*This is a Special Order item.
Pathfinder® is a compact, programmable siren and light controller now available with a handheld 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.
The new handheld features fourteen dual color backlit push-buttons, and the ergonomic design provides convenient volume control and push to talk button on the sides of the controller. For convenient visual reference, the Pathfinder handheld emulates the selected pattern of the SignalMaster operation at the top of the controller. The Pathfinder handheld control head has a magnetic mount and includes brackets for fixed or swivel mounting. The microphone is integrated in 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, (¼” jack microphone and remote extension kit sold separately).

MORE INFORMATION
Pathfinder is a compact, programmable siren and light controller with self-contained controls. 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
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 ¼” jack microphone plug option. (¼” jack 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.
MicroPulse Steady Burn Models
Popular MicroPulse® models are available as steady burn models for use with the Pathfinder™ Siren. The combination of MicroPulse 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.
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, 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 kit (includes two woofers) = Rumbler and dual tone siren (one channel will Rumble)
