Federal Signal Smart Siren - Please Read
Hello everyone, I was just curious about this system, The SS2000SM-SC system. I belive this is what the NYPD has. Im going to be going into the academy and wanted to learn somethings before hand. What does each and every button do? I know most of them except some..and on this keypad..where do you turn on your lights? I mean the NYPD cars have the lights over the back seat..in the grill..and the lightbars on top..along with the wig wags..How do you turn all of these on with that keypad? Im guessing Manual is already hooked up to the cars horn, thats why theres no button for it. And while holding the horn down you must press the priority button and air horn button to get those correct? I just need a break down of what all the buttons do etc. Thanks!
Regards,
Phil

I wouldn't worry about it right now. Each is configured differently for each department. It will come into play while you are out playing on the skid pan.
Don't sweat the small stuff.. besides, with NYPD all you need to know is how to use the manual button for the "woop woop!" Never seen a NYPD car going with the siren on full time

Lowband radio. The original and non-complicated wide area interoperable communications system
Then you haven't spent much time in NYC!

I can't think of anything more whacker than asking about something like that before you get in to the academy...
I'd be more worried about figuring out how to best protect myself as an officer, and what I can do to get ahead in learning all the legal and responsible stuff that's required as an officer.
I'm sure you'll have more than ample time to play around with whatever equipment you desire once your in.
Be patient.

Spooky....
That's almost scary that someone would concern themsleves with something like that. And to be THAT worried about it... Almost like 9/11 scary. Just my 2 cents.

There is no ryme or reason as to how they are set up most of the time - NYPDs cars are all over the place on their configurations of how they set up their buttons and slide switch. I think it just depends on which tech at their facility is building their car at the time. Half the time most of it doesnt even work anyhow. We work on a line up of cars that comes out of their fleet services and its pretty much a nightmare each and every time we get one of their cars here.
