PKILL- If this switch (sw 4) is in the on postition, lighting level-3 will "drop-out" when vehicle is shifted
to PARK. This is intended to reduce power consumption while vehicle is not moving. If it is not
desired to have level 3 "drop-out" this switch should be set to the " OFF " position on the dip switch.
Please note that DIP switch 1 is not used.
2-Position DIP Switch (located on the control head, rear panel)
Gently set the LightAlert, and Timed Output setup switches
to the desired position using the point of a ball point pin or
some other similar tool. These switches are present on all
m o d e l s .
LightAlert - LightAlert is intended to alert the operator with an
audibe tone, when any lighting switch is activated. When this
switch is in the OFF position, the LightAlert tone is disabled.
Timed Output - Output "C" may be configured as a timed
output, providing a ten second, timed output for applications
such as electric gunlock. The SPDT relay allows an additional
level of security to
be added by connecting this output through the vehicle's
ignition circuit thereby requiring that the ignition be on in order
for the output to be activated. When this switch is in the OFF
position, output "C" becomes a latched output and may be toggled ON/OFF like switches A, B, D, E
& F.
Initial Siren Mode
WAIL/YELP - A three pin jumper located on the rear panel of the Push-Button version of the RLS
Control Head allows the siren may be configured to automatically start the siren in either
WAIL or YELP
mode when the 3-level lighting switch is moved to a position higher than the selected SirenLock level.
Inserting the jumper across the left two pins will cause the Initial Siren Mode (ISM) to be WAIL.
Similarly, moving the jumper to the right two pins will select YELP mode. If no siren tone is desired
the jumper should be moved to a position which only covers one of the pins. In this position, the
siren tones may still be activated by the front panel switches or the vehicle's horn switch but will not
be automatically started when the position of the 3-level lighting control switch is changed.
Note that this jumper is not used on the 399xR control heads. For systems equipped with the
399xR Rotary Switch version of the RLS Control Head, the initial siren tone is selected by the
position of the front panel rotary control switch.
Hit-N-Go / Scroll Selector Switch (located on the siren amplifier, rear panel)
The siren has two distinct modes, Hit-N-Go and Scroll. Set rear panel slide switch, Figure 3, to the
desired mode by sliding left or right. See operation section for a detailed description of operation in
each mode.
Custom Labeling
Labels supplied with the RLS series siren should be selected and placed in the appropriate windows.
Refer to Figure 1for the RLS Control Head switch A-F window designations.
WARNING!
!
"Wail" and "Yelp" tones are in some cases (such as in the state of California) the only recognized
siren tones for calling for the right of way. Ancillary tones such as "Air Horn", "Hi-Lo", "Hyperyelp",
and "Hyperlo" in some cases do not provide as high a sound pressure level. It is recommended that
these tones beused in a secondary mode to alert motorists to the presence of an emergency vehicle.
