Configuring the Siren

SmartSiren Platinum Series
Assigning Siren Input Control to Inputs 1–4
The
Input
buttons are not part of the control pad. Instead, they are “virtual” buttons that represent
switches (page 70) connected to the back of the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier (page 29).
Input
1
and
2
are active low inputs that activate when the input pin is pulled to ground.
Input 3
and
4
are
active high inputs that activate when the input pin is pulled to 12 Vdc battery voltage.
Inputs 1–4
are most commonly used for circuits that send a signal to the SmartSiren Platinum system
when a condition in the vehicle changes. Changes may include the opening of a trunk or door, a rise in
vehicle temperature, or the release of a gun lock. The inputs are often used for police vehicle anti-theft
devices, intrusion alarms, and temperature monitoring systems for K9 vehicles. Similarly, the
Park
Detect
circuit sends a signal to the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier when the vehicle transmission
is shifted to park or neutral.
The siren pane for the
Inpu
t and
Park Detect
buttons has a
Siren Mute
function that you can select
for each button. If the vehicle driver turns on a siren function, such as a siren tone or public address,
by pressing a control pad button,
Siren Mute
automatically deactivates all siren functions, except for
the
Air Horn
and
Manual
tones, when the
Input
and
Park Detect
circuits are active. Siren functions
resume when the circuits are inactive.
