GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The SC-1000 Series Siren Amplifier with Light Control is designed for single 100W speaker use. 
The SC-1002 and SC-1012 are a console unit and remote unit respectively. 
The SC-1022 is a remote hand held unit with pushbutton controls. 
 

SC-1002 / 1012 - 

The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Standby se-

lected by 3-position rocker switches.  Momentary Horn Override, Momentary Phaser Override or 
push-on/push-off Phaser operation while in the Mechanical, Wail, and Yelp modes.  Manual siren 
control of Mechanical, Wail, and Yelp.  Lights are controlled with two rocker switches.  The SC-
1012 may be controlled with supplied switch panel or user supplied switches. 
 

SC-1022 - 

The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, Phaser, and Standby 

selected by four pushbutton switches.  Momentary Horn Override pushbutton and Manual siren 
pushbutton for control of Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Phaser.  Lights are controlled with two 
pushbuttons as well. 
 
On all units, an internal DIP switch provides options to change tones, disable tones, HRC2 opera-
tion, and Auxiliary input polarity.  The units utilize short circuit, high voltage, and reverse polarity 
protection systems for maximum service life.  An output light indicates siren signal output for 
diagnostics and troubleshooting.
