SIREN CONTROLS
MECH, WAIL, YELP, AND PHSR PUSHBUTTON SWITCHES
Four pushbutton switches control the primary operating mode of the siren.
The primary operating modes are:
Standby - A silent mode that may be overridden at any time.
Mech - A simulated mechanical siren tone. Tone may be changed or disabled. See
OPTION SWITCHES section.
Wail - A slower changing tone used on highways.
Yelp - A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas.
Phaser - A very rapid changing tone used at intersections and very highly congested
areas. May be optionally replaced with Two-Tone or disabled. Two-Tone is two
alternating frequencies like a European HI-LO. See OPTION SWITCHES section.
Momentarily press button to activate (lit red). Momentarily press button again to de-activate. Also
while a particular mode is activated, switch to a different mode by pressing one of the other three
buttons. The unit is in Standby when NONE of the four buttons are activated (NOT lit red). For
example starting with all four buttons off, press the Wail button to turn on Wail. Now press the
Yelp button to change to Yelp. Press the Yelp button again to turn off sound (return to Standby).
When Mechanical or Wail is turned off the tone will die out. Turn on Short Manual option to stop
tone immediately. See OPTION SWITCHES section.
