GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The SC-1002/1012 Siren Amplifier with Light Control is designed for single 100W speaker use.  
The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Standby, selected 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 Me-
chanical, Wail, and Yelp. Lights can be controlled with two rocker switches.  The SC-1012 is a 
remote unit wired to a supplied switch panel or user supplied switches. An internal DIP switch 
provides options to change tones, disable tones, HRC2 operation, and Auxiliary input polarity.  
The unit utilizes short circuit, high voltage, and reverse polarity protection systems for maximum 
service life. An output light indicates siren signal output for troubleshooting.
