear are synced by themselves. Had to change fender lights out and talked the shop into Whelen. plugged them up and they were just hot. So i was able to change the patterns on those two to what i wanted

You know, it hasn't even occurred to me to check if they're constant hot. I think there are 3 wires coming off each lighthead which would lead me to believe one is just a sync wire. I just assumed they're on a flasher since they all appear to be sync'd. I'll have to check on this Wednesday. They're E- one Typhoons. Think they're a 2008 I believe.

Same here. Our old downtown trucks had the old strobes on them which I swapped out for the 600 led series. The new downtown trucks came with the 600 LEDs all over it. It's our two outlying station trucks that have these crappy lights on them.

let me know what you find out.

So I just took one of the lights off to see what we had. It is definitely the Mod1x modules and there are 3 wires coming into the light. A Red, orange and black. Black obviously ground. The red and orange wire both flash though. So neither of them is steady hot. Any ideas??

No problem. Ya, i'm not real sure. I guess I'll just set the 600s to steady burn so they'll just flash with then flasher I guess. But I'm with you - i'd think the red would be steady hot then the orange would be the flasher wire.
