whelen L31 led beacon flash patterns

[kohan25]

I recently picked up a L31 hrfn model beacon mfg 6/09 with red, black, grey, white/violet, white/orange wires. I followed the instructions for changing and resetting paterns but can only get a single flash or a quad flash pattern. Does this sound like a defective beacon? Is there any other ways to try and reset this that is not listed somewhere. Where is the flasher module on this light. Is it on the top of the board?

You have the NFPA approved version. This came with only those 2 patterns, but relax, those are definitely the most effective patterns,
75 single flash
75 Signalalert

Kohan, the beacon u acquired is a NFPA model, and those would be the only two patterns available to you unfortunately. Many of the patterns in standard L series beacons are not compliant especially the rotator ones where only a portion of the beacon is lit at a time. Hope this helps...
Happy Holidays

dumb question. can this light be modified to run steady and add an external multi pattern flasher?

I'd say no. You have 4 level cruise function, but even the brightest is not full power.
Like I said earlier, the brightest, most effective patterns are what you have now.
I have access to all patterns on my plow truck, and always end up going back to the "Signalalert" (eye catching, and most effective).
