FEATURES

Pathfinder® is a compact, programmable siren and light controller available with self-contained controls or remote surface mount control head. Pathfinder is packed with features such as dual-tone and integrated Rumbler intersection clearing capability along with optional Federal Signal Vehicle Integration/On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII) integration. Pathfinder is easy to install and incorporates Convergence Network Configuration Software to provide a high-level of customizable control capability. All new programming software is available as a download from the Federal Signal website making it easy to program one vehicle – or an entire fleet – from your laptop.

Controller Features
Pathfinder provides the user with customized control of the siren, warning lights, directional lights, and other accessories. All controller options feature dual color, programmable push-buttons that turn brighter when activated and can be programmed for press-on, press-off and momentary. The button brightness can be dimmed or turned-off for stealth operation. Over (100) labeling stickers, such as alley, gun lock and wail allow for further customization of the control head. Pathfinder can control the SignalMaster™ directional functions in light bars, ILS systems and “stick” lights that are compatible with FS Convergence Network as well as Latitude™ 3-wire SignalMaster. For convenient visual reference, the Pathfinder emulates the selected pattern of the SignalMaster operation.
Self-contained controls and Remote surface mount controller
The control faceplate includes a four-position progressive slide switch, seven-position rotary switch and (9) backlit push-buttons. Pathfinder also includes (2) programmable speaker diagnostic LEDs on the faceplate that default to Off when speakers are enabled. The noise-canceling microphone that is included with the remote-control head uses a RJ11 connector to plug directly into the control head, eliminating the need to run a mic cable back to the amplifier. For increased versatility the amplifier offers a 1/4″ jack microphone plug option (1/4″ jack microphone and remote extension kit sold separately).
Handheld controller
The handheld controller features (14) backlit push buttons, and the ergonomic design provides convenient volume control and push to talk button on the side of the controller. It also has a magnetic mount and includes brackets for fixed or swivel mounting. The microphone is included in the control head, eliminating the need to run a mic cable back to the amplifier. For increased versatility the amplifier offers a 1/4” jack microphone plug option. (1/4” jack microphone and remote extension kit sold separately).
17 Button Controller
With a similar look and feel to Federal Signal’s SmartSiren Platinum controller, the 17 button controller is specifically designed and programmed to work with the Pathinder Siren. The control head features a four-position progressive slide switch and (17) backlit push-buttons. For visual reference, the control head emulates the selected pattern of the SignalMaster operation. The included noise-cancelling microphone uses a RJ11 connector to plug directly into the control head, eliminating the need to run a mic cable back to the amplifier. For increased versatility, the amplifier offers a ¼” jack microphone plug option (1/4” microphone and remote extension kit sold separately)
Amplifier Features
Pathfinder default siren tones include Wail, Yelp, Priority, Manual/Peak-and-Hold, Hi-Lo, Powercall, and Air Horn. A library of other selectable siren tones are available including Unitrol™ branded siren tones such as Wail, Yelp, Futura, Hi-Lo, Ultra Hi-Lo, Alarm, Air Horn, and Hetro. PA, radio rebroadcast, and Air Horn is standard in the Pathfinder. Pathfinder also includes (2) serial ports to be used with the FS Convergence Network devices such as light bars or directional warning lights for easy “plug-n-play” installation. Other amplifier features include horn ring transfer (TAPII, Timer or Hands-Free), Park, Ignition, and (4) general purpose inputs for trunk/door release, gun lock, intrusion alarms and monitoring K9 temperature systems. The polarity of each input is programmable except for ignition.

Timer Feature
The Pathfinder built-in timer feature senses ignition ON/OFF and allows the selection of multiple time settings. Various devices can be wired to relay outputs on the Pathfinder amplifier (such as in-car video DVRs, radios, and laptop chargers), and a security shotgun timer is provided to minimize the possibility of unauthorized shotgun release. Pathfinder timer feature allows the end user to avoid the extra cost of an external timer per vehicle by allowing each device to be turned off at a different time, unlike many one setting external timers used by departments.

Programming Software Features
The Convergence Network Configuration Software is available as a download from the FS website and siren configurations can be created via a laptop computer. Configured programs can be extracted, modified, and stored for ease of service and re-use. The Federal Signal Convergence Network allows the user to “plug-n-play” simply by connecting the siren to the vehicle’s light bar.
Pathfinder gives the user the ability to clone an entire fleet of siren functions. The user simply connects the Pathfinder to a PC and downloads the functions of the programmed software onto a USB drive to download functions to each siren.

FS Vehicle Integration/On-Board Diagnostics Integration (OBDII)
The FS Vehicle Integration is a simple plug-in connection using the existing vehicle CAN bus system. The FS Vehicle Integration uses a vehicle specific cable (sold separately) to seamlessly integrate with the vehicle allowing light and siren control with vehicle events such as door open, headlight, brake, speed, park, etc. The use of the FS Vehicle Integration removes the need to separately wire certain options such as horn ring transfer or ignition.

Integrated Rumbler® Capability
The Pathfinder is available with built-in Rumbler® Intersection Clearing capability. This allows the Pathfinder to produce a Rumbler tone without the need for a separate externally mounted amplifier. Rumbler capability requires the purchase of Rumbler woofers and vehicle specific mounting kit. Dual tone capability cannot be utilized with the Rumbler capability unless a complete RUMBLER-3-PF, which includes the additional amplifier, is purchased.
Pathfinder + (1) 100 W siren speaker = single tone
Pathfinder + (2) 100 W siren speakers = dual tone
Pathfinder + (1) 100 W speaker + (1) or (2) Rumbler woofers = single tone and Rumbler
Pathfinder + (2) 100 W siren speakers + RUMBLER-3-PF kit (includes two woofers) = Rumbler and dual tone siren (one channel will Rumble)

Steady Burn Models
Are available as steady burn models for use with the Pathfinder™ Siren. The combination of exterior lights Steady Burn models and the Pathfinder Siren allow the Pathfinder to control lights around the vehicle by utilizing flash patterns in the siren, syncing/alternating light heads, and dimming light heads.
