MOSFET technology. All standard features are available along with many new features that are not available on any other Code 3 siren: Fully Configurable 3-Level Switch, Selectable Tones, Adjustable Backlighting and much more. -
Page 3: Control Head Configurable (In Vehicle)
The following features are standard in the Siren (tones and sequences may differ with user selectable configura- tion): Control Head Configurable (In Vehicle) Adjustable Backlighting - Backlighting is independent of siren status. The dimming of the lit push-buttons can be adjusted as desired. - Page 4 Auxiliary A-H Push-Buttons - As configured by the Siren Configuration Software, eight on/off Auxiliary push-buttons are readily accessible for controlling the Auxiliary outputs of the Amplifier. Each Auxiliary push-button can be custom labeled with the supplied label kit. Each push-button is backlighted when activated to alert the operator.

and holding the Horn Ring for more than a half second will cause the Siren to generate the Air Horn tone. Load Management - The Load Manager allows setup of three Dropout Voltage Groups by selecting which output to drop out when the vehicle power levels fall below the specified voltage for that group. -

(see Fig. 2 above). Also reference page 15 and 16 for description of components and Code 3 part numbers. Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls. -
Page 8: Amplifier Connections
Amplifier Connections All Amplifier connections are made on one side of the Amplifier as seen in figure 4. See wiring diagram on page 13. All Amplifier connections are quick disconnect requiring no tools. Figure 4 Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recom- mended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. -
Page 9: Amplifier Power Distribution
Connection of a 58 watt speaker to the siren amplifier will cause the speaker to burn out, and will void the speaker WARNING warranty! Amplifier Power Distribution The Level 1, 2, 3A and 3B outputs can supply a maximum of 15 Amps each or a combined total of 50 Amps. Each Level has a 20 Amp fuse installed inside the Amplifier. -
