SECTION IX - TWO-TONE SYSTEMS

     For Model 180K

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

1. Control Unit- Any existing 180 system can be used.

No modifications or additional switches are needed.

2. Amplifiers- Two amplifiers, each housed in a separate

cabinet, are required.

3. Cables- A UMCO29T is needed for interconnecting the

two amplifiers. UMCO30K (4 foot or 15 foot long) is

needed for interconnecting both amplifiers with the control

unit.

UMCO29K normally supplied with control switches.

4. Siren Speakers- At least one speaker must be used with

each amplifier. Two speakers may be used as indicated by

dotted lines in drawing.

Note:

 A speaker having one horn, but two driver units

(such as 200 watt speaker), is electrically the same as

two speakers.

AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION

1. Install first amplifier as indicated in drawing.

2. Set slide switch on bottom of amplifier chassis

to match power rating of speakers to be used.

3. Install amplifiers with 4 inches maximum

between cabinets.

PRELIMINARY CONNECTIONS

1. Interconnect AIR HORN wires from both 3-pin

amplifier connectors using the appropriate connector.

2. Interconnect ALARM wires from both amplifiers if

Intrusion Alarm (Section VIII) is desired. If not wanted

tape and do not use wire.

3. Connect one terminal (either one) of a siren speaker

to vehicle chassis (-). Repeat for all other speakers using

same terminal # of each speaker.

4. Connect the 

BROWN

 wire from each amplifier

connector to chassis (-).

5. If it is desired, wires may be cut in the UMC029T to

restrict the number of sounds available in the second

amplifier.

FINAL CONNECTIONS

See drawing.

IMPORTANT

: Keep 

RED

 amplifier primary wires equal

in length. Connect both to a length of 10ga wires.Connect

other end directly to battery (+) post or to an appropriate

power distribution terminal. Do not connect to ignition

switch or ignition - controlled circuit.
