UV Controller Overview
The UV controller consists of two cabinets, which are bolted to a mounting channel
for ease of installation. The Control Cabinet (NEMA 4) houses a card cage for easy
installation and maintenance of plug-in cards. The card cage has a capacity of tens cards
consisting as follows:
• One controller position (UV+)
• One accessory position for optional audio and relay module card (UVARM)
• Eight amplier positions (UV400)
Each UV400 amplier provides 400 watts to drive any combination of speaker drivers up
to 400 watts. Depending on the number of amplier cards installed, eight power levels
are available from 400 watts to 3200 watts.
Activation codes, command sequences, and operating parameters are uploaded from a
Windows®-based computer through the RS232 port located on the front panel or over
the communication channel with Commander. All information is stored in non-volatile
memory that is immune to power and battery failure.
General Description
Controllers
The ampliers and optional equipment are all modularly constructed for easy removal.
In most instances, eld service is limited to replacing a slide out module; which a non-
technical person can perform with only a screwdriver.
The lower cabinet, which is a vented NEMA 4 style cabinet, houses user-provided
rechargeable batteries. The cabinet houses two or four batteries depending on the number
of ampliers used. The lower and upper cabinets are interconnected by a conduit, which
is sealed to prevent any harmful vapors from entering the control area. The ac charger or
solar (regulator) maintains the charging of the batteries. The batteries provide power to
the Control Cabinet. The batteries continue providing power to the Control Cabinet in the
event of an ac power failure; typically, the standby minimum is seven days.
The UV400 ampliers are ordered separately and quantity is based on the type of speaker
array. Refer to the following tables to determine the quantity of ampliers to order
various siren combinations.

General Description
For Directional Speaker Arrays
Each UV400 amplier is a 400 watt amplier. Therefore, consult the following table to
determine how many ampliers are required to drive Directional Speaker Arrays (DSA)
siren combinations. Use DSA speakers in 400 watt increments with UV400 ampliers.
Table 2 DSA Power Rating Table
ModelTotal Power
DSA2200 W
DSA4400 W
DSA6600 W
DSA Series Sirens
For the DSA Series Sirens, determine the total number of speakers to use with each UV
controller. Each DSA model number is based on the quantity of speakers it contains.
Since each speaker is a 100 watt speaker, determine the quantity of ampliers by using
Table 2 and Table 3.
For example:
If four DSA2 arrays are used with one UV controller:
4 x 200 watt = 800 watt or two UV400 ampliers
When using DSA3 and DSA5, contact Technical Support for information regarding
amplier quantities.
For Modulator Speaker Arrays
The Modulator II speaker array consists of modules that use four 100 watt drivers. It also
provides clear voice communication and offers warning signals that are produced by the
UV controller.

Installation
Installation
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical
connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced
electricians in accordance with national and local electrical codes, acting
under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform
installation.
Explosive gases and corrosive materials may be present. To prevent explosion
or severe personal injury, installation technicians must be experienced with
the safe installation of lead-acid type batteries.
The output level of high-powered speakers is capable of causing permanent
hearing damage. To prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan placement
of siren and post warnings. To prevent excessive exposure to installers and
service personnel, adequate measures must be taken to ensure that the sirens
are not activated while they are within 150 feet of the speaker array or provide
proper ear protection. If the speaker array is roof mounted, post warnings at all
roof access points.
Recommendations on UV Controller Location
First consider the mounting location of the UV controller. You can mount the UV
controller indoors or outdoors. In order to avoid losses in speaker power, install the
speaker array and UV controller without lengthening the 40-foot interconnecting cable
supplied. If it is necessary to make a longer cable run, increase the wire size of the entire
cable to 12 AWG or larger.
Install the UV controller out of the reach of vandals. The Control Cabinet and Battery
Cabinet are both supplied with hasps for padlocking security.
The UV controller requires a 120 Vac or 240 Vac 50 to 60 Hz power source (model
dependent).
You can use several methods to activate the UV controller. Use the manual activation
switches to activate the UV controller locally. Use landline controls through normally
open contact switches. Make connections directly to the backplane motherboard terminal
block. Activate the control through the optional radio receiver or an external 600 ohm
audio source.
The Control and Battery Cabinets are shipped mounted on an aluminum channel with
four mounting holes for 1/2-inch bolts. One 1-1/4 inch hole is a convenient lifting point.
The total weight of the UV controller, not including user-provided batteries, is in the
following table. Insure that the mounting surface and fasteners can safely sustain the
weight of the assembly. Add each UV400 amplier to obtain the total weight.

