Default Setting Shown

SW-1 and SW-2 ON

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-4Two-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.
