Introduction
The SPRINTER uses an easily concealable remote hand held controller coupled to an electronic siren, all designed
to meet the needs of emergency vehicles. This siren provides a compact control head that can virtually be mounted
anywhere in the vehicle along with full 100Watt signal output providing both SAE J1849 and CA Title 13 Compliance.
The purpose of this document is to aid in the setup and installation of the SPRINTER, and to provide instructions for its
proper operation.
Sirens are an integral part of an effective audio/visual emergency warning system. However,
sirens are only short range secondary warning devices. The use of a siren does not insure
that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal, particularly at long
distances or when either vehicle is traveling at a high rate of speed. Sirens should only be used
in a combination with effective warning lights and never relied upon as a sole warning signal.
Never take the right of way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely
before entering an intersection driving against trafc, or responding at a high rate of speed.
The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing this device. The vehicle operator
should check the equipment daily to insure that all features of the device operate correctly.
To be effective, sirens must produce high sound levels that potentially can inict hearing damage.
Installers should be warned to wear hearing protection, clear bystanders from the area and not
to operate the siren indoors during testing. Vehicle operators and occupants should assess their
exposure to siren noise and determine what steps, such as consultation with professionals or
use of hearing protection should be implemented to protect their hearing.
This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility
to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check
all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for
any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.
Proper installation is vital to the performance of the siren and the safe operation of the
emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is
under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency situation. The siren
system should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the acoustical performance of
the system, B) Limit as much as practical the noise level in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle, C) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate
the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly
protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical
connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe
vehicle damage, including re.
PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER
USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

Unpacking & Pre-Installation
After unpacking the siren, carefully inspect the unit and associated parts for any damage that may have been caused
in transit. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.
Parts included in the box:
- Siren (amplier)
- Hand-Held Controller
- Microphone
- Control Head Extension Cable
- Connection Parts Bag
- Wire Harness
- Installation / Operator Manual
Installation & Mounting
The hand-held controller may be mounted in various locations in the vehicle: below the dash, on the tunnel, etc. Ease
of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls.
The amplier may be mounted at an appropriate location within the vehicle, and the extension cable must be used to
couple the hand-held controller to the amplier. Caution: Do not plug control head unit into microphone socket on
Amplier. Use of the extension cable will assure the control head is plugged in correctly.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely
fastened to vehicle elements of sufcient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device.
Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when
mounting the siren and controls. Adjust the mounting angle to allow maximum operator visibility.
Do not mount the Hand-Held Controller in a location that will obstruct the drivers view. Mount the
Hand-Held Controller mounting base in a convenient location to allow the operator easy access.
Devices should be mounted only in locations that conform to their SAE identication code as
described in SAE Standard J1849. For example, electronics designed for interior mounting
should not be placed under hood, etc. Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of
the driver or if intended for two person operation the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles,
multiple control switches and/or using methods such as “horn ring transfer” which utilizes the
vehicle horn switch to toggle between siren tones may be necessary for convenient operation
from two positions.
*Convenient reach is dened as the ability of the operator of the siren system to manipulate the
controls from their normal driving/riding position without excessive movement away from the seat
back or loss of eye contact with the roadway.
T56095 Rev. A Page 3 of 22

