Installation & Mounting
The vLink Controller may be mounted in various
locations in the vehicle. When selecting a mounting
location, also consider the wiring requirements. Be
certain that the vLink controller is securely fastened to
the vehicle in a location that will not cause a hazard or
injury to the occupants in case of accident.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied
to the device. Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime
consideration when mounting the siren and controls. Adjust the mounting angle to allow
maximum operator visibility. Do not mount the Hand-Held Controller in a location that will
obstruct the drivers view. Mount the Hand-Held Controller mounting base in a convenient
location to allow the operator easy access. Devices should be mounted only in locations
that conform to their SAE identification code as described in SAE Standard J1849. For
example, electronics designed for interior mounting should not be placed underhood, etc.
Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of the driver, or if intended for two person
operation, the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles, multiple control switches and/or
using methods such as “horn ring transfer” which utilizes the vehicle horn switch to toggle
between siren tones may be necessary for convenient operation from two positions.
*Convenient reach is defined as the ability of the operator of the siren system to manipulate
the controls from their normal driving/riding position without excessive movement away from
the seat back or loss of eye contact with the roadway.