Flat Surface Mounting
Post notices at all roof access points indicating a roof mounted siren is
installed and a potential of hearing damage exists.
Installation
It may be practical to mount the siren on a at-roofed building, depending
on the location of the speaker array. When installing the siren on a at roof,
always be sure that the loudspeakers clear parapets or other obstructions by
at least ten feet.
Total weight of the UV controller is listed in the Specications section. Make sure that
the mounting surface and mounting method selected can safely sustain the weight of
the assembly and user-provided batteries. In addition, the mounting method used must
be able to withstand external mechanical stresses that may be applied to the assembly
(such as, applicable wind loads for the area). Consult building authorities in your area for
recommendations regarding local ground conditions and wind loads.
To install the UV controller to a at surface, do the following:
1. Install the speaker array on the roof, following the instructions supplied with the
array.

Electrical Connections
Install the siren electrical system in compliance with local electrical codes
and NEC recommendations. Federal Signal also recommends that all userinstalled 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 UV controller 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 system to ground.
NOTE: Seal and protect conduit connections to prevent water entry and corrosion in the
Control Cabinet.
Power Connections
To connect the wires in the Control Cabinet, do the following:
1. Route 1/2 inch conduit (steel preferred) between the user-supplied, fused
disconnect switch and the conduit-tting hole in the bottom right-hand of the
Control Cabinet enclosure. Use weatherproof switches, electrical boxes and
connectors to prevent water entry and corrosion.
2. Route two user-supplied power wires and a ground wire through the conduit that
was just installed between the Control Cabinet and the fuse disconnect box. Use
wires no smaller than 14 AWG.
3. Connect the ground wire to the green and yellow DIN mounted terminal block
or the cabinet ground stud. Verify the appropriate siren model was purchased.
240 Vac models contain a step-down transformer pre-wired to the DIN rail
located on the right side of the Control Cabinet.
4. Connect the two ac power wires to the DIN mounted terminal blocks labeled L1
and L2.
5. Connect the power wires and the lightning protector to the ac disconnect box per
instructions provided with the lightning protector and governing electrical codes.

Speaker Wiring for DSA Series Sirens
DSA speaker arrays range in size from 200 watt to 600 watt. The UV controller may drive
multiple combinations of DSA speakers up to 3200 watt of power. Each UV amplier is
designed to drive an 11 ohm impedance, which corresponds to two series pairs of DSA
speakers wired in parallel (400 watt).
Because you may use any combination of DSA arrays with a UV controller, all possible
wiring diagrams are not shown in this manual. See Appendix B for drawing examples.
The controller’s 400 watt amplier outputs are labeled JP21 through JP28. Position two
on these outputs connects to the solid colored wires from the DSA array. Position one
connects to the corresponding striped wire from the DSA array.

Battery Hookup
When installing or removing batteries, take care to avoid shorting battery
terminals to the metal Battery Cabinet. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury or death. Batteries mis-wired can cause serious personal injury
or death. Read and understand the following information before making actual
connections.
The end user must obtain batteries to install in the lower cabinet(s) as listed in the
Specications section of this manual. To wire batteries, do the following:
1. Remove the accessory kit from the Battery Cabinet.
2. Connect the wires as shown in the appropriate system wiring diagram for the
model of UV purchased. See Appendix C.
3. Apply Battery Terminal Protector spray to battery terminals after wiring to
prevent corrosion.

