DCB, DCFCB and DCFCTB Models
Service and Maintenance
The siren has moving parts, high operating current, explosive gases, corrosive
materials, and high output sound levels which could cause severe personal injury,
electrocution, or death.
Service or maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the
siren, associated controls, and power sources being used.
Before servicing or maintaining, ensure that remote activation cannot occur and
disconnect power to the siren and the associated control equipment.
General Information
The Model 2001-130 Siren and Controllers are designed to require a minimum of
maintenance. In addition, historical experience has shown that all Federal sirens are
highly reliable devices. However, if a siren or controller failure does occur, Federal
Signal will provide technical assistance with problems that cannot be handled
satisfactorily and promptly locally. If replacement parts are needed, refer to the parts
list in Figure 27 DCFCTB Final Assembly, Figure 28 DCB Final Assembly, and
Figure 29 DCFCB Final Assembly on pages 91, 92, and 93.

Preventative Maintenance
To insure that the warning system is fully operational and to maintain the highest
possible level of reliability, perform the following monthly testing and annual
inspection. In order to maintain the integrity of the warning system, prompt
investigation of any reported failures must be researched and corrected promptly.
Monthly Testing
The following is a typical monthly test outline:
1. Reset all sirens to clear latched sensor status inputs (DTMF systems only).
2. Activate one of the siren functions (3 minute activation recommended). If the
2001ACB option is used, test both AC and DC operation.
