An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum
The SmartSiren
®
Platinum siren amplifier/relay module is a full-featured,
programmable electronic siren and light control system. State-of-the-art
microprocessor technology is used to create a system with a small, compact
control head and a siren amplifier/relay module that can be installed in the trunk,
under the dashboard, or under the seat of any vehicle with a 12 V negative ground
system.
The module provides the automatic, simultaneous light and siren activation
required by some jurisdictions. A security shotgun timer is also provided to
minimize the possibility of unauthorized shotgun release. The module has six easily
accessible Convergence Network serial ports that connect the control head and
any serially-controlled Federal Signal product. A variety of system features can
be programmed with the Convergence Network Configuration Software from a
computer via a crossover Ethernet cable that connects the control head. System
features include flash patterns, siren tones, and momentary, push-on/push-off, or
timed relay operation. Programming does not require disassembling or removing
any hardware from the vehicle.
Siren, PA, and Speakers
The SmartSiren produces wail, yelp, priority, and hi-lo siren tones, as well as an air
horn sound. The horn-ring transfer feature enables the driver to control siren tones
by pressing the horn button. Public address is available with the Federal Signal
microphone, which is included with the system. Radio rebroadcast is also available.
The Model SSP3000B module can drive one or two 11-ohm impedance, 100 W
speakers, and the Model SSP2000B module can drive one. Two speakers must
always be connected in parallel and in phase.
