PSR-410 O/Manual

ou may have noticed that the menus for each object you create include various settings for LED, Backlight

and Alarm. You can use these settings to design custom visual and/or audible alarms that are triggered

when activity is detected on the specified Scannable Object.

NOTE: The Alert LED utilizes a special tri-color Light Emitting Diode module that mixes light from red,

green and blue LED elements to produce thousands of different colors. Eight pre-defined color settings are

available for use in object menus. LED COLOR: 0 is normally used for “all colors off”, or no Alert LED

display.

NOTE: Slight variations to LED colors are a normal part of the manufacturing process. You may notice

these variations when using the White LED color setting (LED COLOR: 0), or when comparing one

PSR-410 to another. You can compensate for these slight variations by fine-tuning the Red/Green/Blue

(RGB) LED settings for each color. See the COLOR settings in the GLOB menu in Detailed Menu

Reference section at the end of this manual.

Audible Alarm and ALERT LED Settings

Each object you create has the following ALERT LED and Audible Alarm settings:

LED Mode: Solid or Flash controls whether the LED remains on solid or flashes when the object is active.

LED Color: 0-7 sets the color of the LED. By default, color 0 is used for LED off. You can change the LED

colors in the Global Settings menu.

Latch LED keeps the LED on after activity on the object is finished. This is useful in cases where you need

to know if an object was active while you were away from the scanner.

Backlight: Off, On, Flash controls whether the backlight remains off, comes on solid or flashes when the

object is active.

Alarm: None, Chirp, Hi-Lo, Alert, Ring, 2-Chirp, Fast Hi-Lo, DTMF # are used to set audible alarms that

play each time activity is found on the object.

ALERT LED with Audible Alarm Examples

. You have programmed a Talkgroup Wildcard in for a trunked radio system you monitor in order to find new

talkgroups. You can use an Audible Alarm to alert you when the radio receives a wildcard hit, and turn on
