Preparing the Valor for Installation
Selecting External SignalMaster Control
The Interface Module comes factory-set for the INTERNAL SignalMaster option.
See “Selecting Internal SignalMaster Control (Factory Default)” on page 14.
With EXTERNAL control the Interface Module drives each SignalMaster head
independently via an external Federal Signal SignalMaster controller or the
SS2000SM Series Siren. Either device provides an independent ground signal to
illuminate each head.
To select External SignalMaster control:
1.
Unplug the 24-pin harness from the Serial Interface Module.
2.
Move Switch 4 on SW2 to the up (OFF) position (Table 4).
3.
Plug the 24-pin harness into the Serial Interface Module.
Selecting Internal SignalMaster Control (Factory Default)
The Interface Module SignalMaster control leads are defined in Table 5 on page
16. The SignalMaster can be configured for internal operation. Power (+BAT)
applied to the specified control lead activates the light bar’s internal SignalMaster
controller. The Internal SignalMaster setting controls the flash pattern, rather than
driving each SignalMaster head.
To select Internal SignalMaster control:
1.
Unplug the 24-pin harness from the Serial Interface Module.
2.
Move Switch 4 on SW2 to the down (ON) position.
3.
Plug the 24-pin harness into the Serial Interface Module.
