Introduction
The E-2010 Central Control Station is a full function, easy to use, activation and status display unit for
Whelen’s family of High Power Voice and Siren System products. The E-2010 uses Whelen’s standard,
reliable 10 digit DTMF communication protocol.
The E-2010 is an attractive, desktop unit designed for simple connection to a base station transmitter.
The E-2010 has a sealed membrane keyboard and a low power liquid crystal display. The typical warning
activation sequence consists of selecting a Call Key or following a four step process.
There are 62 Call Keys, which allow the user to program and execute pre-defined scenarios. Sixteen of
the Call Keys are “Hot Keys”, while 40 of the Call Keys are auxiliary or low use functions. In addition,
there are two Call Keys activated by Time-of-Day and four Call Keys Activated by Remote Activation
inputs (as described in a later section).
Individual selection and activation may be done as follows:
1. Make a Menu Selection
2. Enter the four digit Address.
3. Select the Channel.
4. Press the Send button.
The user may select from different command, control, status or test functions. The E-2010 supports up to
10,000 unique addresses.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is a 4 line by 40 character configuration. The display is backlit for easy
reading in low ambient light. When the E-2010 is not in use, a running 24 hour clock, day of the week
and a stand by message are displayed.
Internal batteries are continuously “trickle” charged, to provide long life. The E-2010 will maintain its
internal clock for up to 3 months after being unplugged. The E-2010 comes with a UL listed, plug in, AC
wall mount power supply.
Two rear panel, two-piece, screw terminal connectors are available for field wiring to two base station
transceivers. Each connector supports transformer coupled audio, a Push To Talk closure, Squelch
monitor input (active high or low), and Channel Grant input for trunking systems.
A software interface with a PC stores all communication activity to the hard drive. In addition, this
software supports advanced data base handling for printing and manipulation of data.

2
Communication Protocol
The standard communication protocol for Whelen’s High Power Voice and Siren System products is a 10
digit DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) format. This means that the activation command consists of
ten DTMF digits. The status feedback from a remote siren may have from 10 to 18 digits, depending on
the type of feedback status.
The activation command structure is as follows:
Digits 1-3 = System Area Code
Digits 4-7 = Remote Siren Address Code
Digit 8 = Identification Number
Digit 9,10 = Command
Area Code
Each warning system receives a factory assigned area code. Consideration is given to frequency
allocations to minimize the chance of false activation from a neighboring system.
Remote Siren Address Code
Each remote siren within a system is assigned a unique address. In order to accept a command string, the
remote siren must receive the proper area code and address in the proper order, in a certain time span. A
remote siren will reject any command string that does not meet these requirements.
System “all calls” are permitted through the use of the # symbol (or wildcard). The # may be used in all
four address digits to communicate with all remote siren within the area code or the # may be used in
specific positions to communicate with a group of remote sirens. The # may not be used in the area code.
Identification
The eighth digit identifies which Control Center transmitted the command. There may be up to eight
centers within a system.
Command
These digits define the command. This information is provided for reference only, since in the E-2010 all
commands are selected by name and all response strings are decoded into specific names.
(Do not confuse this with the Command Table used in Call Key programming.)

3
Getting Started
These are some general definitions which must be understood before using the E-2010.
KEYBOARD ENTRIES
SEND - Pressing the Send button will transmit a function. There is no second chance or “are you
sure” warning.
CALL KEY - This is a dual function button. Pressing this button, while a Call Key is in progress, will
CANCEL Cancel the Call Key. In addition, this button is used during Menu Selection operations to
escape or restart an operation.
ALARM - Pressing the Alarm Acknowledge button silences the internal alarm buzzer, if it is
ACK enabled. An Alarm Acknowledge message is printed. Output relays are turned off.
UP - Located in the Call Key Menu section. Used to scroll up through groups of Call Keys 17-
(large Up arrow) 26, 27-36, 37-46 or 47-56.
DOWN - Located in the Call Key Menu section. Used to scroll down through groups of Call Keys
(large Down arrow)17-26, 27-36, 37-46 or 47-56.
ENTER - Used to make selections in the Menu Selection portion of the keyboard.
# - The “wildcard” address entry, it equals numerical entries 0 through-9.
ALL - A one button method for entering four # signs, for selecting all remote siren addresses in
the system. This is sometimes referred to as “all call”.
FUNCTION DEFINITIONS
CHANNELS - There are two communication channels, referred to as Channel 1 and Channel 2. This
allows for operating with two radio frequencies or one RF link and one landline.
Transmissions may be sent via either channel. Channel 1 is the default. Channel
selection is part of every transmission.
POLLING - For feedback functions, the E-2010 automatically accesses each remote siren, one at a
time, based on the addresses entered in Polling Setup. This saves the user a considerable
amount of time in collecting information about an entire system. To initiate a Polling
function, select a Status feedback Command. Use an address of ####, press ENTER,
select the Channel and ENTER, and SEND. The following functions are supported by
Polling:
Status Request

