8.12 ) Park / Neutral Safety Input
To properly activate this feature, the system looks for an open circuit to disable the
Tactical K9 Deployment System™. Under the dash or somewhere else within the vehicle,
locate the wire that reads 0 – 55
(OHMS) when the vehicle is in Park or Neutral and 315
(OHMS) or higher (or a completely open circuit) when in gear. This signal can typically
be found coming from the transmission's Park/Neutral switch. Carefully splice the green
w/black stripe system wire into this circuit.
You can bypass this feature by attaching this wire to a ground. This will allow the Tactical
K9 Deployment System™ to operate at ALL TIMES – whether the vehicle is in gear or not.
Some handlers request Park / Neutral Safety to be disabled so that option is available to
you.
If using the Park / Neutral Safety Input, leave the VSS Safety Input disconnected.
8.13 ) VSS Safety Input
Connect the VSS input to a vehicle signal that alternates when the vehicle is moving.
Acceptable input frequencies are below 1,000 Hz (less than 15,000 pulses per mile), but
this will vary depending on other characteristics of the signal (signal level, wave shape,
etc). The system is designed to enable the deployment system when the signal is at or
below approximately 5 Hz to allowing deployment at very slow speeds.
If using the VSS Safety Input, tie the Park / Neutral Safety Input to a constant ground.
8.14 ) Antenna Attachment
The provided antenna cable assembly is 10 feet in length. The cable should be run from
the POD to a 3/4” hole drilled through the roof of the vehicle. The antenna connector is a
modified NMO style terminal. The center contact and plastic washer must be removed in
order to attach the antenna.
