Hello all,
I have a question about what capabilities my setup will have. We are in the process of having new trucks up-fitted for work. pretty basic set up without any sexy smart controllers like carbide's or blueprints.
The build includes a Whelen 295SLSA6 siren/ light control, a Whelen InnerEdge, 14 Whelen Ion's throughout the body, and 8 Whelen M4's. These are large Ford F-350's with enclosed utility bodies and the lights are spaced out to provide adequate 360° coverage. half the lights are red/ half blue like you'd expect on Police vehicles in this area. additionally the InnerEdge is Red/Blue.
I've drawn out where we want the lights to be installed for coverage but my question is am i stuck with one pattern and only phasing to separate the red/blue on the body? i'm not an installer and only have limited knowledge what you folks are capable of doing as far as different flash patterns depending on slide switch position etc.
Ideally I would want slide position 1 to be just the rear lights, slide 2 all lights minus take downs/ wig wags in a slow (think CHP) flash pattern and slide 3 to be everything including takedowns in a faster flash pattern like a SignalAlert. Does this capability exist or am i limited to one flash pattern and Red being phase 1/ Blue phase 2 to sync the lights and prevent red/blue being activated at the same time.
I'm not doing the install/build, its being done professionally. I just want to know what to ask them for/ what they can do with this setup.
Thanks in advance for your help
