I. GENERAL.

The Cuda TriOptic Model 351016F is an LED light

head designed for use in conjunction with all Federal Signal

switch controllers. These lightheads are 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 units are

supplied with mounting hardware and a ﬁfteen-foot cable.

These units have an operating temperature range of –30ºC

to +65ºC (-22°F to +149ºF). They may be mounted in the

horizontal, or vertical position with the cable exiting from

the rear. The physical dimensions of the 351014F units are

8.0-inches long, 1.5-inches wide by 1.75-inches high. The

physical dimensions of the 351016F units are 11.5-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 without opening the unit.

you or others.

1. 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 (see

ﬁgure 1). Choose the mounting channel that best suits

your application.

2. 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.

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

mounting screws. It is recommended that the screws be

5-8” apart.

4. 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 9 conductor cable. The 9 conductors

are shown in table 1.

This unit is intended to work in conjunction with all

Federal Signal switch controllers.

A. Flashing Operation.

1. Cut and insulate the yellow, violet, white and

brown wires. These are not used.

2. Connect the black wire to ground.

3. Using a user-supplied 5A fuse, connect the red

and orange wires to a positive 12 VDC source.

4. This unit features 8 ﬂash patterns per module

that are selected by grounding the programming wires

(blue or 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:

3 intervals @ 165 FPM

6 intervals @ 240 FPM

STROBE SUPPLY

After the desired pattern has been selected

connect the programming wires (blue and green) directly to

the positive power wires (red and orange respectively).

Each module is designed to return to the

last ﬂash pattern selected before it was de-energized.

For example, if a module is de-energized at the seventh

ﬂash pattern and then re-energized, the seventh pattern

illuminates. However, there is a two second delay for a

module to remember the last ﬂash pattern. So, if a module

is energized and functioning on the third ﬂash pattern and

the module is switched to the fourth ﬂash pattern and de-

energized within two seconds, the module will return to the

third ﬂash pattern when the module is re-energized.

B. External Flashing Device Operation.

1. High side activated ﬂasher

a. Connect the black, yellow, violet, white

and brown wires to ground.

b. Using a user supplied 3A fuse connect the

red and blue wires to one output leg of the ﬂasher. Using a

user supplied 3A fuse connect the orange and green wires

to the other output leg of the ﬂasher.

2. Low side activated ﬂasher

a. Connect the black, yellow and violet wires

to ground.

Figure 2.

b. Using a user supplied 3A fuse, connect the

red, orange, blue and green wires to a switched positive 12

VDC source to eliminate standby current.

c. Connect the white wire to one output leg

of the ﬂasher. Connect the brown wire to the other output

leg of the ﬂasher.
