Unpacking & Pre-installation

After unpacking your 3920 siren, carefully inspect the unit and associated parts for any damage that may have occurred
in transit. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.

Installation & Mounting

The 3920 siren is designed to be remotely mounted in a cool dry location such as under a seat or in the trunk. The siren may
not be mounted in any location where it will be exposed to high heat or moisture. The 3920 siren is controlled by either proper
connection to the vehicle Horn Ring switch and/or by use of the optional remote switch panel. Ease of operation and
convenience to the operator should be prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls. Figure 1 shows the switch
panel.

All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to
the device.
Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be the prime consideration when
mounting the siren and controls. Adjust the mounting angle to allow maximum operator
visibility.
Do not mount the Control Head Module in a location that will obstruct the drivers view.
Mount the microphone clip in a convenient location to allow the operator easy access.
Devices should be mounted only in locations that conform to their SAE identification code as
described in SAE Standard J1849. For example, electronics designed for interior mounting
should not be placed underhood, etc.
Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of the driver or if intended for two person
operation the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles, multiple control switches
and/or using methods such as "horn ring transfer" which utilizes the vehicle horn switch to
toggle between siren tones may be necessary for convenient operation from two positions.
*

Convenient reach is defined as the ability of the operator of the siren systems to manipulate

the controls from his normal driving/riding position without excessive movement way from the
seat back or loss of eye contact with the roadway.
