1-1. GENERAL.
IMPORTANT
Since most Premium Vision features are pro-
grammable, operation is described only for
the keyboard configurations’ factory (default)
settings. System configuration and any
changes to the keyboard configurations (if any)
MUST be provided to the operator by the in-
staller or person responsible for programming.
It is the operator’s responsibility to understand
how his particular system is configured (pro-
grammed) to operate.
The Premium Vision control head is designed to
assist the operator’s selection of functions. Each
control head switch is recessed and aids guiding the
operator’s finger to the switch’s center for activation.
When a switch is pressed, “tactile feedback” provides
function selection indication as follows: a click is felt,
a beep is heard, and the selected function’s LED is
illuminated. Also, the control head’s V-shaped LED
display acts ONLY AS A GUIDE while it simulates,
but does not necessarily indicate, proper system
operation. If the optional SignalMaster directional
light is installed, the control head display simulates
the directional light pattern being executed.
To alert the driver that a function is selected, a
function indicator sound (double beep) can be enabled
as described in Section II Configuration. This feature
can be very useful if a brake light cutoff is in use.
Two selectable keyboard configurations are
available. Only one keyboard configuration can be
selected at a time. Keyboard Configuration 2 has a
different function assigned to each of the control head
switches, and Keyboard Configuration 3 is “open” (no
functions assigned) allowing selection of up to eleven
patterns. Keyboard configuration selection and
pattern selection (described in Section II) is per-
formed, if required, when the warning system is
installed.
The keyboard configurations are as follows:
• Keyboard Configuration 1 (Federal Signal
use only).
• Keyboard Configuration 2 (POLICE ).
• Keyboard Configuration 3 (CLEAR-
BOARD).
WARNING
Peoples’ lives depend on your safe operation
of this warning system. Ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with the selected keyboard
configuration’s function selection and warning
system operation.
1-2. POWER-UP.
The Premium Vision warning system does not
have a separate on-off switch. It is usually wired to
the vehicle’s ignition switch and is enabled when the
vehicle’s ignition switch is “on”.
If a user-supplied switch is installed, enable the
system by operating the switch to its “on” position.
CAUTION
The Premium Vision warning system draws
approximately 3.0A (all functions deactivated)
and will eventually discharge the vehicle bat-
tery. Do not leave the system powered-up
unless the vehicle engine is running.
After power is applied, the system will power-up
as follows:
A. The system performs a self-test. During the
self-test, the keyboard will not operate the warning
system and the reflectors in the lightbar will rotate
to the “home” position.
B. After the self-test is completed, the RESET
LED and the WAIL LED are illuminated. In addi-
tion, the control head will sound a beep to indicate
the warning system is now ready for use.
NOTE
If the self-test is unsuccessful, the V-shaped
LED display will flash and a beeping self-test
failure signal will sound. This failure indica-
tion may be caused by lamp failure, communi-
cation link failure, or other failure.
Press the RESET switch to clear the failure
indication. If the failure indication is cleared,
observe for proper warning system operation
from outside the vehicle. Lamps are tested
only once during power-up and should be
observed from outside the vehicle. If the fail-
ure indication is persistent, the warning sys-
tem should be serviced before use.
1-3. LED ILLUMINATION INTENSITY ADJUSTMENT.
The bright LED’s provide maximum visibility in
high ambient lighting conditions. The RESET LED
illumination intensity can be adjusted from bright
illumination to dimmed, dimmer, or extinguished for
night operations. The backlighting illumination
intensity does not change, but does extinguish when
the RESET LED is extinguished.
To adjust, proceed as follows:
A. Switch the slide switch to the OFF position.
If any other functions are activated, press the RESET
switch. The RESET LED should be illuminated.
