  • sirennet.com/whccsrn36.html The Whelen CenCom Sapphire Siren and Light Control System delivers what you have been asking for in a sleeker, tougher, and more advanced design. The CCSRN36 comes with a 3 Section Control Head that has 8-Push Buttons, a 4-Position Slide Switch, a 7-Position Rotary Knob, plus Manual, Airhorn and 3 Traffic Advisor Switches. The CenCom Sapphire adds an integrated WeCan serial port for connecting your Whelen WeCan series lightbar directly to the Amplifier Control Module. No more bulky wires and secondary boxes to contend with. Just plug in and go!
    Indicator LEDs have been added to each output creating a simple, way to troubleshoot shorted or broken connections in your vehicle's wiring. Fuses and connections are easily accessible without having to use any tools or remove any covers. All high current outputs are fused for your convenience.
    New, heavy-duty power and output connectors can handle rough treatment without damage or accidental disengagement and are easily accessible on the front face of the Amplifier Control Module. Configuration programming is easier than ever with newly redesigned CenCom Sapphire software. CenCom Sapphire retains the highly regarded simplicity of our previous CenCom software, with new features and added flexibility; including the ability to configure your Whelen WeCan lightbar!
    Features:
    Control your warning lights, siren and Traffic Advisor functions from a single keypad.
    Solid-state outputs: one 40-Amp, two 20-Amp, four 10-Amp, and four 250-milliAmp.
    Relay output: one 10-Amp Dry Contact Relay.

    Easy to configure using the included CenCom Sapphire Windows application.
    Configured programs may be extracted, modified and stored for ease of service and reuse.
    A USB port on the Amplifier Control Module provides easy access for programming. The control head need not be connected for programming.
    Each button is individually customizable for numerous button types (Press on/Press off, momentary, etc).
    Control head backlighting can be easily turned on or off for high visibility on patrol or blacked out for discrete night operations.
    Brightly backlit push-buttons include standard function labels to choose from.
    Rugged, aluminum-housed Amplifier Control Module is field-serviceable with easy access to fuses and connections.

    Can you guys show or explain how to wire additional lights to the cencom, I have a Liberty II WC and wiring was super simple, but I am struggling to figure out how to wire a fusion 600 light stick, 2 mpower fascia lights, and soundoff ultralite stick. Once they are wired how do I program them in the software for example when I press my flood light switch, the Liberty II goes into flood mode, I want my 600 series fusion light stick to go into flood mode as well. Thanks for the help!

      It'd be a lot of typing to explain how it's done :) If you haven't already, we'd suggest getting in touch with Whelen's Technical Service department & asking for help with software. They can be reach at (860) 526-9504.

      CenCom Sapphire's don't allow for Light-head Flash Pattern programming. For that you'd need to use Whelen's CarBide or CORE Controller.

    How do you get the PA to work I have the unit powered up and tones all work but no sound when I push the PTT button on mic.

    • @SIRENNET
      @SIRENNET  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Kyle. Have you tried adjusting the PA volume? It might be turned all the way down.
      For volume adjusting you'll want to locate the PA adjustment potentiometer on the right side of the
      CenCom module. Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, set the
      potentiometer to its middle position. With the CenCom system on,
      activate the PTT (Push To Talk) feature on the optional microphone.
      Adjust the potentiometer until a satisfactory PA volume level is achieved
      using a normal speaking voice.
      If this doesn't yield any results please let us know.

    How is the Break Light Disable function work? Is their a system for it?

    • @SIRENNET
      @SIRENNET  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Whelen Cencoms do not offer a "Black-out" function for disabling the rear tail/brake lights. Some manufactures offer an add-on Module for "Black-out", however, most of the new 2014/15 Vehicles do not allow for deactivated brake/tail lights.

    How can LED headlights wig-wag? Our emergencyehicle's LED headlights have a cooling fan which operates when the LED is turned on. The fan is connected to the LED wire internally, not through a wire from the plug.

      An inline resistor can be used to lower the siren tone output. You can't make any changes to the intensity of lighting unless it has a low-power mode / trigger wire. Reducing voltage won't reduce output.
