STR-LB56AW Instruction Manual

Introduction

Your new Custer Products “Lite-it” light bar is designed with high impact PC lenses and individual 3-Watt LED modules. Each module is individually sealed to protect from moisture. Your light bar comes with a plug and play controller. Take the controller out of the box and mount it in the cab of your work truck or tow truck and plug the controller harness into the light bar harness. Hook up 12V power to the RED wire on the controller and the BLACK wire is your ground.

Working voltage: 12vdc

Current: 15A Max.

Your new light bar has a separate cable for your Stop/Tail/Turn lights. This cable has 4 wires in it. There is NO ground wire in this cable; your ground is made through the light bar controller hookup. Your wires are used as follows:

• BLACK is for your Tail Lights / Running Lights
• RED with YELLOW STRIPE is for your Brake lights
• RED with WHITE STRIPE is for your Right Turn Signal
• RED is for your Left Turn Signal

Your light bar can be permanently mounted to the vehicle, or it can be mounted with the included gutter clamps. Be careful when mounting to avoid scratching the vehicle.

NOTE: Your light bar has a microcomputer chip control. If your light bar ever goes into a loop or does not operate properly, you can reset the light bar by unplugging the power from the vehicle to the light bar for 10 seconds and then plugging the light bar back in.
