During Installation
• Do NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product can cause the system
to fail. If drilling must be done near the unit, place an ESD approved cover over the unit to prevent
metal shavings from entering the unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings
present in or near the unit.
• Do NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are made,
mounting of all components is complete, and you have verified that no shorts exist. If wiring is shorted
to vehicle frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or
flying molten metal.
• Be sure the siren amplifier and speaker(s) in your installation have compatible wattage ratings.
• In order for the electronic siren to function properly, the ground connection must be made to the
NEGATIVE battery terminal.
• Sound output will be severely reduced if any objects are in front of the speaker. If maximum sound
output is required for your application, you should ensure that the front of the speaker is clear of any
obstructions.
• Install the speaker(s) as far forward on the vehicle as possible, in a location which provides maximum
signaling effectiveness and minimizes the sound reaching the vehicle’s occupants. Refer to the
National Institute of Justice guide 500-00 for further information.
• Mounting the speakers behind the grille will reduce the sound output and warning effectiveness of the
siren system. Before mounting speakers behind the grille, make sure the vehicle operators are trained
and understand that this type of installation is less effective for warning others.
• Sound propagation and warning effectiveness will be severely reduced if the speaker is not facing
forward. Carefully follow the installation instructions and always install the speaker with the projector
facing forward.
• Do NOT install the speaker(s) or route the speaker wires where they may interfere with the operation
of air bag sensors.
• Installation of two speakers requires wiring speakers in phase.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment, which connects to the vehicle wiring, without
reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Insure that your
installation will not affect vehicle operation and safety functions or circuits. Always check vehicle for
proper operation after installation.
• Do NOT install equipment or route wiring or cord in the deployment path of an air bag.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper air bag deployment.
• Locate the control head so the vehicle, controls, and microphone can be operated safely.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that
could be damaged.
