GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SA-365 Siren Amplifier is designed for single 100W speaker use. The primary operating
modes are Yelp, Wail and Standby, selected by a 3-position rocker switch. Horn Override, push-
on/push-off Phaser operation in the Yelp and Wail modes, and Manual siren control in the
Standby mode are controlled by a momentary 3-position rocker switch. The unit features instant-
on allowing the unit to produce a tone instantly when a switch is activated. A DIP switch provides
options such as Two-Tone, disable tones, HRC2 operation, Auxiliary function, etc. The unit util-
izes short circuit, high voltage, and reverse polarity protection systems for maximum service life.
An output light indicates siren signal output for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
