5. Installation
The Maxxima M63201Y light is designed for grommet mounting and uses a standard 3-pin connector for power and pattern selection.
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat, secure surface on your vehicle that allows for proper visibility and protection of the light. Ensure there is sufficient space behind the mounting surface for wiring.
- Prepare Mounting Hole: Cut an oval hole in the mounting surface to accommodate the grommet and light. The grommet should fit snugly into the hole.
- Insert Grommet: Press the provided grommet into the prepared hole.
- Wire Connections: The light typically uses a standard 3-pin connector. Identify the wires for power (positive), ground (negative), and pattern selection/synchronization. Connect these wires to your vehicle's electrical system, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections. Use appropriate gauge wiring and fuses as required by your vehicle's electrical system.
- Insert Light into Grommet: Carefully push the LED warning flasher light into the grommet until it is fully seated and secure.
6. Operation
The Maxxima M63201Y features 6 selectable flash patterns and auto-select dual voltage (12/24 VDC).
- Power On/Off: Apply 12V or 24V DC power to the designated power and ground wires to turn the light on. Remove power to turn it off.
- Changing Flash Patterns: The flash patterns are typically changed by momentarily applying power to a specific control wire (often a third wire on the 3-pin connector) or by cycling the main power to the light. Refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your product for exact instructions on pattern selection. Each momentary power pulse or cycle will advance to the next pattern.
- Synchronization: If installing multiple lights, they may be capable of synchronized or alternating flashing. This usually involves connecting a synchronization wire between the lights. Consult the wiring diagram for detailed instructions on synchronization.
