SAFETY NOTICES
People’s lives depend on your safe installation, service and operation of our products. It is
important to read, understand and follow all instructions shipped with this product. In addition,
listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
INSTALLATION & SERVICE
•
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when performing various installation and
service functions such as making electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment.
Therefore experienced electricians in accordance with national, state and any other electrical
codes having jurisdiction should perform installation. All work should be performed under the
direction of the installation or service crew safety foreman.
•
The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To prevent
excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings and restrict access to areas
near the sirens. Sirens may be operated from remote control points. Whenever possible,
disconnect all siren power including batteries before working near the siren.
•
After installation or service, test the siren system to confirm that it is operating properly. Test
the system regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency.
•
If future service personnel do not have these warnings and all other instructions shipped with
the equipment to refer to, the siren system may not provide the intended audible warning and
service personnel may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injury.
File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these
instructions to new recruits and trainees. Also, give a copy to anyone who is going to service
or repair the sirens. For additional copies, call the Federal Warning Systems Customer Care
Center at 800-524-3021 or write to them at 2645 Federal Signal Drive, University Park, IL
60466.
OPERATION
•
Failure to understand the capabilities and limitations of your siren system could result in
permanent hearing loss, other serious injuries or death to persons too close to the sirens when
you activate them or to those you need to warn. Carefully read and thoroughly understand all
safety notices in this manual and all operations-related-items in all instruction manuals shipped
with equipment. Thoroughly discuss all contingency plans with those responsible for warning
people in your community, company, or jurisdiction.
