Installation Notes

The SS670 Siren Amplifier is a premium 100W unit designed for single 100W speaker

use. The primary operating modes are Phaser, Yelp, Wail, Hands Free, Manual, Alert,

and Radio. A oise Canceling PA Override and push-button Horn Override are

available in all modes. A manual push-button is provided for push-on/push-off tone

toggle operation in the Phaser, Yelp, and Wail modes. It also allows manual siren

control in the Manual or Alert modes. Any siren tone can be re-programmed to a

more desired tone. Another feature allows cycling through Wail, Yelp, Phaser, and

Standby by providing a signal to the horn ring auxiliary wire when the function switch

is in the Hands Free (HF) position. Radio and PA volume controls are provided on

the front panel. The front panel is backlighted with LED's for night visibility. This

compact unit utilizes short circuit, high voltage, low voltage, and reverse polarity

protection systems for maximum service life.

System Reset

◄◄◄◄

If you would like to reset ALL of the siren programming

options to their defaults, activate any tone and press

the Program utton for six (9) seconds. The LED will

flash once, then twice, then three times, and all siren

tones will stop.

Wind Down or Hard Stop Option

By default, the Wail tones indicated by the “†” above will “wind down” when they

are de-activated. If you prefer to have them immediately stop (i.e. hard stop), hold

the Program Button for 3 seconds (until the LED flashes once). This will change it to a

hard stop. Repeat to change back to the wind down option.

(Installer Selectable Options CONT’D)

Optional Tones

Tone Disa le Option

Some municipalities may ban the use of specific tones, such as the Phaser tone. The

Phaser Disable jumper option (found in our previous versions of the SS700) has been

replaced with the Optional Tone Programming feature described on the previous

page. This will allow you to reprogram the PHSR default tone from Phaser to any of

the other tones listed. This new feature expands the former option (that was

previously limited only to disabling the Phaser tone) to the ability to replacing A Y of

the tones that may not be permitted (or desired).

Auxiliary-Manual Function Option

By default, when the siren is in PHSR, YELP, or WAIL modes, and the AUX function is

activated (typically by the steering wheel horn relay), the siren will produce the

standard Air Horn Tone (#1 in the chart above) and temporarily override the siren

tone. If you would rather have the AUX function (i.e. steering wheel horn) mimic the

MA button (see MAN button functions on page 7), then you should program the

AUX function for tone #9 (Manual) or #10 (Mechanical Manual).

Operation

General

This unit is designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high-speed

pursuit. Most siren functions are accessible with one simple motion without repetitive

activation of switches or automatic timed switching that can interfere with desired

operation.

Power

The Power switch is located on in the center of the front panel. While in the OFF

position none of the siren functions will work. The position of this switch does OT

affect the siren backlighting, which remains lit whenever power is applied to

terminal 8 (see pages 2 and 3).

Selector Switch

The rotary selector switch controls the primary operating function of the siren.

PHSR - Ultra-fast changing tone used for maximum attention.

YELP - A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas.

WAIL - A slower changing tone used on highways.

HF - Hands Free - A silent standby mode also known as Horn Ring Cycler.

Allows the user to cycle through the tones programmed for the WAIL,

YELP, PHSR, and OFF by repeatedly pressing the horn or other switch

connected to the AUX input. Changing the rotary knob to any other

mode will resume normal siren operation.

MAN - A silent standby mode that allows push-button Manual, push-button Horn,

and Public Address operation. The siren output winds down when the

MA button is released.

ALERT - A silent standby mode that allows push-button Manual, push-button Horn

and Public Address operation. The siren output terminates immediately

when the MA button is released.

RADIO - Also known as Radio Repeat, this function amplifies a radio speaker input

for re-broadcast outside the vehicle. The PA remains functional, but no

siren tones are available in this position.

(Operation CONT’D)

MAN Button

Rotary Switch

Position Function When MAN Pressed

MAN or HF Produces a rising siren tone while being pressed. The siren

output “winds down” when the MA button is released.

ALERT Also produces a rising tone, but the siren output immediately

stops when the button is released.

PHSR/YELP/WAIL The MA button will “step” the siren up to the tone programmed

for the next function:

(WAILYELPPHSRPhaser Step Up)

These quicker tones are used to momentarily alert motorists at

intersections and very highly congested areas. Pressing the

MA button once changes to the next faster tone. Pressing the

MA button again, reverts the siren back to the original tone.

HORN Button

Pressing the HOR button provides a simulated air-horn tone while pressed. This can

be used to either replace or to supplement the normal vehicle horn and is useful at

intersections. This tone will override all other siren tones. See pages 4-5 for

programming optional Air Horn tones.

The front panel of the SS670 contains two

momentary push-button switches for the Manual

function and the Air Horn.

PA VOL.

The PA knob is located in the upper right hand corner of the

front face. It provides you the ability to adjust the public

address volume. It should be set when the vehicle is parked.

Typically you should set the PA volume to the maximum

possible level with no feedback (squeal).

Radio Volume

The radio repeat volume (Radio) control is recessed in the upper

left hand corner of the front face. This should be set when the

vehicle is parked. First set the volume level of the vehicle's two-

way radio to its normal operating volume. Adjust the siren's

rotary selector switch into the RADIO position. Insert a small, flat

blade screwdriver into the RADIO volume adjustment port. Turn

in a clockwise direction to increase the sound level.

Microphone

The attached microphone is used for public address

operation and overrides any siren tone when its push-

to-talk (button on the side) is pressed.

Auxiliary Input

During installation an auxiliary input may be connected to the vehicle horn ring or

other switching device (see page 3). It provides the same operation as pressing the

HOR button or can be programmed to function like the MA button (see page 5).

panel. This LED will only turn on while a tone is trying

to be generated. It can be used to help identify the

siren/speaker status.

Steady - Speaker is connected and operating properly.

Single Flash - Standby Mode

Double Flash - Short/Over Current

Quad Flash - Improper Voltage (too high or low)

Off - o speaker is connected, or

- The siren is Off, or

- The speaker or wire connection has come loose or is electrically

open

This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst

conditions. Many times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the

true problem is in the speaker(s) or improper installation. The following chart shows

typical symptoms and possible causes.
