Addendum:
Emergency Lights & Manual Switch
Important:
When you are setting up the ‘recorder options’, you must go in to the ‘schedule record’ screen
and change all of the ‘c’s to ‘a’s. ‘A’ tells the recorder to record when an alarm triggers. (‘C’ tells the recorder
to record continuously.)
There are 3 leads coming from the sensor harness. Each lead will activate the record function when 12v is
applied. In a typical installation, 2 of these leads will be used. Connect 1 lead to the output side of you control
box for your pursuit lights. This way the recorder will start anytime you are running emergency traffic. The
second lead will be connected to a manual switch that you will activate when you want to start the recorder
without lights activated. You can use the small switch provided or any switch of your choosing that will
provide 12v to the lead.
Many of the newer control boxes will sometimes have a button or switch that is not being used. This is an
excellent choice if available, as it makes for a cleaner install.
