OPERATION   (continued)

 

SC-1022 Model

The unit is normally turned on with ignition switch on the vehicle.  See INSTALLATION section. 
The 

POWER

 light on remote amplifier will turn on.  The hand control will also be backlit. 

SIREN CONTROLS 

MECH, WAIL, YELP, AND PHSR PUSHBUTTON SWITCHES 

Four pushbutton switches control the primary operating mode of the siren. 
The primary operating modes are: 

Standby

 - A silent mode that may be overridden at any time.

 

Mech

 - A simulated mechanical siren tone.  Tone may be changed or disabled.  See 

OPTION SWITCHES section. 

Wail

 - A slower changing tone used on highways. 

Yelp

 - A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas. 

Phaser

 - A very rapid changing tone used at intersections and very highly congested 

areas.  May be optionally replaced with 

Two-Tone 

or disabled.  Two-Tone is two 

alternating frequencies like a European  HI-LO.  See OPTION SWITCHES section. 

 

Momentarily press button to activate (lit red).  Momentarily press button again to de-activate.  Also 
while a particular mode is activated, switch to a different mode by pressing one of the other three 
buttons.  The unit is in Standby when NONE of the four buttons are activated (NOT lit red).  For 
example starting with all four buttons off, press the 

Wail 

button to turn on Wail.  Now press the 

Yelp 

button to change to Yelp.  Press the 

Yelp 

button again to turn off sound (return to Standby). 

When Mechanical or Wail is turned off the tone will die out.  Turn on Short Manual option to stop  
tone immediately.  See OPTION SWITCHES section. 

MAN PUSHBUTTON SWITCH 

Provides manual control of siren tone depending on the primary operating mode selected. 
While in Standby, the 

Manual 

button controls the Mechanical tone.  Rising to peak while pressed 

then falling until die out when released.  May be optionally replaced with manual Wail tone. 
See OPTION SWITCHES section. 
While in Mech, Wail, Yelp, or Phaser mode, pressing the 

Manual 

button causes tone to rise and 

peak then resume when released. 

HORN PUSHBUTTON SWITCH 

Produces a simulated Air-Horn tone while pressed.  Overrides all siren modes.  Horn tone may be 
disabled.  See OPTION SWITCHES section. 

AUXILIARY INPUT FUNCTIONS 

The switch or horn ring attached is intended to be momentary.  While in Mech, Wail, Yelp, or 
Phaser mode, activating auxiliary will produce Horn tone.  While in Standby, activating auxiliary 
will normally produce Horn tone.  Different tones are available.  See OPTION SWITCHES section.

-  this feature may also be added.  See description on Page 11.
