Safety Messages
It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device
is to be installed by trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the
country electric codes and will follow these guidelines as well as local codes.
Listed below are important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
Important Notice
Federal Signal reserves the right to make changes to devices and specications detailed in
the manual at any time in order to improve reliability, function or design. The information
in this manual has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no
responsibility is assumed for any inaccuracies.
Publications
Federal Signal recommends the following publications from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for assistance with planning an outdoor warning system:
• The “Outdoor Warning Guide” (CPG 1-17)
• “Civil Preparedness, Principles of Warning” (CPG 1-14)
• FEMA-REP-1, Appendix 3 (Nuclear Plant Guideline)
• FEMA-REP-10 (Nuclear Plant Guideline).
Planning
• If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the siren
is not selected properly or the siren is not installed properly, it may not produce
the intended optimum audible warning. Follow Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) recommendations.
• If sirens are not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition
exists, they cannot provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that
knowledgeable people, who are provided with the necessary information, are
available at all times to authorize the activation of the sirens.
• When sirens are used out of doors, people indoors may not be able to hear the
warning signals. Separate warning devices or procedures may be needed to
effectively warn people indoors.
• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To
prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and
restrict access to areas near sirens.
• Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to
be warned are not properly trained about the meaning of siren sounds. Siren users
should follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct
actions to be taken.

Safety Messages
Description and Specications Manual
• After installation, service, or maintenance, test the siren system to conrm
that it is operating properly. Test the system regularly to conrm that it will be
operational in an emergency.
• If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer
to, the siren system may not provide the intended audible warning and service
personnel may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily
injury. File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a
copy of these instructions to new recruits and trainees. Also give a copy to anyone
who is going to service or repair the siren.
Installation and Service
• Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when performing various
installation and service functions such as making electrical connections, drilling
holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore only experienced electricians should install
this product in accordance with national, state and any other electrical codes
having jurisdiction. Perform all work under the direction of the installation or
service crew safety foreman.
• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage.
To prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings
and restrict access to areas near the sirens. Sirens may be operated from remote
control points. Whenever possible, disconnect all siren power including batteries
before working near the siren.
• After installation or service, test the siren system to conrm that it is operating
properly. Test the system regularly to conrm that it will be operational in an
emergency.
• If future service personnel do not have these warnings and all other instructions
shipped with the equipment to refer to, the siren system may not provide the
intended audible warning and service personnel may be exposed to death,
permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injury. File these instructions in a safe
place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to new
recruits and trainees. Also, give a copy to anyone who is going to service or repair
the sirens.
Operation
Failure to understand the capabilities and limitations of your siren system could result in
permanent hearing loss, other serious injuries or death to persons too close to the sirens
when you activate them or to those you need to warn. Carefully read and thoroughly
understand all safety notices in this manual and all operations-related items in all
instruction manuals shipped with equipment. Thoroughly discuss all contingency plans
with those responsible for warning people in your community, company, or jurisdiction.
Read and understand the information contained in this manual before
attempting to install or service the siren.
Pay careful attention to the notice located on the equipment.

General Description
2001TRBP, 2001TRBP-480, and 2001TRBP Kit Transformer Rectier
General Description
Overview
The 2001TRBP is a high-power transformer rectier for powering outdoor warning
sirens. The 2001TRBP consists of an aluminum encased transformer with mounting
bracket. The 2001TRBP can be used as the only source of power for mechanical sirens
(AC operation). The 2001TRBP transformer operates from 208, 220, or 240 Vac, while
the 2001TRBP-480 operates from 416, 440, or 480 Vac. The transformer output is
46 Vdc at 130 A and 115 Vac at 10 A. The 46 Vdc is to power the mechanical siren and
the 115 Vac is used to power the siren control board, heaters, and chargers, if battery
equipped.
The 2001TRBP and 2001TRBP-480 includes a transfer relay contactor kit, which allows
primary operation from AC and battery backup when AC fails. The transfer relay kit
includes 48 Vdc contactor, buss bars, snubber and screws for attaching contactor to back
plate inside Federal Signal Control Cabinet.

Installation
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical
connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced
electricians in accordance with national and local electrical codes, acting
under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform
installation.
For electrical connections to controllers, see product manuals (that is, DCFCTBD).

Installation
Description and Specications Manual
Locating the Transformer
Mount the transformer assembly as close as possible to the control unit to keep cabling
distances as short as possible.
See Figure 1 and Table 4 for size and weight of the 2001TRBP transformer. Mount the
2001TRBP to a structure that can support the transformer.
Electrical Connections
Install the siren electrical system in compliance with local electrical codes
and NEC recommendations. Federal Signal also recommends that all user-
installed conduit connections enter from the bottom of the cabinet. Disconnect
all power and read all warnings at the beginning of this manual and before
making connections.

Troubleshooting
Description and Specications Manual
Troubleshooting
NOTE: It is normal for the 46 Vdc output of the transformer to have 20-30 Vrms of AC
ripple without load. With load the AC ripple signicantly decreases.
If the 46 Vdc output of the transformer is about half of 46 Vdc, typical cause is a
defective Diode Rectier or Transformer. Lightning or a power surge may have damaged
the Diode Rectier or Transformer.
1. Turn off AC power to the transformer. Verify AC power has been turned off.
2. Disconnect wires X1 and X3 from the Diode Rectier and carefully protect the
wires from shorting.
3. Connect voltmeter to X1 and X3. Turn on AC power and measure X1 and X3.
Should measure about 100 Vac.
4. Turn off AC power to the transformer. Verify AC power has been turned off.
5. Connect voltmeter to X1 and X2. Turn on AC power and measure X1 and X2.
Should measure about 50 Vac.
6. Turn off AC power to the transformer. Verify AC power has been turned off.
7. Connect voltmeter to X3 and X2. Turn on AC power and measure X3 and X2.
Should measure about 50 Vac.
If the voltages above are incorrect, the entire transformer part number Q120246F-AL,
will need to be replaced.
If the voltages above are correct, the Diode Rectier part number Q115336A, will need to
be replaced.
