200W COMPACT SIREN W/PA FUNCTION

-TESTING AFTER INSTALLATION-

After installation, test all the functions of A200 including the horn 

operation or footswitch if used, to ensure that it is operating properly. 

All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB) that may 

cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your exposure to 

siren sound and wear hearing protection. After installation and testing 

is complete provide a copy of this manual to all operating personnel.

-MAINTENANCE-

Your Compact siren has been designed to provide trouble free 

service. In case of difficulty, see the Troubleshooting Guide. A primary 

cause of failure is shorted or open wires. The majority of the short/

open circuits have been found where wiring passes through firewalls, 

roofs, etc. If difficulty persists, contact the factory for troubleshooting 

advice or return instructions, maintain a complete parts inventory 

and service facility at the factory and will repair or replace (at the 

factory’s discretion) any unit found to be defective under normal

by anyone other than a factory authorized technician without the 

express written consent of the factory, will void the warranty. Units
