Characteristics
Introduction
This service manual describes the characteristics, specifications, installation,
controls/theory of operation, and service and maintenance of the 2001-AC Motor
Starters and Transformer/Rectifier. The 2001-AC converts 208/220/240 VAC to
nominal 48 VDC and provides relay contactors to switch 48 VDC to external
equipment (such as, a siren).
Figure 1 2001-AC (FC control purchased separately)
Describing the Motor Starter and the Transformer/Rectifier
The 2001-AC consists of two enclosures that you can separately mount for ease of
installation. Refer to Figure 1 2001-AC (FC control purchased separately). The
2001-AC consists for the following:
• NEMA4 enclosure with Motor Starter/Contactors
• Transformer/Rectifier
The Motor Starter/Contactors enclosure switches 48 V power to the siren and rotator
motors from the Transformer/Rectifier power supply. The Transformer/Rectifier
enclosure houses the step-down transformer and rectifier, which provides the 48
VDC for powering the siren.

Characteristics
!
Describing the Signal
You can control the 2001-AC by any timing device with relay or transistor outputs
with a rating of at least 1 Amp, 50 VDC (for example, a FC controller). The signal
output timings that the 2001-AC typically uses are a Steady signal, Wailing signal,
and Fire signal. The Steady signal is frequently used as a Civil Defense Alert signal.
The Wailing signal is often used as a Civil Defense Attack signal. The Fire signal is
often used to summon local firemen. These signals are shown graphically in the
following figure.
Figure 2 Signal Characteristics
Options
Radio Control
You can remotely activate the Motor Starter by a radio signal when an FC Controller
is purchased. Activation by radio control has the advantage that physical control lines
are not required. The FC Controllers are capable of both radio and local push button
control. These controllers are available in UHF and VHF bands. Landline, cellular,
satellite, and IP options are available; contact your local Federal Signal representative
for further information at: 800-548-7229 or 708-534-3400 extension 5822.
2001HR
This option enables the control of both of the siren motors from a single contact
closure. This feature is typically required for telephone line control systems. The
2001HR is a holding relay, which holds the rotator motor on for 15 seconds after the
control contact is released, keeping siren rotation active during Wail signals.
Battery Backup
You can upgrade the 2001-AC to a battery-backed system, which automatically
switches from AC primary operation to DC backup operation in the event of a power
failure.
Contact your local Federal Signal representative for further information on battery
backup systems or contact Federal Signal Customer Care at: 800-548-7229 or
708-534-3400 extension 5822.

user supplied wires. Two 2 AWG wires provide operating power to the siren
motor. If required, an additional 12 AWG wire provides operating power to the
rotator motor.
• Route the interconnecting cable through conduit between the siren and the Motor
Starter Enclosure. There is a three position terminal block (shown in Figure 7
Terminal Block in Rotator Housing) located in the rotator housing of the siren
that accepts stripped wire.
• In the Motor Starter Enclosure, the DC GROUND terminal block TB1, accepts
user supplied 5/16 inch ring terminals and the relays accept user supplied ¼ inch
ring terminals. The Motor Starter coils accept user supplied ¼ inch spade
terminals. These points provide convenient locations for making all electrical
connections.
Connect the siren to the Motor Starters, as follows:
1. After drilling or punching an appropriate sized hole in the enclosure, install a 1
inch user supplied electrical conduit fitting in the bottom of the enclosure and in
the bottom of the siren rotator housing.

Control Unit Connections (Optional)
The siren controller (purchased separately) must provide a contact closure between
each motor starter (K1 and K2) coil and the DC ground, TB1. K2 controls the main
siren motor and can be held on steady or pulsed on and off for various siren sounds.
K1 controls the siren rotator motor and must be held on for the duration of the siren
signal if siren rotation is required.
Connections to the contactor coils of K1 and K2 are made at the C1 positions of each
coil using ¼ inch spade terminals (refer to view A-A in Figure 3 Typical Siren
Installation Drawing).
Federal Signal FC series Controllers are recommended. Refer to the FC Series Siren
Controller Manual part number 255294 for installation instructions.
2001HR (Optional)
If the 2001HR option is purchased, a single contact closure is required to activate the
siren. When terminal 7 on the holding relay, (available at K2-C2) is connected to
ground (TB1), the siren motor and the rotator motor are activated. When the
connection to ground is removed, power to the siren motor is removed and the rotator
motor remains on for fifteen (15) seconds to allow a single contact closure to control
both Steady and Wail type siren functions.
Pre-Operation Checkout
After the 2001-AC has been completely installed, perform the following checks
before putting the siren into service.
The output sound level of a siren is capable of causing severe hearing
discomfort or permanent hearing damage. Therefore, ALWAYS wear
hearing protection and minimize exposure time when performing tests
or maintenance on the siren.
1. Turn off AC power.
2. Visually make sure that all air intakes and sound outlets are not obstructed.
3. Make sure all connections in the Control Unit, Siren, Motor Starter and
Transformer/Rectifier are correct and properly tightened.
4. Turn on AC power.
5. Activate the Wail function. Check for proper rotation and sound of siren. After

techsupport@fedsig.com. For instruction manuals and information on related
products, visit: http://www.alertnotification.net/
Preventive Maintenance
Test the 2001-AC for proper operation at least once a month. A daily test at noon,
curfew, or other selected time is preferred. This not only enhances the usefulness of
the siren, but also instills public confidence in the reliability of the warning system,
and provides additional confirmation of it being prepared for operation in an
emergency.
In order to minimize the possibility of siren failure, annual inspection and
maintenance is desirable. Check all connections and fasteners, tighten if necessary.
This schedule is only a suggested guideline. It may be necessary to vary the schedule
if the siren is used frequently or if it is used in an extreme climate.
