2.3 Lights & Siren Preparation
To integrate a Module with a siren & light controller, certain requirements must be met.
The siren & light controller must be compatible with the Module and any required OEM
interface hardware must be obtained. For more information on siren compatibility and
OEM siren interface hardware please refer to Appendix A. The last requirement is that the
siren & light controller is correctly programmed.
Siren & light equipment must be fully programmed according to the normal OEM
installation procedure. The equipment must be in a fully configured and operational state
prior to integration with the Module and radio. The programming of the OEM siren
equipment will determine the options available for control through the Module or radio
control head. In other words, if a feature is not programmed and available when using the
siren’s OEM control head, then the feature will similarly not be available on any other
integrated device.
The type of button (momentary, latching, multi-state) is set in the siren programming. The
Module cannot change the button type of a siren feature so time should be taken to setup
the siren carefully while noting the functionality and type of each button during
programming. This information will need to be configured in the Module to allow for correct
control and user feedback.
Ensure the siren equipment is programmed to meet the needs and desires of the end user
according to the typical OEM installation and programming procedure for the Siren & Light
equipment used.
The siren should be programmed as-if it were to be installed without interfacing to any
other device. For more details on this procedure refer to the OEM equipment
manufacturer’s product documentation.
NOTE:
The Module allows buttons to be mapped from a radio device to the siren’s control head.
When a configured button is pressed on a radio device, the Module will “virtually” press
the siren button mapped in the Module’s configuration. The siren equipment will then
interpret the button press and carry out the action it is programmed to do. The Module
cannot directly control siren features and does not natively know how the siren is
programmed. It is up to the user to configure the Module to match the siren programming.
