Whelen PCC-S9lw vs pcc-s9rw as they look the same to me other than the connector on the back what am i missing TIA

What he said^ Except according to the install paperwork the low current model offers .5 amp outputs, and the high current is 20 amp outputs. However on the high current model, while individual outputs are rated at 20 amps, total output current cannot exceed 80 amps.LW is low current ie: 1 amp output approx. RW is high output outputs somewhere generally between 10-20amps.

You can "program" the slide switch to be "progressive" or "single function", meaning position 2 is 1+2, position 3 is 1+2+3.thank you guys for the info now to search for a rw version
I will look. I will have an answer by this evening.what labels are missing and what would you want for it shipped to zip 76036 lmk thanks
Yeah, no..... you have a PCC-S9 now, buying a PCC-S9rw is pointless.thank you i have that model number now and was told it would not work good with a legacy solo

If you have a Legacy, you will need something with WeCan. You can use any controller send inputs to a WeCan Control point, or you can get a Cencom that has Wecan built in.thank you i have that model number now and was told it would not work good with a legacy solo and i am waiting on a reply from a guy to see what the difference is to me it is the connection point i will let you know what i find out by the way would you have a legacy all amber laying around by chance?
Exactly; He can use really any switchbox to send power to a wecan module. He doesn't have to buy a special low current model of what he already has. If it were me I'd get the module and keep my controller, but if you are replacing controllers something with wecan built in makes more sense; why buy a switch box and a module? Buying a different version of what he has is really the only thing that isn't practical. I hate seeing people waste money because of bad info. There is a low cost and a delux way to do this, but what OP was sent off to buy is neither.If you have a Legacy, you will need something with WeCan.

You really can't fully in any one easy way. Once the whole setup is in one spot you will have plenty of setup and testing. There are small tests you can do with with powering it etc, but it won't 100% show function. Get everything in one place and we can troubleshoot an issues then.one other question i found a wccp control point how can i test it to see if it works since i dont have the lightbar yet? any procedures please let me know thanks
I recommend getting familiar with Whelen's "Command" software. That's where you will spend time getting the lightbar to work the way you want. IMHO I "trust" the low-current switching between the PCC-S9lw and the wccp will "just work".one other question i found a wccp control point how can i test it to see if it works since i dont have the lightbar yet? any procedures please let me know thanks
It is really cool software. I set up so many inputs and virtual events. IF, AND, OR etc are cool variables to play with. It is even more fun with a duo or trio bar.I recommend getting familiar with Whelen's "Command" software. That's where you will spend time getting the lightbar to work the way you want.

The most complicated/difficult/fun part is getting the wccp to instruct the lightbar what to do. That's all in the programming and "Command" is where you make that happen...so time is well-spent learning it.

Um, do you have a Windows PC? Hope so -- Command runs on that.
