IMPORTANT! READ WARNINGS BEFORE CONTINUING!
The Howler™ Supplemental Siren was designed for use in high-risk areas
such as an intersection. It is not intended to be, nor should be operated as a
replacement or alternative to the vehicle’s primary siren.
The low-frequency tones of the Howler™ demonstrate significantly different
audio characteristics as compared to those of a traditional higher-
frequency siren. While the low-frequency tones are better able to penetrate
other vehicles, thus alerting drivers to the presence of the responding
emergency vehicle, these tones may also penetrate into the responding
vehicle itself. This could potentially expose the operator to increased noise
levels.
To help eliminate overexposure, the Howler™ siren has been designed with
a built-in timing circuit. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA) (www.osha.gov) provides information necessary to determine safe
exposure times in Noise and Hearing Conservation, Section 1910.95
(Occupational Noise Exposure). Until you have determined the safe
exposure times for your specific application, this siren should be
configured for the minimum operating time and operators should be
required to use an approved hearing protection device. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS RECOMMENDATION COULD CAUSE HEARING LOSS!