The SPRINTER amplier is not waterproof. It must be mounted in a location that is sheltered from rain, snow, standing
water, etc. It must also be installed in an adequately ventilated area. Do not install near heater ducts or under the vehicle’s
hood. Using the mounting holes on the amplier as a template, scribe four drill position marks at the mounting locations. Be
sure that both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts that may be damaged. The siren accessory kit with mount-
ing hardware supplied provides the user with a choice of mounting hardware. Secure the amplier to the mounting surface,
using the mounting hardware.
Connection between the hand-held controller and the SPRINTER amplier box is identied by the amplier label.
Note: The microphone and control head connectors are different and must not be plugged into the wrong socket.
Use of the extension cable will assure the control head is plugged in correctly.
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current
wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink
tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement connections (e.g. 3M) Scotch
lock type connectors. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment
walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g.
under hood) will signicantly reduce the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers.
Use “SXL” type wire in engine compartment.
All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer
and be protected from moving parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar
installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and
properly sized to protect the wiring and devices. Particular attention should be paid to the location
and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion
and loss of conductivity. Ground (Earth) terminations should only be made to substantial chassis
components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
The user should install a circuit breaker sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity
in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp circuit breaker should carry
a maximum of 24 Amps.
DO NOT USE 1/4” DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS
DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will
“false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Connections
Reference Figure 1 – Wiring Diagram
1. Disconnect the cable on the negative end of the battery before performing installation. Do not connect the system to
vehicle battery until all other electrical connections are made and mounting of all components is complete. Verify the
polarities of the cable and ensure that no short circuits exist before connecting to the battery terminals. If routing the
extension cable requires drilling a hole in sheet metal or other material, drill a 5/8″ hole in the material and install a 5/8″
grommet (not supplied) to protect the cable.
2. Attach the handheld controller to the amplier by inserting the connector on the end of the cord into the mating port on
the amplier. If the amplier is remotely mounted, use the included extension cord and extension adaptor.

3. To install the positive and negative power wires, strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of the wires, and install the blade
connectors onto the ends of the appropriate wires. The “+24V” positions may be connected either directly to a +24V
source (such as a battery), or through a switch (such as an ignition switch). (See proper fusing requirements on page
6 prior to making any wire connections to battery or ignition switch)
T56095 Rev. A Page 5 of 22

4. The unit is supplied with a twelve-position, pluggable connector (white color) for connections to the speaker and other
selected optional connections such as hood,grill, radio, horn ring and parklight . Main light bar connections are made
at the blade connections in the back of the amplier unit and are labelled with identication to coincide with the control
head.
5. Speaker – the siren is designed to operate with one 11-ohm impedance speaker (100W). Speakers are not included as
part of the siren. Any 11-ohm 100W speaker for use with emergency vehicle may be considered to use.
6. To install the light bar power wires, strip approximately 1/4″ of insulation from the end of the lights wires. Install the blade
wire connectors onto the wire ends and connect the appropriate wires to the terminals on the amplier housing to co-
incide with the light bar wire function identication. Keep in mind that terminals 8, and 10-14 have a 15 amp maximum
current each. Power wires on pins 1,2 and 3 have a max. current of 15A each.
External 20A fuse is required on each of the 3 individual +24V power wires on pins 1,2 and 3 at the battery feed.
(Pin 4 is not used)
Pin 5 max current of 15A.
Pin 7 max current 15A.
Pin 8 internally fused for 15A
(Pin 9 not used)
Pins 10 - 14 are all internally fused for 15A each. (See gure 5, page 9 for fuse location)
- left alley ( Pin 10),
- right alley ( Pin 11),
- sign light ( Pin 12),
- headlight asher ( Pin 13),
- take down lights ( Pin 14).
(Pin 15 not used)
7. If a fuse is installed, it should be sized for the actual load of the lighting used and located as close to the battery positive
as possible.
8. Ensure that there are no loose wire strands or other bare wire that may cause a short circuit. All wires must be protected
from any sharp edged that could eventually cut through the insulation. Also use an ohmmeter to verify that a short circuit
does not exist between the positive (+) leads and the vehicles chassis.
CONNECTION OF A 58 WATT SPEAKER TO THE SPKR TERMINAL WILL CAUSE THE SPEAKER
TO BURN OUT, AND WILL VOID THE SPEAKER WARRANTY!
Any electronic device my create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After installation
of any electronic device, operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of
interference.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS TO USERS OF SIRENS: “Wail” and “Yelp” tones are in some cases (such
as the state of California) the only recognized siren tones for calling for the right of way. Ancillary
tones such as “Air Horn”, “Hi-Lo”, “Hyper Yelp”, and “Hyper Lo” in some cases do not provide as high
a sound pressure level. It is recommended that these tones be used in a secondary mode to alert
motorists to the presence of multiple emergency vehicles or to the momentary shift from the primary
tone as an indication of the imminent presence of any emergency vehicle.
