SM3—5 

TESTING THE SM3   

 

For testing your SM3 you'll need:   
 

A speaker with an impedance from 3 to 45 ohms. Any style will do, but a horn type will give the       most 
volume.  

Power source from 9 to 12 volts DC. A 9 volt battery will suffice for now. 

Pushbutton switch. A doorbell button works well, but simply touching two wires together will do.   

 

‰

1.  Connect up the speaker to points 1 and 2.   

 

‰

2.  Connect your pushbutton (or wires to touch) between point 4 and point 3 (the + power connection).   

 

‰

3.  Connect ( + ) power to point 3 and ( - ) ground to point 5. 

 

 

‰

4.  Depress the button and you'll hear the characteristic upward wail of the police siren.
