General Description
The LCS800 series is a premium remote system that combines the siren amplifier, the
siren controls, and light controls all in one system. A single slim-line remote control
head combines the noise-canceling microphone with a built in siren, as well as
many of the switch and light controls for the vehicle. The control head contains
illuminated switches that change color to indicate status. The face of the control
head is sealed around every push button to help prevent liquid from entering the
electronics. The amplifier is a 200W siren amplifier unit designed for single or dual
100W speaker use. The LCS850 model adds full arrow stick controls.
The control head contains several distinct controls for operation of vehicle devices.
The slide switch allows quick pursuit mode operation. The far right slide position can
be set up to activate maximum lights and siren for pursuit mode. Five push buttons
allow control of five different lighting or auxiliary functions. Seven additional push
buttons allow full siren operation. The LCS850 also adds control of an arrow stick.
The LCS800 series is designed to allow maximum versatility in mounting. The control
head is remote from the siren amplifier and light relay control box, creating a
compact user interface that can be mounted onto the dashboard, overhead, or in
the center console. The amplifier box and arrow stick control box can then be
mounted remotely in the trunk, under the dashboard, under the seat, or wherever
convenient. The control head is available with an adjustable “U” bracket or with a
flange for recessed mounting.
Siren operating modes include Wail, Yelp, Phaser, Hands Free, and Radio. A Noise
Canceling PA Override is available in all modes. A Manual button allows tone
toggle operation and manual siren control. The Air Horn button will override any
siren tone. The vehicle horn switch may also perform the Manual push button
function via an auxiliary input. Twelve option jumpers allow the unit to be fully
customized to the operators' needs. Options include: Phaser vs. Two-Tone, Phaser
disable, 8 second timed gunlock release, momentary vs. lock-on/lock-off switch
operation, N.O. contact vs. N.C. contact, auto horn ring transfer, and many more.
A Park Kill option is provided for connection to a door switch, etc. to disable the siren
when exiting the vehicle. Both a PA volume and a Radio volume are provided.
The LCS800 series has been designed with several protection features to provide
exceptional field service. Excessive high or low voltage detection will disable the
siren output, protecting both the amplifier and the speaker. Fused inputs provide
safety against reverse polarity. Speaker diagnostics provides user feedback as well
as shutdown protection against speaker opens and shorts. The first four light output
functions are individually protected with 20A fuses, while the fifth light output
function is protected with a 2A in-line fuse. CAUTION: These protection features will
not guard against overloading the outputs.
