INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODELS
200CF, 200CFD, 200CFQ, and 200JF
IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new strobe light. This
instruction sheet applies only to the Star models listed above.
CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights are polarity protected
only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be
fused at the battery for their rated load. Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will
void the warranty on the light.
Your new Star warning light comes complete with a foam mounting gasket, three mounting screws, three
lock washers, and three rubber well nuts.
Remove the foam gasket from the shipping box. Each gasket comes furnished with three outer holes.
(NOTE: You might have to stretch the gasket to find the location of the three holes).
Place the gasket in the exact position the light is to be mounted. Using the gasket as a template, mark the
three outer holes and a hole in the center for your wires on the mounting surface. Take care to ensure that
the gasket does not move while you are marking each of the four holes.
Remove the gasket and drill a 3/8" hole in the four marked locations. CAUTION: Take care not to drill
through the headliner of the vehicle below.
Push the enclosed rubber well nuts through the three outer holes until the bottom side of the wider lip
rests on the surface of the vehicle.
Place the light on the surface of the vehicle, routing the wires through the center hole in the gasket and
then the center hole in the mounting surface. Align the three holes in the flange of the light with the three
outer holes in the gasket and the three rubber well nuts in the mounting surface. Install the three screws
through the flange and gasket, into the well nuts. Tighten until snug.
The black wire is the ground lead and should be connected to a good chassis ground.
10.
For model 200CFD or 200CFQ skip to Step 11. For the 200CF and 200JF proceed as follows:
Connect the red wire to the positive side of the power through a single-pole, two position switch (available
from Star part #SP3860-1) and a 5 Amp fuse. Skip the remaining step.
11.
For the 200CFD or 200CFQ
Low power only operation: Leave the purple wire unconnected and place a wirenut on the end.
High power only operation: Connect the purple wire to ground with the black wire.
HIGH/LOW operation: Refer to the wiring diagram on the reverse side of this sheet for proper
connections using a two-switch switch-panel available from Star. (Ask
for Part # SP3860-2H).
