The Universal Controller (CVS-12) consists of a main control box which contains everything required to control a complete ‘standard’ vehicle mounted hazard warning system, typically comprising of a rooftop lightbar, secondary hazard warning lights and audio (built-in siren) equipment. It has 16 high power outputs, 16 inputs and 16 monitor outputs. It also supports power management functions including run lock, split charging, load shedding and headlight flash, plus many more, some of which may be implemented via the vehicle CAN Bus system. It also has an integrated Siren & PA facility and the ability to control an add-on Gateway Radio Controller with voice prompts.

Operate the controller through one of our range of fully compatible hand held or dash mounted switch units and you have an economical hazard warning control system that does not compromise on features or functionality.

System Intelligence
The main control unit can be used in its standard format utilising the factory settings that are appropriate for most everyday hazard warning applications, or it can be customised either by RSG or the customer using the ‘free’ application software provided.

Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Operate the controller through one of the Multi-Way handsets and you have an economical hazard warning control system that does not compromise on features and functions. Each of the handsets have the facility to operate a Public Address (PA) system via an integral microphone and the option to allocate an appropriate button to operate as the Push to Talk (PTT) feature. See pages 3:32-3:33 for full details.

One Source, One Solution
In order to simplify the installation process each unit is supplied fully loaded with all the necessary features and functions to implement a comprehensive system. Simply enable the required functions via the ‘easy to use’ software.

Logic and Timer Functions
A handset switch function can be ‘AND’ed with a standard or inverted input. Also two timer module functions are available that can be set in 1 minute increments.

Audio Capability
Live voice announcements can be made with the units Public Address facility using either the microphone built into the various handsets or via a separate hand-held fist microphone with an appropriate adaptor.

System Configuration
This is a simple 3-Stage process which entails enabling and labelling inputs and outputs, configuring the system operation and downloading the application onto the unit via the built-in control panel or with a PC in conjunction with a Dongle. This operation need only be done once and when completed it can be simply transferred onto other units from either the PC and separate Dongle unit (available to purchase separately) or solely with the Dongle if no changes/updates are anticipated.

Compatible Handsets: MCS-T8, MCS-T10 and MCS-T17
