CHAPTER 5
Mounting the Siren Amplifier and Control Head
The next step in the installation after wiring and connecting the e-Q2B Siren System is to permanently
mount the siren amplifier and control head in the vehicle. Verify that the mounting locations you selected
earlier are safe for installing these components. Before installing the siren amplifier and control head, note
the following precautions.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT—Do not install equipment or route wiring in the
deployment path of an air bag. Failure to observe this warning will reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing serious
injury or death.
SEAT REMOVAL PRECAUTION—If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify
with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper air bag
deployment.
UNIT REQUIRES UNRESTRICTED AIR FLOW—The siren amplifier is cooled by an
internal fan. Do not install it in areas where the air flow is restricted. Do not mount
the unit near a heater duct or under the hood.
UNIT IS NOT WATERPROOF—The housing of the siren amplifier is NOT waterproof.
The module must be mounted in a location that is sheltered from falling rain, snow,
standing water, etc.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS—When drilling holes, check the area you are drilling into
to be sure you do not damage vehicle components while drilling. All drilled holes
should be de-burred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings
going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or convolute/split
loom tubing.
