Standard Features:
3-Level Switch - This switch is used for changing the emergency warning mode. When the 3-Level Switch is switched to the
far left position, the unit is off. When the 3-Level Switch is in the first position from the left, the level 1 configuration of the lights
is turned on. When the 3-Level Switch is in the second position from the left, the level 1 & 2 configuration of lights are turned
on. When the 3-Level Switch is in the third position from the left, the level 1, 2, & 3 configuration of the lights are turned on.
Level 1, 2, & 3 activate the LightAlert. These default settings can be altered using the rear facing dip switches as well as enter-
ing programming mode.
WAIL Rotary Knob - This position produces the Wail tone when selected. Operation of this feature is affected by SirenLock,
3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See these sections for details.
YELP Rotary Knob - This position produces the Yelp tone when pressed. Operation of this feature is affected by SirenLock,
3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See these sections for details.
ALT TONE Rotary Knob - This position produces either Hi-Lo or Hyper-Yelp dependent on Dip Switch 12. Operation of this
feature is affected by SirenLock, 3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See these sections for details.
Radio (RRB) - This position operates Radio ReBroadcast over siren speakers. These inputs are transformer coupled to pre-
vent loading of the radio. The audio from the radio is rebroadcast over the siren speakers. The siren tones do not operate when
this is activated. All other control functions operate normally. To connect in the signal to be broadcast, simply connect the two
signal lines to the RRB and RRB inputs of the Amplifier (polarity is not an issue). The RRB feature will automatically shutoff
to protect from overheating of the XCEL Siren. Note: RRB volume cannot be adjusted by the Volume knob, Only by the
Potentiometer on the rear of amp.
MANUAL Push-Button - In its default configuration, this push-button generates the Manual Wail tone. When pressed, the
Manual Wail tone will ramp up to the maximum tone and hold. It will hold as long as the MANUAL push-button is held. When
the MANUAL push-button is released, the tone will ramp down and return to the previous function. This button can work the
Hit-N-Go mode as well. Operation of this feature is affected by SirenLock, 3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See
these sections for details.
AIR HORN Push-Button - In its default configuration, the AIR HORN push-button produces the Air Horn tone as long as it is
pressed. It will override all other siren tones. The AIR HORN push-button will work with Park Kill and SirenLock. Operation of
this feature is affected by Title 13 features.
Auxiliary A-F Push-Buttons - As configured through the programming mode, six on/off Auxiliary push-buttons are read-
ily 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. The default setting is for each Auxil-
iary push-button to control the corresponding Auxiliary output of the Amplifier. Auxiliary A through F supplies power to the load
through the connector pins labeled A thru F.
Hands-Free - The Hands-Free mode is directly linked to Auxiliary push-button E. By default, the Hands-Free mode is disabled.
When Dip Switch 3 is Up (ON), the Auxiliary Push-Button E is then configured for Hands-Free. If Auxiliary Push-Button E is
active, then Hands-Free mode is active, but waiting for an initial press of the horn ring to activate the WAIL. A second press of
the horn ring will activate the YELP. Pressing the horn ring a third time will activate the ALT TONE. A fourth press of the horn
ring will return to the WAIL. This type of scrolling will continue until the user deactivates the Hands-Free Scroll. Pressing the
Auxiliary E turns off the tone and deactivates the Hands-Free Scroll. Pressing and holding the horn ring will turn off the tone,
but leave Hands-Free in the active mode.
Hands-Free Level 3 Lighting - The Hands-Free mode has the option of working directly with Level 3 lighting. If Dip Switch 2
is Up (ON), the above Hands Free feature will also turn on Level 3 lighting. To activate and de-activate this feature, follow the
above instructions under Hands-Free.
Horn Ring - The XCEL Siren accepts either a positive or a ground signal into the Horn Ring input, this is defined in Program-
ming Mode. The Horn Ring signal is disconnected from the vehicle and connected to the Horn Ring input. The Horn Relay wire
is then run from the Amplifier to the horn of the vehicle. This allows the Horn Ring to execute some of the user selectable func-
tions of the XCEL Siren. The Horn Ring can be configured to multiple functions in the Siren Active and Siren Inactive modes of
operation. The Horn Ring is set to Scroll in the Hands-Free mode and cannot be changed.
Horn Ring Transfer - The Horn Ring Transfer allows the Horn Ring to be disabled from the vehicle horn and the controls
transferred to control other siren tones. The Horn Ring Transfer can be set to occur at Level 2 or Level 3.
