Whelen MPC01

http://10-99products.com/UsedSirens.aspx at the bottom of the page. I've bought multiple items from this guy including 90% of the lights and equipment I own. He has the MPC01 w/o the wiring harness but has the amp. and contol head. I've got 2 questions...can I use this with LED's b/c all of the stuff I've researched on it says it's used w/ a BLink strobe bar. So I'm kinda confused on that. And number 2 is can I buy a wiring harness from Whelen for or am I screwed w/ that. I'm gonna call em on Monday, but I'm just trying to get a second opinion.


Thanks guys!

There's a serial controlled relay box required to activate non-serial controlled items.

I just bought my MPC01 and BL627 and im hooking them up now. The control head requires a communication cable, aux cable(I dont plan on using it), and a power cable that does the backlighting and some other pointless stuff. Not including the harness needed for the BL627.


The BL627 harness(9 pin) can be bought of eBay and then you just need to solder the wires and the pins together at the right spots. As for the MPC01, it uses very thin (maybe 20 gauge) wires and connecters that are hard to find.


The mpc01 wires are the most important, and I don't believe they can be purchased from whelen. I looked on their website and didn't see replacement parts for it.


Do yourself a favor and buy everything together.

Contact Whelen about the plugs, they may have part numbers for the harnesses that could be ordered by a dealer. The B-link relay/switching box you need is a BL8140 (8-outlet). I thing an older part, but similar is a BL420A (4-outlet).

Thanks yall! I ended up buying a Code 3 Mastercom from him. It'd be quicker than waiting for the harness and not being able to run code for however long that would take!
