Wiring the Siren Amplifier
The siren amplifier has the following types of Convergence Network connections via cables and locking
connectors included with the e-Q2B kit:
■
Three “plug and play” serial ports that communicate on the Federal Signal Convergence network with
the control head, compatible lightbars, and the Federal Signal Model 660100 Relay Module/Two-
Channel Flasher.
■
Speakers
■
Radio rebroadcast
■
Park disable circuit
■
Horn ring circuit
■
Foot switch inputs for
CYCLE
,
BRAKE
, and
AIR HORN
HIGH CURRENT ARCING—Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery until
ALL other electrical connections are made and you have verified that no shorts
exist. High current conductors can cause hazardous sparks or burning wire
resulting in electrical fires.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS—When drilling holes, check the area into which you
are drilling to be sure that you do not damage vehicle components while drilling.
All drilled holes should be de-burred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All
wiring routings going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or
convolute/split loom tubing.
To prepare the vehicle for the electrical installation of the e-Q2B Siren System:
1.
After planning where to route the wires and cables for the e-Q2B Siren System components—such
as Federal Signal warning lights, directional lights, and speakers—drill the holes for the wiring.
Smooth, de-burr, and insert a grommet in each hole. Use a silicone sealant where needed.
2.
Route wires from the system components through the vehicle to their connection points.
The next sections describe how to connect and wire each system component to the siren amplifier:
Connecting to the Serial Ports
There are three network ports on the upper right corner of the front of the siren amplifier. The ports
connect Federal Signal network devices through RS-485 communication cables. To connect the
control head, use the 25-foot FS Convergence Network cable (P/N 1751357-02).
Figure 3.3 on page 19 shows the network connections on the siren amplifier. Refer to the mounting
instructions included with the products after you connect all system devices.
To connect the serial devices:
1.
Carefully route the cables from the network devices through the vehicle to the connectors on
the siren amplifier.
