Unpacking &
Pre-installation
After unpacking your XCEL Siren, carefully inspect
the unit and associated parts for any damage that
may have been caused in transit. Report any dam-
age to the carrier immediately.
Verify all components have been delivered. The box
should contain the XCEL Siren, microphone, hard-
ware bag, legend set and user manuals bag.
Installation &
Mounting
The XCEL Siren is designed mount directly into the
console of most leading
manufacturers (see Figure 3).
It may also be mounted above the dash, below the
!
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 vis-
ibility. 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 system to manipulate the controls from their normal driv-
ing/riding position without excessive movement away from the seat back or loss of eye contact with the roadway.
WARNING
dash or on the
transmission tunnel using the mounting hardware supplied (see Figure 2).
Also reference page 12 and 13 for description of components and Code 3
part numbers. Ease of operation and convenience to the operator should be
the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls. When
choosing a mounting location the user must consider the deployment area for
the air bag of the vehicle and other factors which might impact the safety of
the vehicle occupants.
NOTE: Setups and adjustments will be made in steps that may require
access to the rear area of the unit. Plan the installation and wiring
accordingly.
