Human Machine Interface

The MCS-NX control units are fully compatible with the existing range of MCS handsets and switch units for the operation of rooftop lighting, secondary lighting and power management.
In addition it has been developed to work with the vehicle OEM touch screen to provide and economical control system that will not compromise on features and functions.

200W Siren Options

Unlike the original range of MCS control units, the NX16, NX32 and NX64 are available with 200W siren output.
2 channels, each having 2 selectable outputs allows the unit to produce two different siren tones at the same time giving a ‘two vehicle’ effect via 2 x 100 Watt speakers, or, scrolled siren sounds via 1 x 200 Watt speaker, plus, either ‘simultaneously or separately’ a low frequency rumble sound via 1 or 2 x low frequency 100w rumble speakers.

Software Configuration

Improving the intuitiveness of the configuration software was key to the development of the NX range. Incorporating new features and functions in a logical order has greatly enhanced the user experience making the software easier to navigate and understand.
