Messages to Installers and Users   This product 

should be installed to code by a licensed electrician 

and follow all safety instructions. Failure to do so 

may result in property damage, serious injury, or 

death.
•  Read and understand instructions before 

installing or operating the equipment.

•  SHOCK HAZARD - To avoid electrical shock 

hazards, do not connect wires when power is 

applied.

•  Optimum sound distribution will be severely 

reduced if any objects are in front of the horn. 

Ensure that the front of the horn is clear of any 

obstructions.

•  All effective warning sounders produce loud 

sounds that may cause, in certain situations, 

permanent hearing loss. Take appropriate 

precautions, such as hearing protection. The 

device should be installed far enough away 

from potential listeners to limit their exposure 

while still maintaining its effectiveness. The 

OSHA Code of Federal Regulations 1910.95 

Noise Standard provides guidelines that may 

be used regarding permissible noise exposure 

levels.

•  After installation, test the system to ensure 

that it is operating properly.
