Wire Size and Termination
The wiring diagram on the next page shows the minimum wire size used for
each connection, along with recommended lead color. Please use the following
guidelines when wiring your siren:
•
If the wire is longer than 10 ft. use the next larger wire size. Use only high quality
crimp connectors.
•
Make sure all connections are tight.
•
Route the wiring to prevent wear, overheating and/or interference with air bag
deployment.
•
Use grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls.
•
Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.
•
Ground connections should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably
directly to the negative of the vehicle battery.
•
Install and check all wiring before connection to vehicle battery.
Wiring Connections:
BLACK LEADS:
You MUST connect BOTH black wires when using two 100W driver
speakers. Connect to the negative of the battery, or to a good chassis
ground. Be sure to use minimum size #14 AWG wire.
RED LEADS:
You MUST connect BOTH red wires when using two 100W driver
speakers. Connect to the positive of the battery, or to a high current power
buss. A power relay may also be used. Be sure to use minimum size #14
AWG wire.
BROWN LEADS:
Connect one lead to each terminal or lead of the speaker. Be sure to use
minimum size #14 AWG wire
. If connecting a second speaker in
parallel,
you must observe the polarity of the speakers (phasing)
.
Be
sure that the positive terminals of both speakers are connected together
to the
same
brown wire from the siren
. In which case, the negative
terminals of both speakers would also be connected together to the other
brown wire from the siren.
Optional Connections:
BLUE LEADS:
Use for radio repeat. Connect one blue lead to each terminal of the radio
speaker or output connector of the radio. Most radio outputs are isolated, in
which polarity would not be important. Radios with polarity sensitive
outputs should be connected w/ the blue wire from pin 6 to the positive radio
output, and the blue wire from pin 3 to the negative radio output. Use #18
AWG wire.
GREEN LEAD:
Use for remote (Aux.) Manual control. Connect to horn ring circuit or
remote switch. Circuit may be positive or negative with proper jumper
selection. See INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTIONS section (page 3) for
jumper details.
NOTE:
Cut lead short if not used & insulate w/ electrical
tape.
WHITE LEAD:
Used for Park Kill (Cut-off). Connect to dome light or added door switch.
Circuit may be positive or negative with proper jumper selection. See
INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTION section (page 4) for jumper details.
NOTE:
Be sure to cut lead short if not used and insulate with electrical tape.
Testing
- Test all siren functions after installation to assure proper operation. Test
vehicle operation to assure no damage to vehicle.
