Chapter 2: An Overview of the Pathfinder
FS Vehicle Integration
The Pathfinder siren includes the capability to integrate with the existing vehicle CAN bus. The
FS Vehicle Integration uses a vehicle specific cable (not included) to seamlessly integrate with the
vehicle. Vehicle events can be programmed with the Convergence Network Configuration Software to
interface with the lighting/siren control. The Convergence Network Configuration Software contains
the latest list of events supported based on model, make and year of the vehicle.
Programmable Solid-State Auxiliary Relays
The Pathfinder has 12 solid-state relays: five 10A active high solid-state relays: one 10 A high-low and
six 5 A high. The maximum output current for each relay can be set with the Convergence Network
Configuration Software.
Programmable Input Circuits
The Pathfinder has connections for four general purpose input circuits, plus dedicated inputs for
park, horn and ign. Ignition is an active-high only input, while all other inputs are programmable for
active-high or active-low. The inputs are most commonly used for switches that send a signal to the
siren when a condition in the vehicle changes.
LED Indicators and Visual Diagnostics
All buttons on the control head glow when the system is on. Pressed buttons turn bright to indicate
that the function they control is active. The buttons are programmable for red or blue backlighting.
LEDs on the keypad mimic these active SignalMaster patterns: Left, Right, Center-Out, and Warn
patterns. An LED glows over the position in which the slide switch is placed. Diagnostic LEDs for
speaker fault detection are also available and are programmable.
