MANUAL WAIL COAST-TO-STOP

Rotary Switch Operations:

This section will outline the operation of the siren in the 

factory default

configuration

. Refer to “Programming the Export Siren”) for information

on how to customize the operation of this siren.

RAD - Radio Repeat:

 

With the rotary switch in the RAD position, any

signal that is received by the 2-way radio will be simultaneously broadcast
over the vehicles loudspeaker (The unit must be connected to the 2-way
radio as outlined in this manual). 

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the AIRHORN tone. The AIRHORN tone
will stop when the input is released.

MAN 1 - Manual Siren #1:

 When the rotary switch is in this position

the siren is in standby. No tones will be activated until an action is taken by
the operator.

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating either the AUX ENABLE or HORN
RING input will produce a WAIL tone. The WAIL tone will ramp up to peak
frequency, then ramp back down and stop when the input is released.

MAN 2 - Manual Siren #2:

 

When the rotary switch is in this position

the siren is in standby. No tones will be activated until an action is taken by
the operator.

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN switch or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce a WAIL tone. This tone will ramp up to peak
frequency and stop when the input is released.

HF - Hands-Free Operation - 

When the rotary knob is in the HF

position, the siren functions are placed in a stand-by mode. Siren tones
are activated by a single “tap” on the MAN button or the vehicle’s steering
wheel horn ring (if the vehicle’s horn has been wired to the HORN RING
input). The first tap produces a “Wail” tone (a steady rise and fall tone). A
second tap produces a “Yelp” tone (a fast rise and fall tone). A third tap
produces a “Piercer™” tone (an extremely fast rise and fall tone). The next
tap returns the siren to a wail tone and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick
successive taps will stop the siren.

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the HF cycle.

T1 - Tone #1:

 When the rotary knob is in the T1 position, a steady, rise

and fall tone (WAIL) is produced.

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE will change the siren tone to a YELP pattern (a fast rise and
fall tone). Activating the input a second time returns the tone back to
WAIL.

T2 - Tone #2:

 When the rotary knob is in the T2 position, a fast, rise and

fall tone (YELP) is produced. 

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the PIERCER tone. Pressing the MAN
button a second time returns it back to YELP.

T3 - Tone #3: 

When the rotary knob is in the T3 position, an extremely

fast, rise and fall tone is produced.

With the Rotary Switch in this Position:

Pressing the MAN button or activating the HORN RING or AUX OVER-
RIDE input will result in the AIRHORN tone until the input is released.

Programming the Export Siren:

Siren Tone Programing Procedures

With Scan-Lock™ the tonal operation of the siren can be customized
to fit your needs. Scan-Lock™ is used to change the default siren
tones as shown below.

 

To change the primary

 

tone for rotary switch

positions T1, T2, & T3:

 Put the rotary switch in

the position that you wish to change. Press and
release the Scan-Lock switch. Each time the
Scan-Lock switch is pressed and released, the
next available tone will be broadcast. When the
desired tone is generated, it is automatically
saved for that rotary switch position.

To change the override tone for rotary switch
positions T1, T2. & T3:

 Put the rotary switch in

the position that you wish to change. Press and
hold the MAN button on the front panel on the
siren. Press and release the Scan-Lock switch.
Each time the Scan-Lock switch is pressed and
released, the next available tone will be
broadcast. When the desired tone is present, it
will automatically be saved as the override tone for that rotary switch
position. Release the MAN button.

To change one of the tones in the hands free
cycle. (See “Hands-Free Operation”):

 Put the

rotary switch in the HF position. Using the MAN
button on the front panel on the siren, advance to
the tone that you wish to change. Press and
release the Scan-Lock switch. Each time the
Scan-Lock switch is pressed and released, the
next available tone will be broadcast. When the desired tone is generated,
it will automatically be saved for that hands-free cycle position.

To change the tone for rotary switch positions
MAN1 or MAN2:

Put the rotary switch in the position that you wish
to change. Press and hold the MAN button on the
front panel on the siren. Press and release the
Scan-Lock switch. Each time the Scan-Lock
switch is pressed and released, the next available tone will be broadcast.
When the desired tone is generated, it will automatically be saved for that
rotary switch position. Release the MAN button.

To change the override tone for rotary switch position RAD:

Put the rotary switch in the RAD position. Press
and hold the MAN button on the front panel on
the siren. Press and release the Scan-Lock™
switch. Each time Scan-Lock™ is pressed and
released, the next available tone will be
broadcast. When the desired tone is generated, it
will automatically be saved for that rotary switch position. Release the
MAN button.

4.

Hold Scan-Lock switch in while turning power on. A set
of Title 13 compliant tones have been programmed for use.
Turn power off, then on to activate changes.

Re-Setting Factory Defaults:
