MOUNTING
Mount the unit in an area where it can be easily accessed by the vehicle operator. Make sure to not mount in an area that would affect the vehicle the air bag.
U-Bracket – Position the U-bracket in the selected mounting location, and drill mounting holes.
Then secure the U-bracket to the vehicle, and the siren to the U-bracket.
Console – The siren can be mounted into the console by using the hardware supplied by console manufacturers. The siren is secured onto the console brackets the same way as the U-bracket.
Microphone Clip – Select a good location for mounting the microphone clip for easy accessibility of the microphone.
WARNING: Do not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle airbag deployment system.

WIRING
Use wires that are capable of handling the required current. Route the wires properly to prevent wear, overheating and interference with air bag deployment. Ensure that all
connections are tight and double check wiring before connecting to the vehicle battery.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical connections to the unit are made by using block plugs and screw terminals located on the rear. Route all wiring to the siren and secure onto block plug terminals, then plug onto the siren. The plug can be easily removed without unwiring when the unit requires servicing. The power supply for the fused amplifier (12-P plug) must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50A for adequate short circuit protection and proper operation. It is recommended to wire directly to the vehicle battery.

WARNING: Ensure that all wires are firmly secured onto the block plug, and plug is firmly secured onto the siren.
Wire Size and Termination – The “AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS” diagram shows the minimum size of the wires used for each connection, along with recommended lead color. If the wire is longer than 10 ft., use the next larger size.
ENA (Enabling) Input Connection – This serves as the power switch for the entire unit. Connect to a positive circuit controlled by the vehicle ignition switch, usually a terminal at the vehicle fuse panel. It is not recommended to make permanent power connection as this may drain battery. The lever switch may also be setup like a power switch, see DIP-SW1-8 (INST_ON) under OPTION SWITCHES section.
HRT (Horn Ring Transfer) Input Connection – This input allows activation by an external source of either the Horn or other function. It can be set for positive or negative switching, see DIP-SW1-1 (HRT_N) under OPTION SWITCHES section.
PKL (Park Kill) Input Connection – This input may be connected to the vehicle door switch or other switching device to turn off any siren tone when activated. It can also turn off the light control by setting the DIP-SW1-3 (PKL_O1) option. Also the siren tone may be set to remain off until a siren control is changed or until the PKL input is deactivated by setting the DIP- SW1-4 (PKL_O2) option; see OPTION SWITCHES Section.
RAD (Radio) Input Connection – Connect to radio output terminals or its speaker. The Radio volume can be adjusted by using the PA Volume control knob on the front panel.
VID (Video) Output Connection – A Video Camera Trigger output is activated with the lever switch or programmed auxiliary switches.

AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS

LIGHT CONTROL CONNECTIONS

Power – The power input for the light controls (the lever switch and the six auxiliary control switches) are separate from the power inputs for siren. This design helps prevent a fault in one main circuit from affecting another main circuit.
Fuses/Breakers – Each light control output is fused and should be limited to 10 Amps. Proper rated circuit breakers should be connected between the power source and light control power inputs.
WARNING: Improper circuit breakers or fuses can result in damage to the unit and/or vehicle.

PROGRAMMING

Once the electrical connections are made and the power is available to the unit, each position of the lever switch and six auxiliary control switches are ready to be programmed. The programming mode is entered by changing the DIP switch. Follow these steps to program the unit:

Get into program mode.

1. Turn unit on with enable input or lever switch.
2. Enter the program mode by turning DIP-SW2-7 (PRG) switch on.

Set Auxiliary Control Switch Operation (Lever Switch in OFF Position)

1. With Lever switch in off position, each auxiliary switch current operation program status is indicated on the face of the unit using colors and flashing. See the table below for switch status definition.
2. Change switch operation by momentarily pushing the switch.

NOTE: The Timed Momentary operation, typically used as a Gun Lock Timer, must begin with switch 6. If switch 6 is programmed as timed momentary, only then switch 5 may be programmed also as a timed momentary and so on.

Each lever switch position 1, 2, or 3 may be programmed to automatically turn on any of the auxiliary switch controls except Timed Momentary (Gun Lock Timer). These auxiliary switch controls may still be operated manually even if they were turned on automatically. Each time the lever switch changes position, the combined auxiliary switch controls are turned on or off. When the lever switch is turned off, the entire auxiliary switch controls tied to a position on the lever switch is turned off while the other  auxiliary switches are unaffected.

Set Lever Switch (Position 1, 2, 3) and Auxiliary Switch Combination

1. Set the lever switch to the desired position to the program.
2. Press the desired auxiliary switch to change LED color to Red. Press the auxiliary switch again to change LED color to Green to remove from combination.
3. Once the switches are programmed as desired, save and exit programming mode by turning DIP-SW2-7 (PRG) switch OFF.

NOTE: If the unit is turned off before the DIP-SW2-7 (PRG) switch is turned off, the new programming will not be saved.

OPTION SWITCHES
