MOUNTING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For the safety of the installer, vehicle operator, passengers and the community
please observe the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow all safety
precautions and instructions may result in property damage, injury and/or
death.
The LCS770 siren may be mounted above the dash, below the dash, on a tunnel, or
in a rack with the mounting u-bracket provided. Choose a mounting location
convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Inspect
behind mounting area for clearance. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent
overheating. Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as
microphone bracket placement. Install mounting bracket to vehicle using 1/4"
hardware (not supplied). Drill two 1/8" size holes, and install microphone clip
using the two screws provided with the clip.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical connections to the unit are made using removable connectors located on
the back. If the unit needs service the connectors can be easily unplugged from the
unit without unwiring the connector.
The power supply of the siren must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50
amps for adequate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred
source is directly at the vehicle battery. The unit is internally fused. A wiring
diagram on page 8 shows detail of how to wire the siren to the vehicle.
Wire Size and Termination
- The wiring diagrams on pages 8 and 10 show the
minimum wire size used for each connection, along with recommended lead color.
If the wire is longer than 10 ft., then use the next larger wire size.
!!! WARNING !!!
DO NOT mount in air bag deployment area.
Devices should be mounted only in locations listed in SAE standard J1849.
Controls should be placed within convenient reach of the driver.
Assure clearances before drilling in vehicle.
To prevent internal damage, the mounting bolts must not enter case more
than 1/4".
Sound levels produced by attached speakers can cause permanent hearing loss.
Never operate this unit without adequate hearing protection for you and others
in the area. (OSHA 1910.95)
