Wiring Connections
Power (+12VDC) and ground connections are made through several terminal
blocks on the back of the siren.
Ground:
Make your ground connection using an 8 AWG wire. Connect it
to the single terminal located on the left side of the rear of the
siren.
Power:
C12VDC to
ALL THREE
terminals on the right side of
the rear of the unit. Use 8 AWG wires for these connections.
The power supply for this unit must be capable of delivering
peak currents
up to 150 amps
for adequate short circuit protec-
tion and reliable operation (50 amps for the audio functions and
up to 100 amps for the additional devices and/or lights you have
connected to the outputs). The preferred source is directly at the
vehicle battery.
The slide switch, push button switch, and video outputs are all made on a
12-terminal connector (P/N S30041-68). Be sure to use a wire size that is
appropriate for the load each will be carrying (see pages 35-39). Connect
devices that draw a maximum of 20 amps (+12VDC) per output. (
Please
note:
Only 3 amp max for ground-side switched devices).
MAXIMUM
COMBINED OUTPUTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100 AMPS TOTAL!!!
These connectors are designed to handle a MAXIMUM
12 AWG wire. If your device has a larger wire (i.e. 8 or
10 AWG), solder a short (4”) 12 AWG lead onto the end
of the wire so that it can properly fit into the connector.
