Abstract

A wireless system for an emergency vehicle includes at least one siren module, at least one light module, and a remote control in communication with the at least one siren module and the at least one light module. Each of the at least one siren module, at least one light module and remote control are programmable for facilitating selective communication.

Claims

1. A wireless system for an emergency vehicle, comprising:

at least one siren module;

at least one light module; and

a remote control in communication with the at least one siren module and the at least one light module;

wherein each of the at least one siren module, at least one light module and remote control are programmable for facilitating selective communication.

2. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein at least 4 light modules are included.

3. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one siren module includes an integral mounting bracket.

4. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one light module includes a mounting bracket.

5. The wireless system according to claim 4, wherein multiple mounting brackets are included, and the mounting brackets include an L-shaped mounting bracket, spring hinge mounting bracket and a hinged mounting bracket.

6. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one light module includes an ALL OFF command turning off the complete system.

7. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one siren module includes an infrared configuration port.

8. The wireless system according to claim 7, wherein the at least one siren module includes a unique identification number in memory.

9. The wireless system according to claim 8, wherein the at least one siren module includes a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory.

10. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one light module includes an infrared configuration port.

11. The wireless system according to claim 10, wherein the at least one light module includes a unique identification number in memory.

12. The wireless system according to claim 10, wherein the at least one light module includes a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory.

13. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the remote control includes a lights ON/pattern select button, a lights OFF/temporary configuration button, a siren ON/tone select button, a siren OFF/permanent configuration button, and a horn blast button.

14. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the remote control includes an infrared configuration port.

15. The wireless system according to claim 14, wherein each remote control is associated with a unique unit identification number and each of the at least one siren module and at least one light module store a unique identification number in memory.

16. The wireless system according to claim 15, wherein the remote control issues data packets with the associated unique unit identification number allowing for control of light and siren modules associated with the same unique unit identification number.

17. The wireless system according to claim 15, wherein the remote control issues the data packets using RF communications.

18. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein the remote control, at least one siren module and at least one light module communicate via IrDA.

19. The wireless system according to claim 1, wherein each remote control is associated with a unique unit identification number and each of the at least one siren module and at least one light module store a unique identification number in memory, the remote control including an infrared configuration port for communication with communication ports of respective at least one siren module and at least one light module for changing the unique unit identification number stored within the memory of the at least one siren module and at least one light module.
