3-7
3-4. PRE-OPERATION
CHECKOUT.
After the siren has been completely installed, perform the following checks before putting
the siren into service.
WARNING
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. Make sure all connections in the Control Unit/Battery Box are correct and properly
tightened.
2. Make sure no one is within 300' of the siren if they are above ground level. Sound levels
on the ground are not excessive when the siren is mounted at least 40' above the ground.
3. Activate each siren function from all control points. Check for proper rotation and
sound of siren signals. After confirming that the installation is complete and it has been established
that the siren is operating properly, it is recommended that all control devices be padlocked to
discourage tampering and vandalism.
