RADIO VOLUME 

The radio repeat volume level is set using an adjustment on the side of the amplifier.  Set the 
Selector Switch to the Radio position and turn on the power.  With the radio volume set to 
normal level, adjust the siren radio repeat control to the desired level. 

OVERRIDE FUNCTIONS 

In addition to PA Override, two other override functions are available and controlled by the 
Siren button or auxiliary input. 

Horn Override - 

With the Selector Switch in the Phaser, Yelp or Horn positions the Siren 

button or auxiliary input activates a simulated air-horn tone.  This can optionally be disabled. 

Yelp Override - 

With the Selector Switch in the Wail position, pressing the Siren button or 

activating the auxiliary input toggles between the Wail and Yelp function. 

CUTOUT 

During installation, a cutout input may be connected to a door switch.  It turns off any siren 
tone when the door is opened.  The siren tone will continue to be cut off even when the door 
is closed.  Changing any switch or input will restore normal function. 

 HORN RING CYCLER (Optional) 

During installation, the auxiliary input may be connected to the horn ring or other switching 
device, and the HRC option selected.  With the Selector Switch set to the Horn position, the 
horn ring or Siren button can be tapped repeatedly to select the Wail, Yelp, Phaser and 
Standby tones or modes in succession.  Pressing and holding the horn ring or Siren button 
operates the Horn tone without changing the basic tone selection.
