Radio Re-Broadcast
The Radio Re-Broadcast inputs allow incoming two-way radio messages to be
amplified by the siren amplifier/relay module and rebroadcast over the siren
speakers. The Radio Re-Broadcast gain is set in the Convergence Network
Configuration Software.
Ignition Input
The ignition input is a programmable active high input that can be used to turn on
and off the Pathway system. This input can be programmed to keep the system
alive for a set time after ignition is removed. By default, this input is set to turn off
the system immediately when ignition is removed. The functionality of the ignition
wire can be configured with the Convergence Network Configuration Software.
System Power
The Pathway® system includes ring terminals for connecting the battery. The
installer-supplied red (positive) and black (negative ground) power leads from the
siren to the vehicle battery should be as short and direct as possible. Crimp the
supplied ring terminal on the red lead and connect it through an in-line fuse to the
positive battery terminal. The fuse must be of an amperage capacity sufficient to
handle the total vehicle electrical loads plus siren. Crimp the supplied ring terminal
on the black lead and connect it to the negative battery terminal. See Figure 2 for
proper ring terminal orientation.
