servicing the SmartSiren Platinum siren amplier/relay module. The safety messages presented in this
chapter and throughout the manual are reminders to exercise extreme care at all times. In addition,
read and understand the safety instructions to installers (doc. no. 256A692), and keep it close at hand
for reference.
To download copies of this manual, go to www.fedsig.com or call the Federal Signal Service
Department at 1-800-433-9132 (708-534-3400) 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (CT).
Safety Messages to Installers of Sound/Light Systems
People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is
important to read and follow all instructions shipped with this product. In addition, listed below are
some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
Before Installation
Qualications
• To properly install an electronic siren, you must have a good understanding of automotive
electrical procedures and systems, along with prociency in the installation and service of safety
warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manuals when performing equipment
installations on a vehicle.
Sound Hazards
• Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to your emergency vehicle, could be damaged
by loud sounds. This can occur from short exposures to very loud sounds, or from longer
exposures to moderately loud sounds. For hearing conservation guidance, refer to federal, state,
or local recommendations. OSHA Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on “Permissible Noise
Exposure.”
• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing
loss. Always minimize your exposure to siren sound and wear hearing protection. Do not sound
the siren indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to the sound.
• Federal Signal siren amplier/relay modules and speakers are designed to work together as a
system. Combining a siren and speaker from different manufacturers may reduce the warning
effectiveness of the siren system and may damage the components. You should verify or test your

SmartSiren Platinum Convergence Network
Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators
8
combination to make sure the system works together properly and meets federal, state and local
standards or guidelines.
During Installation
• Do NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product can cause the
system to fail. If drilling must be done near the unit, place an ESD approved cover over the unit to
prevent metal shavings from entering the unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are
no shavings present in or near the unit.
• Do NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are
made, mounting of all components is complete, and you have veried that no shorts exist. If
wiring is shorted to vehicle frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in
electrical res or ying molten metal.
• Be sure the siren amplier/relay module and speaker(s) in your installation have compatible
wattage ratings.
• In order for the electronic siren to function properly, the ground connection must be made to the
NEGATIVE battery terminal.
• Sound output will be severely reduced if any objects are in front of the speaker. If maximum
sound output is required for your application, you should ensure that the front of the speaker is
clear of any obstructions.
• Install the speaker(s) as far forward on the vehicle as possible, in a location which provides
maximum signaling effectiveness and minimizes the sound reaching the vehicle’s occupants.
Refer to the National Institute of Justice guide 500-00 for further information.
• Mounting the speakers behind the grille will reduce the sound output and warning effectiveness of
the siren system. Before mounting speakers behind the grille, make sure the vehicle operators are
trained and understand that this type of installation is less effective for warning others.
• Sound propagation and warning effectiveness will be severely reduced if the speaker is not facing
forward. Carefully follow the installation instructions and always install the speaker with the
projector facing forward.
• Do NOT install the speaker(s) or route the speaker wires where they may interfere with the
operation of airbag sensors.
• Installation of two speakers requires wiring speakers in phase.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment, which connects to the vehicle wiring, without
reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Insure that your
installation will not affect vehicle operation and safety functions or circuits. Always check vehicle
for proper operation after installation.
• Do NOT install equipment or route wiring or cord in the deployment path of an airbag.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to
be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
• Locate the control head so the vehicle, controls, and microphone can be operated safely.

Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators

SmartSiren Platinum Convergence Network
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything
that could be damaged.
After Installation
• After installation, test the siren and light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions and vehicle light
systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that installation has not affected vehicle operation or
changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.
• After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the instructional staff and all
operating personnel.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or reinstalling the
product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury,
or death.

Safety Messages to Operators of Sound/Light Systems
People’s lives depend on your safe operation of Federal Signal products. It is important to read and
follow all instructions shipped with the products. In addition, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a hazardous
situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely effective. People
may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this fact and continue driving
cautiously.
• Also, situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-made
objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood or trunk lid. If these
situations occur, be especially careful.
• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain situations, permanent
hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider taking appropriate safety precautions, such
as wearing hearing protection.
• In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be hazardous
to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a
close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
• It is important that you fully understand how to safely operate this warning system before use.
• You should only operate your vehicle and its light/sound system in accordance with your
department’s Standard Operating Procedures.

SmartSiren Platinum Convergence Network
Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators

• If a selected function does not perform properly or if any of the lamps remain illuminated when
the control is off, disconnect the power connector from the control unit and contact the nearest
service center.
• At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren
system is securely attached and operating properly.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the tiniting, and the
angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt, defects, and steeply angled glass reduce
the light output of the warning light. This may reduce the effectiveness of the light as a warning
signal. If your vehicle has dirty, tinted, or steeply angled glass, use extra caution when driving
your vehicle or blocking the right of way with your vehicle.
• Suction cup mounting is for temporary applications only. The unit should be removed from the
window and stored securely when not in use. Temperature changes and sunlight can cause suction
cups to lose holding power. Periodically check the unit to be sure the suction cups have a rm grip
on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light could fall off of the vehicle causing injury
and damage.
• The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface nish, surface
atness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface.
Therefore, to promote proper magnetic mounting:
✓ The mounting surface and magnets must be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that
prevent good surface contact.
✓ Ensure that the mounting surface is at.
✓ A magnet mounting system should not be used on vehicles with vinyl tops.
✓ To prevent the light assembly from sliding on mounting surface, avoid quick acceleration and
hard stops.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

