LIGHT CONTROLS

A 4-position slide switch provides control of primary lighting functions. It also provides automatic activation of the siren. Four pushbuttons for additional lighting or controlling other devices. The power switch on the hand control must be ON for light controls to function.

Slide Switch

The slide switch provides progressive (additive) control of lighting functions. Position 1 turns on L1 output. Position 2 turns on L1 and L2 outputs. Position 3 turns on L1, L2, and L3 outputs. Position 3 also turns on the siren (Automatic Siren).

The slide switch position outputs OUT1 and OUT2 are for setups that require a non-progressive slide switch. Only Position 1 will turn on OUT1. Only Position 2 will turn on OUT2. In Position 3 the L3 output can be used since only Position 3 will turn this on.

Slide Switch

Note that OUT1 and OUT2 are not fused and intended to drive external relays. These outputs can only drive loads up to 500mA each.

Slide Switch Reverse

The Option Switch can be set to reverse the slide switch positions. Position 1 and Position 3 operations are reversed or swapped.

Slide Switch Position	Slide Switch Reverse OFF		Slide Switch Reverse ON
OFF	L1, L2, L3, OUT1, OUT2 ALL OFF		L1, L2, L3, OUT1, OUT2 ALL OFF
1	L1, OUT1 ON		L1, L2, L3 ON	(Auto Siren)
2	L1, L2, OUT2	ON	L1, L2, OUT2	ON
3	L1, L2, L3 ON	(Auto Siren)	L1, OUT1 ON

Automatic Siren

Position 3 of the Slide Switch (or 1 with Slide Switch Reversed) provides Automatic Siren. If the siren controls are set where there is no siren tone output, the Automatic Siren will override with Wail. The only exception is PA Override or Cutout activation.

Automatic Siren may be disabled with the Option Switch.

Auxiliary Output Switches

Four pushbutton switches are provided for various other lighting functions or device control. Legends above the switch light up when the switch is on.

Legends

Different legends may be selected to match the device controlled by aux output switch. A sheet of stick-on legends is supplied.

Auxiliary Output Switches

Select the legend and place centered over the legend area. Press down on the legend to stick over clear window and tuck under rubber framing. Gently lift up on the sides of rubber framing to help cover the edges of the legend.

To remove a legend, use a thin edge to gently push rubber frame aside and pry between legend and clear window. Try not to puncture clear window. The stick-on adhesive is strong.

Blank (black) legends are provided for aux output switches with no function. The white back- ground legends may be written on with permanent marker to create custom legends.
