Sound output will be severely reduced if any objects are in front of the speaker. If maximum sound
output is required for your application, you should ensure that the front of the speaker is clear of any
obstructions.
•
Install the speaker(s) as far forward on the vehicle as possible, in a location that provides maximum
signaling effectiveness while minimizing the sound reaching the vehicle’s occupants. Refer to the
National Institute of Justice guide 500-00 for further information.
•
Mounting the speakers behind the grille will reduce the sound output and warning effectiveness of the
siren system. Before mounting speakers behind the grille, make sure the vehicle operators are trained
and understand that this type of installation is less effective for warning others.
•
Sound propagation and warning effectiveness will be severely reduced if the speaker is not facing
forward. Carefully follow the installation instructions and always install the speaker with the projector
facing forward.
•
DO NOT install the speaker(s) or route the speaker wires where they may interfere with the operation of
airbag sensors.
•
If a vehicle seat is temporary removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
•
Installation of two speakers requires that you wire the speakers in phase.
•
Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment, which connects to the vehicle wiring, without reviewing
a vehicle wiring diagram, which is available from the vehicle manufacturer. Insure that your installation
will not affect vehicle operation and safety functions or circuits. Always check vehicle for proper
operation after installation.
•
DO NOT install equipment or route wiring or cord in the deployment path of an airbag.
•
Locate the control head so the vehicle, controls, and microphone can be operated safely.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that
could be damaged.
•
If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
After Installation
•
After installation, test the siren system and light system to ensure that it is operating properly.
•
Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions and vehicle light systems,
to ensure proper operation. Ensure that installation has not affected vehicle operation or changed any
vehicle safety function or circuit.
•
After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the instructional staff and all operating
personnel.
•
File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
