I. GENERAL.

The Cuda TriOptic Model 351012F is a LED light head

designed for use in conjunction with all Federal Signal

switch controllers. This light head is designed for mounting

on a vehicle’s interior, exterior or on a motorcycle. The

housing is comprised of an extruded aluminum proﬁle with

a front high-impact polycarbonate lens. The unit is supplied

with mounting hardware and a ﬁve-foot cable. This unit

has an operating temperature range of –30ºC to +65ºC (-

22°F to +149ºF). It may be mounted in the horizontal, or

vertical position with the cable exiting from the rear. The

physical dimensions of this unit are 6-inches long, 1.5-

inches wide by 1.75-inches high. End caps and the front

lens cover are compression sealed to the extruded housing

by means of gaskets. The unit also features stainless steel

hex machine screws and keps nuts for the channels on the

top, bottom and rear of the housing. The Cuda TriOptic

is programmed with eight ﬂash patterns selectable by a

control lead without opening the device. The light head

can also be user conﬁgured to be controlled by an external

ﬂashing device.

II. INSTALLATION.

This product is intended for supplemental

warning and for use in conjunction with

an approved primary warning light sys-

tem. Consult local codes and regulations to

determine if the power supply/ light head

combination complies with the horizontal or

vertical mount position desired in your ap-

plication.

When installing equipment inside air bag

equipped vehicles, the installer MUST ensure

that the equipment is installed ONLY in areas

recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Failure to observe this warning will reduce

the effectiveness of the air bag, damage the

air bag, or potentially damage or dislodge the

equipment, causing serious injury or death to

you or others.

A. Determine which side of the unit will be attached

to the mounting surface. From a horizontal orientation,

the top, bottom and rear surfaces of the unit are available

for mounting. The top and bottom surfaces each have one

mounting bolt channel and the rear surface has two (eee

ﬁgure 1). Choose the mounting channel that best suits your

application.

B. See ﬁgure 1. Locate the opening in the selected

mounting bolt channel and drop in two #8-32 hex head

screws.

Before drilling in ANY part of the vehicle, be sure

that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of

parts that could be damaged; such as brake lines,

fuel lines, electrical wiring or other vital parts.

C. Drill two 3/16” hole as needed for the #8-32

mounting screws. It is recommended that the screws be 3-

5” apart.

D. Secure the unit to the mounting surface using the

supplied keps nuts.

Install the control unit in an adequately ventilated

area. Never install near heater ducts.

After prolonged operation, the unit dissipates heat

and can cause burns. Do not hold the unit in your

hands for extended periods of time. Do not touch

the unit during, or shortly after, operation. Always

allow the unit to cool before handling.

III. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES.

NOTE

Powering multiple devices with a common con-

trol lead may cause one or more units to brieﬂy

remain functional after signal power is removed.

For example, due to high input ﬁlter capacitance,

a strobe supply can brieﬂy supply the current

required to operate a low current device such as a

Cuda TriOptic. If necessary, use a relay to isolate

devices with large ﬁlter capacitors. See ﬁgure 2 for

suggested schematic, all components and wires are

user-supplied.

The unit is intended to operate on a 12.8 VDC system.

It includes a jacketed 6 conductor cable. The 6 conductors

are: red (positive), black (negative), green (programming),

yellow (external ﬂash), orange (external ﬂash), and white

(not used). This unit is intended to work in conjunction

with all Federal Signal switch controllers.

A. Flashing Operation.

1. Cut and insulate the orange and yellow wires.

These are not used.

2. Connect the black wire to ground.

3. Using a user-supplied 3A fuse, connect the red

wire to a positive 12 VDC source.

4. This unit features 8 ﬂash patterns that are

selected by grounding the programming wire (green). The

ﬂash patterns are as follows:

a. Steady On

b. 120 FPM

c. 165 FPM

d. 240 FPM

e. 300 FPM

f. Combo 1:

4 intervals @ 120 FPM

10 intervals @ 300 FPM

g. Combo 2:

2 intervals @ 120 FPM

3 intervals @ 165 FPM

6 intervals @ 240 FPM

3 intervals @ 165 FPM

2 intervals @ 120 FPM

10 intervals @ 300 FPM

h. Combo 3:

1 interactive interval @ 120 FPM

2 intervals @ 120 FPM

6 intervals @ 240 FPM

14 intervals @ 480 FPM

6 intervals @ 240 FPM

2 intervals @ 120 FPM

1 interactive interval @ 120 FPM

After the desired pattern has been selected

connect the programming wire (green) directly to the

positive power wire (red).

The unit is designed to return to the last ﬂash

pattern selected before it was de-energized. For example,

if the unit is de-energized at the seventh ﬂash pattern

and then re-energized, the seventh pattern illuminates.

However, there is a two second delay for the unit to

remember the last ﬂash pattern. So, if the unit is energized

and functioning on the third ﬂash pattern and the unit

is switched to the fourth ﬂash pattern and de-energized

within two seconds, the unit will return to the third ﬂash

pattern when the unit is re-energized.

B. External Flashing Device Operation.

1. For a high side activated ﬂasher, use a user

supplied 3A fuse and connect the red and green wires to

the output control lead on the ﬂasher. Connect the black,

yellow, and orange wires to ground.

2. For a low side activated ﬂasher, use a user

supplied 3A fuse and connect the red and green wires to a

12V source. Connect the orange, black, and yellow wires to

the output control lead on the ﬂasher.

SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS

People’s lives depend on your safe use of our

products.

Listed below are some important safety in-

structions and precautions you should follow:

• Although your warning system is operat-

ing properly, it may not be completely ef-

fective. People may not see or heed your

warning signal. You must recognize this

fact and continue driving cautiously.

• Also, situations may occur which obstruct

your warning signal when natural or

manmade objects are between your vehi-

cle and others, such as: raising your hood

or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be

especially careful.

• This product contains high intensity LED

devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT

stare into the light beam at close range.

• At the start of your shift, you should en-

sure that the light is securely attached

and operating properly.

Failure to follow these safety precautions may

result in property damage, serious injury, or death to

you, to passengers, or to others.

IV. MAINTENANCE.

A. General.

Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause

reduced effectiveness of the light. Do not

use cleaning agents (which will cause craz-

ing) such as strong detergents, solvents, or

petroleum products. If crazing of lenses does

occur, reliability of light for emergency sig-

naling purposes may be reduced.

Ordinary cleaning of the plastic lenses can be

accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag. Should ﬁne

scratches or a haze appear on a lens, they can ordinarily

be removed with a non-abrasive, high-quality, one-step,

automotive paste cleaner/wax and a soft cloth.

B. Replacement Parts.

The unit must not be opened under any

circumstance, failure to adhere to this may result in

moisture entering into the unit causing premature failure.

Please contact the factory if the unit is not functioning

properly.
