GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SC-1000 Series Siren Amplifier with Light Control is designed for single 100W speaker use.
The SC-1002 and SC-1012 are a console unit and remote unit respectively.
The SC-1022 is a remote hand held unit with pushbutton controls.
SC-1002 / 1012 - The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Standby se-
lected by 3-position rocker switches. Momentary Horn Override, Momentary Phaser Override or
push-on/push-off Phaser operation while in the Mechanical, Wail, and Yelp modes. Manual siren
control of Mechanical, Wail, and Yelp. Lights are controlled with two rocker switches. The SC-

protection systems for maximum service life. An output light indicates siren signal output for
diagnostics and troubleshooting.