Yagi Antenna Installation
To prevent electrocution or severe personal injury, install antenna away from
prower lines and install with proper grounding.
Yagi Antenna Pre-Assembly
See Figure 14.
To per-assemble the antenna, do the following:
1. Unpack the antenna and locate the following parts:
• Boom (1-14 inches for 5 element model, 7/8 inch diameter for 3 element
model)
2. Find the proper element dimension chart for your antenna, within the antenna
instructions, and trim each element according to your operating frequency.
Use care to trim equal lengths from each end of each element ensuring that the
mounting hole is at the center.
NOTE A: Proper trimming and adjustment is critical to the Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio (VSWR). (High reected power levels decreases forward power. The
life of the radio and transmit capabilities is dependent upon the VSWR being low
as possible).
NOTE B: If you are using two frequencies, trim the antenna to the transmit
frequency of the unit where the antenna is mounted.
3. Insert the elements into their respective locations through the boom, starting with
R1 (the reective element) in the hole closest to the mounting holes. Then insert
Dr, D1 etc. in that order.
NOTE A: Shortest element is furthest away from the mount and increases in size
as it gets closer to the mount.
NOTE B: Be very careful to line up the holes and not cross thread when securing
the elements in the next step. The bolts must tighten all the way down upon the
lock washers.
4. Secure the elements with the stainless steel 10-32 hex bolts and #10 lockwashers
provided.
38
UltraVoice (UV)

Installation
5. Locate the connector/brass tube assembly in the gamma match parts bag and
insert the assembly rst through the connector bracket, and then thread the
connector into the bracket. Tighten the connector fully. Use a drop of Locktite
or other thread lock in the threads to eliminate the possibility of the connector
loosening.
6. Slide the gamma link onto the driven element and assemble the gamma match as
shown in gure 1 or 2 (under the antenna instructions provided by the antenna
manufacturer). Set dimensions “A” and “B” to those shown in table 1. Setting
the match to the dimensions shown for your antenna is a good starting point that
allows you to quickly line tune later. Complete the assembly by attaching the end
cap onto the end of the gamma tube. The antenna is now ready for nal tuning.
Final VSWR Tuning
To nal tune the antenna, do the following:
1. Before nal installation of the antenna, temporarily set it up in a clear area at least
six feet above the ground.
NOTE A: Do not touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
NOTE B: Ensure antenna is not touching any conductive material and is pointed
away from all objects and people. Pointing antenna at objects in close proximity
may act as a reector and create inaccurate readings.
2. Apply RF power to the antenna at the transmit frequency to be used at that
antenna, and check for the low VSWR while performing each of the following
steps.
A. Loosen the set screw with the Allen key provided and make a slight
adjustment to the aluminum gamma tube for the lowest VSWR (Reected
power).
B. Adjust the gamma link along the driven element for the lowest VSWR.
C. Repeat the above steps until the lowest VSWR is achieved. Reected power
must be less than 10% of the forward power.
D. Return to the dimensions shown in the antenna instructions, if there is any
trouble achieving a good match. If the element dimensions are incorrect for
the frequency being used, low VSWR may be unattainable. If the VSWR
specication is still unattainable, replace the cable (A simple ohm meter
check of the cable does not guarantee that the antenna cable is good, due to
the DMM not having the ability to check the cable at high frequencies). If
that does not take care of the problem, replace the antenna.

See Appendix A UV RTU Field Service Data Sheet. Use this data sheet to test sirens.
Amplier and Speaker Pre-Operation Checkout (Non-Active Mode)
With an ohmmeter measure the speaker terminal strips at the bottom of the backplane
motherboard for each amplier and measure the resistance at the output of that amplier.
The resistance is approximately 4.5 ohm. A different reading indicates a possible
wiring error or faulty driver in the speaker array. Since the 400 watt speaker circuits are
comprised of two sets of series wired speaker drivers connected in parallel, if one of the
drivers in a circuit were to open, you measure approximately 9 ohm. If you are using
200 watt DSA speaker combinations, you measure a 10.8 ohm reading across the 200
watt load.
The output sound level of a siren is capable of causing permanent hearing
damage at short distances; sound levels may exceed 150 dB. Therefore,
always wear adequate hearing protection when performing tests or
maintenance on the siren.
Supply power to the siren to charge the batteries for a period of 24 hours prior to
operation of the siren in order to ensure full charge of the batteries. (Alternatively,
charge the batteries externally before installation following the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations.) Typical battery voltage is 27.2 Vdc when fully charged at room
temperature. (See the Specication section for details.)

