I am 99.999% sure this is a Whelen unit. I have one idential to it. Not sure the exact model number, but I know the TACTRL 1A should work just fine with it.

That looks like a Whelen TAL85 Arrow Stick, and the TACTRL1A should work with it.

I believe it's a knock-off.

The TAL85 that I'm using (purchased about 2 months ago) has 8 500-series LED heads in a flat-pack track arrangement. Each module can be removed/replaced. The unit pictured has all the LEDs in one package... either it's an older design or it's a knock-off.

Whelen TA852L

Post by philter »

It is a Whelen TA, an older model which uses the now discontinued 52 series LED modules, the model number is TA852L. The correct controller for this would be a TACTRL1A, however you can also use the TACTRL1D. The difference between the two is that the first is a halogen controller, and the second is a LED controller (LED patterns).

Here is a link to the installation manual for this TA.
