Installation
Electrical Connections
The following steps are recommended when installing, to help reduce RFI:

Make sure that both the control head and amp are securely attached to good chassis
ground (i.e. no paint in-between the chassis and the grounding terminal).

Keep the siren control head and the police radio as far away from one another as is
practical.

Check that the police radio antenna wire makes a right angle from the back of the
police radio and runs on one side of the vehicle. The communications cable for the
siren should make a right angle out of the back of the control head and exit in the
opposite direction from both the police radio antenna wire and the police radio power
wires.

Excess communication cable from the control head to the amp should be tightly bound
back near the amplifier box.
BEFORE installing your siren and running your wires, please review
the diagram below showing an example of how the wires should be
run.
