DANGER! Sirens produce extremely loud emergency warning tones! Exposure to these tones without proper and adequate hearing protection, could
cause ear damage and/or hearing loss! The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (www.osha.gov) provides information necessary to determine
safe exposure times in Occupational Noise Exposure Section 1910.95. Until you have determined the safe exposure times for your specific application,
operators and anyone else in the immediate vicinity should be required to wear an approved hearing protection device. Failure to follow this
recommendation could cause hearing loss!
• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics, systems and procedures.
• Whelen Engineering requires the use of waterproof butt splices and/or connectors if that connector could be exposed to moisture.
• Any holes, either created or utilized by this product, should be made both air- and watertight using a sealant recommended by your vehicle
manufacturer.
• Failure to use specified installation parts and/or hardware will void the product warranty.
• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged
by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr the holes and remove any metal shards
or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes.
• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro®, clean the mounting surface with a 50/50
mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.
• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment
area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to
your vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting
location, based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
• For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be made. The recommended
procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-)
battery post (this does not include products that use cigar power cords).
• If this product uses a remote device for activation or control, make sure that this device is
located in an area that allows both the vehicle and the device to be operated safely in any

Warnings to Installers
Whelen’s emergency vehicle warning devices must be properly mounted and wired in order to be effective and safe. Read and follow all of Whelen’s written
instructions when installing or using this device. Emergency vehicles are often operated under high speed stressful conditions which must be accounted for
when installing all emergency warning devices. Controls should be placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without
taking their eyes off the roadway. Emergency warning devices can 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 vehicle
damage, including fire. Many electronic devices used in emergency vehicles can create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. Therefore, after
installation of any electronic device it is necessary to test all electronic equipment simultaneously to insure that they operate free of interference from other
components within the vehicle. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio
communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of
sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This
device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specified by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment
area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its
mounting hardware and electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a
method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving; sudden braking or collision. Failure to follow
instructions can result in personal injury. Whelen assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. 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.
Warnings to Users
Whelen’s emergency vehicle warning devices are intended to alert other operators and pedestrians to the presence and operation of emergency vehicles and
personnel. However, the use of this or any other Whelen emergency warning device does not guarantee that you will have the right-of-way or that other
drivers and pedestrians will properly heed an emergency warning signal. Never assume you have the right-of-way. It is your responsibility to proceed safely
before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around traffic lanes. Emergency vehicle warning
devices should be tested on a daily basis to ensure that they operate properly. When in actual use, the operator must ensure that both visual and audible
warnings are not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. It is the user’s responsibility
to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should be familiar with all applicable laws and regulations prior to the use of
any emergency vehicle warning device. Whelen’s audible warning devices are designed to project sound in a forward direction away from the vehicle
occupants. However, because sustained periodic exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing loss, all audible warning devices should be installed and
operated in accordance with the standards established by the National Fire Protection Association.
Safety First
This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed. Before beginning the installation and/or
operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could
prevent serious injury or damage.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Mounting:
1. Locate a suitable mounting
location. The vertical wall between
the trunk and the passenger
compartment (described in this
manual) is often a good choice.
2. Be sure that the remote amplifier
fits properly and does not interfere
with any parts of the trunk lid or
seat back.
3. Position the amplifier onto the
mounting location. Using an awl
or other suitable tool, scribe the
mounting surface where the
mounting holes are to be drilled.
4. Carefully drill the mounting holes
using a #16 drill bit.
5. Using the supplied #10 x 3/4” sheet metal screws, secure the amplifier
to the vertical trunk wall (Fig. 1).
Wiring / Power:
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive
terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the
maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that load.
DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

HF cycle: tones are activated by a single tap on the HORN RING switch. The
first tap produces a WAIL tone (a steady rise and fall tone). A second tap
produces a YELP tone (a fast rise and fall tone). A third tap produces a
tone. The next tap returns the siren to a wail tone and the cycle
repeats itself. Two successive taps will stop the siren.
Piercer™
The word 'instant' implies that activating CNTRL2 will generate the HF cycle on
it's own , and that activating CNTRL3 will generate the Manual tone on it's own.
CNTRL 2 & 3 should be momentary switches for this application.
The AIRHORN switch produces as a main tone as well as an
override tone .

HF 2 cycle: Tones are activated by a single tap on the horn ring or cycle switch.
The first tap produces a WAIL tone (a steady rise and fall tone). A second tap
produces a YELP tone (a fast rise and fall tone). The next tap returns the siren
to a WAIL tone or after 10 seconds the siren automatically returns to a WAIL
tone and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick successive taps will stop the siren.
NOTE: Tone Completion Mode is not available in TONE 6.
Operation:
Siren in use: This output will become active (+VBAT) whenever a tone is
being produced by the siren.
Modes: There are 8 modes of operation. Mode 6 is the factory default
mode. See “Mode Programming” to change the mode of operation.
BETATM1 Controls: Mode 6
Power Switch
This switch has two
positions: Down (Beta -
Off) and Up (Beta - On).
When this switch is in
the Off position, the Beta
will not function. When
the switch is in the On
position the siren is functional and may be activated. NOTE: If the Beta is
connected to the vehicle’s horn ring circuit, the vehicle horn is dis-
abled when the BETATM power switch is in the ON position. The horn
ring will now function as a manual siren switch.
Volume Adjustment Screw
The volume adjustment screw controls the volume of the public address
and radio functions and has no effect on siren tones. Volume is increased
by rotating the screw clockwise and decreased by rotating it counter-
clockwise. (See Figs. 1 & 2 for volume control location)
Programming the Siren:
WARNING: Never try to program the siren while it is wired to the ve-
hicle. A low level audio device is built into the siren so siren tones can
be heard during programming.
