UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER LITE (MCS-16) USER GUIDE V1 E : PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
E : Product Specification
Product Overview
The Universal Controller Lite (MCS-16) consists of a main
control box which contains everything required to control a
vehicle mounted hazard warning system, typically comprising
rooftop lighting, secondary hazard warning lights and audio
equipment. It has 16 outputs and 16 standard inputs with
power management functions including run lock, split charging,
load shedding and headlight flash, plus many more, some of
which may be implemented via the vehicle CAN Bus system.
It also includes a logic switch module to facilitate the control
of auxiliary add-on devices such as: Gateway Radio Controller,
Audio Interface Controller (Intercom with pre-recorded
‘voice’ alerts) and Fan Controller.
Operate the controller through one of our range of fully compatible
hand held or dash mounted switch units and you have an economical
hazard warning control system that does not compromise on features
or functionality.
System Intelligence
The main control unit is supplied with default settings that will suit
a variety of applications, however it can be simply customised
to match the end users specific application by plugging in to a
laptop/desktop PC and utilising the ‘easy to use’ complimentary
software.
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
We have developed a collection of switch units specifically designed
to interface with the Universal Controller Plus (MCS-32). They range
from a 7-way handset through to a 16-way flush/DIN mount unit,
with every conceivable combination in between. Handsets have
the facility to operate a Public Address (PA) system via an integral
microphone and the option to allocate any button to operate
the Push to Talk (PTT) feature. Full details are given later in this
catalogue.
One Source, One Solution
In order to simplify the installation process each unit is supplied
fully loaded with all the necessary features and functions to
implement a comprehensive system. Simply enable the required
function via the ‘easy to use’ software.
Logic Functions
An abundance of logic functions means complex applications are no
longer difficult to implement, particularly where certain operations
are interlinked with others. So, carrying out ‘and/or’ functions and
implementing ‘do this when’ or ‘stop this when’ are simple to apply
together with the facility to alter functions allowing continual client
synchronisation.
System Configuration
This is a simple 3-stage process which entails enabling and labelling
inputs and outputs, configuring the system operation and down-
loading the application onto the unit. This operation need only be
done once, when completed it can be simply be transferred onto
other units via a laptop.
