The ST240 has several options that can be selected prior to installation by using
either the two DIP switches located on the
back of the unit, or by using the “tone
programming” button on the back in
combination with the knob and/or buttons on
the front of the unit. These options should be
set before installing the siren in the vehicle.
DIP Switch Settings:
Auxiliary AND Park-Kill Input Polarity
The Auxiliary input (terminal #7) and Park Kill input (terminal #12) are normally
activated by applying a positive voltage to each wire. If you would like to activate
either function by connecting to ground (negative) instead, use the DIP switches
located on the back of the siren.
The default setting for both switches (Positive Switching)
is such that the DIP switches are flipped AWAY from the
closest edge of the siren
(i.e. DOWN in the picture to
the right)
. To have either function activated when the
input is grounded, flip the corresponding switch in the
opposite direction (TOWARDS the edge of the siren/UP).
