LCS790
Overview
The LCS790 Siren Amplifier is a premium 200W unit designed for single or
dual 100W speaker use and full lighting control.
The primary operating modes are Phaser, Yelp, Wail, Hands Free, Manual,
Alert, and Radio. A Noise Canceling PA Override and push-button Horn
Override are available in all modes. A manual push-button is provided for
push-on/push-off tone toggle operation in the Phaser, Yelp, and Wail modes.
It also allows manual siren control in the Manual or PA modes. The Phaser
function can be optionally replaced by Two-Tone or disabled entirely with
programming. Another feature allows cycling through Wail, Yelp, Phaser,
and Standby by providing a signal to the horn ring auxiliary wire when the
function switch is in the Hands Free (HF) position. A Park Kill option is
provided for connection to a door switch, etc. to disable the siren when
exiting the vehicle. Radio and PA volume controls are provided on the front
panel. Also located on the front panel are two LED's for speaker diagnostics.
This unit additionally contains several distinct controls for operation of
vehicle devices. A slide switch allows quick pursuit mode operation. The far
right slide position can be set up to activate maximum lights and siren for
pursuit mode. There are seven push buttons to control up to seven different
lighting or auxiliary functions, or four functions and a traffic director.
The front panel is backlighted with LED's for night visibility. This compact
unit utilizes short circuit, high voltage, low voltage, and reverse polarity
protection systems for maximum service life.

UPSIDE DOWN VIEW
There are two sets of DIP switches located inside the unit. One set has six
switches that move up or down. The default position for all of these switches
is “down” (closer to the circuit board). The other set contains two DIP
switches that slide in or out. The default position for these two switches is
“out” (towards you).
Please review the diagram above to determine which switch controls what
function. A chart summarizing these functions is located on the following
page. Specific detail about each function can be found on pages 7-9.

BUZ Beep Settings
By default, every time a button is pressed on the
keypad, the unit beeps. Flip the DIP switch up to
deactivate this feature.
Please ote: The optional 10-second beep
function will not work if this switch is in the UP
position (see page 15 of the Detailed
Programmi g section for further details).
GUN un Lock
This unit is shipped with all of
the Push Buttons (S1-S7) set
to be used as standard
On/Off buttons (pressing
each button once turns it ON,
pressing it a second time
turns it OFF). For some
applications it may be desirable to have one or more “Gun Lock”
buttons. A “Gun Lock” button will stay activated for only 10 seconds
when pressed. To activate Gun Lock Mode, flip switch two up. By
default, the fourth push button (S4) will become a Gun Lock button.
(See page 14 for detailed instructions on how to change the un
Lock button to a different button, to program additional buttons to act
as un Lock buttons, or to change the un Lock Timer to 20 sec.)
TDM Traffic Director Mode
This unit is shipped with buttons S5, S6, and S7 designated for use
with an approved traffic director (arrowstick). If any one of these
buttons is activated, pressing either of the other buttons will
deactivate the active one. In addition, pressing any of these buttons
will also activate the traffic director display LEDs on the front of
the unit. These LEDs will display
the pattern that corresponds to the
buttons pressed (i.e. Warn, Left,
Right, or Center Out). If you do
not have a traffic director, or your
traffic director uses a separate
controller, and you will be using these buttons as standard On/Off
buttons for other functions, flip DIP switch three up. This deactivates
the display LEDs. In addition, it will also allow you to turn them all
on at once (In TDM mode only one at a time can be active).

“pursuit mode”. By default, when
the slide switch is in position 

 ,
the lights connected to it will
activate, the siren will activate in
Wail mode, and your compatible
traffic director (if connected to this
unit) will activate in the Warn
mode. If you prefer to NOT have the siren and traffic director
automatically activated when the slide switch is moved to position
three, flip DIP switch 4 up. (See pages 20-22 of the Detailed
Programmi g section to program the traffic director and siren
individually).
AUX Auxiliary Input Function
The auxiliary input (terminal 5 of the 10-terminal connector, see
page 38) allows you to either activate the Air Horn, or to "mimic" the
Manual button function, through some other external switch, such
as the vehicle horn switch. The wiring diagram on page 9 shows
two connection examples. NOTE: Perma e t disco ectio of
the vehicle hor is NOT recomme ded. By default, applying
+12VDC to the Auxiliary terminal will activate the Air Horn on the
siren. If you instead prefer to have the AUX wire activate your
Manual function, flip DIP switch 5 up.
PGM Programming Mode
Flipping switch 6 up will place the siren into “Programming Mode”.
This mode will allow you to program additional options. Please see
the Detailed Programmi g section on page 9.

De ailed Programming
IN/OUT DIP Swi ch Se ings
There are an additional two DIP switches
located to the right of the bank of six.
These switches move in and out, rather
than up and down (like the previous
switches). These two switches are used
to control polarity.
PK Park-Kill Polarity
The Park-Kill input (terminal 1 of the 10-terminal connector, see page
7) will turn off any siren tone output when activated (i.e. vehicle
shifted into park, door opened, etc.). The tones will remain off until a
control on the siren is activated or changed. The wiring diagram on
page 9 shows two connection examples.
The park kill input is normally activated by connecting terminal 1 of
the 10-terminal connector to positive voltage (+12VDC). To activate
by connecting it to ground (negative) instead, push this DIP switch
“in” (switch 2 in the diagram above).
AUX Auxiliary Input Polarity
The auxiliary input (terminal 5 of the 10-terminal connector and
described on the previous page) is normally activated by connecting
terminal 5 to positive voltage (+12VDC). To activate it by connecting
it to ground (negative) instead, push this DIP switch “in” (switch 1 in
the diagram above).
De ailed Programming
DIP switch 6, located on the far right of
the left bank of DIP switches (PGM in the
diagram to the right) is used for
additional programming. Flipping this
switch up will place the siren into
Programming Mode. This mode will
allow you to program several additional
options that you may wish set.
With DIP switch 6 (PGM) in the UP position, use the rotary selector knob
and slide switch to select an option for programming. Then use the
appropriate push button (S1-S7) to select the option. See the chart on the
next page for a summary of the programming options available. Detailed
programming instructions for each option can be found on pages 12- 1.

If S2 is Green: (Default setting) Manual button functions normally
(changes tone to next quicker).
If S2 is Red: Manual function will time out after 15 seconds and revert
to the original tone.
Once you have programmed your op ion(s) o he desired se ing(s),
you must flip he PGM DIP swi ch down o save he changes.
Hands Free Tone Sweep
When the rotary selector knob is first placed in HF mode, no sound will be
produced. By default, activating the Auxiliary input (see page 37 of the
Electrical Co ectio s section) will produce the WAIL tone. Activating the
Auxiliary input again will advance it to the next siren tone, where it will
remain until you deactivate or change it. Each time you activate the auxiliary
function it will cycle through the tones:
(WAIL  YELP  PHASER/TWO-TONE  OFF).
If you would like the siren to continually “sweep” through all of these tones at
10 cpm instead of just advancing to the next tone only when the Auxiliary
input is activated, change this setting.
