The SC-1000 Series Siren Amplifier with Light Control is designed for single 100W speaker use.
The SC-1002 and SC-1012 are a console unit and remote unit respectively.
The SC-1022 is a remote hand held unit with pushbutton controls.
SC-1002 / 1012 - The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Standby se-
lected 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 Mechanical, Wail, and Yelp. Lights are controlled with two rocker switches. The SC1012 may be controlled with supplied switch panel or user supplied switches.
SC-1022 - The primary operating modes are Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, Phaser, and Standby
selected by four pushbutton switches. Momentary Horn Override pushbutton and Manual siren
pushbutton for control of Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Phaser. Lights are controlled with two
pushbuttons as well.
On all units, an internal DIP switch provides options to change tones, disable tones, HRC2 operation, and Auxiliary input polarity. The units utilize short circuit, high voltage, and reverse polarity
protection systems for maximum service life. An output light indicates siren signal output for
diagnostics and troubleshooting.

tion is toward the left side of the unit.
The default setting is shown here. Switch 1 is on.
SW-1 (AUX_P) Auxiliary Input Polarity - The auxiliary input is normally activated with positive.
Turn switch off for negative activation.
SW-2 (INST_ON) Instant ON - The Enable input wiring is normally required to turn on the unit.
Turning this switch on allows the front panel switches to instantly turn on the unit.
(SC-1002 and SC-1012 only)
SW-3 (T-T) Two-Tone - Turn this switch on to replace Phaser with Two-Tone.
SW-4 (H_I) Horn Inhibit - Turn this switch on to disable Horn tone. Horn will be replaced with
Yelp.
SW-3 and 4 Tone Disable - All siren tones may be disabled except Manual, Wail and Yelp by
turning on both switches. Mechanical will be replaced with Wail. Phaser and Horn will be replaced with Yelp.
SW-5 (HRC) Horn Ring Cycler 2 (HRC2) - While the siren is in standby, the auxiliary input can
cycle through Mechanical, Wail, Yelp, and Phaser tones by repeatedly activating the auxiliary
input. Turn this switch on for HRC2 feature. See OPERATION section for further details.
SW-6 (SM) Short Manual - The Manual siren tone will normally fall and die out when released.
Turn this switch on to have Manual stop immediately.
SW-7 (MECH2) Mechanical Tone 2 - Turn this switch on for a different mechanical tone sound.
SW-8 (FALL) Mechanical Fall - Turn this switch on for a quicker mechanical tone fall time.
