Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the AIRHORN tone. The AIRHORN tone
will stop when the input is released.

When the rotary switch is in this position

the siren is in standby. No tones will be activated until an action is taken by
the operator.

HF - Hands-Free Operation -

When the rotary knob is in the HF

position, the siren functions are placed in a stand-by mode. Siren tones
are activated by a single “tap” on the MAN button or the vehicle’s steering
wheel horn ring (if the vehicle’s horn has been wired to the HORN RING
input). The first tap produces a “Wail” tone (a steady rise and fall tone). A
second tap produces a “Yelp” tone (a fast rise and fall tone). A third tap
produces a “Piercer™” tone (an extremely fast rise and fall tone). The next
tap returns the siren to a wail tone and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick
successive taps will stop the siren.
With the Rotary Switch in this Position:
Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the HF cycle.

T1 - Tone #1:

When the rotary knob is in the T1 position, a steady, rise

and fall tone (WAIL) is produced.
With the Rotary Switch in this Position:
Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE will change the siren tone to a YELP pattern (a fast rise and
fall tone). Activating the input a second time returns the tone back to
WAIL.

T2 - Tone #2:

When the rotary knob is in the T2 position, a fast, rise and

fall tone (YELP) is produced.
With the Rotary Switch in this Position:
Pressing the MAN button or activating either the HORN RING or AUX
OVERRIDE input will produce the PIERCER tone. Pressing the MAN
button a second time returns it back to YELP.

T3 - Tone #3:

When the rotary knob is in the T3 position, an extremely

fast, rise and fall tone is produced.
With the Rotary Switch in this Position:
Pressing the MAN button or activating the HORN RING or AUX OVER-
RIDE input will result in the AIRHORN tone until the input is released.
