Mounting:

This siren is designed to be mounted onto the dash or other surface with a bail strap
mounting bracket, or into your vehicle’s console (if so equipped). 

See the Air Bag

Warning on front cover.

WARNING: Mounting this unit will require drilling. It is absolutely necessary to
make sure that no other vehicle components could be damaged in the process.
Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely,
select a different location.

Bail Strap Mount:

1.

Position bail strap in selected mounting
location and drill mounting holes, then
secure the bail strap to the vehicle.

2.

Secure the siren to the bail strap as shown.
Tighten the screws firmly.

Console Mount:

Console manufacturers offer mounting kits that include all the necessary hardware
and brackets required to mount this unit into their console.

Microphone Clip:

A microphone clip is included. Secure with provided hardware.

WARNING: Refer to the Air Bag Warning before installing this clip.

Wiring:

Siren Input Connector - RED: Power - BLACK: Ground

WARNING: All customer supplied wires that connect to the positive terminal of
the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating
current and FUSED at the battery to carry that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

1.

Extend the RED and BLACK wires toward the vehicle battery. To pass the RED
and BLACK wires through, you
may have to drill a hole in the
firewall. Insert a grommet to
protect the wires.

2.

Route the RED and BLACK wires
along the factory harness towards the battery and install a fuse block (user
supplied) on the end of the RED wire. 

Remove fuse from fuse block before

connecting any wires to battery.

3.

Connect fuse block wire to POSITIVE terminal on battery. There must not be more
than 2 feet of wire between fuse block and battery. The wire between the fuse and
battery is “unprotected,” do not allow it to chafe and short to ground.

4.

Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground.

YELLOW & BROWN - Speaker Wires

1.

Route the YEL and BRN wires toward vehicle siren speakers, along factory wire
harness and through firewall at the same point as the RED and BLK wires.

2.

Connect the YEL wire to the POSITIVE terminal on the SPEAKER and the BRN
wire to NEGATIVE connection on the speaker.

WHITE/GREEN - Horn Relay Wires:

1.

Route WHITE/GREEN wire along factory wire harness and through firewall at the
same point as the RED and BLACK wires.

2.

Route WHT/GRN wires to vehicle horn relay. Follow the factory wire harness.

3.

Locate the wire that connects the vehicle horn to the horn relay.

4.

Connect the WHT/GRN wire to the wire that runs from the horn relay to the horn.

GREEN - Aux Override:

This wire is activated by switching it to ground (see page 3 for operation).

Two BLUE wires - Radio Re-Broadcast (optional):

The 2 remaining blue wires are used to connect your 2-way radio’s external speaker
for radio re-broadcast (optional connection).

NOTE: If your remote speaker is amplified (speaker has power amp circuit),
radio re-broadcast will not work and should not be used.

1.

Locate the 2 wires that connect the external speaker to the 2-way radio,
cut one of them and splice one of the blue wires into this circuit.

2.

Cut the other speaker wire and splice the other BLUE wire into this

circuit.

Congratulations on selecting the Export Siren. This siren offers a unique and distinctive collection of features designed to allow the
user to customize the operation of this siren to suit their individual needs. Features include:

®

Power Switch

This switch has two positions. Down (Off) and Up (On). When this switch is off, siren
functions are disabled.

Rotary Switch

The Rotary Knob controls the siren functions of the 

Export

. There are 7 positions that

may be selected 

(see “Switch Operations”).

Volume Knob

The Volume Knob controls the volume of Public Address function. Volume is
increased by rotating the knob in a clockwise direction. Rotating the volume knob in a
counter-clockwise direction decreases the volume produced by these features. The
volume knob has no effect on siren tones.

MAN Button

The Manual button generates a variety of tones, depending on what position the
rotary knob is in (see 

“Rotary Switch Operations”

).

Diagnostic Indicator:

While this siren is under normal use the diagnostic indicator is used to indicate fault
conditions with your siren system. The following table lists the type of fault and the
indicators response. If the indicator is on steady while a tone is in use, this implies
that there is no fault with the speaker output. 

Fault Condition Diagnostic Indicators Response

Speaker

 

Short Circuit: 

The speaker LED will be in a SingleFlash mode (the LED will 

be on and off an equal amount of time) and siren tones won’t operate.

Speaker

 

Undercurrent:

 Speaker LED will be off. All tones will continue to operate.

Microphone:

Whenever the siren is on, activating the microphone (pressing the switch on the side
of the mic.) will shut down any other siren functions and enable public address
operation regardless of the rotary switch position or any other switch or input.
