_____ S3 Auto Activate General Description The ST300 series is a premium remote system that combines the siren amplifier, the siren controls, and light controls all in one system. A single slim-line remote control head combines the noise-canceling microphone with a built in siren, as well as many of the switch and light controls for the vehicle. -
Page 4: Installation
Both a PA volume and a Radio volume are provided. The ST300 series has been designed with several protection features to provide exceptional field service. Excessive high or low voltage detection will disable the siren output, protecting both the amplifier and the speaker. -
Page 5: Installer-Selectable Options (Amplifier)
Installer Selectable Options The ST300 has several options that can be selected during installation. Various DIP switches and jumpers on the printed circuit board inside the amplifier case, inside the control head. These options should be set before installation of the unit. - Page 6 (Installer Selectable Options CONT’D) Auxiliary Input Polarity Diagram showing NEG AUX set up Applying a positive voltage to the green wire normally activates the auxiliary function (Air Horn standard/MANUAL function optional).

Using one of the two “U” brackets as a template, mark at least two mounting holes on your mounting surface. 2. Drill the mounting holes in the vehicle taking care to check the backside of the surface you are drilling into.
- Page 13 (Mounting CONT’D) MICROPHONE BRACKET A metal clip is provided for mounting the microphone. Choose a location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Using the mounting clip as a template, mark the two holes to be drilled. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill the two mounting holes.

Page 14: Electrical Connections (Siren Amplifier)
Electrical Connections Wire Size and Termination The wiring diagrams on pages 14 and 17 show the minimum wire size used for each connection, along with recommended lead color. If the wire is longer than 10 ft., use the next larger wire size. Use only high quality crimp connectors. - Page 15 (Electrical Connections CONT’D) The power supply of the siren unit must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50 amps for adequate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred source is directly at the vehicle battery. The unit is internally fused. The wiring diagram on the next page shows detail of how to wire the power connector on the amplifier to the vehicle.
