AUXILIARY SWITCH "E" - Supplies power to the load connected to terminal SW E.

AUXILIARY SWITCH "F" - Supplies power to the load connected to terminal SW F.

NOTE: The six auxiliary switches described above have their own individual LED which is dimly illuminated for
back lighting and bright to indicate that the circuit is On. These switches will also activate the LightAlert feature
if it is enabled.

LightAlert - The LightAlert option will produce an audible "beep" on a periodic basis if the Progressive Warning
Light Switch or any of the Auxiliary Switches are on. A switch accessible through the back of the siren control
head allows this feature to be disabled if desired.

SirenLock - The SirenLock option, when not defeated by means of the switches accessible on the rear panel of
the siren amplifier, allows siren tones to be produced only when the Warning Light Switch is in the Lighting
Level 2 (Green and Yellow LED's) or Lighting Level 3 (Green, Yellow, and Red LED's) position. Air Horn, Radio
Rebroadcast, and Public Address are unaffected by this option.
