Auxiliary A-H Push-Buttons -As confi gured by the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software, eight on/off Auxiliary push-buttons are readily accessible for
controlling the Auxiliary outputs of the Amplifi er. Each Auxiliary push-button can be custom labeled with the supplied label kit. Each push-button is
backlighted when activated to alert the operator. The default setting is for each Auxiliary push-button to control the corresponding Auxiliary output of
the Amplifi er. Auxiliary A through F supplies power to the load through the connector pins labeled A thru F. Auxiliary G and H supplies power with a
positive or ground voltage to the load through the connector pins labeled G and H. All eight Auxiliary push buttons can be confi gured to be disabled
with the vehicle ignition. Please see the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software User’s Manual for details.
3-Level Switch - The Control Head provides a 3-Level Switch for changing the emergency warning mode. The 3-Level Switch is located in the
top left corner of the control head. When the 3-Level Switch is switched to the far left position, the unit is off. When the 3-Level Switch is in the fi rst
position from the left, the level 1 confi guration of the lights is turned on. When the 3-Level Switch is in the second position from the left, the level 1
& 2 confi guration of lights are turned on. When the 3-Level Switch is in the third position from the left, the level 1, 2, & 3 confi guration of the lights
are turned on. Level 1, 2, & 3 activate the LightAlert. These default settings can be altered using the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software. The 3-Level
Switch may be overridden by other push-buttons. If the push-buttons are programmed to a higher level than the position of the 3-Level Switch, the
push-buttons will take precedence. If the push-buttons are programmed to a lower level than the position of the 3-Level Switch, the 3-Level Switch
will take precedence. The lighting can be set to various levels for the WAIL, YELP, ALT TONE, MANUAL, and AUX push-buttons. Visit these sections
in the confi guration software to set these preferences.
3-Color Status LED - Three LEDs are visible on the Z3 Control Head. When the 3-Level Switch is set to Level 1 the green LED lights. When the
3-Level Switch is set to Level 2 both the green and yellow LEDs light. When the 3-Level Switch is set to Level 3 the green, yellow, and red LEDs
light. These LEDs indicate the level of the siren and controls. These levels are confi gurable in the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software User Manual.
Hands-Free - The Hands-Free mode is directly linked to the Auxiliary push-buttons. By default, the Hands-Free mode is disabled. When an Auxiliary
push-button is confi gured for Hands-Free and that Auxiliary push-button has been turned on, the Hands-Free mode is active, but waiting for an initial
press of the horn ring to activate the WAIL push-button. A second press of the horn ring will activate the YELP push-button. Pressing the horn ring a
third time will activate the ALT TONE push-button. A fourth press of the horn ring will return to the WAIL push-button. This type of scrolling will
continue until the user deactivates the Hands-Free Scroll. Pressing the Auxiliary push-button turns off the tone and deactivates the Hands-Free
Scroll. Pressing and holding the horn ring will turn off the tone, but leave Hands-Free in the active mode. The Remote input and Manual push-button
can also be confi gured for multiple functions during Hands-Free mode. Please refer to Z3 Siren Confi guration Manual for details.
Horn Ring - The Z3 Siren accepts either a positive or a ground signal into the Horn Ring input. The Horn Ring signal is disconnected from the
vehicle and connected to the Horn Ring input. The Horn Relay wire is then run from the Amplifi er to the horn of the vehicle. This allows the Horn Ring
to execute some of the user selectable functions of the Z3 Siren. The Horn Ring can be confi gured to multiple functions in the Siren Active and Siren
Inactive modes of operation. The Horn Ring is set to Scroll in the Hands-Free mode and cannot be changed. Please see the Z3 Siren Confi guration
Software User’s Manual for details.
Horn Ring Transfer - The Horn Ring Transfer allows the Horn Ring to be disabled from the vehicle horn and the controls transferred to control other
siren tones. The Horn Ring Transfer can be set to occur at Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.
Remote - The Z3 Siren accepts either a positive or a ground signal into the Remote Input. The Remote Input is designed to be connected to a user
supplied switch. The Z3 Siren is factory set for a ground signal. The Remote input can be confi gured to multiple functions in the Siren Active, Siren
Inactive and Hands-Free modes of operation. Please refer to the Z3 Siren Confi guration Software User’s Manual for details.
Hit-N-Go - Hit-N-Go only works when a siren tone is active. Once a siren tone is active, Hit-N-Go is activated simply by pressing the vehicle horn
ring or activating the Remote input. It will go to the Override tone for 8 seconds and then return to the primary tone. The actual tone for the Hit-N-Go
depends on which push-button is active. If the WAIL push-button is active then the Hit-N-Go (Override) tone is the Yelp tone. If the YELP push-button
is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Yelp 1 tone and if the ALT TONE push-button is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Lo 1 tone.
These Override tones are user confi gurable in the Confi guration Software. The Z3 Siren can also be confi gured so the MANUAL push-button is
Hit-N-Go activator.

signal to control an external device for additional warning.
Scroll - Scroll only works when a siren tone is active. Once a siren tone is active, Scroll is activated simply by pressing the vehicle horn ring or
activating the Remote input. The Z3 Siren will Scroll from Wail to Yelp to Alt and then back to Wail. Holding the vehicle horn ring for greater than a
half second will cause the Z3 Siren to generate the Air Horn. The siren can also be confi gured so the MANUAL push-button activates Scroll.
