Page 6: Important Note To Installation Technicians
An Important Note to the Installation Technicians... The installation of this product requires careful planning and attention to detail! The installation of this system should NOT be attempted by individuals without experience in the disciplines necessary to this procedure (i.e. High-voltage electrical wiring, utility pole installation, etc.). - Page 7 Speaker assemblies consisting of eight (8) or more cells are shipped in two sections. The upper section must be mounted onto the lower section before the completed assembly can be mounted onto the pole. This procedure is best performed with the lower section secured to its shipping pallet.

Page 18: C) Siren Assembly Mounting (5 Or Less Speaker Cells)
IMPORTANT! Before proceeding with the speaker installation, it is necessary for the installer to know the number of speaker cells to be installed on the utility pole. If the speaker assembly to be installed consists of 5 (five) or less speaker cells, the speaker assembly may, at the installers discretion, be mounted onto the utility pole before the pole has been set. -

Page 21: E) Antenna Mounting (Optional)
e) Antenna Mounting (optional)... NOTE: Antenna installation must be in compliance with all FCC regulations. The proper antenna bracket mounting location is determined by several considerations. The antenna bracket should be positioned as high on the utility pole as is possible. However, under no circumstances should the top of the installed antenna mast be any closer than one inch from the bottom of the Pole Top Mounting Bracket (see “Fig. -
Page 22: F) Solar Panel Mounting (Optional)
f) Solar Panel Mounting (optional)... The solar panel must be installed so that it is directly facing the earth’s equator with an unobstructed view. Failure to orient the solar panel in this way will result in significantly reduced charging effectiveness. The most critical aspect of properly mounting the solar panel involves achieving the optimum tilt angle. -

Page 26: A) Siren Connections
Section IV: Wiring a) Siren Connections The type of speaker harness you receive depends on the number of speaker cells present. For systems consisting of 1 to 5 speaker cells, a 5-pair harness cable is provided. This cable has 5 BLACK wires numbered 1 to 5 and 5 RED wires numbered 1 to 5. For systems with 6 to 10 speaker cells, a 10-pair harness cable is used. -

Page 28: B) Ac Wiring
b) AC Wiring An AC Service (Single Phase only) with an acceptable disconnect is required. A 15 amp (minimum) 120 VAC circuit is recommended. Locate the service on the pole according to local codes, taking care that the service entrance will meet height requirements once the pole is set into place. -

Page 33: D) Landline
d) Landline (optional) As an option, the WPS-2900 may be remotely controlled by either landline or RF link. Both methods communicate via DTMF protocol. Remote control may be one-way or two-way. The one-way option simply controls the WPS-2900, while the two-way option controls the WPS-2900 and reports WPS-2900 status back to a central control point. -
Page 34: E) Auxiliary Control/Status
e) Auxiliary Control/Status (optional) The WPS-2900 may be equipped with an optional module that allows the user to remotely control siren functions and to remotely collect siren status information. The following Whelen commands are supported: • Cancel (or Clear) • Whoop •... - Page 35 The local audio path operates a little differently than the other commands. The “Push To Talk” closure must be maintained for the duration of the command, however, the activation will automatically turn off if held active for more than 8 minutes. The input cables may be up to 4,000 feet away, based on at least 26 AWG cable.

Page 37: Fig. 19 Auxiliary Control/Status Board Potentiometer Locations
There are three potentiometers for audio level adjustments on the AUXCS board. Refer to the diagram below for the location of these potentiometers. The potentiometers are factory set for typical signal levels, however, some adjustment may be necessary depending on the actual audio source in the field. The upper most potentiometer has been calibrated at the factory for a minimum clipping level. -
Page 38: F) Paging Interface
f) Paging Interface (optional) The WPS-2900 may be equipped with an optional module that allows the user to broadcast siren tones, digital voice messages or public address through existing in-plant public address systems. The audio output of the Paging Interface Module is a 600 ohm, transformer coupled signal. This output interfaces with most industry standard paging systems. -
Page 39: G) Strobe Control Options Stctrl & Scwps
g) Strobe Control Options STCTRL & SCWPS The WPS-2900 may be equipped with an optional, highly visible external strobe light which upon activation provides a visual indication during siren operation. The STCTRL includes the strobe control board, cable, hardware for mounting the board to the inside of the cabinet and the mating connector. -
Page 40: H) Auxiliary Input Board
h) Auxiliary Input Board The WPS-2900 may be equipped with an optional module that can activate siren functions via an external auxiliary input contact closure. For external controls, the “closure” must be at least 1/2 second in duration. The “closure” must be made to ground. A ground contact is supplied at the terminal strip for this purpose. - Page 41 To activate one of the supported commands, simply make a momentary dry closure between the desired command input and ground. Typically, a relay is used to make a remote connection. When an input is activated by a momentary closure, the siren function will run for the pre-programmed time or until another command is activated.

Page 42: Section V: System Test
Section V: System Test... After the installation of the WPS-2900 station has been completed, a basic system check is recommended to confirm that the system is functioning properly. Before initiating these tests, locate the system LED’s on the main control board mounted to the cabinet door (see “Fig. -
