SECTION II - KAWASAKI SIREN
Model 80KM
STANDARD & OPTIONAL FEATURES
1. Model U80KM consists of a UMCO83 cable
and Model 80K Amplifier. The cable interfaces
the amplifier with Kawasaki handlebar switches
that control WAIL and YELP.
2. Optional connections or equipment can include:
a) Air Horn
b) Microphone & Cable (PA Kit)
UPA1 - UMNCT-SB & UCARK
INSTALLATION
1. Set slide switch on bottom of amplifier to match
power rating of siren speaker.
2. Install amplifier in left saddlebag with transistors
down, connector up. U-brackets may be used for
mounting, but amplifier life will be prolonged by
“floating” amplifier in 1-1/2” - 2” medium-density foam.
CONNECTIONS
1. Locate Kawasaki wiring harness for siren. Removal
of gas tank and / or inspection plate at left side may be
necessary. Wires have insulated bullet connectors.
2. Connect siren speaker to BROWN wires from 12-pin
amplifier connector.
3. Make balance of connections by matching Kawasaki
wire colors with amplifier harness wires.
AIR HORN
1. +12V applied to the amplifier’s
“AIR HORN”
wire
(3-pin power connector) operates the air horn, +12V
can be supplied by a separate switch or the regular horn
button.
2.Separate Switch - Install a light duty (1 to 3 ampere)
Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST), normally open push
button switch.
a)Using 18 ga. (minimum ), wire connect one switch
terminal (either one) to source of +12V.
b) Connect other terminal to
“AIR HORN”
wire.
3. Horn Button - The Kawasaki horn circuit is grounded (-)
which must be inverted to +12V by a relay. Using 18ga. wire
for new connections, proceed as follows:
a) Disconnect horn button wire from regular horns.
b) Install a light duty (1A) Single-Pole, Single-Throw
(SPST) relay (customer supplied).
c) Of the relay’s two coil connections, connect
either one to battery (+). Connect other to horn wire
button.
d) Of the relay’s two contact point connections,connect
one (either one) to battery (+). Connect other one to
“AIR HORN”
wire.
See diagram below for schematic details noting that
one coil terminal and one contact terminal both can
go to the same battery (+) source.