Pre-operation Checkout and Testing
Testing Battery Charge
After charging the batteries, test siren operation by doing the following:
1. Disconnect all amplier terminal strip connectors from the bottom of the
backplane motherboard.
2. Press one of the manual activation switches to start one of the pre-programmed
functions. The signal A LED and signal B LED light on the control, indicating that
the tone is being generated from the control module and the amplier power and
output LEDs is lit.
3. Momentarily insert the terminal strip connectors sequentially for each amplier.
You hear the siren tone from the speaker array for the duration of the time that
the connector is installed (amplier output points on the connector read 67 Vac
nominally, this level reads higher when you remove the speakers).
4. Cancel the signal tone or wait for it to time out (typically 3 minutes). You can
insert all of the terminal strip connectors and activate any or all signals for full
volume siren testing.
RMS
Initial Checkout
The siren is now ready to operate as a stand-alone device with control from the front
panel. To remotely control this siren through landline, terminal blocks are located at the
bottom of the backplane motherboard labeled REMOTE ACTIVATION INPUTS (JP14).
A momentary, dry contact closure between COM and any other JP14 terminal activates
the associated function.
The SIG OUTPUT LED indicates that the amplier output signal level is sufcient for
siren signal operation. The audio LED is on when the amplier is transmitting.
Final Testing
Refer to the factory data sheet and unit programming data sheet that were shipped with
the controller.
• If the controller is using two-way communication, calibrate the Quiet Test
function by pressing switches 2 and 3 on the front panel at the same time.
• Test all siren signals at this time by momentarily depressing the appropriate switch
on the control module front panel, or if possible by radio activation. If included,
test the optional radio interface at this time. See the Options section concerning
radio information. Test and verify proper operation of all functions over the radio
system. If two-way radio communication, then check the Central UV controller
base station reports for failures.
• After the installation is complete and the siren is operating properly, padlock the

Maintenance
Service or maintenance should be performed by qualied personnel familiar
with the siren, associated controls, and power sources being used and in
conjunction with the authorities having jurisdiction.
Before servicing or maintaining, ensure that remote activation cannot occur
and disconnect power to the siren and its controls.
The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage
at short distances. Therefore, always wear hearing protection when performing
tests or maintenance on the siren and avoid excessive exposure.
To prevent the siren from sounding, always turn off the power to the siren
at the ac disconnect switch and remove any dc power being supplied by the
Battery Box before inspecting or maintaining the siren.
Maintenance
UV Controller Preventive Maintenance
Test the siren 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 and
veries that it remains ready for use in an emergency, but instills public condence in the
reliability of the warning system.
In order to minimize the possibility siren failure, annual inspection and maintenance is
recommended. Additionally, see the Pre-operation Checkout and Testing section.
General Maintenance
Driver Replacement and Inspection
Each amplier drives four 100-watt speakers. To measure the resistance of a given
speaker set, do the following:
1. With an ohmmeter, measure the outputs on the terminal strip (JP21-JP28) (at the
bottom of the backplane motherboard).
2. Observe the dc resistance of the speakers. Normal dc resistance of a speaker set
of 4 drivers is approximately 4.5 ohm. A dc resistance measurement of less than
3.5 ohm indicates that one or both of the speakers is probably shorted. A reading
of approximately 9 ohm or more indicates that at least one of the speakers in the
set is open; a reading of innity indicates that both speaker sets are open.
3. If a resistance is abnormal, perform resistance checks on each speaker
individually at the speaker array. Refer to the signal connections section for
speaker locations. Each individual driver is 4.5 ohm.
Installation, Operation, and Service Manual

Maintenance
4. To replace a defective driver, remove the 4 hex head 1/4-inch mounting bolts that
are holding the inspection plate. Make sure the at washers and split washers
are not misplaced. Note the color and location of the wires going to the driver.
Remove the driver by turning it counterclockwise. Make sure that the male
threads are lightly greased, and then install the new driver. Reconnect the wires as
previously noted. Reinstall the inspection plate. Repeat resistance check above.
5. Test the siren to verify the driver was properly installed.
Checking the Signal
To check the signal operation, do the following:
1. When checking for proper control module output, unplug the terminal strip
connectors to the speakers (at the bottom of the backplane motherboard) to
eliminate output from the speaker array.
2. Activate each of the signals and observe the signal indicators on the control
module and the ampliers.
3. If desired, you can connect an oscilloscope or digital multi-meter (DMM) to the
amplier module output terminal strip to observe the amplier output. This output
is at least 67 V

