100W speaker use and full lighting control.   

 

The primary operating modes are Phaser, Yelp, Wail, Hands Free, Manual, Alert, 
and Radio.  A Noise Canceling PA Override and push -button Horn Override are 
available in all modes.  A manual push-button is provided for push -on/push-off tone 
toggle operation in the Phaser, Yelp, and Wail modes.  It also allows manual siren 
control in the Manual or PA modes.  The Phaser function can be optionally replaced 
by Two-Tone or disabled entirely with program jumpers.  Another feature allows 
cycling through Wail, Yelp, Phaser, and Standby by providing a signal to the horn 
ring auxiliary wire when the function switch is in the Hands Free (HF) position.  A 
Park Kill option is provided for connection to a door switch, etc. to disable the siren 
when exiting the vehicle.  Radio and PA volume controls are provided on the front 
panel.  Also located on the front panel are two LED's for speaker diagnostics. 

 

This unit additionally contains several distinct controls for operation of vehicle 
devices.  A slide s witch allows quick pursuit mode operation.  The far right slide 
position can be set up to activate maximum lights and siren for pursuit mode.  There 
are four push buttons to control four different lighting or auxiliary functions. 

 

The front panel is backlighted with LED's for night visibility.  This compact unit 
utilizes short circuit, high voltage, low voltage, and reverse polarity protection 
systems for maximum service life.
