PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

To program the Feniex 4200 Controller, first visit feniex.com to download the software.
Help
For assistance on how to use the software, please click the help button located on the top bar in the software interface. You will find informative videos on how to program every function of the 4200 software system.

1. Connect the provided USB wire to the controller, and connect the other end of the USB port to the computer.

2. When the controller is plugged in, the red box reading “Device Disconnected” will change from Red to Green will read: “Device connected.”
   Ports 1-20 can be activated by:

• Button
• Input
• Slide Switch (p1, p2, p3)

3) Activate Ports
Select button, input or slide switch and then check the box of the desired port. You can select as many ports as needed with each button programmed. Each output is capable
of 10 amps. For any product requiring more than 10 amps, use multiple ports to split the load. For example: For a spotlight that requires 15 amps, select the desired button on the controller then use 2 ports to split the load. Don’t exceed 30 amps per fuse quadrant.

4) Activate Button
This function programs the slide switch (p1, p2, p3) or inputs A-E to activate a button. Please note a button cannot activate another button. Multiple buttons can be activated through the slide switch or input setup.

5) Deactivate Button
This function allows any input, slide switch, or button to turn off an activated button. For example. Arrow function: Left arrow button #6, right arrow button #8, center out
button #7. When activating button #6, deactivate buttons #7 and #8.

6) Lightbar
This function works when you have a full-size lightbar connected. To activate a function of the lightbar, select the desired switch (input, slide switch, button) then select the lightbar function. Multiple functions can be selected on 1 switch.

7) Timer
The timer function allows any button to continue functioning for a set period of time after it’s been disabled. The timer can be set for any duration between 1 second to 1 hour. This applies to all inputs A-H and all buttons. The slide switch cannot be  programmed for timer or momentary functions.
The momentary function only applies to buttons and allows a button to activate only when the user holds the button down. It will not remain active once pressure is released.
Ignition/Day/Night: These buttons in the software can only be used for their respective functions. Please refer to the wiring diagram on pages 8 & 9 for wiring examples.

8) Siren
This function only works when you have a 100W or 200W Storm siren connected. Select the desired switch (input, slide, or button), then select the tone from the drop-down
menu. If using a 100W siren, only select speaker 1. For 200W sirens, make sure to highlight speaker 1 and speaker 2.

9) Audio (under Siren section)
This function only works when you have a 100W or 200W Storm siren connected. This function allows any input, slide switch or button to activate a desired audio tone. Select the desired switch (input, slide switch, or a button) then select the audio tone from the drop-down menu. If a 200W Storm siren is installed, the audio tones will always play on both speakers. For example, Tone 1 programmed on speaker 1 will play through both speakers #1 and #2 on a 200W siren.

10) Dual Delay
This function works when a 200W Storm siren is connected to the 4200. Dual delay is a check box at the bottom of the siren section. When using a 200W siren and having one switch activating the same in tone, the dual delay will offset the 2 tones so that they alternate. Note: this is only needed when using the same tone and wanting the dual-tone
functionality.

11) WigWag
This function works when output 1 and output 2 are connected to two separate halogen or LED lights. To enable, select the desired switch  (input, slide switch, or a button) and select the speed from the drop-down menu.

Program the appropriate input (HighBeam signal) to override the flashing wig- wag function with a stead-on signal.

12) Lightbar
This function works when you have a full-size lightbar connected. To activate a function of the lightbar, select the desired switch (input, slide switch, button) then select the lightbar function. Multiple functions can be selected on 1 switch.
