bluePRINT SYNC

LED LIGHT INDICATORS:

Upon power up, bluePRINT SYNC will seek a GPS signal lock to gain sync data. GPS signal updates happen

automatically when a signal is available. At minimum, bluePRINT SYNC will need to updates once every eight hours

to keep in sync.

Normal Operation

Yellow Light Flashing every 1 second, with a long flash on the 10

Green Flashing

• One flash per second indicates bluePRINT SYNC is currently looking for GPS lock.

• Two quick flashes indicate bluePRINT SYNC had GPS lock but has lost it. This is a normal condition that can be

affected by line of sight to the sky.

Signal Troubleshooting

During bluePRINT initialization from the sleep state, bluePRINT Sync

there are obstructions blocking a view of the sky. Common obstructions are parking garages and indoor repair

facilities. This is normal; moving the vehicle to an area where a clear signal is available will allow the system to

update and acquire GPS lock.

Error Condition

If both lights are flashing simultaneously every second, an error has occurred. Please contact SoundOff Signal

MOUNTING:

After verifying normal operation, mount the GPS antenna in the permanent location and re-install any paneling removed in the hardware installation steps.

Secure the bluePRINT SYNC module.

PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS:

• bluePRINT SYNC works by controlling the timing of light patterns. Two (or more) bluePRINT SYNC equipped vehicles with the same pattern active will be synchronized.

• Programmers should consider scenarios where two vehicles can be on a scene at the same time. Because bluePRINT

slide switch position, and other environmental variables can affect the currently displayed pattern.

• Setting all the slide switch positions to fall back to the same flash pattern when the vehicle is in park or at lower speeds is an effective way to ensure synchronization of the vehicles when at a

scene.

• An example of the above: All vehicles switch to the "Road Runner" pattern once below 10mph. This is regardless of the slide switch position or if the vehicle is in park. Once above the 10mph

threshold, lighting patterns switch to "Quint" for slide position 2, and "Warp 1-2-3" for slide position 3.
