UV Controller Installation
Most siren installations are one of two types: Pole Mount or Flat Surface Mount. These
two configurations make it possible to install a siren in almost any situation. If the
installations in this manual are not suitable, modification of one of the configurations may
be practical.
Many factors affect the propagation of sound over various types of terrain and changing
weather conditions. Consult FEMA CPG 1-17 and CPG 1-14 and your local Federal
Signal representative to properly place your outdoor warning equipment.
Pole Mounting
A typical pole mounted siren installation is shown in the Figure 8. The siren is mounted
on Class 2 utility pole (ANSI type wooden pole or equivalent) with a minimum
horizontal ground stress rating of 3,700 pounds (1682 kg). (Insure that soil loads will
conform to this size utility pole.)
NOTE :
• Certain soil conditions may require guying for the pole. Check with proper
building authorities.
• The speaker array installation is covered in a separate set of instructions supplied
with the array.
To install the UV controller to a wooden utility pole, do the following:
1. Uncrate the siren control. Remove the plastic bag attached to the conduit that is
connected between the Control Cabinet and the Battery Cabinet.
2. Unlock the Control Cabinet and the Battery Cabinet. Inspect the Control Cabinet and
Battery Cabinet for any damage. Report any damage immediately to the shipping
company and file a claim. Inform Federal Signal of the damage.
3. Install the wooden utility pole in accordance with accepted standards and practices.
4. Install the speaker array on the pole following the instructions supplied with the array.
5. Mark the four mounting holes on the pole for the UV controller. Attach the cabinets to
the pole at a height that is accessible to service personnel, but discourages vandalism
or as specified per contract.
