Note: Use the corrected size wire for power connections.
The length of the wires determines the size needed.
1 to 15 ft. use 18AWG wire.
15 to 30 ft. use 16AWG wire.
30 to 45 ft. use 14AWG wire.
45 and over, use 12AWG wire.
The VIOLET wire selects the FLASH PATTERN. When the
VIOLET wire is momentarily connected to +12/24V EPSX404
will advance to the next flash pattern in the flash pattern list. The EPSX404 will remember the flash pattern you select from
the vehicle.
The VIOLET wire can be run to a momentary push-button
located inside the vehicle if you wish to change flash patterns
frequently.

POWER HARNESS
1) POWER CONNECTIONS
Check for corroded connections to +12/24V and Ground.
A bad connection will cause the voltage to drop at the
EPSX404. The EPSX404 will shut off if the voltage drops
below 10 Volts.
2) OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT.
The EPSX404 will shut down if there is a short circuit
condition on any one of the strobe heads. If the electrical
conductors connecting the power supply to the strobe heads are
exposed to water a short circuit will result. The first sign is
intermittent operation, followed by complete shutdown of the
strobe system. To find the short circuit, unplug all strobe head cables
from the EPSX404. Test one cable/head at a time until the problem is
found.Water shoring shows as a blue/green colored residue
where the short circuit has occurred.