RMS
4. Plug all of the amplier terminal strip connectors to enable amplier outputs.
Checking the Battery
To check the battery, do the following:
1. The voltage of a fully charged set of batteries is approximately 27.2 Vdc, and
charger current is less than 2 A. The charger is set for 27.2 +/- 0.1 Vdc at room
temperature.
2. Load test the batteries per the manufacturer’s specications.
3. Some batteries are equipped with a built-in hydrometer. When the hydrometer eye
is green, the battery is charged. If the eye is dark, the battery needs charging. If
the eye is light in color, the battery is low on uid and needs to be inspected for
leaks. Maintain or replace the battery as recommended by its manufacturer; obey
local or state laws governing the disposal of lead-acid batteries.
4. Check the battery terminals for corrosion. Clean and grease connectors and
terminals, if necessary.
48
UltraVoice (UV)
Page 49
Checking the Charger
To check the charger, do the following:
1. Turn off the AC power to the control cabinet.
2. Measure the overall battery voltage between Battery 1 (negative) and Battery 2
(positive). The battery voltage should be 25 to 27 Vdc (nominal).
3. Turn on the AC power to the control cabinet.
4. Measure the overall charger voltage between Battery 1 (negative) and Battery 2
(positive). Ensure the voltage is rising up to 27 Vdc (nominal).

Model UVTR
The UVTR is a transformer/rectier for primary system power with battery back up
and allows the siren to operate from a 210 Vac to 264 Vac power source when ac power
is available. During normal operation, the UVTR maintains a charge to the standby
batteries. During an ac power failure, an automatic switch to battery operation occurs to
maintain the siren’s normal operation. Specify the ac line voltage when ordering.
The UVTR has a 115 Vac tap to provide power to the siren Control Cabinet.
UVTR Mounting Location
Keep wire lengths to a minimum. Mount the transformer assembly as close as possible to
the UV controller.
UVTR Wiring
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical
connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, only experienced
electricians should install this product in accordance with local and National
Electrical Codes.

Preparation
When wiring the Model UVTR to the Control Cabinet, the installer must follow
wiring instructions as in Figure 26 Transformer Rectier Wiring to Control or
damage may occur to Control System and/or batteries.
To wire the UVTR, do the following:
1. Refer to “Figure 9 Typical Siren” on page 32 and “Figure 31 UVTR
Transformer” on page 78.
2. Remove the UVTR transformer from its shipping crate and stand the transformer
on its top to expose the inspection covers located on the bottom side.
3. Remove the four 3/8 inch hex head bolts that secure the inspection covers and
remove the inspection covers from the transformer.
4. From the inside of the transformer, pull the four lines:
210-264 Vac Input
• 1 Common
• 4 (60 Hz) or 5 (50 Hz)
120 Vac Output
• 1 Common
• 2-120 Vac (60 Hz) or 3-120 Vac (50 Hz)
5. Punch or drill the plate, use one ½ inch conduit for ac in and one 1 inch conduit
for 120 V and 24 V out to the controller.
6. Install a 1 inch 45 degree Liquid-Tight connector into the 1 inch opening on the
transformer. Face the connector to the rear of the transformer and tighten the 1
inch lock ring. Put a 1 inch plastic bushing over the exposed thread end on the 1
inch connector.
7. Cut a section of 1 inch Seal-Tight, 7 inches in length. This provides raceway for
the 24 Vdc secondary and for Control Cabinet 120 Vac input.
8. Cut a section of ½ inch Seal-Tight 18 inches in length. This provides A/C input
voltage from the ac disconnect to the transformer. 120 Vac output taps in the
UVTR are used to provide ac voltage to the Control Cabinet. Run the Seal-Tight
between the UVTR and the Control Cabinet.

