Two Piece Arrow Board Installation Guide

Installation Instructions

All connections are external. There is no need to open the control box during the installation process.   

  1. Mount the SHO-ME® Traffic Guide Two Piece Arrow Board Panels on the vehicle as desired. 
  2. Route each hook up cable from the Arrow Panels to the driver’s compartment or wherever the control box will be located. 
  3. A mounting bracket is provided for easy installation of the control box. Determine a suitable position for the mounting bracket and attach it to the vehicle with appropriate fasteners. 
  4. Connect the bare end of the heavy red wire to a 12-volt positive power source. 
  5. Connect the bare end of the heavy black wire to a suitable chassis ground. 
  6. Connect hook up cable from the Arrow Panel on the passenger’s side of the vehicle to the quick connect terminal marked “Right”. 
  7. Connect hook up cable from the arrow panel on the passenger’s side of the vehicle to the quick connect terminal marked “Left”. 
  8. Assemble the control box to the bracket.
These instructions assume that the Arrow Board Panels are facing the rear of the vehicle. However, if the arrow boards are flashing to the left when the pilot lamps on the control box indicate that they should be flashing to the right and vice versa, then the Arrow Board Panel on the passengers side of the vehicle should be connected to the terminal marked “Left”, and the Arrow Board Panel on the Driver’s side of the vehicle should be connected to the terminal marked “Right”. 

After completing the installation, always check the direction, which the Arrow Board Panels are flashing and be sure that it coincides with the direction, indicated by the control box pilot lamps.

Maintenance Instructions

Trouble Shooting

  1. If the SHO-ME® Traffic Guide Two Piece Arrow Board is not operating properly or is not lighting to full brilliance, make sure all wire connections made during the installation process are secure and the power source is active. Take particular care in making certain that ground connections are properly made. 
  2. If the Arrow Board is still not working, the Flasher Module may be inoperative. To determine for certain if the Flasher Module is operating correctly, disconnect the Arrow Panels from the control box. Disassemble the top portion of the control box chassis. Place a jumper lead from the Red positive wire terminal to the Yellow wire terminal on the PC board. Connect the 12-volt power source. Position the control switch to “Pass Both Sides”. If all indicator lamps on the control box light, the Flasher Module is inoperative. Replace with a new Flasher Module.
