C. Handheld Controller Installation
a.
Although the handheld controller can be laid on any place in
the cab, it sometimes needs to be fastened in a certain place.
The installer then should ensure that the equipment is installed
only in the areas recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of
some safety equipments, such as the air bag, or damage the air
bag, causing serious injury or death to you or others.
b.
The location selected to mount the handheld controller and its
holder must not impair the driver’s ability to safely drive the
vehicle as he/she operates the siren. The selected location
should afford good visibility and free accessibility to the
handheld controller.
D. Electrical Installation
a. Be caution that any hot wire (+12V) shorts to vehicle frame,
high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in
electrical fires or molten metal. It is recommended that
disconnect the cable on the negative end of the battery before
performing installation.
b. Do not connect the EH-200 system to vehicle battery until all
other electrical connections are made and mounting of all
components is complete. Verify the polarities of the cable once
again and ensure that no short circuits exist, before connecting to
the battery terminals.
c. Install the supplied 8-conductor, RJ45 cable between the siren
and the handheld controller. Install one end of the cable to the
mating connector on the handheld controller and install the
other end into the mating connector on the amplifier box.
d.
If routing the cable requires drilling a hole in sheet metal or
other material, drill a 5/8
″
hole in the material. Install a 5/8
″
grommet (not supplied) or similar protective devices in the
hole, to protect the cable from damage which sharp edges
could cause.
e.
User-supplied 14-gauge red and black wires are required for
positive (+) and negative (-) connections. User-supplied
18-gauge wires are required for the speaker, horn ring out and
horn ring in connections. User-supplied two 14-gauge red
wires are required for positive (+) in connections.
f.
To install the positive and negative power wires, strip 1/4″of
insulation from the end of the wires. Then insert the wire into
the quick-on connector (supplied) and cramp securely with
proper tool. Connect the red wire to "POS+" position and black
wire to the "NEG-" position of the connectors on EH-200.
Connect the other ends of the wires directly to the terminals of
the vehicle battery after all installation is complete.
g.
The unit is supplied in the accessory kit with a eight-position,
pluggable connector to accommodate the other electrical
installation. Insert the wire into the green pluggable connector
and tighten the screw at the appropriate connector position.
1. Speaker -- EH-200 is designed to operate with one 11-ohm
impedance (100W) speaker or two 11-ohm impedance (100W)
