Page 6: Safety Messages
Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be warned are not properly trained about the meaning of siren sounds. Siren users should follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of corrective actions to be taken. Universal Controller (Models UCT-WLN Series) Federal Signal www.fedsig.com... - Page 7 Safety Messages • After installation, service, or maintenance, test the siren system to confirm that it is operating properly. Test the system regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency. • If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer to, the siren system may not provide the intended audible warning, and service personnel may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injuries.
- Page 8 NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. Read and understand the information contained in this manual before attempting to deploy or service the siren. Pay careful attention to notices located on the equipment. Universal Controller (Models UCT-WLN Series) Federal Signal www.fedsig.com...
