OPTION SWITCHES
An 8-position DIP switch on the remote amplifier may be changed to select various options.
Adjusting Option Switches
- use a small screwdriver to change switch settings.
SW-1 Auxiliary Input Polarity
- The auxiliary input is normally activated with positive. Turn
switch OFF for negative activation.
SW-4 Two-Tone
- Turn this switch OFF to replace Phaser with Two-Tone.
SW-5 Horn Enable
- Turn this switch OFF to disable Horn tone. Horn replaced with Yelp.
SW-4 & 5 Siren Tone Disable
- All siren tones may be disabled except Horn by turning OFF
both switches. All control inputs will produce Horn tone.
SW-6 Short Manual
- The Manual siren tone will normally fall and die out when released. Turn
this switch OFF to have Manual stop immediately.
SW-7 Phaser Enable
- Turn this switch OFF to disable Phaser tone. Phaser replaced with Yelp.
SW-8 Wail / Yelp Toggle Mode
- The Wail and Yelp remote switch inputs normally activate the
Wail and Yelp modes of operation. This mode changes the Wail input to Wail/Yelp toggle while
the Yelp input is changed to activate Standby. Turn this switch on to enable this feature. See
OPERATION section for further details.
HORN RING CYCLER 2 (HRC2)
- Turn on DIP SW-1 and SW-2 to enable this feature. Also
connect the auxiliary input to the horn ring or other switch. While the siren is in standby, tap the
horn ring to bring the unit out of standby into Wail tone. Repeatedly tapping the horn ring will
cycle through Wail, Yelp, and Phaser tones. Tapping the horn ring twice quickly will stop the siren
tones and return the unit to standby. Pressing and holding the horn ring will produce Horn tone
until released. Then the siren will return to its previous siren tone or standby.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical connections to the amplifier are made using a terminal block plug located on the ampli-
fier. A label on the unit identifies each terminal function. Install the plug on the unit before wiring.
If the unit needs service the plug can be easily removed without unwiring. The power supply of
the unit must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50 amps for adequate short circuit
protection and reliable operation. The preferred source is directly at the vehicle battery. The
amplifier is fused near connector.
Attach leads by stripping 3/8", inserting into connector and clamp by tightening screw. Make sure
the screw is tight and the wire can't be pulled out.
Failure to adequately tighten the screw can result in improper operation or burning the
connector and wire.
Wire Size and Termination
- The diagram shows the minimum wire size used for each connec-
tion, along with recommended lead color. If the wire is longer than 10 ft. use the next larger wire
size. Use only high quality crimp connectors for installation on the vehicle.
