rubber gasket must be installed between the mounting surface
and the light body.
Be sure to install the plastic washer first on each mount screw.
Use extra caution to prevent this product from falling during
installation.
Find the following items provided with the light unit:
•2 each: #8 x 7/8”
self-tapping screws
•2 each: #8 plastic washers
•2 each: #8 x ½”
machine screws
•2 each: #8 metal washers
•2 each: #8 hex nuts

Locate a flat surface on which to mount your LP8US unit.
Using the dimensional drawings below, measure and drill pilot holes for the two
mounting screws as well as the ½”
diameter hole on center for the cable to pass
through.
Make sure to de-burr any rough edges of the ½”
hole so the cable will not be damaged.
Insert the control cable through the gasket, then through the ½”
diameter hole on
center. Align the unit and gasket.
Use either the machine screws or the self-tapping screws as chosen for this installation.
Install the plastic washer first, next to the screw head.
Finish the mounting by tightening the screws and/or washers and nuts as applicable.
Do not over-tighten

5. ID Number Selection
DO NOT connect this device to a strobe power supply!
First, depending on the Operation Mode desired you will need to set the ID
Number for each LP8US unit as applicable.
One Light: For operating the LP8US unit by itself or independently of other lights, set the
ID Number to 1.
Alternating Two Lights
: For operating two LP8US units to flash back and forth, set the
ID
Number of one unit to 1; set the ID Number of the other unit to 2.
Simultaneous Two, Three or Four Lights
: For operating 2-4 LP8US units to flash the
same pattern Set the ID Number of all units to 1.
Four Lights X-Pattern
: Four LP8US units can be arranged physically so they flash an “X”
pattern. Set the ID Number of each unit: Set unit 1 to ID #1; unit 2 to ID#2; unit 3 to
ID#3; unit 4 to ID#4.
As you can see from the Pattern Table in Section 6, not all patterns are available for
certain Operation Modes.

Operating Mode
Once the ID Number for each unit is set, they may be wired for operation
according to the Operating Mode selected for the application.
Decide if you want to have a Pattern Select switch available. This may be useful if
you plan to switch patterns often.
If you are not using a Pattern Select switch, be sure to insulate the white wire when
finished, to prevent unexpected pattern changes if the wire accidentally shorts to
ground (-).
For all multiple-unit operations, select the same pattern for each unit before wiring.
This procedure is the same as for the One-Light Operating Mode.
Connect the same color wires of unit 1 and unit 2; RED to RED, WHITE to WHITE
and BLACK to BLACK. Now when you sequence through the patterns with the
Pattern Select switch as shown below, both units will show the same pattern.
Stop sequencing when you see the pattern you want. After this, the lights will flash this
pattern when power is applied.

Set the ID of one unit to ID#1
and the second unit to ID#2
(See Section 5).
For each unit, momentarily connect WHITE to
BLACK. Repeat until desired pattern is found.
Set each unit to the same pattern.
3. For operation of 2 -
4 units simultaneously:
Set the ID of all units to 1 (See Section 5).
For each unit, momentarily connect
WHITE to BLACK. Repeat until desired
pattern is found. Set each unit to the
same pattern.
Connect the same color wires of all units;
RED to RED, WHITE to WHITE and BLACK
to BLACK.
Now when you sequence through the
patterns with the Pattern Select switch as
shown, all units will show the same
pattern.
Stop sequencing when you see the pattern
you want. After this, the lights will flash
this pattern when power is applied.
1. Operation as a single unit:
4. For operation of 4 units as an ‘X-Pattern’:
Connect the same color wires of each unit; RED to RED, WHITE
to WHITE and BLACK to BLACK as in section 3 above
Arrange unit placement as shown:
Sequence is 1 –

Unit Arrangement
The LP8US is capable of being activated through the use of a user-supplied flasher by
putting the unit in Slave Mode.
Permanently connect the WHITE and BLACK wires to 0V (-).
Connect the RED wire through a 5A fuse to the output of a DC10V-30V switching
flasher.
