on the Central Node. Always place the splitter after any future daisy chain
compatible nodes in line.
Note that the splitter does not support using only one output of an output
pair; both outputs must have End Nodes connected.
Troubleshooting:
If experiencing communication issues (Problem: No Communication), check for possible causes such as Ignition Input or Connectivity issues.

- Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and the public.
- Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Exercise caution when working with live electrical connections.
- This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
- Proper placement and installation is vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that output performance of the system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
- Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an air bag. Equipment mounted or located in an air bag deployment area may reduce the effectiveness of the air bag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable mounting location ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.
- It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure daily that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles or other obstructions.
- The use of this or any other warning device does not ensure all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is the vehicle operator’s responsibility to be sure they can proceed safely before entering an intersection, drive against traffic, respond at a high rate of speed, or walk on or around traffic lanes.
- This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user is responsible for understanding and obeying all laws regarding emergency warning devices.

Overview
- The Matrix network is designed to conveniently accommodate a large number of devices connected with CAT5 cables. The Central Node, such as a Z3 Siren or SIB, will always have (2) ports available. These (2) ports can connect to any (2) end nodes, as well as any future “daisy chain” compatible nodes in line. An End Node is simply any Matrix compatible device with only (1) CAT5 connection. Examples include the Matrix-enabled light bar, SuperVisor, WingMan, Citadel, etc. Please note, for CAT5 connections the PRI-1 port must always be utilized first, before additional devices can be connected to the SEC-2 port. See Figure 1.
$Wiring Instructions
If a system requires more than (2) End Nodes, a Matrix Splitter can be used. The Matrix Splitter will allow (2) End Nodes to be connected to (1) CAT5 jack on the Central Node. Please note that the splitter must always be placed after any future “daisy chain” compatible nodes in line. See Figures 2-8. Also, please note that the splitter does not support using only one output of an output pair. If an input is used, both outputs must have End Nodes connected.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Causes(s) | Comments/Response |
|---|
No Communication
| ****
Ignition Input
| An ignition wire input is first required to bring the Central Node out of a sleep state. From that point, the Central Node controls communication with all other Matrix compatible devices. See the installation manual of the customer selected Central Node for further troubleshooting of the ignition input.
Connectivity
| Ensure that all CAT5 cables are securely connected and fully seated with positive lock in their respective ports. Remember that the PRI-1 jack at the Central Node must first be used, before the SEC-2 jack can be used. Ensure that f an input on the splitter is used, both outputs must have end nodes connected.
