SIREN LOUDSPEAKER
ETSS100E
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS AND
INSTALLERS OF SOUNDOFF SIGNAL
SIREN/SPEAKER SYSTEMS.
Signaling Limitations:
Sirens/speakers provide an essential function of an
effective audio-visual warning system. However, sirens are
only short range secondary devices. The use of a
siren/speaker system does not insure that all drivers can or
will abide by or react to an emergency warning signal,
especially at high rates of speeds or long distances. The
operator of the vehicle must never take the right of way for
granted and it is the operator’s responsibility to proceed
safely.
The effectiveness of the siren/speaker system is highly
dependant on the correct mounting and wiring. The installer
must read and follow manufacturer’s installation
instructions and warnings in the manual. The vehicle
operator should verify the siren/speaker system is securely
fastened to the vehicle and properly functioning.
Maximum sound output will be severely reduced if any
objects are in front of the speaker. If your installation has
obstructions in front of the speaker, drive even more
cautiously.
Sound Hazards:
Effective siren/speaker systems generate loud sound
pressure levels (120db) that can potentially cause
permanent hearing damage. Installers and those around
the vehicle need to be aware of the dangers and wear
hearing protection whenever the siren system is operating.
Vehicle operators and occupants should asses their
exposure to siren noise and determine what steps need to
be taken to prevent hearing damage. For hearing
conservations guidance, refer to federal, state, or local
recommendations. OSHA Standard 1910.95 offers
guidance on Permissible Noise Exposure”
