Chapter 2: An Overview of the PA300-CN
Programmable Active-Low Inputs
Control Pad Cable assembly P/N 17500063 includes 18-inch, 22 AWG wires for four active-low circuit inputs.
Each input circuit can be programmed to activate with an installer-supplied switch with a current capacity of
100 mA , the SSP3000 control pad, or with the two-way switches on the steering wheel of the Ford Police
Interceptor.
Control Pad Features
All buttons on the control pad glow when the system is on. Pressed buttons turn bright to indicate that the
function they control is active. The amber LEDs in the upper center of control pad the mimic these active
SignalMaster patterns: Left, Right, Center-Out, or Warn patterns 1 to 4. LEDs glow over the position in which
the slide switch is placed.