Call Keys
Call Keys are the easiest way to manage a siren system, for typical day-to-day situations. In general, a
Call Key is a preprogrammed scenario or sequence of commands, where each command is separated by a
time period. For example, a Wail command is issued to all addresses, followed by a one minute run
period, then a Cancel is sent, followed by a five second period, next a Digital Voice command is sent,
followed by a 30 second period, then a Cancel, followed by a five second period, and so on. The Call
Key may contain any of the commands listed in the Command Table. Each entry is referred to as a
sequence. A single Call Key may have up to 99 sequences (01-99), however, the total number of Call
Key sequences must be less than 2500. When a Call Key is selected and sent, it starts with sequence 01
and continues until the last programmed sequence, it does not repeat. A Call Key can not activate another
Call Key.
There are a total of 62 Call Keys in the E-2010. Sixteen of the Call Keys are “hot” Call Keys, that is,
they are available at the press of a single button, followed by SEND. These are labeled Call Key 1
through Call Key 16. Four additional buttons provide 40 auxiliary Call Keys, in groups of ten. To use an
auxiliary Call Key, press the group button, use the large Up or Down arrows to scroll to the desired Call
Key and press SEND. Four more Call Keys, numbers 57-60, are activated by remote inputs. These are
described in another section. Call Key 61 and Call Key 62 are available as Time-of-Day functions. These
are described in another section.
A Call Key in progress may be canceled by pressing the CALL KEY CANCEL button
CALL KEY PROGRAMMING
Call Keys are programmed one sequence at a time. Each sequence consists of a sequence number, a
command (entered by command number from the Command Number Table), a time (the time period
before the next sequence) and finally the selection of an Edit function. Normally the function will be
Insert, when creating a new Call Key. However, it may be Modify, Finish or Delete. These will be
discussed later.
The small Down arrow is used to scroll through the Call Key programming routine. Upon entering the
Call Key Setup, a screen will appear as shown.
The cursor is the small arrow pointing to the right. With the cursor at the Call Key # entry, use the
numeric keypad to type the number of the Call Key which is to be programmed.

Menu Activation
As an alternative to Call Keys, a second
way of operating the E-2010 is to use a 4
step procedure of selecting individual
functions and addresses through the Menu
Selections and Siren Address sections of the
Keyboard.
Step 1 involves the center portion of the
keypad, as shown. Choose from the Menu
Selections by pressing one of the four large
buttons, as previously described. The
display will show the first entry in the
selected group. Use the Up or Down arrows
to scroll through the functions, within the
selected group, stopping at the desired
function. Typically, scrolling starts with the
Down arrow.
The four large buttons are directly related to Remote Siren activation and status. The eight smaller
buttons are Setup and Configuration controls. Do not access one of the eight smaller buttons during
activation.
Step 2 involves the right-hand portion of the keypad, as shown.
Enter the four digit address of the target remote siren. The
address is entered with the most significant bit first. The # sign
represents a “wildcard” or all values 0 to 9. ALL is a quick way
to enter four # signs, to select all sirens in the system. Press
“ENTER” to accept the screen and to continue.
Example: To enter the address 1234, the press 1 first,
then 2, then 3, and 4 is last. The display will
change as shown below.
ADDR = 1???
ADDR = 12??
ADDR = 123?
ADDR = 1234
Note that entering more than four values will “bump” the address to the left. For instance, assume the
user presses the 5 key, at the end of the previous example. The address will change to 2345.
Step 3 consists of selecting communication channel 1 or 2. The default is 1. Press “ENTER” to accept
the screen and to continue.
Step 4, press “SEND” to make the transmission. This sends the command. There is no second
chance!!

