Computer Confi gurable-Cont:
Scroll On/Off - The Scroll On/Off mode works like the Scroll mode except the Z3 Siren will scroll the primary tones through an off state. The Z3 Siren
will scroll from Off to Wail to Yelp to Alt Tone and then back to Off. The Remote input can be confi gured to activate Scroll On/Off. Holding the vehicle
horn ring for greater than a half second will cause the Z3 Siren to generate the Air Horn.
❙ ❚ ❯ ❱ ❲ The InterClear output will turn on for 8 seconds anytime the Z3 Siren operates the Scroll On/Off mode. The InterClear output provides a
+12V signal to control an external device for additional warning.
Load Management - The Load Manager allows setup of three Dropout Voltage Groups by selecting which output to drop out when the vehicle power
levels fall below the specifi ed voltage for that group. The default is for no groups to drop out. See the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software User Manual
for confi guration details.
LoadMGR TM - This output can control the power supplied to other loads in the vehicle. The power to these loads can be turned off when the driver
turns off the vehicle or the voltage of the battery for the vehicle has dropped below a predetermined voltage level. If the Sleep Mode timer is set to a
value other than instant, the LoadMGR will turn off after the Sleep Mode timer has expired (see the defi nition of Sleep Mode). This output is current
limited to 1 amp continuous. Connecting the LoadMGR output to an external relay will allow larger external loads to be controlled. The InterClear
®
wire is used for the LoadMGR function. InterClear and LoadMGR cannot be confi gured simultaneously.
Overvoltage Protection - The Z3 Siren is designed with an enhanced Overvoltage Protection circuit. This circuit will monitor the input voltage to the
Z3 Siren and will shut off the siren tones if an overvoltage condition is detected. This protects the speaker driver from damage. This feature has been
enhanced to operate with today’s vehicle charging systems. The Z3 Siren will generate siren tones for 15 minutes even in an overvoltage condition.
After 15 minutes the siren tones will be turned off. If the siren tones are still required, the tone can be turned off and on again by pressing the siren
tone push-button. This will provide an additional 15 minutes of operation. This feature can be disabled.
Please see the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software User’s Manual for details.
Park Kill - By default, the Park Kill puts the siren tones in standby and drops out the Level 3A output. Park Kill occurs when the vehicle is shifted into
park. The default for the polarity of the Park Kill input is ground (confi gurable to a +12V). Once Park Kill is activated, the siren tones are in standby.
The siren tones will remain in standby until the vehicle is shifted into drive and an action occurs such as pressing one of the Control Head
push-buttons, changing the position of the 3-Level Switch, or keying the microphone. The Level 3A and siren tones are in standby during Park Kill
and the Auxiliary push-buttons are not affected by the Park Kill function by default. See the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software manual for details.
InterClear ® - The InterClear output will turn on for 8 seconds anytime the Z3 Siren operates the Hit-N-Go, Scroll, Scroll On/Off or Hands-Free Scroll.
The InterClear output provides a +12V signal to control an external device for additional warning. It is internally current limited at 1 Amp. The
InterClear feature is disabled if the LoadMGR is confi gured. See the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software manual for details.
EU Lock - This function is to meet the requirements of some European Union countries to verify that the Warning Lights for the emergency vehicle
are operational before allowing the siren to generate tones. This is normally disabled. When confi gured as the EU Lock input all other confi gurations
of the Remote are disabled. In this mode, the Remote is connected to a user supplied light sense module that provides a signal that indicates if the
emergency lights are operational or not. When there is no signal to the Remote input all siren tones will be disabled.
SirenLock - SirenLock is used to set which 3-Level Switch position (Level 1, 2 or 3) will allow the Z3 Siren to generate the Primary tones. When
SirenLock is enabled, the Z3 Siren is ‘Locked’ from generating Primary tones until the confi gured 3-Level Switch position is activated. SirenLock
does not affect the MANUAL and AIR HORN push-buttons. The default for SirenLock is disabled and the Z3 Siren will generate Primary tones when
the push-button (Wail, Yelp or Alt) is activated regardless of the position of the 3-Level Switch.
LightAlert - By default, the LightAlert feature will produce an audible “beep” on a periodic basis if any lighting is activated including Auxiliary and
ArrowStik push-buttons. This is intended to alert the operator that lights are on. The Z3 Siren Confi guration Software allows this feature to be
disabled for individual functions.
Sleep Mode - This is by default set to instantly turn off the Z3 Siren when the vehicle ignition is turned off. This can also be set in the confi guration
software to turn off after 10, 20, or 30 minutes or 1, 2, or 4 hours. The Z3 Siren can be forced to exit Sleep Mode and turn off instantly by pressing
and holding the FLASH push-button for 1 second.
