1. Description
The Opticom™ Infrared System Model 795 Low-Profi le LED
Emitter is a LED preemption emitter designed for use in low
profi le light bars.* This product is intended for use only inside
of a light bar. It is not intended to be installed in an unprotected
environment.
The Model 795 is intended to be installed by Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) or an OEM approved
light bar installer only. This document is intended for use by
OEM and their approved installers only. This manual is not
intended for use by end users. The OEM should modify its
lightbar manuals to document proper programming, testing,
use, and maintenance of the Model 795 and provide this
information to the end users.
2. Intended Use
The system is intended to assist authorized priority vehicles
through signalized intersections by providing temporary right-of-
way through vehicle operator interface to the system and through
the use of common traffi c controller functions.
3. OEM Technical Support
If the OEM has questions about the use, installation or operation
of the Model 795, please contact the Global Traffi c Technologies
(GTT) Technical Service department at 1-800-258-4610.
OEMs should direct their end customers to the OEM technical
support contacts in order to answer specifi c questions about how
the Model 795 is installed and wired into their lightbars.
*The method of using the components of the Opticom™ Infrared
system may be covered by U.S. Patent Number 5172113. Other
U.S. and foreign patents pending.
5. Connector Details
The Model 795 is equipped with a 7.5” pigtail with an 8-pin Tyco/AMP
connector. The OEM shall provide the harness to mate with the Model
795 connector.
The part numbers to construct a mating connector are:
Connector Shell: Tyco /AMP, 794941 Qty 1
Connector Pins: Tyco/AMP, 770903 Qty 7
Bulk cable is available from GTT in 1000’ spools. The part number
of this cable is 79-1000-0182-0. If this cable is not used, GTT
recommends that stranded wire 18-22 AWG with colors matching the
Model 795 cable be used when building a mating harness. All seven
wires should be included in the mating harness to provide all
possible functions to the end user.
Power should be connected to a point that will provide suffi cient
voltage and current.
A 1 amp fuse is required to protect vehicle wiring (not included).
6. Connector Pin Out
•RED wire is used to supply +12 Vdc to power the emitter
•BLACK wire is used to provide DC power ground
•WHITE wire is the input for the disable feature (See section 9)
•GREEN wire is a DC return for an indicator light (See section 10)
•GRAY and BLUE wires are used for J-1708 communications (See
Section 11)
•ORANGE wire is used for range setting. This wire is typically
not used in emergency vehicles. GTT recommends that this wire
be pinned out but left unconnected.
Install a 1-amp fuse in series with the red
wire. Failure to install the correct size fuse
may damage the unit and vehicle wiring and
void the warranty.
