Installation guide for Whelen Talon Series LED dash lights, covering safety, mounting, wiring, flash pattern selection, and parts list.
The guide begins with safety precautions, emphasizing the need to avoid air‑bag deployment areas, ensure proper grounding to the vehicle chassis, and clean lenses only with soap and water. It also describes the two mounting options – suction‑cup deck mounting and permanent mounting with drilled holes – and provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing the visor hood and brackets.
Wiring instructions detail the use of a cigar cord (standard Talon) or a sync wiring scheme (Sync Talon), specifying red (+12 VDC) and black (ground) wires, fuse requirements, and the optional grey sync wire. Flash pattern selection is performed with a button press, and the document lists all available patterns for single and dual Talon units, including synchronization modes.
| Power connection | Cigar cord with on/off switch & internal 8 A fuse |
|---|---|
| Red wire function | +12 VDC |
| Black wire function | Ground (chassis) |
| Fuse rating for power wire | 3 A |
| Mounting options | Suction‑cup deck mount or permanent drilled‑hole mount |
Do not install the product in the air‑bag deployment area, ensure a solid chassis ground, clean lenses only with soap and water, and avoid drilling near vital vehicle components.
