OPTION SWITCHES
An internal 8-position DIP switch on the cir-
cuit board may be changed to select various
options. The cover for the unit must be re-
moved to access the DIP switch.
Accessing Option Switches - The cover is
held in place by a snap-fastener on the back
of the unit. Hold the unit with the front case
flange on the edge of a hard surface and
press hard on the back of the unit. The chas-
sis will slide out the front of the cover.
Adjusting Option Switches - the DIP Switch is located on
the internal PCB assembly board toward the right side of
the unit. Switch 1 is toward the back of the unit. Switch
‘ON’ position is toward the inside side of the unit.
SW-1 Cutout Input Polarity - The cutout input is normally activated with positive. Turn this
switch OFF for negative activation.
SW-2 Auxiliary Input Polarity - The auxiliary input is normally activated with positive. Turn this
switch OFF for negative activation.
SW-3 Auxiliary Input Function - The auxiliary input normally activates the Horn function. Turn
this switch ON to activate the Manual function. (Manual push-button)
SW-4 Two-Tone - Turn this switch ON to replace Phaser with Two-Tone.
SW-5 Manual Wail - The Manual push-button normally operates Manual Mechanical in Standby
mode. Turn this switch ON to operate Manual Wail instead.
SW-6 Horn Ring Cycler 2 (HRC2) - Turn ON this switch to enable this feature. Also connect the
auxiliary input to the horn ring or other switch. While the siren is in standby, tap the horn ring to
bring the unit out of standby into Mechanical tone. Repeatedly tapping the horn ring will cycle
through Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Phaser tones. Tapping the horn ring twice quickly will stop
the siren tones and return the unit to standby. Pressing and holding the horn ring will produce
Horn tone until released. Then the siren will return to its previous siren tone or standby.
SW-7 Wail Default - When the rotary selector switch is changed to Yelp -> Phaser -> Wail mode,
the initial tone is Yelp. Turn this switch ON to make the initial tone Wail.
SW-8 Short Manual - The Manual Mechanical or Manual Wail tone normally falls and dies out
when the Manual push-button is released. Turn this switch ON to have the tone stop immediately.
