200W COMPACT SIREN W/PA FUNCTION
OPERATION
-REMOTE CONTROL HEAD-
All controls utilized during normal operation of the A200 siren are
located on the remote control head.
1. OFF switch – the rocker switch on the left side of the panel. It
activates the power of the siren system.
2. SCROLL switch – The momentary switch on the middle of the
panel. The siren tone will change each time the control switch is
pressed (Wail, Yelp, PHSR). The siren will change to “Air Horn”
mode if the control switch is held. From the Standby mode a short
momentary push on the control switch will produce the wail siren
tone. With each successive momentary signal on the remote input
line, the siren scrolls to the next tone. The normal sequence of tones
is: Wail, Yelp and PHSR. Holding the switch for a prolonged period
will produce “Air Horn”. Each push on the vehicles horn switch will
also sound vehicles horn as wired in Figure 1 on pg. 3.
3. AUX switch – It is recommended that customers use auxiliary
switch and horn transfer relay (both optional equipment).
-HORN TAP FEATURE-
The HORN-TAP feature allows the driver to enable and change the
audible siren sound via the vehicle’s horn ring. All functions available
through the switch “SCROLL/HORN” will also be available through
the horn ring switch once the wire is connected. To use HORN-TAP
feature, the SCROLL/HORN on the amplifier box should connect to
the vehicle’s horn ring switch. See figure 1 - Wiring Diagram and
Installation section, Electrical Installation e. 4 for instructions of
wiring on SCROLL/HORN.
INSTALLATION
-UNPACKING-
After unpacking the A200, examine it for damage that may have
occurred during transit. File a claim immediately with the carrier
stating the extent of the damage if the siren has been damaged.
Carefully check all enveloped, shipping labels and tags before
removing or destroying them.
MOUNTING
-AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION-
1. The A200 amplifier is waterproof. It may be mounted under the
vehicle’s hood, in the trunk, under the rear deck, under the front seat
or in the equipment cabinet. It must be installed in an adequately
ventilated area. Do not install near heater ducts. Keep in mind that
the control cable is 3 meter (9.8 feet) long.
2. Using the mounting holes on the amplifier as a template, scribe
four drill position marks at the mounting locations. Be sure that
both sides of the mounting surface are clear of parts that may be
damaged.
3. The siren accessory kit with mounting hardware supplied
provides the siren user with a choice of mounting hardware. Secure
the amplifier to the mounting surface, using the mounting hardware,
including lock washers.
-REMOTE CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION-
1. Although the control head can be laid on any place in the cab,
it sometimes needs to be fastened in a certain place. The installer
then should ensure that the equipment is installed only in the areas
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Failure to observe this
warning will reduce the effectiveness of some safety equipment,
such as the air bag, or damage the air bag, causing serious injury or
death to you or others.
2. The location selected to mount the control head and its holder
must not impair the driver’s ability to safely drive the vehicle as he/
she operates the siren. The selected location should afford good
visibility and free accessibility to the control head.
WARNING
!
Do not install this product or route its wires in
the air bag deployment area.
Doing so may cause damage to or reduce
effectiveness of the air bag, or create projectile
that could cause serious injury or death.
To determine air bag deployment area refer to
vehicle manufacturer's manual.
