INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTIONS 

Carefully cutting programming resistor jumpers or traces on the printed circuit 
board inside the case can select various options.  The cover must be removed 
to access the jumpers.  The cover is held in place by a snap-fastener on the 
back of the unit.  Hold the unit with the front case flange on the edge of a hard 
surface and press hard on the back of the unit.  The chassis will slide out the 
front of the cover. 
 

Auxiliary Input Function

 - The auxiliary input normally activates the Horn 

function.  To activate the Man/Phsr function with the auxiliary input cut the 
jumper resistor labeled "AUX I". 
 

Auxiliary Input Polarity

 - The auxiliary input is normally activated by connecting to positive.  To activate by 

connecting to ground cut the two jumper resistors labeled "AUX P". 
 

Cutout Input Polarity

 - The cutout input is normally activated by connecting to positive.  To activate by connecting to 

ground cut the two jumper resistors labeled "CUT P". 
 

Two-Tone

 - Two-Tone can replace Phaser by cutting the jumper resistor labeled "T-T". 

 

Phaser Disable

 - The Phaser function can be completely disabled by cutting the jumper resistor labeled "PHSR". 

 

Horn Ring Cycler option (HRC)

 - This option allows selection of Wail, Yelp, Phaser and Standby by repeatedly 

pressing horn ring or other switch connected to the auxiliary input.  It is selected by cutting both the "AUX I" and 
"PHSR" jumper resistors.  This disables Phaser operation in the Wail or Yelp positions 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Horn Disable

 - The Horn function can b e disabled by cutting the trace on the back of the 

board at the location designated "cut to disable horn".
