Installation
Electrical Connections
Install the siren electrical system in compliance with local electrical codes and NEC
recommendations. Federal Signal also recommends that all user-installed conduit
connections enter from the bottom of the cabinet. Disconnect all power and read all
warnings at the beginning of this manual and on the batteries before making
connections.
THE SIREN AND CONTROL UNITS MUST BE SOLIDLY CONNECTED TO AN
EARTH GROUND. If the siren is installed in a building, ground the system to a
metallic object known to be grounded. For pole mount installations, drive a metal rod
or bar at least 8 feet into the ground, as close as practical to the base of the pole. USE
A SEPARATE, CONTINUOUS 6 AWG OR LARGER WIRE FROM THE SIREN
FRAME TO GROUND AND FROM THE CABINET OF EACH SIREN
CONTROL UNIT TO GROUND.
