Standard Features Continued:
Hit-N-Go - Hit-N-Go only works when a siren tone is active and if Dip Switch 7 is Up (ON). Once a siren tone is active, Hit-
N-Go is activated simply by pressing the vehicle horn ring. It will go to the Override tone for 8 seconds and then return to the
primary tone. The actual tone for the Hit-N-Go depends on which position the rotary knob is in. If the WAIL is active then the
Hit-N-Go (Override) tone is the Yelp tone. If the YELP is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Yelp 1 tone and if the ALT
TONE push-button is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Lo 1 tone. The MANUAL push-button is also a Hit-N-Go acti-
vator.
Scroll - Scroll only works when a siren tone is active and Dip Switch 7 is down (OFF). Once a siren tone is active, Scroll is ac-
tivated simply by pressing the vehicle horn ring. The XCEL Siren will Scroll from Wail to Yelp to Alt and then back to Wail, if Dip
Switch 6 is up (ON), the XCEL Siren will Scroll from Waill to Yelp to Alt to OFF and then back to Wail. Holding the vehicle horn
ring for greater than a half second will cause the XCEL Siren to generate the Air Horn.
Park Kill - By default, the Park Kill puts the siren tones in standby and drops out the Level 3B output. Park Kill occurs when the
vehicle is shifted into park. The default for the polarity of the Park Kill input is +12V (Programmable to a GND). Once Park Kill
is activated, the siren tones are in standby. The siren tones will remain in standby until the vehicle is shifted into drive and an
action occurs such as pressing one of the Siren push-buttons, changing the position of the 3-Level Switch, or keying the micro-
phone. The Level 3B and siren tones are in standby during Park Kill and the Auxiliary push-buttons are not affected by the Park
Kill function.
SirenLock - SirenLock is used to allow the XCEL Siren to only generate the tones when in Level 3. When SirenLock is en-
abled, the XCEL Siren is 'Locked' from generating Primary tones until the 3-Level Switch is moved to Level 3. SirenLock does
not affect the MANUAL and AIR HORN push-buttons. The default for SirenLock is disabled and the XCEL Siren will generate
Primary tones when the rotary knob (Wail, Yelp or Alt) is activated regardless of the position of the 3-Level Switch. Siren Lock
is selected via dip switch 4.
LightAlert - LightAlert feature will produce an audible "beep" on a periodic basis if any lighting is activated including Auxiliary
push-buttons. This is intended to alert the operator that lights are on. By default, this is Enabled, if the user wishes to Disable it,
this can be done via entering Programming Mode.
Speaker and Lighting Self Test - The XCEL siren is continuously running a Speaker and Lighting test making sure that there
are no speaker issues (open or short) and checking to see if there are any Open fuses. The XCEL siren faceplate has two
green LEDs below the rotary knob, LT and SP. These are lit at all times unless there is an issue. If there is an issue, the LED
will remain off until the siren has seen the issue fixed. Example: Pressing an Aux push-button that has a blown fuse will turn
off the LT LED, once the fuse has been replaced, pressing the Aux push-button again will allow the siren to check the fuse
and turn back on the LT LED. SP light works in a similary way, if the XCEL siren detects a bad speaker during tone generation
(Primary or Secondary tones), the SP LED will turn off and the siren will try every few seconds to generate tones until it sees a
good speaker again. Once the XCEL siren detects a good speaker, the SP LED will turn back on.
Instant On - There is no "ON/OFF" switch. If the XCEL Siren is properly installed and the vehicle's ignition is switched on,
selecting any siren function or keying the microphone will activate the selected siren function. If the Ignition is off, the user can
still power up the auxiliary switches A - E (Switch F is on its own power source for Gun Locks) and the 3 Level Switch. All siren
tones are deactivated until the XCEL siren detects the ignition is on.
Microphone - Push-To-Talk (PTT) is highest priority and overrides all other siren tones. Pressing the push-button on the micro-
phone will automatically override all siren tones and switch to the public address mode. The microphone is easily plugged into
the Control Head with a modular phone plug. This allows the microphone to be unplugged for easy service or replacement.
Stuck Mic - If the PTT is pressed for 30 seconds , the XCEL Siren will disable the PTT and return to the previous operation.
This will avoid the situation where the PTT is "stuck" in the on position for extended periods. To continue using the PTT, release
the PTT and press it again.
Blown Fuse Indicator - The XCEL Siren will give a visual warning via LEDS above the output connectors if there is no power
being supplied to any 3-Level output or to the Auxiliary A through F outputs when they are turned ON. By default, anytime an
output is turned on, the LED above the ouput at the rear of the siren will turn on as well, if the siren detects a blown fuse, not
only will the LT light turn off on the front of the XCEL siren, the output indicator LED at the rear will turn off as well easily identi-
fying which fuse blew. The fuses can be easily accessed through the top of the XCEL Siren.
