MOUNTING AND
CONNECTING THE
SIREN
Select a location under the vehicle’s
hood for the siren. For the best re-
sults, the location should meet the fol-
lowing conditions.
• The mounting location should be
solid and have no mechanisms or
moving parts on its other side.
• For the loudest siren, the siren
horn should point down toward
the pavement.
• The alarm should not point
straight up, as moisture could col-
lect in the siren horn and damage
the system.
• To prevent water damage, the
system should not be mounted in
a wheel well, directly behind the
radiator grill, or close to the
ground.
Once you select a location, follow
these steps to mount the siren.
1. Using the siren’s base as a tem-
plate, mark the three mounting
hole locations.
2. Drill 1 /
8
-inch holes at each mount-
ing location, taking care not to
damage anything behind the
mounting surface.
3. Secure the siren to the mounting
location with two of the supplied
mounting screws.
4. Secure the siren’s black wire to a
metal part of the vehicle chassis
using the third mounting screw.
Fully tighten the screw, making
sure the wire remains secure.
5. Route the red wire to the main
wiring harness. Press the red
wire’s connector onto the gray
wire’s connector.
