SELECTOR SWITCH 

The rotary selector switch controls the primary 
operating function of the siren. 

 

PSHR (Phaser)

- Ultra-fast warble tone used for 

maximum attention in highly congested areas.  

 

YELP

 - A rapid warble tone used in light to 

moderately congested areas . 

 

WAIL

 - A normal rise-fall tone used on highways and 

areas with low traffic or constant traffic flow. 

 

HF (Hands Free)

 - Also known as Horn Ring Cycler, allows the user to cycle 

through Wail, Yelp, Phaser and Manual by repeatedly pressing the horn or other 
switch connected to the AUX input.  Operating any other switch resumes normal 
operation.  Please note that this mode disables the Manual (MAN) push-button 
selection when a Wail, Yelp, or Phaser tone is cycled to. 

 

MAN (Manual )

 - A silent mode that allows push-button Manual (MAN), push-

button Horn, and Public Address operation.  The siren output

 winds down

 when 

the Manual push-button switch is released. 

 

ALERT 

- A silent mode that allows push -button Manual (MAN), push-button 

Horn and Public Address opera tion.  The siren output

 terminates immediately

 

when the Manual push-button switch is released. 

 

RADIO 

- Also known as Radio Repeat, this function amplifies a radio speaker 

input for re-broadcast outside the vehicle through the siren speaker(s).  PA is 
available, but no siren tones are available in this position.