Printing
The E-2010 supports an OKIDATA 184, 9 pin, dot matrix printer. All communication activity,
information that is transmitted or received, is printed. A typical printout consists of: Time, Type (transmit
or receive), Channel #, Raw Message (DTMF string), and the Decoded Message as shown.
In addition to the typical printout, the E-2010 prints the results of a polling function for quick reference,
as shown.
The E-2010 will store a small amount of print information if the printer is disconnected or turned off.
Typically, this is from 6 to 8 lines of data. This buffer is printed when the printer is reconnected or turned
back on.
The proper way to prevent printing is to select printer Off, through the Port Setup function, in Menu
Selections.
The printer is an option. Refer to the Okidata manual for more information regarding printer operation.

Alarms
There are two remote siren conditions which will cause an alarm in the E-2010. They are Low Battery
and Intrusion.
Upon receipt of either alarm, the E-2010 sounds the internal buzzer (assuming it is enabled, see AUDIO
in the Menu Selections section) and activates the appropriate output relay. There are two relay closures.
One is for Low Battery and one is for Intrusion. Each closure is rated at 1/2 amp @ 120 VAC or 1 amp
@ 24 VDC. The connections are described in the Installation section.
Pressing ALARM ACK silences the buzzer and turns off the relay.
PC Interface
If desired, the E-2010 can interface with a personal computer (IBM compatible running Windows 95)
through an RS-232 Serial Communication port. Software is included to allow for the following:
Storing data to the hard drive.
Selectable printing, based on site or date.
Call Key programming (instead of using the E-2010 keyboard).
Call Key descriptions.
Storing data in a format compatible with Microsoft Access.
Follow the installation instructions on the CD-ROM to install and operate the interface software. Use the
9 position D connector cable to connect the Serial port of the E-2010 to a Serial communication port on
the PC.
Note:
The E-2010 operates independent of the PC. Therefore, even
if the PC is doing something else or is off, the E-2010
continues to operate normally.

Installation
This step-by-step procedure for installing the E-2010 is intended for use by a qualified radio technician.
A Phillips screwdriver and a very small flat blade screwdriver will be required for setup.
1. Inspect the E-2010 for any physical damage.
2. Look at the rear panel. From left to right are the following:
AC/DC wall mount power input plug.
User I/O connections.
DTMF Channel 1 connections.
DTMF Channel 2 connections.
Printer connector to Okidata.
Serial connector to PC.
Microphone input jack.
3. Make the Channel 1 DTMF transceiver (and Channel 2, if used) connections at pins 1 through
10. Channel Grant applies to trunking systems only.

5. Remove the two upper Phillips Head screws from each side and three from the back of the unit to
access the circuit board. Slowly lift the cover off, trying not to pull any of the connections apart.
Locate the jumpers and adjustment potentiometers in the center section of the circuit board.
6. The Squelch signal and the Channel Grant signal (Channel Grant is for trunking radio
transceiver only) may be active high or active low. The active state must be set by two jumpers,
inside of the E-2010. The settings must be made for both channels, if both are in use. Determine
the active state of the radio transceiver Squelch signal, and the Channel Grant signal (if
applicable) and set the jumpers, as shown to the right. Place the jumper in the “H” position for
active high or “L” for active low. Factory settings are active high.
7. Plug the AC wall mount into a 115 volt AC source.
8. Set the DTMF Transmit Audio Level, for Channel 1. With the E-2010 on, Send the CANCEL
Command to siren address 0001. While the tone is transmitting, adjust the level potentiometer
for 2.5 KHz deviation. Repeat this step as needed to adjust the level. Repeat for Channel 2, if
required.
9. Set the Microphone Level, for Channel 1. Plug the microphone into the MIC jack. Key up the
microphone and adjust the Microphone Level potentiometer for 4 KHz deviation, while speaking
into the microphone.
Note: The microphone is not included. Refer to Model WPSNCMIC, part # 01-0245719-00.
10. Receive Audio Level is factory set for an input signal of 0 to -10dB.
11. The speaker volume potentiometer is located through the small access hole on the right side of
the E-2010.
Located at the left rear of the E-2010 is a security keylock. Turning the key off will disable all keyboard
entries.