CHAPTER 2
An Overview of the SmartSiren Platinum
The SmartSiren Platinum siren amplier/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 amplier/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.
The module provides the automatic, simultaneous light and siren activation required by some
jurisdictions. A security shotgun timer is also provided to minimize the possibility of unauthorized
shotgun release. The module has six easily accessible Convergence™ Network serial ports that
connect the control head and any serially-controlled Federal Signal product. A variety of system
features can be programmed with the Convergence Network Conguration Software from a computer
via a crossover Ethernet cable that connects the control head. System features include ash patterns,
siren tones, and momentary, push-on/push-off, or timed relay operation. Programming does not
require disassembling or removing any hardware from the vehicle.
Siren, PA, and Speakers
The Smart Siren produces wail, yelp, priority, and hi-lo siren tones, as well as an air horn sound. The
horn-ring transfer feature enables the driver to control siren tones by pressing the horn button. Public
address is available with the Federal Signal microphone, which is included with the system. Radio
rebroadcast is also available. The Model SSP3000B module can drive one or two 11-ohm impedance,
100 W speakers, and the Model SSP2000B module can drive one. Two speakers must always be
connected in parallel and in phase.
Lightbars and SignalMasterTM Control
Compatible lightbars include full featured, serially-controlled Federal Signal Arjent®S2, Legend®,
ValorTM, and Integrity®as well as the SpectraLuxTM ILS Series of interior-mounted lightbars. A
full-featured SignalMasterTM controller is integrated into the system. In addition, ash rates and
patterns, lightbar dimming, and other options can be programmed with the Convergence Network
Conguration Software.
Programmable Solid-State Auxiliary Relays
The Model SSP3000B has 14 solid-state relays: ten 10 A high-low and four 3 A high.
The Model SSP2000B has 11 solid-state relays: one 10 A high-low, six 10 A high, and four 2 A high.

Chapter 2: An Overview of the Convergence Network
SmartSiren Platinum Convergence Network
12
Programmable Input Circuits
Both models of the siren amplier/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. The inputs
are most commonly used for switches that send a signal to the siren amplier/relay module 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 control head has connections for four active-low inputs that activate when pulled to ground.
Similar to the relay circuits, they can be congured to operate with the Convergence system control
head or with the congurable switches on the steering wheel of the Ford Police Interceptor.
LED Indicators and Visual Diagnostics (Model SSP3000B Only)
LEDs visible just below the surface of the siren amplier/relay module indicate when power is
supplied to the auxiliary outputs and if the module is transmitting and receiving data. LEDs also
indicate when a signal is received by the four input circuits and if the lightbar is functioning.
Externally mounted mini-blade fuses for the siren, horn-ring circuit, SignalMaster, and auxiliary
relays have LEDs that glow when the fuse fails, making them easy to spot.
All buttons on the control head glow when the system is on. Pressed buttons turn bright to indicate
that the function they control is active. LEDs under the SmartSiren logo mimic these active
SignalMaster patterns: Left, Right, Center-Out, or Warn patterns 1 to 4. An LED glows over the
position in which the slide switch is placed.

effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury or death.
SEAT REMOVAL PRECAUTION: If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify
with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper
airbag deployment.
UNIT REQUIRES AIR FLOW (SSP3000B ONLY): The siren amplier/relay module
is cooled by an internal fan. Do not install it in areas where the air ow is
restricted. Do not mount the unit near a heater duct or under the hood.
MODULE IS NOT WATERPROOF: The housing of the siren amplier/relay module
is NOT waterproof. The module must be mounted in a location that is sheltered
from falling rain, snow, standing water, etc.
For the control head, select a mounting location that allows the vehicle, controls, and microphone to
be operated safely under all driving conditions. To identify safe mounting areas for equipment inside
the vehicle, consult the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. To avoid driver distraction and unreliable
switch activation, the mounting location must not allow any movement of the control head. Do not
select a headded surface for the mounting location of the control head. For the siren amplier/relay
module, suggested mounting locations are under the dash, under the front seat, or in the trunk under
the rear deck near the rear-seat speakers. Wiring connectors are located on the back of the siren
amplier/relay module. Terminals for the ground and power connections are located on each side
toward the rear.

Preparing for the Convergence Network Installaton
HIGH CURRENT ARCING: Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery until
ALL other electrical connections are made and you have veried that no shorts
exist. High current conductors can cause hazardous sparks or burning wire
resulting in electrical res.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: When drilling holes, check the area into which you are
drilling to be sure that you do not damage vehicle components while drilling. All
drilled holes should be deburred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All
wiring routings going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or
convolute/split loom tubing.
To prepare the vehicle for connecting the Convergence Network system:
1. After planning where to route the wires and cables for the system components—such as Federal
Signal warning lights, directional lights, and speakers—drill the holes for the wiring. Smooth,
deburr, and insert a grommet in the holes.
2. Mount the system components according to the instructions included with each product.
The next sections describe how to connect and wire each system component to the siren amplier/
relay module.
Connecting the Convergence Network
There are three network ports on the upper left rear corner of the siren amplier/relay module. These
ports connect Federal Signal network devices through RS-485 communication cables.
Network devices include:
◆ The system control head, which must be connected to a serial port on the siren amplier/relay
module. Use the 25-foot FS Convergence Network cable (P/N 1751357-02) to connect the
control head to the module.
◆Exterior-mounted, full-size lightbars, such as the Arjent®S2, Legend®, ValorTM, and Integrity®.
Congurable options include ash patterns and functions, such as dimming, takedowns, and alley
lights.
◆ILS System lightbars that include three models of single-level LED lightbars — Front ILS, Rear
Lower ILS, and Rear Upper ILS — that mount on the inside of a vehicle windshield. Congurable
options include ash patterns and functions, such as dimming, takedowns, and alley lights.
Figure 3.4 on page 21 shows the network connections on the back of the siren amplier/relay module.
For instructions on mounting network devices, refer to the instructions included with the products.
