Chapter 3: Wiring the Convergence Network
SmartSiren Platinum Convergence Network

To connect the control head to ignition power:
1.
Use a multimeter to determine which source provides power when the vehicle key is in the
ignition position.
2.
Connect the yellow lead from the control head to the switched side of the vehicle ignition
harness. Extend the lead with 22 AWG leads or thicker.
3.
Connect the red lead from the control head to a co12 Vdc from the battery. Do not
splice the red and yellow leads to the power leads for accessories. Extend the lead with
22 AWG leads or thicker.
4.
Connect the black lead from the control head to negative ground. Extend the lead with
22 AWG leads or thicker.
5.
Insulate spliced leads with twist-on wire connectors. Fold and seal unused leads. Use wire
ties and hold-downs for strain relief.
Connecting the Federal Signal Microphone (P/N 258B8577-03)
The microphone provides high quality voice reproduction in for public address over the siren
speakers. The microphone push-to-talk switch overrides all siren functions, except radio
rebroadcast, for instant PA use. The microphone connection is not required for the siren to
operate properly.
To attach the microphone cable to the control head, insert the modular telephone-type plug in
the microphone jack until it locks. For instructions on adjusting the PA volume, see “Setting the
Gain for Public Address (Microphone Volume)” on page 38.
