MOUNTING – Amplifier
Select a location for the amplifier in an area such as the driver compartment firewall, under a
seat, etc. Mounting the amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area directly exposed to
weather is not recommended. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Allow
clearance for wiring and radio adjustment. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Mark
the location of the mounting holes to be drilled.
Drill 4 holes (up to 1/4" diameter) to mount the amplifier to the vehicle. Install the terminal
block plug and make all electrical connections before final mounting (See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS – Amplifier). The plug is secured with the two locking screws. Then mount
the amplifier to the vehicle using appropriate hardware (not supplied).
MOUNTING – Control Head
Select a mounting location in an area such as the dash or overhead console. Choose a
mounting location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas.
Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Allow 1¾” of depth to accommodate the control
head and cable(s). Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as microphone
bracket placement.
Use template (back page) for marking hole and cutout locations. Connect control head cable
to back of unit and route leads through cutout. Make all electrical connections (See
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Control Head), and then use #6 screws for mounting the
control head (not supplied).
MOUNTING - Microphone Extension Harness (“FX” model only)
Select a mounting location for the
microphone connector, verifying adequate
cable length. Allow 1-3/4" clearance
behind connector to prevent sharp bends in
the harness. Drill or punch a 5/8" diameter
hole for mounting. Remove mounting nut
and washer from connector. Insert the
connector into the hole and secure it using
a 3/4" socket to tighten the nut. Connect
harness to the control head as shown prior
to final installation of head.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - Amplifier
Electrical connections to the amplifier are made using a terminal block plug located on the
amplifier. A label on the unit identifies each terminal function. You should install the plug on
the unit before wiring. If the unit needs service the plug can be easily removed without
unwiring. The power supply of the unit must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50
amps for adequate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred source is
directly at the vehicle battery. The amplifier is fused near connector.
Attach leads by stripping 3/8", inserting into connector and clamp by tightening screw. Make
sure the screw is tight and the wire can't be pulled out.
Failure to adequately tighten the screw can result in improper operation or burning the
connector and wire.
Wire Size and Termination - The diagram shows the minimum wire size used for each
connection, along with recommended lead color. If the wire is longer than 10 ft. use the next
larger wire size. The power lead pairs can be extended with single #10 AWG lead wire. Use
only high quality crimp connectors for installation on the vehicle.
Optional Radio Input Connection - Connect one lead to each terminal of the radio speaker
or output connector. The input is isolated and polarity is not important. May need to set
RADIO VOLUME ADJUST on side of amplifier.
Optional Cutout Input Connection - The Cutout Input turns off any siren tone output when
activated, and remains off until a control is activated or changed. May need to set polarity.
See OPTION SWITCHES section for programming details.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – Control Head
All control head leads can be extended with #22 AWG or larger lead wire.
Black: Negative - Connect to same ground or negative supply as amplifier.
Red: Positive - May be connected to +VDC supply. It is recommended that the lead be
connected to the accessory output of the fuse block. This provides additional protection of a
fused input to the control head.
Yellow: Lights - This lead may be connected to the dash lights or to the red power lead.
Connecting to the dash lights will turn on the panel lights whenever the dash lights are on.
When connected to the red lead, make sure that the ignition switch controls the power to that
connection. This prevents the panel lights from being continuously on.
White: Control - Connect white leads from amplifier and control head. Route this lead away
from the transmitter antenna lead to prevent R.F. interference being fed to the siren amplifier.
Green: Auxiliary Input - Used for Siren control. Performs same function as Siren button.
Connect to a normally open switch or to horn ring circuit. Circuit may connect to either positive
or negative. When connected to horn ring circuit, use a SPDT switch to connect horn ring to
either vehicle horn or to manual control circuit.
NOTE: Permanent disconnection of the vehicle horn is NOT recommended.
NOTE: Be sure to cut lead short if not used and insulate with electrical tape.

OPERATION
Sound Hazard - Sound level from siren speaker (>120dBA @ 10 feet) may cause hearing damage.
Do not operate siren without adequate hearing protection for you and anyone in immediate vicinity.
(Ref. OSHA 1910.95 for occupational noise exposure guidelines)
GENERAL
This unit is designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high-speed pursuit.
Most siren functions are accessible with one simple motion without repetitive activation of
switches or automatic timed switching that can interfere with desired operation.
SELECTOR SWITCH
The 6-position rotary selector switch controls the primary
operating mode of the siren.
Radio - Also known as Radio Repeat, this function amplifies
a radio speaker input for re-broadcast outside the vehicle.
The radio must be connected and RADIO VOLUME
ADJUSTed for this mode to function.
Horn - A standby (silent) mode that may be overridden
anytime with the Siren push-button to produce a simulated
Air-horn tone. Horn tone may be disabled.
See OPTION SWITCHES section.
Manual – The siren tone rise and fall is manually controlled
with Siren push-button.
Wail - A slower changing tone used on highways.
Yelp - A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas.
Phaser - A very rapidly changing tone used at intersections or in highly congested areas. May
be disabled or optionally replaced with Two-Tone which is two alternating frequencies like a
European HI-LO. See OPTION SWITCHES section.
SIREN SWITCH
This momentary push-button switch provides Manual tone control and
various tone overrides depending on the Selector switch setting. It can
optionally control Horn Ring Cycler 2 operation in the Horn position if the
HRC2 option is selected. See OPTION SWITCHES section.

MICROPHONE (PA Override)
The noise-canceling microphone is used for public address operation and overrides any
function when the push-to-talk button on the side of the microphone is pressed.
PA VOL
This control adjusts the PA volume. With the vehicle parked, set the PA
volume to the maximum level with no feedback (squeal).
AUXILIARY INPUT
During installation an auxiliary input may be connected to the horn ring or other switching
device. It provides the same operation as pressing the Siren push-button.
HORN RING CYCLER 2 (HRC2)
During installation, the auxiliary input must be connected and the HRC2 option selected. While
the siren is in standby, tap the horn ring to bring the unit out of standby into Wail tone.
Repeatedly tapping the horn ring will cycle through Wail, Yelp, and Phaser tones. Tapping the
horn ring twice quickly will stop the siren tones and return the unit to standby. Pressing and
holding the horn ring will produce Horn tone until released. Then the siren will return to its
previous siren tone or standby. See OPTION SWITCHES section for further details.
NOTE: Earlier units with S/N lower than 04190000 have a different version of HRC. In this
case the siren tones cycle through Standby, Wail, Yelp, and Phaser. The tone is stopped by
cycling to Standby.
RADIO VOLUME ADJUST
The radio repeat volume level is set using an adjustment on the side
of the amplifier. Set the Selector Switch to the Radio position and
turn on the power. With the radio volume itself set to a normal level,
set the siren radio volume adjust control to the desired level.
CUTOUT INPUT
During installation, a cutout input may be connected to a door switch. It turns off any siren tone
when the door is opened. The siren tone will continue to be cut off even when the door is
closed. Changing any switch or input will restore normal function.

SERVICE
This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst conditions.
Many times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the true problem is in the
speaker(s) or improper installation. The following chart shows typical symptoms and possible
causes.
A blown amplifier fuse doesn't necessarily mean that the unit is bad. If a speaker or speaker
lead is shorted this fuse will blow before the unit is damaged. Disconnect the SPKR leads and
replace the fuse. If the siren emits a sound when in the Yelp position it is OK. Check the
speaker(s) or leads for possible shorting.
