Connections For The 9 Position Input Harness
NOTE:
The push-button and slide switch control wires are designed to activate relays with a coil rating no
greater than 250 ma. Do not attempt to connect these wires to any circuit that carries a higher rating!
Connecting The Slide-Switch Control wires (Green, Grey & Blue)
1.
Route and connect the GREEN wire to the desired lightbar function control wire.
2.
Route and connect the GREY wire to the desired lightbar function control wire.
3.
Route and connect the BLUE wire to the desired lightbar function control wire.
Configuring The Slide-Switch Control Functions
In the default configuration (as shipped from the factory), the slide switch is configured as follows:
Slide Position #0
. . . . .No wires active
Slide Position #1
. . . . .GREEN wire = ACTIVE, GREY wire = inactive, BLUE wire = inactive
Slide Position #2
. . . . .GREEN wire = inactive, GREY wire = ACTIVE, BLUE wire = inactive
Slide Position #3
. . . . .GREEN wire = inactive, GREY wire = inactive, BLUE wire = ACTIVE
The slide switch configuration can be altered so that any
combination of these three wires may be active or inactive
in any of the three functioning slide positions. The slide
switch configurations are controlled by two Dip Switch
banks which are located on the top circuit board of the
295HFS5. Before proceeding, disconnect all of the input
harness connectors from the rear of the 295HFS5.
Access to the Dip Switch banks is gained by removing
four small phillips-head screws located at the four corners
of the 295HFS5 face plate. With these screws removed,
slide the chassis housing cover towards the rear of the
295HFS5. It is not necessary toslide this cover more than a few inches, as the Dip Switch banks are
located just behind the control panel.
The Dip Switch Chart illustrates how the dip switches are configured. As shown, the configuration for slide
switch position #1 is controlled by dip switch #’s 2, 3 & 4 on bank 1. Dip switch #2 (which controls the
GREEN wire) is in the ON position, while #3 (GREY wire) & #4 (BLUE wire) are in the off position. This
means that when the slide switch is moved to position #1, the GREEN wire alone becomes active.
Slide switch position #2 is controlled by dip switch #5 on bank 1, and by dip switch #1 and #2 on bank 2. In
the default configuration, dip switch #5 (GREEN wire) is off, dip switch #1 (GREY wire) is ON and dip
switch #2 (BLUE wire) is off. This means that when the slide switch is moved to position #2, the GREY wire
alone is active, while the GREEN and BLUE wires are inactive.
Slide switch position #3 is controlled by dip switch ‘s 3, 4 & 5 on bank 2. In the default
configuration, dip switch #3 (GREEN wire) is off, dip switch #4 (GREY wire) is off and dip switch #5 (BLUE
wire) is ON. This means that when the slide switch is moved to position #3, the BLUE wire alone is active,
while the GREEN and GREY wires are inactive.
Enabling Siren Tones through Slide Switch Position #3
Slide switch position #3 is configured to automatically activate siren tones (in default configuration). If this
is not desired, make sure that dip switch #1 on bank 1 is in the off position. Please note that siren activation
through slide switch position #3 is only available when the 295HFS5 power switch is in the ON position.
