Batboard

Hi All,
My department is in the process of ordering a new engine. The truck will be equipped with a Whelen Freedom lightbar and Whelen Super 600 Series lighting around the body. Can anyone tell me what we need to have them do so we will be able to change the flash patterns in both the lightbar and lightheads? Is there any special options we need to tell them?

We just recently received a new tanker with a freedom lightbar and I was told we have to find the end of the wiring harness to be able to change the patterns, isn't there an easier way?

I am hearing some things about WeCan, can anyone explain this stuff to me?


Thanks!!

That is how they will do it. Unless you tell them "I want this pattern, It will probably end up on some default pattern that meets the NFPA candlepower specification. This is why they don't wire in pattern control to apparatus. First, it isn't necessary. And second, not all the patterns will meet the NFPA requirements.
