MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE SIREN

49-840in.fm Page 13 Thursday, August 19, 1999 10:47 AM

MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE SIREN

Select a location under the vehicle’s hood for the siren. For the best re- sults, the location should meet the fol- lowing conditions.

The mounting location should be solid and have no mechanisms or moving parts on its other side.

For the loudest siren, the siren horn should point down toward the pavement.

The alarm should not point straight up, as moisture could col- lect in the siren horn and damage the system.

To prevent water damage, the system should not be mounted in a wheel well, directly behind the radiator grill, or close to the ground.

Once you select a location, follow these steps to mount the siren.

1.Using the siren’s base as a tem- plate, mark the three mounting hole locations.

2.Drill 1/8-inch holes at each mount- ing location, taking care not to damage anything behind the mounting surface.

3.Secure the siren to the mounting location with two of the supplied mounting screws.

4.Secure the siren’s black wire to a metal part of the vehicle chassis using the third mounting screw. Fully tighten the screw, making sure the wire remains secure.

5.Route the red wire to the main wiring harness. Press the red wire’s connector onto the gray wire’s connector.
