B.

Press the RESET switch again to decrease

the LED illumination intensity.

C.

Continue to press the RESET switch until

the desired LED illumination intensity and back-
lighting are achieved.

NOTE

Operating the foot switch (if installed), or
pressing any control head switch (except
RESET) will cause the LED illumination in-
tensity to revert to bright illumination.

Also, the LED illumination intensity will
revert to bright illumination when the vehicle
ignition switch, or user-supplied switch, is
switched “off” and switched “on”.

1-4. PARK-SIREN DEACTIVATOR.

This feature uses the foot switch (pursuit) wire

to automatically deactivate siren tones when the
vehicle is shifted into PARK.

If installed, shift the vehicle into PARK to

deactivate siren tones.

1-5. FOOT SWITCH.

NOTE

When the Model V7PSS is shipped from the
factory, the foot switch (pursuit) function is
NOT ACTIVATED. The procedure for activat-
ing the foot switch (pursuit) function is de-
scribed in Section II Configuration.

Either 

the pursuit function 

or

 the park-siren

deactivator function

 can be selected. Both

functions are not available at the same time.
It is the operator’s responsibility to know
which function is available.

Operating the optional foot switch will alternate

between the slide switch position 3 function (usually
Mode 3) and the slide switch position 2 function
(usually Mode 2). If installed, operate the foot switch
to activate the slide switch position 3 function.
Operate the foot switch again to deactivate the slide
switch position 3 function and activate the slide
switch position 2 function. Operating the foot switch
a third time does not deactivate the warning system;
it will deactivate the slide switch position 2 function
and reactivate the slide switch position 3 function.

To deactivate a foot switch activated function,

operate the reset switch (switch 4).

1-6. HORN RING TRANSFER.

NOTE

Switch 15 (MAN) operates the same as the
horn ring when Mode 2 or Mode 3 is selected.

The Premium Vision’s horn ring transfer feature

allows activating a light pattern/siren tone associated
with the vehicle’s horn ring. In this keyboard configu-
ration, the horn ring is transferred when Mode 2 or 3
is activated. The chart below demonstrates how the
horn ring transfer function can change the light
pattern/siren tone.

1-7. KEYBOARD CONFIGURATIONS.

IMPORTANT

The control head’s LED display simulates the
light pattern(s) being executed by the warning
system. The display is intended ONLY as a
guide and NOT as an indication of proper
warning system operation.

Before using the warning system, its operation
should be observed from outside the vehicle.

The installer or person responsible for configura-

tion MUST  provide you with information regarding
