CHAPTER 5
Mounting the Siren and Control Head
The next step in the installation after wiring and connecting the SSP3000B/SSP2000B system is to
permanently mount the siren amplifier/relay module and control head in the vehicle. Verify that the
mounting locations you selected earlier are safe for installing these components. Before proceeding,
review the following precautions before mounting the equipment.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT—Do not install equipment or route wiring in the
deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this warning will reduce the
effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury or death.
SEAT REMOVAL PRECAUTION—If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify
with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper
airbag deployment.
UNIT REQUIRES AIR FLOW (SSP3000B ONLY)—The siren amplifier/relay module
is cooled by an internal fan. Do not install it in areas where the air flow is
restricted. Do not mount the unit near a heater duct or under the hood.
UNIT IS NOT WATERPROOF—The housing of the siren amplifier/relay module
is NOT waterproof. The module must be mounted in a location that is sheltered
from falling rain, snow, standing water, etc.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS—When drilling holes, check the area you are drilling
into to be sure you do not damage vehicle components while drilling. All drilled
holes should be de-burred and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire
routings going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or
convolute/split loom tubing.
Mounting the Siren Amplifier/Relay Module
Installer-supplied #10-32 mounting hardware is required to mount the siren amplifier/relay module.
Tools needed:
• #18 tap drill for steel and iron
• Phillips screwdriver
• Pencil or felt-tip pen for marking drill locations