Radio Control
You can activate the siren by a radio signal when the optional radio receiver is
incorporated into the UV controller. Activation by radio control has the advantage that
control lines are not required between the siren control site and the siren location. A
suitable receiver in the 0 can control voice and tone signals. Federal Signal offers a full
line of radios which cover the VHF bands and UHF bands.
Federal Signal receivers are connected to a sealed female PL259 (SO239) cabinet
mounted bulkhead connector. The antenna cable connection is made to the female PL259
(SO239) connector outside the cabinet. Protect this connection from moisture. Mount the
antenna facing the activating radio antenna per instructions provided with the antenna.
See the Maintenance section for radio adjustment procedure.
Two-Way Sensor Package
The two-way sensor package uses a variety of sensors in the UV controller, which when
equipped with a two-way radio allows the remote units to communicate their status
back to the base station. This reduces station down time by quickly alerting operating
personnel to potential problems at remote units.
Options
The package itself consist of sensors to provide information on the following conditions:
1. AC Power
2. Battery Voltage (built in)
3. Charger Operation (built in)
4. Activation Current (built in)
5. Signal A (built in)
6. Signal B (built in)
7. Quiet Test (ampliers and drivers built in)

Options
Local Quiet Test
The Local Quiet test allows performing Quiet Tests on the siren control and siren speaker
array. Quiet Test uses a 20 kHz tone to quietly test the tone generators, ampliers, and
speaker drivers. To perform this test, program the Quiet Test under one of the activation
codes. If it is one of the rst 7 codes, then you can activate it manually through the
switches on the front panel or with the remote activation inputs. Normally once the Quiet
Test is programmed under one of the activation codes, the code is activated over the radio
channel, the panel switches or with a local laptop computer running SFCDWARE.
Operation
Obtain the results of a Quiet Test remotely using the SS2000+ printout or the
SFCDWARE control and status monitoring software. You can also obtain the status
locally at the siren site with a portable computer running SFCDWARE. The actual
amplier voltage and current are monitored with Quiet Test providing a true indication of
each amplier and load performance.
Perform calibration of the Quiet Test by pressing switches 2 and 3 on the front panel at
the same time. Prior to performing a calibration the speakers must be known good, as per
maintenance section.
Finding Faults
The siren automatically resets when running a Quiet Test. Reset prior to a Quiet Test
is not required. After a test, poll the siren from the SS2000+. The SS2000+ printout
indicates the present siren status.
When using SFCDWARE, the controller automatically updates the Quiet Test status each
time a new Quiet Test is run. Obtain the status from the status detail screen and from the
Reports menu.
Digital Voice Recording
The Digital Voice option adds a unit that is capable of playing up to 1000 minutes of prerecorded messages in any sequence from 250 messages stored in an SD Micro FLASH
memory card that plugs into the controller.
The digital voice messages sound best if recorded at the native sample and bit rate rather
than converting. The sample and bit rates are as follows: 8 kHz sample rate, 8 bit, mono,
with the level set so that the peaks are at or slightly into the limits.
Save these messages with a DV#.wav naming format. Otherwise, the messages are not
recognized. This naming format results in messages DV1.wav through DV250.wav.
Converting les can cause noise.
60
UltraVoice (UV)
Page 61
Converting the les
To convert the les, do the following:
1. Adjust the amplitude to insure that the peaks are at or slightly into the limits. If
converting from 16 bit to 8 bit, insure that dithering is disabled.
2. Activate the Digital Voice system by using the radio receiver or the siren
controller panel switches. To program activation codes with Digital Voice
Messages under them; follow the instructions in the programming software. It
is possible to assign codes to the functions DIG VOICE 1 through DIG VOICE
250. As in all sounding functions, the unit must rst receive the ARM command
followed by one of the DIG VOICE commands to activate the stored message.
The Digital Voice Volume is adjustable through a potentiometer located on the
controller front panel, called DV Gain.
Installation of Other Manufacturers’ Radio Receivers
Improper installation of radio control equipment may cause the siren to
malfunction or operate intermittently. Installation must only be performed by
experienced radio technicians who have thoroughly read this manual.
