CHAPTER 2
An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum
The SmartSiren Platinum siren amplifier/relay module is a full-featured, programmable electronic
siren and light control system. State-of-the-art microprocessor technology is used to create a system
with a small, compact control head and a siren amplifier/relay module that can be installed in the
trunk, under the dashboard, or under the seat of any vehicle with a 12 V negative ground system.
The module provides the automatic, simultaneous light and siren activation required by some
jurisdictions. A security shotgun timer is also provided to minimize the possibility of unauthorized
shotgun release. The module has six easily accessible Convergence™ Network serial ports that
connect the control head and any serially-controlled Federal Signal product. A variety of system
features can be programmed with the Convergence Network Configuration Software from a computer
via a crossover Ethernet cable that connects the control head. System features include flash patterns,
siren tones, and momentary, push-on/push-off, or timed relay operation. Programming does not
require disassembling or removing any hardware from the vehicle.
Siren, PA, and Speakers
The Smart Siren produces wail, yelp, priority, and hi-lo siren tones, as well as an air horn sound. The
horn-ring transfer feature enables the driver to control siren tones by pressing the horn button. Public
address is available with the Federal Signal microphone, which is included with the system. Radio
rebroadcast is also available. The Model SSP3000B module can drive one or two 11-ohm impedance,
100 W speakers, and the Model SSP2000B module can drive one. Two speakers must always be
connected in parallel and in phase.
