C.I.D. Operational Guidelines Be aware that any end user modifications to the C.I.D., other than those specifically directed by this manual, may void the product warranty. Under no circumstances will it be necessary for the end user to access any internal components of the C.I.D. REQUIREMENTS The C.I.D. (Controller Interface Device) is designed to integrate 911 Emergency Products’ Millennium LED Light Bar with your vehicle’s existing light bar control system. The minimum operational requirement for the C.I.D. is a constant, properly fused, +12VDC electrical system with a common ground, which can be found in most modern vehicles. Minimum requirements regarding the installation and mounting of the C.I.D. need to be followed and maintained while using this product. There are moisture-sensitive electronics inside of the C.I.D. It should be installed in the vehicle's interior (such as the dashboard or trunk) away from all moving parts and heating sources. C.I.D. OPERATION The C.I.D. controls the Millennium, providing a 12-input Single Pole Single Throw switch control. Through these 12 generic Single Pole Single Throw switches the user can control the flash patterns for the leading and trailing edges, the directional patterns and halogen lighting. C.I.D. INPUT CONNECTION In order to activate an input pin on the C.I.D. (turn on a desired flash pattern), apply +12VDC to the corresponding pin (see figure 1). For example, if you wish to activate the “Front Warning” pattern, a constant +12VDC needs to be applied to the designated input pin (pin 1) on the C.I.D. To achieve the flash patterns designated to pins 1 through 9 a proper +12VDC electrical connection needs to be established. The remaining three patterns need to be integrated within the vehicles current stop, turn and tail electrical lighting system. SWITCH BOX REQUIREMENTS The C.I.D. is designed to be compatible with almost any control system. The minimum specifications the control box must provide are as follows: 1) The control box must supply 1 Amp fused +12VDC when activated (in the on position). 2) A high impedance (open circuit - no connection) must be provided when switched in the off position. 3) Switch box must be able to handle a current draw of approximately 10mA. ESTABLISHING PROPER C.I.D. PLUG CONNECTION Parts included with the C.I.D. should include: 1. A single four-position C.I.D. plug 2. Two gold C.I.D. plug contacts 3. An 18 inch black 18 awg cable (ground) with a gold contact already crimped to the wire. (This wire should already be inserted into the plug.) 4. An 18 inch red 18 awg cable (power) with a gold contact already crimped to the wire. (This wire should already be inserted into the plug.) 5. The C.I.D. enclosed assembly. DO NOT OPEN! (C.I.D. housing and circuit board contain no user serviceable components.)

C.I.D. PLUG CONNECTION (CONT’D) The communication cable assembly should be routed from the Millennium through the vehicle to the C.I.D. mounting location. The black and red communication wires will need to have the jacket stripped back approximately 3/32” (.094 inches). Once stripped, the gold contacts must be securely crimped (see figure 3). When crimping the wire to the gold contact, ensure that the inner tab on the contact secures the conductor strands. The second outer tab must secure the wire jacket. The conductor strands should be soldered to the crimped contact to strengthen the crimp and reduce any possibility of the wire releasing from the contact crimp. Once each communication wire has been properly routed, stripped, and crimped, insert each wire into the C.I.D. plug according to figure 2. Ensure the locking tab on the contact is secured and properly positioned in the locking window of the C.I.D. plug. CONNECTION FROM SWITCH TO C.I.D. 1. Ensure that all connections from the Millennium to C.I.D. have been effectively established at the C.I.D. plug (see figure 2). 2. During normal operation, the indicator LEDs on the C.I.D. should display the following: The green LED should be steadily illuminated, and the amber LED should be blinking. 3. Determine which wires on your switch box output positive voltage by checking each wire and matching it to the activated switch. 4. Once output pins have been identified, match output wires on the switch box with the input pins located on the top edge of the C.I.D. (see figure 1). For example, if you want to assign the switch furthest to the left on the switch box to control the “Front Warning” pattern: a) Locate the output port/wire that is controlled by that switch. b) Establish a proper electrical connection to that output, and route the connection to the location of the C.I.D. input. c) As shown in figure 1, pin 1 activates the “Front Warning” pattern. The routed connection must be securely fastened to this input pin. 5. Repeat step four for each of the output wires on the switch box to each of the designated pins on the C.I.D. 6. Once all wires are connected and secured in their proper pins on the C.I.D., toggle through all patterns to verify all connections have been established. BRAKE, TURN SIGNAL, AND TAIL LIGHT CONNECTION To effectively synchronize the Millennium’s brake, turn and tail light patterns with the vehicle’s existing brake, turn and tail electrical lighting system, each of the following must be completed: 1. Locate the cable assembly that controls the current stop, turn and tail light system. 2. Determine which wires control which functions on the existing stop, turn and tail light system. 3. Splice into each of the existing output wires. 4. Route each spliced wire to the designated input pin on the C.I.D. and connect securely. All control wires from the current system must be spliced and routed to the C.I.D. For example, locate the wire that controls the “left-turn” signal. Splice that wire and route it to the designated “left-turn” input pin on the C.I.D. (pin 10). If done successfully, the “left-turn” signal on the vehicle and the “left-turn” signal on the Millennium will flash simultaneously when activated.
C.I.D. Operational Guidelines Never install any electrical device without the proper fuse protection. Doing so may result in damage to the product or related equipment.
