DIGITAL CIRCUITRY WARNING
Some auto manufacturers have converted to Digital Park/Neutral reference signal.
Refer to Federal Signal Corporation Service Bulletin No 9.; Dated 11/03/04.
On these vehicles, the Park/Neutral position can only be monitored with a 5-volt reference signal.
Automobile manufacturers state that a 12 Volt or ground signal will result in damage to the vehicle starting system.
If installation of a UPKM-1 is to be utilized, please check with Unitrol regarding compatibility issues.
Federal Signal / Unitrol UPKM-2 is compliant with both digital and 12-volt systems.
PANEL LIGHTING
For satisfactory lighting, it is recommended that the panel
lights (terminal #1) be connected to the vehicle light circuit
as shown.
SIREN DEACTIVATION
The park kill feature of the Touchmaster Delta ™ uses the
Neutral Safety Switch to stop all siren sounds except P.A.,
Alarm, and Radio Rebroadcast. The Neutral Safety Switch
must be hooked up to the Park Kill input using Terminal
#14. A Park Kill Module
must be installed as an interface
between the vehicle and the Touchmaster Delta ™.
(The Park Kill Module is available at an extra cost). The
Park Kill Module will protect both the vehicle and the
Touchmaster
Delta ™ from damage caused by transient
voltages. See Digital Circuitry Warning .
NOTE:
The only wire connected to Terminal #14 should
be the GRAY wire of the UPKM-2. When testing this
feature, put the emergency brake on and verify siren
sounds in Reverse and Drive and that there is no sound in
Park or Neutral.
ALARM
Applying a ground (-) to the ALARM terminal triggers the
siren to a distinctive 2KHz sound. This function may be used
as a burglar alarm or a high-temperature alarm for K-9 carriers.
A motion-detector or switches at the trunk, doors, etc. may be
used for burglar alarms. A temperature switch (Part # UTAS)
is available at an extra cost for a temperature alarm. A key
switch or concealed On/Off switch must be installed in-line
with the ALARM terminal.
FOOTSWITCH
A foot switch or any manual switch may be used in lieu of, or
in addition to, the horn ring. If the switch is used alone,
connect one switch terminal to ground (-), and connect the
other terminal to the RNG terminal. If a switch is used in
conjunction with the horn ring connections, connect one
terminal to RNG, and the other to (-) or (+) to match the horn
ring polarity.
HORN RING CONNECTIONS
Optional – Cut the vehicle horn circuit and connect the leads to
the HRN and RNG terminals on the back of the Touchmaster
