WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAR SWITCH #SP3860-4
(ON/OFF)(ON/OFF)(ON/OFF)(ON/OFF) Switches
1. IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your
new switch. This instruction sheet applies only to the model #SP3860-4. The
#SP3860-4 is designed to operate four warning lights or strobe packs.
2. CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These
lights are polarity protected only if the appropriate fuses are used. All wires
connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for
their rated load, in addition to the fuse provided at the switch panel. Testing the
light before these fuses are properly installed will void the warranty on the
switch and light.
3. The black wire from terminal 3 of Switch 1 is the ground lead and should be
connected to a good chassis ground.
4. The black wires from all four warning lights should be connected to good
chassis grounds.
5. Connect the red wire from terminal 2 of Switch 1 to the red wire from one of your
warning lights.
6. Connect the blue wire from terminal 2 of Switch 2 to the red wire from the
second warning light.
7. The orange wire from terminal 2 of Switch 3 should be connected to the red wire
from your third warning light.
8. The green wire from terminal 2 of Switch 4 should be connected to the red wire
from your fourth warning light.
9. Connect the fused red wires from terminal 1 of Switch 1 and from terminal 1 of
Switch 3 to the positive side of the 12VDC power through a 10, 15, or 20 amp
fuse, depending upon the total current draw of the lights you are installing. Be
sure to check the label on the warning lights for proper voltage and current.
10. When properly installed, Switch 1 will be on the left side of the switch panel
(front view) and turn your first strobe light on and off, Switch 2 will be second
from the left and turn the second warning light on and off, Switch 3 will be third
from the left on the switch panel and turn the third warning light on and off, and
Switch 4 will be on the right and turn your fourth warning light on and off.
