MCS-32 Universal Controller
CONDITION : Used & tested
The MCS-32 Universal Controller consists of a main control box which contains everything required to control a vehicle mounted hazard warning system, typically comprising rooftop lighting, secondary hazard warning lights and audio equipment. It has 32 outputs and 24 configurable inputs with power management functions some of which may be implemented via the vehicle CAN Bus system. It also features an built-in 100w siren and logic switch module to facilitate the control of a Gateway radio with voice alerts.
Operate the MCS-32 Universal Controller through one of our range of fully compatible hand held or dash mounted switch units and you have an economical hazard warning control system that does not compromise on features or functionality.
