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.

Installation 295SHA1 Module:
1. Locate a suitable mounting location such as a dry, cool compartment
and position the unit where it will be mounted. Make
sure that the mounting area allows sufficient
ventilation. Using an awl or similar tool, scribe
the mounting surface where the
mounting holes are to be drilled.
2. Remove the unit and use a 9/64
drill bit to drill a hole in each of
the areas scribed in step 2.
3. Return the unit to its mounting
location and use the provided #10 x 3/4”
sheet metal screws and #10 internal tooth lock
washers to secure the unit to the mounting
surface. IMPORTANT: The case must be either
mounted on, or grounded to the vehicle chassis.
Control Head:
There are two control head mounting brackets to choose from. One allows
the control head to be mounted into your vehicle’s console (if so
equipped). The other allows the control head to be mounted directly onto
the dash or other surface through the use of a bail strap mounting bracket.
Regardless of the style selected, be sure to observe the air bag
warning on the cover of this manual.
Bail Strap Mount:
1. Position the bail strap in the selected
mounting location. Using
an awl or other suitable
tool, scribe the surface
where the mounting
holes are to be drilled.
2. Drill the mounting holes
in the areas scribed in
step 1. The size of the
drill bit should be determined by
the size of the mounting hardware
(#10 sheet metal screw) and thickness of
the mounting surface.
3. Using hardware provided (#10 x 3/
4” sheet metal screw and #10
internal tooth lock washer) secure
bail strap to mounting location.
NOTE: There are 3 sets of holes on
the bail strap for positioning the
control head at 3 different heights.
4. With the bail strap in place, insert the #10 x 3/8”
hex head bolt into the assembly hole from the inner
side of the bail strap as shown.
5. Place the #10 internal-tooth lock washer and the acorn nut on the
protruding bolt on the outer side of the bail strap. Loosely secure the
acorn nut to the hex head bolt.
Slide the control head onto the bolt heads. Once it is in position and the
control head has fully engaged the bolt heads, tighten the acorn nuts until
the unit is firmly secured.
A third pair of mounting holes are provided which allows the control head
to be located much closer to the bail strap. If this closer location is used,
the tips of the bail bracket may be broken off at
the notches.
Control Head Cable:
Route the control head cable from the amp/
relay module to the designated mounting
location. Plug the cable securely into the rear of
the control head. Be sure to route the cable
through either of the two recessed pathways (shown
here). This will prevent the cable from being disconnected or
pinched by the control head.
Havis Console Mount:
The Havis Console mounting kit includes all the necessary hardware
needed to secure the control head to the mounting bracket for installation
on a Havis Console. The control head mounts onto the console mount
bracket the same way the control head mounts onto the bail bracket as
outlined previously except for the addition of a flat washer that must be
inserted between the control head and the bracket. Please refer to the
manual included with your console for specific information on securing the
control head/mounting bracket assembly onto the console.
IMPORTANT! READ THESE WARNINGS BEFORE CONTINUING!
The Howler™ portion of this siren is a supplemental siren and was designed for use in high-risk areas such as an intersection. It is not intended to be,
nor should be operated as, a replacement or alternative to the vehicle’s primary siren.
The low-frequency tones of the Howler demonstrate significantly different audio characteristics as compared to those of a traditional higher-frequency
siren. While the low-frequency tones are better able to penetrate other vehicles, thus alerting drivers to the presence of the responding emergency
vehicle, these tones may also penetrate into the responding vehicle itself. This could potentially expose the operator to increased noise levels.
To help eliminate overexposure, the Howler siren has been designed with a built-in timing circuit. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA) (www.osha.gov) provides information necessary to determine safe exposure times in Noise and Hearing Conservation, Section 1910.95
(Occupational Noise Exposure). Until you have determined the safe exposure times for your specific application, this siren should be configured for the
minimum operating time and operators should be required to use an approved hearing protection device. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
RECOMMENDATION COULD CAUSE HEARING LOSS!

Traffic Advisor Control
There are two programmable “Switch Types” associated with Traffic
Advisor control, “Traffic Advisor Pattern Control” and “Traffic Advisor
Flash Control”.
When a switch’s “Switch Type” has been programmed as “Traffic Advisor
Pattern Control”, this switch now takes control of designated Traffic
Advisor output J2 pin 4 (white yellow) and the associated relay output of
the programmed switch. These two wires connect to the traffic advisor.
The first press of this switch will produce a Left sweep on the Traffic
Advisor, and will turn off a “Traffic Advisor Flash Control” switch if one is
active.
A second press will produce a right arrow.
A third press will produce a split arrow.
The next press returns the unit to Left arrow and the cycle repeats itself.
Holding the switch down for 2 seconds will shut the arrow off.
NOTE: Only one switch can be programmed as a “Traffic Advisor
Pattern Control” switch, If more than one switch is programmed,
unpredictable results will occur.
When a switch’s “Switch Type” has been programmed as “Traffic Advisor
Flash Control”:
Pressing this switch will produce a flash pattern on the Traffic Advisor
indicator, will turn off a “Traffic Advisor Pattern Control” switch if one is
active, and the relay output programmed for the “Traffic Advisor Flash
Control” switch will turn on.
Pressing this switch again will shut the arrow off.
NOTE: Only one switch can be designated as a “Traffic Advisor
Flash Control” switch, If more than one switch is programmed,
unpredictable results will occur.
Diagnostic Indicators:
While the siren is under normal use the diagnostic indicators are used to
indicate fault conditions within your siren system. The following table lists
the type of fault and the indicators response. If the indicator is on steady
while a tone is in use, this indicates that there is no fault with the associ-
ated speaker output.
Under voltage: LED #2 will be in DoubleFlash mode and siren tones will
not operate.
Over voltage: LED #1 will be in DoubleFlash mode and siren tones will
not operate.
Speaker # 1 short circuit: LED #1 will be in SingleFlash mode and siren
tones will not operate on speaker 1.
Speaker # 2 short circuit: LED #2 will be in SingleFlash mode and siren
tones will not operate on speaker 2.
Speaker #1 open circuit: LED #1will be off all siren tones will continue to
operate.

Programming the 295SHA1:
WARNING: Never try to program the unit while it is wired to the
vehicle. The unit must be removed from the vehicle before
programming. For programming, connect positive (+) 12 volts and
ground to J7, and pin 1 of J5 to (+) 12 volts only.
The 295SHA1 has the ability to program both the siren switches and the
lighting control switches via the keypad of the control head.
Switches include a slide switch, 8 lighting control momentary switches,
and 7 momentary siren control switches. The slide switch has one off
position and three active positions combined with the 8 momentary
switches, making a total of 11 lighting control switches. For each of the11
switches there are 11 corresponding relay outputs.
The 295SHA1 has the capability of customizing how the lighting control
switches operate, and how they control the relay outputs as well as siren
enable. Any of the 8 lighting control momentary switches can be
configured to operate in one of six switch types: push on push off,
momentary, flashing, timed output, TA pattern control or TA flash control.
Any of the 11 switches can be programmed to activate any combination of
relay outputs. Any of the 11 switches can be configured to remotely
activate or deactivate any of the 8 lighting control momentary switches.
Any of the11 switches can be configured to activate the siren into the HF
mode. One units programmed configuration can be copied to another unit,
and factory defaults can be restored.
