CHAPTER 3
Exploring the Interface
An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum Configuration Software
The SmartSiren Platinum 3000 Configuration Software is a Microsoft Windows-based application that
enables you to configure how the SmartSiren Platinum control pad and SmartSiren Platinum amplifier
operate the Federal Signal warning devices installed in an emergency vehicle. The serial and non-serial
controlled warning devices operate as part of a system that communicates though the Federal Signal
in-vehicle Convergence™ Network. The devices include:
• SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier/Relay Module
• Model 660100 RS485 Relay Module/Two Channel Flasher
• Lightbars and SignalMaster™ directional/warning lights
• Exterior and interior perimeter warning lights
• Siren, PA, radio, horn-ring transfer
• Automatically activated and timed switches and relays
With the control pad serving as the command center, the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier/Relay
Module acts as the communications hub of the Convergence Network. With solid-state relays and LEDs
that light to indicate signal transmission between circuits, the siren amplifier does more than amplify
sound. It coordinates the operation and communication of all devices on the network according to the
configuration file you created using the configuration software.
The configuration software displays a GUI (graphical user interface) version of the SmartSiren Platinum
control pad. The interface also includes programmable button-control versions of the four input relays
and horn ring circuit in the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier. The software enables you to easily
choose what functions the buttons control and how devices and buttons operate without having to
determine logic or perform complicated rewiring.
The application stores the configuration information in a file on your hard drive in a location of your
choice. You can create and name additional configuration files for uploading to the same or other
SmartSiren Platinum control pads. For easy reference, you can also print the screen version of your
system configuration. The elements that make up the interface are illustrated below and described in the
next pages.
