Configurable Dip switches

There are ten dip switches on the front of the H

2

Covert

 amplifier that can be used to set various different features of the system.  When a dip 

switch is facing downward (towards the mounting bracket), it is considered to be in the “on” position.  When it is facing upward (towards the 

wiring diagram), it is considered to be in the “off” position.  All dip switches come preset to the “off” position.

Below is a description of the functions of all ten dip switches.

Dip switch #1 

When “ON”, the siren will operate in California Title 13 Mode.  Hyper Yelp, Hi-Lo, Hyper-Lo and Whoop siren tones will be disabled, limiting the 

available tones to Wail and Yelp.  In addition, the Air Horn is disabled if Light Levels 2 or 3 are active.

Dip switch #2

When “ON”, enables Auto Siren.  If Light Level 3 is turned on, then SIR1 siren tone will also turn on.  When Light Level 3 is turned off, any siren 

tone that is on will also turn off.

Dip switch #3

When “ON”, enables the Momentary Active Mode of AUX3.  AUX3 will only be active while the AUX3 button is pressed.

Dip switch #4

When “ON”, enables the Park Kill Light Level 3 Feature.  When Park Kill disables the siren, it will also drop the Light Level from Level 3 to Level 

2 (if it is currently in Level 3).

Dip switch #5

When “ON”, enables the Gun Lock Mode of AUX4.  When the AUX4 button is pressed, AUX4 will immediately become active.  After 10 seconds, 

AUX4 will become inactive again.

Dip switch #6

When “ON”, disables the Horn Ring Scrolling feature described above.  When this dip switch is in the “on” position, the horn ring will always 

produce either the Air Horn or Manual Tone regardless of siren or light levels.

Dip switch #7

When “ON”, Horn Ring will emulate the “MANUAL” button.  When “OFF”, Horn Ring will emulate the “AIR HORN” button.

Dip switch #8 and Dip switch #9

When either Dip switch #8 or Dip switch #9 to the “on” position, the EU Lock Feature is enabled.  This feature ensures that at least a certain 

Light Level is on while any siren tones, except Air Horn, are on.  If the siren is turned on without the minimum Light Level on, then that Light 

Level will turn on.  If later that Light Level is turned off, then the siren will also turn off if it is still on.  The minimum Light Level is set by the fol-

lowing table:

NOTE:  If both Auto Siren and EU Lock Level 3 are on, the siren will operate in a mode similar to Siren Lock on other Code 3, Inc. 

sirens.  In this mode, when Light Level 3 is turned on, SIR1 siren tone will also turn on.  When Light Level 3 is later turned off, the 

siren will also turn off. 

Dip switch #10

Reserved.  Leave this dip switch in the “OFF” position
