Configuring the Siren
Assigning Siren Input Control to Inputs 1–4
The Input buttons are not part of the control pad. Instead, they are "virtual" buttons that represent
switches (page 70) connected to the back of the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier (page 29). Input
1 and 2 are active low inputs that activate when the input pin is pulled to ground. Input 3 and 4 are
active high inputs that activate when the input pin is pulled to 12 Vdc battery voltage.
Inputs 1–4 are most commonly used for circuits that send a signal to the SmartSiren Platinum system
when a condition in the vehicle changes. Changes may include the opening of a trunk or door, a rise in
vehicle temperature, or the release of a gun lock. The inputs are often used for police vehicle anti-theft
devices, intrusion alarms, and temperature monitoring systems for K9 vehicles. Similarly, the Park
Detect circuit sends a signal to the SmartSiren Platinum Siren Amplifier when the vehicle transmission
is shifted to park or neutral.
The siren pane for the Input and Park Detect buttons has a Siren Mute function that you can select
for each button. If the vehicle driver turns on a siren function, such as a siren tone or public address,
by pressing a control pad button, Siren Mute automatically deactivates all siren functions, except for
the Air Horn and Manual tones, when the Input and Park Detect circuits are active. Siren functions
resume when the circuits are inactive.
To assign Siren Input Control to an Input button or the Park Detect button:
1.
Click an Input Button or the Park Detect button.
2.
If the siren pane is not in front of the other Device Selection panes, click the Siren tab.

Button Function Limits
The functions for all buttons (except Slide Switch 3, which accepts a limit of 20)
are limited to a maximum of 10.
