Installation & Mounting
The hand-held controller may be mounted in various locations in the vehicle: below the dash, on the tunnel, etc. Ease
of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls.
The amplifier may be mounted at an appropriate location within the vehicle, and the extension cable must be used to
couple the hand-held controller to the amplifier. Caution: Do not plug control head unit into microphone socket on
Amplifier. Use of the extension cable will assure the control head is plugged in correctly.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely
fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device.
Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when
mounting the siren and controls. Adjust the mounting angle to allow maximum operator visibility.
Do not mount the Hand-Held Controller in a location that will obstruct the drivers view. Mount the
Hand-Held Controller mounting base in a convenient location to allow the operator easy access.
Devices should be mounted only in locations that conform to their SAE identification code as
described in SAE Standard J1849. For example, electronics designed for interior mounting
should not be placed under hood, etc. Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of
the driver or if intended for two person operation the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles,
multiple control switches and/or using methods such as "horn ring transfer" which utilizes the
vehicle horn switch to toggle between siren tones may be necessary for convenient operation
from two positions.
*Convenient reach is defined as the ability of the operator of the siren system to manipulate the
controls from their normal driving/riding position without excessive movement away from the seat
back or loss of eye contact with the roadway.
