Yellow: Lights

 - This lead may be connected to the dash lights or to the red power lead.  

Connecting to the dash lights will turn on the panel lights whenever the dash lights are on.  
When connected to the red lead, make sure that the ignition switch controls the power to that 
connection.  This prevents the panel lights from being continuously on. 

White: Control

 - Connect white leads from amplifier and control head.  The connection may 

be extended with any size wire.  Route this lead away from the transmitter antenna lead to 
prevent R.F. interference being fed to the siren amplifier. 

Green: Auxiliary Input

 - Used for Siren control.  

Performs same function as Siren button.  Connect 
to a normally open switch or to horn ring circuit.  
Circuit may connect to either positive or negative.  
When connected to horn ring circuit, use a SPDT 
switch to connect horn ring to either vehicle horn 
or to manual control circuit.   
NOTE:  Permanent disconnection of the vehicle 
horn is NOT recommended.

 

NOTE: be sure to cut lead short if not used and insulate with electrical tape.
