Introduction
The ETSA2ØØR is a Compact Siren
Amplifier designed for single 100 Watt
speaker or dual 58 Watt use.
The primary operating modes are User
Selectable Tone, Yelp, Wail, Piercer,
Hi-Lo, Super Hi-Lo, Radio, PA, Horn
Override, and a Manual Override are
available in all modes.
Sirens provide an essential function
of an effective audio / visual warning
system. However, sirens are only short
range secondary devices. The use of
a siren does not insure that all drivers
can or will abide by or react to an
emergency warning signal, especially at
high rates of speeds or long distances.
The operator of the vehicle must never
take the right of way for granted and
it is the operator’s responsibility to
proceed safely.
The effectiveness of this siren system
is highly dependant on the correct
mounting and wiring. The installer must
read and follow the manufacturer’s
installation instructions and warnings in
the manual. The vehicle operator should
verify the siren system is securely
fastened to the vehicle and properly
functioning.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION WHITE/RED JUMPER WIRE
SINGLE 100 WATT SPEAKER DO NOT CUT
SINGLE 58 WATT SPEAKER Cut and Tape both ends
DUAL 58 WATT SPEAKER Cut and Tape both ends
INSTALLATION:
1. Mount Amplifier Assembly in a protected location, being careful to route wires away from
any hot surfaces or areas where the wires may get pinched.
2. Locate Green and Green/Black wires that are on opposite corners of all other input/control
wires. These are the outputs to the speaker(s)
3. Connect these 2 wires to the speaker(s) which are installed on the vehicle. The white/
red wire jumper will determine if the amplifier is to operate at an output voltage designed
to drive a single 100 Watt speaker or a single/dual 58 Watt speaker(s). See electrical
schematic on reverse side for more information.
4. Connect Black wire to reliable ground. Using wire capacity chart as a guideline to
establish wire gauge to use for extending wires.
5. Connect Orange wire to fused constant +Vdc. Using wire capacity chart as a guideline to
establish wire gauge to use for extending wires.
6. Connect Orange/Black wire to ignition switch. +Vdc is required on Orange/Black wire for
siren to operate.
7. Connect Tone 1, Tone 2, Manual Tone, Horn Tone wires to provided switch panel as
needed.
8. Program Tones following instructions found earlier in the manual under Tone Select
Programming.
9. Connect Blue wires to radio output if radio rebroadcast feature is required.
10. Connect White/Red wire to PA microphone.
11. Connect PTT / Radio Rebroadcast activation wire and to switch that will supply ground
when activated for PA function and +Vdc when activated for Radio Rebroadcast function.
A Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with center OFF position will be required for
this.
12. Program Radio Rebroadcast following the Programming instructions found earlier in the
manual under Radio Re-broadcast Volume Programming.
13. Program Radio Rebroadcast following the Programming instructions found earlier in the
manual under PA Volume Programming.
