CHAPTER 6
Final Preparations of the e-Q2B Siren System
The final step in the installation of the e-Q2B Siren System is to ensure that the system is installed
correctly, that all vehicle functions operate properly, and that safety stickers and messages are available to
vehicle operators. Before proceeding, note the following precautions.
SOUND HAZARD—All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB)
that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your exposure to sound
of the siren and horn, and wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren and
horn indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to the
sound.
LIGHT HAZARD—To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning system
produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a
close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close range or
permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
Testing the Installation
Test the e-Q2B Siren System to verify that it is operating properly. Be sure to note the status of the LED
indicators on the front of the siren amplifier (Figure 6.1).

In addition, test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle
lighting systems for proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation
or changed any vehicle safety functions or circuits. Do not test the sound and light system of the vehicle
while driving. Operating the vehicle warning system may pose a hazard to the operator and other drivers
