8.21 ) Testing the Tactical K9 Deployment System™
In the SETUP Menu select the DEPLOYMENT option, then set the system values as
follows (refer to the Users Manual if necessary):
DEPLOYMENT
“ON”
WINDOW DROP
“BOTH”
Exit the SETUP Menu. On the HUD display, insure that the D on the LCD is now bold
without a circle w/line over it.
Leave the door open but force the door latch shut with a screwdriver or similar instrument.
Press the Deploy K-9 button located on the back of the Remote/Pager.
Deployment Test Sequence:
1. The Remote/Pager will beep twice and vibrate once to acknowledge the
deployment request.
2. The vehicle horn (if integrated) will beep signifying that the deployment
request has been accepted.
3. The door will unlock.
4. The door unlatch solenoid will activate causing the door latch to open.
5. The windows that have been wired into the system will lower.
Now test the system by fully closing the door and performing the test again. If the
installation was successful, the door will unlock & unlatch in less then one second and the
door will open smoothly without binding.
For safety purposes and to be sure all solenoid connections are properly adjusted, it is
advisable to test the system several times before completing the installation of the door
panels and putting the unit into service. Do so by performing the above test several times
from a variety of distances to gain confidence in the installation. Also, lower and raise the
windows a few times to insure the wiring inside the door is clear of all moving parts.
Note:
If the Park / Neutral Safety feature is being used, the door unlatch solenoid will only
activate if the vehicle shift lever is in Park or Neutral. Test this feature to be certain. If the
door unlatch solenoid activates while the vehicle shift lever is in any position other than
Park or Neutral, the Park / Neutral Safety input wire from the POD was not properly
connected.
Note:
Also, if the Park / Neutral Safety feature is being used, the bold “D” on the HUD
display and Remote/Pager will dim and have a circle with a line through it when the vehicle
is put into gear. On return to neutral or park, the “D” will become bold again.
Note:
After the test is completed successfully, we suggest that the WINDOW DROP
option in the DEPLOYMENT Menu be set to “OFF”.
