stator each contain at least one row of ports. As the motor rotates the rotor, air is drawn through an intake tube, 
and passes through the rotor and stator ports in pulses. These pulses are produced because the rotor alternately 
opens and closes the stator ports. The pulses of air produce sound at a frequency (pitch) that is dependent on the 
instantaneous rotational speed of the motor, and the number of ports in the rotor-stator combination. 
 

A Model RC2W Motor Starter is required to operate the siren. The Model 2 uses a 120 or 240 volt universal 

motor that can operate from either dc or 25-60Hz single-phase AC. 
 
 

1-5.   CONTROL DESCRIPTION 

 

 

A.  Models RC2W-120 (120VAC), AND RC2W-240 (240VAC) 

 

The  Model  RC2W  Motor  Starters  are  basically  a  heavy-duty  relay  that  is  required  for  the  starting  and 

operating  current  of  a  Model  2  siren. The  RC2W  is enclosed in  a  NEMA type  3R  enclosure. The  unit  must  be 
installed on a vertical surface. 
 
 

B. Models FC (1-way status), or FCTB (2-way status) Controllers 

 
The 

FC, or FCTB

 siren control units provide RF and/or wire line control of individually programmable 

timing  cycles for contact  closure  outputs.   The  versatility  of the 

FC

  makes  it  an  ideal choice for  virtually  all 

siren control applications or any  other process that can be controlled via relay contacts. 
 
 

The microprocessor based controller contains the following features: 

 

 

Synthesized Radio Receiver (Low Band, High Band, or UHF - 3 separate models) 

 

Two-Tone and DTMF Decoders 

 

Up to 4 Individually Programmable Output Relays 

 

Siren Tone Generator 

 

Push Buttons for Local Control 

 

Contact Closure Inputs for Land Line Control 

 

RS232 Programming Port 

 

Diagnostic LED’s 

 

Programmability 

 

 

All  functions  of  the 

FC 

controller  are  programmable  from  a  current  WINDOWS  compatible  computer 

with an RS232 port using Federal Signal's easy to use 

FSPWARE 

programming software.  The software allows 

easy configuration, uploading and downloading of control programs.

 

 

Programming options include: 

 

Radio Receiver Frequency 

 

Single and Two-Tone Sequential Decode Tones & Tone Lengths 

 

DTMF Decode Digits 

 

Output Relay Timing Patterns 

 

Tone Generation Frequencies & Durations 

 

Up  to  six  (6)  control  timing  sequences  may  be  programmed  into  the  controller.    Standard  siren  control 

timings  can  be  chosen or  custom  relay  output  timings  can  be  designed.   The  control functions  can  be  activated 
from any combination of six (6) Single Tone, Two Tone Sequential and/or DTMF tones.  Timing sequences can 
also be initiated using the local push buttons and contact closure inputs. 

 
Configuration programs are stored in nonvolatile E

2

 memory to ensure retention even during a complete 

power failure.
