DANGER! Sirens produce extremely loud emergency warning tones! Exposure to these tones without
proper and adequate hearing protection, could cause ear damage and/or hearing loss! The Occupational Safety &
Health Administration (www.osha.gov) provides information necessary to determine safe exposure times in
Occupational Noise Exposure Section 1910.95. Until you have determined the safe exposure times for your
specific application, operators and anyone else in the immediate vicinity should be required to wear an approved
hearing protection device. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS RECOMMENDATION COULD CAUSE HEARING LOSS!

Model PCCS9RW
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the installation
technician to make sure that the installation and operation
of this product will not interfere with or compromise the
operation or efficiency of any vehicle equipment! Before
returning the vehicle to active service, visually confirm the
proper operation of this product.
Mounting:
An aftermarket center console is recommended for the
mounting location of the PCCS9RW. This not only allows the
driver to reach the controls easily, but also keeps the unit safely
out of the path of the vehicle’s SRS air-bag. Follow the console
manufacturer’s instructions for mounting information. If a
console-type mount is not possible, the PCCS9RW includes a
bail strap mounting kit for over or under dash mounting.
WARNING: Regardless of the style selected, be sure to observe the
air-bag warning on the cover of this manual.
WARNING: Mounting this unit will require drilling. It is absolutely
necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components could be
damaged in the process. Check both sides of the mounting surface
before starting. If damage is likely, select a different location.
Bail Strap Mount:
1.Position the bail strap in the selected
mounting location. Using an awl or
other suitable tool, scribe the
surface where the mounting holes
are to be drilled.
2.Drill the mounting holes (using a
drill bit determined by the size of
the “customer supplied” mounting hardware
and the thickness of the mounting surface) and
secure the bail strap to the mounting location.
Console Mount:
Console manufacturers offer mounting kits that include all the necessary
hardware and brackets required to mount this unit into their console. The
console mount brackets are secured onto the unit the same way the bail
bracket is. Refer to the manual included with your console.
Function Labels: Take the supplied label kit and determine which label
describes the function of each switch. Peel the labels off the backing and
place them onto the switch buttons. Press the labels lightly into place.
Wiring:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and be FUSED
at the battery to carry
that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
Programming the PCCS9RW:
WARNING: Never try to program the PCC9RW while it is wired to the
vehicle. The unit must be removed from the vehicle before
programming. For programming, connect positive (+) 12 volts and
ground to J3 only.
The PCCS9RW switches include a slide switch and 6 momentary
switches. The slide switch has one off position and three active positions,
combined with the 6 momentary switches, makes a total of 9 switches.
For each of the 9 switches there are 9 corresponding relay outputs in the
back of the unit. The PCCS9RW has the capability of customizing how the
switches operate, and how they control the relay outputs as well as the
siren enable output.
Any of the 6 momentary switches can be configured to operate in one of
four switch types: push on push off, momentary, flashing, or timedoutput.
Any of the 9 switches can be configured to activate any combination of
relay outputs.
Any of the 9 switches can be configured to remotely activate any of the 6
momentary switches.
Any of the 9 switches can be configured to activate the siren enable
output.
One units configuration can be copied to another unit. The following
sections describe how to reconfigure the PCCS9RW.

copied to another unit that is set up as a “secondary” unit.
To copy a configuration to a second unit:
1. Wire the units as follows.
• Connect J3 on both units to a common power source (PIN1 to V BAT &
PIN 4 to Ground).
• Connect pin 2 of J3 on the “primary” unit to PIN 3 of J3 on the
“secondary” unit.
• Leave all other wiring unconnected.

(8)Terminal Operation
8.1 Terminal Specifications
This PCCS9RW contains 11 outlets (Faston connectors) located on the rear panel.
They are designed to activate components that do not exceed specific current draw.
NOTE: It is important that any components connected to these terminals
do not exceed the maximum current rating for that terminal.
Warning! Total power distribution current is not to exceed 80 AMPS.
Outlet #J13 does not function as an output terminal and is not used in the
default configuration. By changing the position of fuse #9 this terminal can
be configured to control an auxiliary circuit. This auxiliary circuit can not
exceed 20 amps.
Moving Fuse #9 from its default position (F9) to its optional position (F9A)
allows push-button 6 to control an auxiliary circuit. Connect Power In from
the AUX circuit to Outlet J13 and Load Out to Outlet J14 or J15. Push-but-
ton 6 will now open and close this circuit.
5. Store and activate the configuration.
• Press and release the Scan-Lock™ switch on both the “primary and
secondary” units.
All of the indicator lights will turn off and the data will be stored. This
will put both units back into normal operating mode.
OR...
• Turn the power off on both the “primary and secondary” units.
To transfer the configuration to another unit start back at step 1.
PC Board Power Fuse:
Remove the 4 screws holding
the cover on, remove the
cover and replace the
fuse. The internal fuse
should be replaced with
a 5 AMP fuse.
