An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum The SmartSiren Platinum siren amplifier/relay module is a full-featured, ® programmable electronic siren and light control system. State-of-the-art microprocessor technology is used to create a system with a small, compact control head and a siren amplifier/relay module that can be installed in the trunk, under the dashboard, or under the seat of any vehicle with a 12 V negative ground system.
An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum Programmable Input Circuits Both models of the siren amplifier/relay modules have connections for four relay input circuits. Relay inputs 1 and 2 are active-low inputs that activate a switch when pulled to ground. Relay inputs 3 and 4 are active-high inputs that activate a switch when pulled to 12 Vdc battery voltage.

Connecting the Convergence Network Connecting the Convergence Network Before permanently installing the SmartSiren Platinum system, plan all wire ® routings and select the mounting locations for the siren amplifier/relay module and control head. Read and understand all instructions included with related equipment before installing it.
Connecting the Convergence Network module. Terminals for the ground and power connections are located on each side toward the rear. IMPORTANT: To maintain the reliability of the Model SSP3000B amplifier/relay module, which is cooled by a fan, ensure that there is enough room for the flow of air.
Connecting the Convergence Network Overview of the Convergence Network Connections The Convergence Network system has these types of connections via cables and locking connectors included with the kit. See Figure 4. Connections for the siren amplifier/relay module: • Three “plug and play” serial ports that communicate on the Federal Signal Convergence network with the control head, compatible light bars, and the Federal Signal Model 660100 Relay Module/Two-Channel Flasher.

Connecting the Convergence Network Preparing for the Convergence Network Installation HIGH CURRENT ARCING: Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are made and you have verified that no shorts exist. High current conductors can cause hazardous sparks or burning wire, resulting in electrical fires.
Connecting the Convergence Network To connect the devices: 1. Carefully route the cables from the network devices through the vehicle to the connectors on the siren amplifier/relay module. 2. To provide strain relief, secure the cables with installer-supplied clamps and hold-downs.
Connecting the Convergence Network Table 7 Descriptions of configurable activation options for 10 A relays Configured Description Activation Active High The relay supplies +12 Vdc during the “on” state. Active Low The relay supplies ground during the “on” state. The relay is open during the “off” state, a condition similar to an open Open Off electromechanical relay.

Connecting the Convergence Network Connections for Rear External Discrete SignalMaster (SSP3000B Only) ™ Cable assembly 1751542-01 includes 18-inch, 20 AWG wires for six-head and eight- head SignalMaster light bars that are wired discretely. These directional warning lights are standalone light bars, rather than part of a full-featured, serial-controlled light bar, with separate wires for each light head.
Connecting the Convergence Network Connections for Relay Inputs 1 to 4 Cable assemblies P/N 1751542-01 and P/N 1751542-NY include 18-inch, 20 AWG wires for four relay circuit inputs. Figure 9 shows the connectors for the four input leads on the back of the amplifier/ relay module. Inputs 1 to 4 are most commonly used for circuits that send a signal to the SSP3000B system when a condition in the vehicle changes.
Connecting the Convergence Network Connections for the Ambient Light Sensor The SSP3000B and SSP2000B both support Federal Signal light bars equipped with an ambient light sensor. The software uses Input 1 to activate functions when the light bar senses low light. No extra connections are needed to support this feature.
Connecting the Convergence Network Speaker Connections (Cable Assembly P/N 17500307) The SSP2000B siren amplifier operates with one 11 ohm impedance, 100 W speaker. The SSP3000B is designed to operate with one or two 11 ohm impedance, 100 W speakers. Software-configurable options include a variety of siren tones, horn ring transfer, slide switch operation, and siren activation or siren mute.
Connecting the Convergence Network Horn Ring Transfer (Cable Assembly 17500307) The default setting for the slide switch transfers the horn-ring activation of the siren in Slide Switch 2 and 3. In Slide Switch 2, a press of the horn button activates the Manual tone.

Connecting the Convergence Network Radio Rebroadcast (Cable Assembly 17500307) To allow incoming two-way radio messages to be amplified by the siren amplifier/ relay module and rebroadcast over the siren speakers, connect the brown 18 AWG two-conductor zip-cord across the speaker of the two-way radio. See Figure 14. Insulate spliced leads with twist-on wire connectors.
Connecting the Convergence Network Connecting the Control Head In addition to the connection through the 25-foot Convergence Network cable, the control head has: • Connections for four active-low input circuits that activate when pulled to ground (17500308) • Connections to the siren for battery ground (–GND) and +12 Vdc switched by ignition or battery +12 Vdc for ignition timers (17500308) •...
Connecting the Convergence Network Each input circuit can be programmed to activate with an installer-supplied switch having a current capacity of 100 mA , with the SSP3000B control head, or with the two-way switches on the steering wheel of the Ford Police Interceptor. For the location of the vehicle 14-way connector for the ground-sourcing outputs, refer to the Ford Police Interceptor Modifier Manual.
Connecting the Convergence Network To connect the control head to ignition power: 1. Use a multimeter to determine which source provides power when the vehicle key is in the ignition position. 2. Connect the yellow lead from the control head to the switched side of the vehicle ignition harness.
Connecting the Convergence Network Connecting the Siren to the Battery This section has instructions for making the power connections from the SmartSiren to the battery. Required are an installer-supplied in-line fuse and wiring ® of an amperage capacity sufficient to handle the total vehicle electrical loads. EXPLOSION HAZARD: To avoid a battery explosion, always disconnect the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last.
Connecting the Convergence Network 4. Reconnect the positive cable to the vehicle battery and tighten the clamp. 5. Reconnect the negative cable to the vehicle battery and tighten the clamp. Figure 17 Negative ground connection for the control head Terminal 1/4"-20, SS Ext.
Setting the Gain for Radio Rebroadcast and PA Setting the Gain for Radio Rebroadcast and PA The radio rebroadcast feature allows incoming two-way radio messages to be amplified by the siren amplifier/relay module and rebroadcast over the siren speakers of the SSP3000B system. The feature overrides all sirens functions. Button 7 is programmed as the default control for radio rebroadcast.
Setting the Gain for Radio Rebroadcast and PA Figure 19 Gain control for radio rebroadcast (siren amplifier/relay module) Radio Rebroadcast Gain Control Setting the Gain for Public Address (Microphone Volume) The PA gain control port on the front of the siren amplifier is for select models that require the microphone to be connected to the siren.
Mounting the Siren and Control Head Mounting the Siren and Control Head The next step in the installation after wiring and connecting the SSP3000B/ SSP2000B system is to permanently mount the siren amplifier/relay module and control head in the vehicle. Verify that the mounting locations you selected earlier are safe for installing these components.
