SW-1Two-Tone- Turn this switch on to replace Phaser with Two-Tone.

.

SW-2 Mechanical Override - Pressing the Siren push-button normally produces Horn tone while the rotary selector switch is in Mechanical. Turn this switch on to manually override Mechanical tone instead.

Activates Horn Ring Cycler 2 (HRC2) function.

SW-5 Not Used… Leave Off.

HORN RING CYCLER 2 (HRC2) - Turn on DIP SW-3 and SW-4 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.
