Emergency LED Light Wiring for APX Button Activation

[icervantes]

Hi,
Does anyone have experience wiring an emergency LED light that activates when the emergency button on a mobile APX 8500 is pressed?

Thanks.

No. I think most folks rely on the flashing orange screen.

Might have to have some sort of external light controller, such as blueprint or core, using vip output. I'm not a lights and sirens guy, but it should be easy to figure out.

I set the VIP to Emergency but can't get enough voltage to power up an LED. Our command vehicles are set up so that when there is channel activity, the LED indicator lights up, and when someone hits the emergency button, it lights up. The vendor\technicians who customize the vehicle are gatekeeping the setup, it's a little frustrating trying to figure it out.

Thanks for the response!

The VIPs do not output power. You have to connect the LED to a power point and the VIP will provide switched ground to activate it.
