RSG MCS-32 User Manual Download Page 17

An extremely versatile range of fully programmable
switch units to suit a variety of applications. 

Each switch can be independently configured in terms of 
operation, legend designation and even colour, therefore 
they are the ideal interface for controlling a variety of vehicle 
based hazard warning systems including the Universal
Controller Plus (MCS-32).

Main Features

• One of the most slimline range of switch units available in 

the market today

• Meets automotive protrusion regulations
• Fully programmable at source
• Each switch can have a multi-function ‘HOT’ key action 

depending on required function

• On handset versions, any switch can be programmed to act 

as PTT (Push To Talk) when used in conjunction with Public 
Address (PA) equipment

• Surface/DIN mount units will require a separate hand-held 

microphone

• Adjacent switches can be combined for extra visual impact
• Interactive keys for interactive lighting functions and audio 

warnings

• 3 stage back illumination - low brightness when OFF, high 

brightness when ON and both levels dimmed at night

• Back light colour can be set to suit switch function
• A fully tactile, one piece wipe clean keypad with 

‘positive clicks’

• Multiple mounting options for each type of switch unit
• Optional Anti-Bacterial finish available

Each switch can operate independently or in conjunction with
other switches, as well as having unique legends, therefore each
device would need to be uniquely configured. A configuration
specification sheet is available which allows you to define the
solution required along with the associated switch unit which
will depend upon the level of control necessary.
