PA Volume Adjustment (Item 11)
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, set the potentiometer to its middle
position. With the CanTrol™ system on, activate the PTT (Push To Talk)
feature on the optional microphone. Adjust the potentiometer until a
satisfactory PA volume level is achieved using a normal speaking voice.
Radio Repeat Volume Adjustment (Item 12)
To Adjust the Radio Repeat Levels: Before placing this unit into service,
the Radio Repeat output volume must be adjusted to satisfactory
operating levels. To adjust this level, a small, flat-blade screwdriver is
needed. Locate the Radio Repeat adjustment potentiometer on the left
side of the CanTrol™ module. Set the volume of the vehicle’s two-way
radio to its normal operating level. Press the RAD button on the control
head to activate Radio Repeat. As incoming transmissions are received,
adjust the Radio Repeat potentiometer to set the desired level. Turn the
potentiometer clockwise to increase the level and counter-clockwise to
decrease the level.
Default Control Head Configuration:
There is an almost limitless number of configurations in which the
CanTrol™ system can be programmed. Each of the available control
heads operate differently from one another. This section will outline the
default configurations for each control head.
Standard Control Head
The following defines the default
operation of the standard CanTrol™
Control Head.
#1 (Stand-by)
- This button clears all
siren operations and forces the siren
off.
#2 (Radio Repeat)
- This button will rebroadcast your radio output
through the siren speaker.
#3 (Hands-Free)
- This button will put the siren into Hands-Free mode.
This is similar to the stand-by mode except that the Horn Ring (or MAN
button) can activate the siren and then cycle through the H/F buffer. To
deactivate the siren, press STBY.
#4 (Wail)
- This button will broadcast the Wail tone. The tone can be
silenced by pressing the WAIL button a second time or by pressing the
STBY button.
#5 (Yelp)
- This button will broadcast the Yelp tone. The tone can be
silenced by pressing the YELP button a second time or by pressing the
STBY button.
#6 (Piercer)
- This button will broadcast the Piercer tone. The tone can be
silenced by pressing the PIER button a second time or by pressing the
STBY button.
#7 (Manual)
- This button has several functions. If the siren is inactive, the
Manual button starts the "Siren Inactive Tone." If Wail, Yelp or T3 are
active, then Manual can initiate the "Override mode." In Hands-Free
mode, the Manual button can toggle through the buffered HF tones:
Cycle Hands-free
- Pressing the MAN button while the system is in
Hands-Free mode will generate a WAIL tone. A second press will
change that tone to YELP. A third press will change that tone to T3. A
subsequent press will cause the cycle to repeat beginning with WAIL.
Siren Inactive Tone
- This is the tone that will be generated when
the MAN button is pressed while no other tone is active. Ramp Stop
is the default.
T3 Override Tone
-
This is the tone that will override T3 when the
MAN button is pressed.
Airhorn is the default
NOTE: Yelp always overrides the Wail tone, T3 always overrides the
Yelp tone and the T3 Override tone selected in the previous
paragraph overrides the T3 tone.
#8 (Airhorn)
- This button will broadcast the Airhorn tone as long as the
button is pressed, over-riding other siren tones.
#9 (Traffic Advisor)
- This button operates the optional Traffic Advisor™.
The button will sequence through the "LEFT", "RIGHT", "SPLIT" and
"OFF" states. This button also activates High-current outputs in the
following cycle: J1-7 then J1-8 then J1-7 & J1-8 simultaneously.
