I have recognized two italian siren tones generated from The Whelen CenCom Sapphire Siren Have: it's an italian siren tone of carabinieri and other italian siren tone of polizia, i have suspect of this multiple siren tone generator is produced in the USA and in the all Europe countries, including Italy; the difference of American light bar supplied with Whelen CenCom Sapphire Siren with European (Italian) Light bar with another italian Light and beacons controller siren tone generator is Blue Beacon Lights supplied on italian polizia and italian Carabinieri Vehicles
Hi. maybe you can help me out. i have no backlight on my controlhead. main plus/minus attached, also ignition wire and backlight trigger. any suggestions? greetings from germany
By default, the backlighting is very dim. You can adjust it in Output -> [your control head] -> Set Backlight Intensity. If it's still not working then make sure you have the right control head.
You need power to the two thick red power cables and to the ignition and backlighting inputs. Ground to the two thick black cables. That's all you need for it to power on.
@@SkyDream0655 Different departments use different tones. Faster tones are typically used when there is more traffic like at an intersection. The international tones are used by departments outside of the United States.
They don't make controllers with enough buttons for these tones. Brain overload trying to remember where they are all assigned to. Great video nonetheless 🙂
Honestly IMO THE BEST SIRENS U WILL EVER HEAR
Well done! Thank you. Low frequencies travel farther and penetrate vehicles better. But many of these dwell on the peak frequencies.
1:31 federal signal?!
Greenvile emergency Vehicles siren Updates be like :
Roblox
Lol
For real 😂
Real
I swear the cencom sounds so good
I agree!
way too high-pitched IMO. Doesn’t travel as good or pierce soundproofing.
Would love a program video and how you managed to push a shift button for even more sounds
I didn’t push a shift button. Each configuration only allows for 15 tones, so I had to reprogram it multiple times to make this video.
@@thelightguy2 Make a progaming video, show how to export from the app to the brians
@@thelightguy2 please make a program video you rock. and what wire makes the backlight work from the brain? The controller has only one plug

Yes, this siren does have those siren tones but I don’t think they use this siren in Italy. They probably use another one that sounds the same.

hello. im having trouble getting my manual coast siren tone to work. it seems to keep switching to the standard tone
Do you have to download these from the computer or are they all factory loaded into it?
You have to download the tones from the computer as a configuration. Each configuration only allows for 15 tones.
Question a buddy of
Mine just got one of these and he what’s to know what type of cords it takes for pc
It's a USB A to USB B cable.
Where can I get all Tones for my cencom Sapphie? 😄
@@markoswelt918 Download the Whelen Command software on their website. This will allow you to program your Sapphire.

Is there any volume controls on the software or hardware?
No there is not, so I installed a resistor in line with one of the speaker wires.
1:32 what is this tone and how do you get it
Whelen calls it the Ultimate Hi-Lo and it’s available in the programming software.
How do you wire this up? I have one and I can't get it to work
You need power to the two thick red power cables and to the ignition and backlighting inputs. Ground to the two thick black cables. That's all you need for it to power on.
@@thelightguy2 I did all that, it powers on and the PA works, but the control head doesn't seem to turn on or function at all
@@jonathanholloway6287 You might have gotten the cencom gold controller, which is what I did at first. Mine has "WeCan Controller" on the back.
@@thelightguy2 I have both, neither are working
@@jonathanholloway6287 I have no idea why it's not working then. Something might be damaged.
1:19 can you make a video dedicated to mechanical wail?
Sure, I'll comment back on this with the link once it's made.

Is installing one of these difficult?
I haven’t installed one of these myself, but it should be pretty straightforward.
what does the different tones mean?

6:12 is nice
1:32
3:28
Why do some of the tones sound like Federal Signal sirens?
I guess Whelen got jealous that Federal Signal had all the cool tones and “took inspiration!”
Do you have deetz 711/211 lights. I need it too
No, I do not have those.
They don't make controllers with enough buttons for these tones. Brain overload trying to remember where they are all assigned to. Great video nonetheless 🙂
Yeah, this specific controller is just a big grid of buttons, but their newer controllers are organized a bit better.
Make me a 21 button controller with a rotary knob and Ill send all my money straight away.
How do u program new tones?
Whelen has a software for programming the Sapphire. I just created a configuration and transferred it to the amplifier.
@@thelightguy2 yea i was wondering if for this model, does the control pad have a ethernet port i need to connect to? Or is it through the amplifier?
@@G5559-k1c The port is in the amplifier. It's a USB-B port.
0:56 1970s / London Sirens
Is this used on police cars or ambulances?
These are usually used on police cars.
@@thelightguy2 cwool!!!
They are on all types on emergency vehicles. Not just cop cars .
I need one
Yes you do
Yeah idk how to get one
1:31 what is this called??
That's Whelen's "Ultimate Hi-Lo" tone. It's a copy of the Federal Signal "Ultra Hi-Lo".
5:41 Carson copy?!
Yeah it sounds pretty similar. Whelen calls it Wail-B.
0:55
Eq2b but on a budget
irish firetrucks use this siren
Cycled through those siren tones way too quick!!!!
