DUAL MODE OPERATION (Dual Mode Switch On)
Sound Hazard - Sound level from siren speaker (>120dBA @ 10 feet) may cause hearing damage.
Do not operate siren without adequate hearing protection for you and anyone in immediate vicinity.
(Ref. OSHA 1910.95 for occupational noise exposure guidelines)
The Toggle Dual Mode Switch gives the amplifier the ability to produce two different siren tones to each
speaker simultaneously. This changes some of the Rotary Function Switch modes and provides different Override
Functions. The Dual Mode Switch may be left on and use the Rotary Manual position as standby mode.
The Rotary Function Switch selects the following modes:
RADIO - Same as normal mode. PA override available in this mode.
TWO-TONE - Or HI-LO, a common European tone. Both speakers produce same sound. Horn and PA
Override available in this mode.
MAN - In dual mode this is also considered standby mode. The siren tone is controlled manually with
SIREN button. Both speakers produce manual tone slightly out of phase to give stereo effect.
PA Override available in this mode.
WAIL - The siren produces dual Wail. Each speaker produces independent Wail tone. Dual Yelp and
PA Override available in this mode.
YELP - The siren produces dual Yelp. Each speaker produces independent Yelp tone. Phaser and
PA Override available in this mode.
WAIL/YELP - The siren produces Wail to one speaker and Yelp to the other speaker. Phaser and PA
Override available in this mode.
OVERRIDE FUNCTIONS (Dual Mode)
PUBLIC ADDRESS
(PA) OVERRIDE - Same as normal mode.
HORN OVERRIDE - Same as normal mode, both speakers produce same Horn tone.
DUAL YELP
OVERRIDE - Available only in Dual Wail mode. By momentarily pressing the SIREN button the tone output
is switched to the Dual Yelp tone. Pressing the button again switches the tone output back to
Dual Wail.
PHASER OVERRIDE - By pressing the SIREN button the siren tone output is replaced by the Phaser tone. Both
speakers produce same Phaser tone. The siren tone resumes when the button is released.
