The Central Controller processor stores and interprets the input and output configuration from the software
application and control outputs accordingly as well as monitors outputs for fault conditions. The Central Controller is
fully software configurable via PC Software app through USB connection.
The central controller is the communication hub for other system components within the EV Control System allowing
for:
•A communication port for lightbar
•A communication port for 14 button control panel
•A communication port for other control system devices
•Up to 5 remote nodes
•Input node
•Up to 2 200R siren amplifiers
The central controller allows for 24 outputs for connection
to vehicle devices (100 Amps max) and has:
•(4) 10-amp fused outputs - constant power [outputs 11-14]
•(8) 10-amp solid state switchable outputs
•(12) 5-amp solid state switchable outputs
Multi-color lights should be driven by outputs within the same output group (Group 1: 1-5, Group 2: 6-10, Group 3:
15-19, Group 4:20-24) to align timing.
Fault Condition Wink Patterns:
1 Wink - CPDU output(s) are faulted
2 Winks - Communication Fault
3 Winks - Source voltage level is < 9 VDC
4 Winks - Source voltage level is > 16VDC
5 Winks - Over temperature condition
6 Winks - RPDU output(s) are faulted

DIAGNOSTIC LED
•Power LED is steady on when the device is powered up and running with no errors.
•Power LED is off when the device is off or in sleep mode.
•Power LED winks when there is a system fault.
•Fault condition is read by counting the number of times the LED “winks”on.
Each fault condition will generate a pattern where each wink is 250ms off/250ms on.
The pattern is terminated by the LED being off for 2.5 seconds.
*The LED will wink multiple patterns when more than one fault condition is active.
