Weird federal signal smart siren activity

[movi3king]

Hey guys so I have a ss2000 and I tried connecting one of my lights to aux E and for some reason when the button is on the light is off and when the button is off the light is on... Anyone have any idea what can be wrong? I tried resetting the system twice but problem still remains.


Thanks for all the help!

sounds like its set up to gun lock mode. So there is constant current going to the lock and when you press the button. it deactivates the lock. Allowing you to remove the gun.

1)Enter Programming Mode.


A) Power up the system and wait for startup to finish.


B) Unplug control head.


C) Press RESET and continue to hold.


D) Plug control head back in while continuing to hold RESET.


E) Release the RESET key. You are now in Programming mode.


2)Press the second button from the top left. This will take you into Level One of programming.


3) Press the second button from the right on the top row. This is the Default Configuration button.


4) Once that key is lit/on, press the RESET key. In programming, this is the SAVE key.


Enjoy.

Aux can be connected to gun lock? If yes how do


I change that?

Thank you. I have tried this twice but same issue. Does gun lock fix sound right to you? If yes please feel free to help me change it

make sure you aren't attaching the wire to one of the last 2 ports of "E" they are constant power


if that doesn't help and you reset the siren its possible you have a bad brain, what your describing is a common smart siren issue

Very interesting! I think this may be my issue. I was always wondering why E was different then the others. Just curious what application most people would use the constant power for... Maybe I'll get some good ideas and have to add more lights to my toy. Lol

Just an FYI the Smart Siren Aux E can be setr to 1 of 3 profiles, push on off, momentary, 8 second timed.......the timed profile is whatbyou use for gun locks and attach wire to E NO which is normally open, if theres still no power out of E it may have been set as an either or switch isolated from 12v+ in this way it can be used as a negative switch or a positive, simply by connecting the ground or positive to the C (common) which is in lay terms an input then the NO be energized. Hope this helps

The gun lock thing is probably right, but just in case, would a ground-switching light act like this when connected to a positive-switched setup?

A ground switched light would not at all on the SS...Think about how it's set up. The SS is a positive switching system. Meaning, it sends power to a light that has already been grounded when you tell it to. A ground-switching light is always connected to power, it's shut off by interrupting the ground and "breaking" the circuit. So the light in your case would never work...Even when you're sending power to the light from the SS, it's never grounded, and it'll never complete the circuit.

Isn't the E switch a Normally Open or Normally Closed switch? Likely hooked to the wrong on, the normally closed. Move it to the other E terminal.

Thanks guys will give this a try I believe you guys answered my question.
