Service and Maintenance
Qualified personnel familiar with the siren, associated controls, and
power sources being used should perform service or maintenance.
The siren has moving parts, high operating currents, and produces high
output sound levels, which could cause severe personal injury,
electrocution, or death.
Before servicing or maintaining, ensure that remote activation cannot
occur and disconnect power to the siren and its controls.
If you are experiencing any difficulties, contact Federal Signal Customer Care at:
800-548-7229 or 708-534-3400 extension 5822 or Technical Support at:
800-524-3021 or 708-534-3400 extension 7329 or through e-mail at:

Preventive Maintenance
Test the 2001-AC for proper operation at least once a month. A daily test at noon,
curfew, or other selected time is preferred. This not only enhances the usefulness of
the siren, but also instills public confidence in the reliability of the warning system,
and provides additional confirmation of it being prepared for operation in an
emergency.
In order to minimize the possibility of siren failure, annual inspection and
maintenance is desirable. Check all connections and fasteners, tighten if necessary.
This schedule is only a suggested guideline. It may be necessary to vary the schedule
if the siren is used frequently or if it is used in an extreme climate.
The output sound level of a siren is capable of causing severe hearing
discomfort or permanent hearing damage. Therefore, ALWAYS wear
hearing protection and minimize exposure time when performing tests
or maintenance on the siren.
1. Turn off AC power.
2. Visually make sure all air intakes and sound outlets are not obstructed.
