WARNING!
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended
that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displace-
ment connections (e.g. 3M) Scotchlock type connectors. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compart-
ment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will significantly reduce the
current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use “SXL” type wire in engine compartment.
All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and
hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and de-
vices. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from
corrosion and loss of conductivity. Ground (Earth) terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to
the vehicle battery.
The user should install a circuit breaker sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity in the supply line to protect against short
circuits. For example, a 30 Amp circuit breaker should carry a maximum of 24 Amps.
DO NOT USE 1/4” DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit break-
ers are very sensitive to high termperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their capacity.
Connections
(Reference Figures 1 and 2– Connection Diagram)
1. Disconnect the cable on the negative end of the battery before performing installation. Do not connect the H
2
Covert system to vehicle
battery until all other electrical connections are made and mounting of all components is complete. Verify the polarities of the cable and
ensure that no short circuits exist before connecting to the battery terminals. If routing the extension cable requires drilling a hole in sheet
metal or other material, drill a 5/8″ hole in the material and install a 5/8″ grommet (not supplied) to protect the cable.
2. User-supplied 12-gauge red and black wires are required for positive (+12V) and negative (NEG) connections. User-supplied 18-gauge
wires are required for the speaker, door/park-siren-off input, radio input, chassis ground, horn ring out and horn ring in connections.
3.
Attach the handheld controller to the amplifier by inserting the RJ45 connector on the end of the coil cord into the mating port on the ampli
-
fier. If the amplifier is remotely mounted, use the included 25’ extension cord and extension adaptor.
4.
Configure the dip switches on the front of the siren amplifier to suit your needs. See page 9 for the list of dip switches and their impact on
the system.

5. To install the positive and negative power wires, strip 1/4” of insulation from the end of the wires, insert the red wire into the left port of the
two-position, pluggable connector (color green), which corresponds to the “+12V” position, and the black wire into the right port, which
corresponds to the “NEG” position, and tighten the screws. The “+12V” position may be connected either directly to a +12V source (such
as a battery), or through a switch (such as an ignition switch).
