Installation: Optional Settings
Optional Input Functions:
Gun Lock Button Enable and Dim
The LCS850MG has two optional inputs that can be
used to ENABLE the Gun Lock button and control the
siren faceplate backlighting:

Input 1 (terminal 9) activates the corresponding
feature when +12VDC is applied to it.

Input 2 (terminal 12) activates the corresponding
feature when Ground is applied to it.
By default, the Gun Lock button is enabled through
Optional Input 1 and WILL NOT function until
+12VDC is applied to it.
By default, the Backlighting Dim feature is activated
through Optional Input 2. When Ground is applied
to it, the Backlighting of the siren control head is
dimmed for night driving.
Optionally, you can swap these inputs so that
Input 1 (terminal 9) activates the backlighting
dim feature and/or Input 2 (terminal 12) will
allow the Gun Lock button to function.
Note: Although not usually desired, both
features can be controlled by the same wire.
