Effective sirens generate loud sound
pressure levels that can potentially cause
hearing damage. Installers and those around
the vehicle need to be aware of the dangers
and wear hearing protection whenever the
siren system is operating. Vehicle operators
and occupants should assess their exposure
to siren noise and determine what steps
need to be taken to prevent hearing damage.
The siren system is intended for use by
authorized personnel only. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure they understand and
operate the emergency warning devices in
compliance with all applicable city, state,
and federal laws and regulations. SoundOff
Signal assumes no liability for any loss
resulting from the use of the siren system.

Important Information:
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INSTALLER:
Make sure to read and understand all
instructions and warnings before proceeding
with the installation of this product. Ensure

Introduction
The ETSA380R is Remote Mounted Siren
Amplifier designed for dual 100 Watt
speaker use. The siren comes standard with
a noise-cancelling microphone for PA use.
The amplifier box contains a dual amplifier
capable of supplying sound to dual 100 Watt
speakers. The ETSA380R also includes a 3
position slide switch and 8 independently
controlled accessory switches each capable
of supplying 10-20 amps.
The primary operating modes are User
Selectable tone, Yelp, Wail, Radio, PA,
Horn Override, and a push-button Manual
Override are available in all modes. All
tones except Wail and Yelp for California
Title 13 compliance may be disabled by
programming the siren.
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.
!
WARNING
Sirens produce loud sounds that
may damage hearing:
- Roll up windows.
- Wear hearing protection.
- Use only for emergency response.
- Avoid exposure to siren sound
outside of vehicle.
