Use the crane to hold the Control Unit/Battery Box assembly against the pole. Using the four 5/8" holes in the channel as a template, locate four hole locations on the pole. Drill a 3/8" hole at each of the four locations. Drill each hole at least 3-1/2" (90mm.) deep. - Page 13 Siren Connections. The 2001DC wiring diagram is shown in figures 3-3. All interconnections between the siren and Control Unit are accomplished using three wires. Two user provided 2 AWG wires provide operating power to the siren motor. An additional 12 AWG wire provides operating power to the rotator motor.
- Page 14 Connections. As shipped from the factory, the battery charger in the Control Unit is configured for 120VAC operation (see section 5-2 for operation at 208/220/240 VAC). Route 1" conduit (steel preferred) between a user-supplied fused disconnect switch and the user-supplied conduit fitting in the bottom of the Control Unit cabinet. Route two user-supplied wires through the conduit that was just installed between the Control Unit and the fused disconnect switch.
