CHAPTER 7
Testing the Convergence Network Installation
SOUND HAZARD—All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB)
that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your exposure to
siren sound and wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren indoors or in
enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to the sound.
LIGHT HAZARD—To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning
system produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when
viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close
range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
The control head is programmed with a default configuration that you can use to quickly check your
initial installation of the SSP3000B system before you configure the control head. For illustrations
showing the default configurations for the control head and for the steering wheel switches (if
connected to the four control head input circuits), see page 48 for the SSP2000B and page 49 for the
SSP3000B. For the default configuration for steering wheel switches wired to control head for both
the SSP2000B and SSP3000B, see page 50.
When you test the system, be sure to note the status of the LED indicators in the externally mounted
fuses of the siren amplifier/relay module. Also note the activity of the LEDs just below the surface
of the module. The illustrations on the following pages describe what each LED indicates. Also
verify that the 10-second function notification beep and lightning options of the control head work as
expected.
In addition, test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle
lighting systems for proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle
operation or changed any vehicle safety functions or circuits. Do not test the sound and light system
of the vehicle while driving. Operating the vehicle warning system may pose a hazard to the operator
and other drivers if the system does not function as expected. Test the vehicle only in a controlled
environment. After testing is complete, provide a copy of this manual to the instructional staff and all
operating personnel.
