1. Identify the siren type for which the cable is to be constructed and use
the tables appended to the bottom of this section for connection
information.
2. Determine the length of the cable required and cut cable to length.
(Length of mast + 1 metre + the length of the longest conductor stated
in the siren type table).
3. Cut the protective sheath back to the length of the longest required
conductor specified in the siren type table and remove.
4. Cut the respective conductors to the lengths specified in the siren
type table and remove.
5. If a single cable is being used then loom the conductors as specified
in the siren type table.
6. Crimp the connector plug onto the individual conductors and then
insert the crimped connectors into the connector housings.
Note: When the wires are inserted into the connectors the orientation
of odd or even numbered wires to the left hand or the right hand side
does not matter as long as they are all orientated in the same
manner.
Dependent on the number of horns associated with the siren one or two
cables will be required. The tables below identify specific requirements
based on the siren type.

2. Cut a length of top hat section DIN rail to fit the enclosure and fit
using screws and nuts supplied with the enclosure.
3. Drill holes in enclosure for the attachment of cable glands. The
number and type are as specified in the table below. For a one cable
siren assembly two cable glands will be required in the side face of

4. MAST ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Support the mast during the attachment of the horn units in a
horizontal position approximately 1 metre off the ground by the use of
three suitable load bearing trestles and a support beam. The trestles
are to be deployed in the following manner.
At the base end of the mast position one trestle and at the other end
position the remaining two trestles, one at either side with a support
beam between them on which the mast is supported. This support
beam should be between 500 – 600 mm from the end of the mast.

2. Prepare the mast for the fitting of the cable junction box and
attachment bracket by positioning the bracket at a convenient height
above the base of the mast and carefully marking on the mast the
position of the bracket mounting holes.
Remove the bracket and using a 5.0 mm drill bit, drill the four
mounting holes and then tap with an M6 thread.
Attach the bracket to the mast using four M6 x 15mm bolts and then
attach the junction box to the bracket using two M6 x 15mm bolts and
associated nuts and washers.

3. Pass the previously prepared multi-core horn driver cable(s) through
the inside of the mast. The end of the cable with the connectors to be
connected to the siren horn drivers to exit the mast at the top.
4. Identify the multi-core cables if more than one by the use of either a
red or blue identification marker or tape applied to the outer sheath at
both ends of the cables.
5. Attach the cabling restraint bracket to the cable(s) at the top of the
mast at a point approximately 15mm below from where the outer
sheaths of the cable(s) are terminated.

6. Pull the cable(s) from down from the bottom of the mast until the
cable support bracket seats neatly in the mast.
7. Temporarily tape the made off ends of the siren driver cables down
their respective sides of the mast, roughly in the position they would
be when the assembly is complete.

8. Secure the first horn or pair of horns to the top of the mast using four
M10 bolts and associated nuts, spring and plain washers, (facing in
opposite directions for omni-directional use and facing in the same
direction for uni-directional use), remembering also to attach the mast
cover mounting brackets at the same time. (These mounting brackets
are held in place by the top two horn assembly to mast fixing bolts).
When secured in position thread the appropriate driver wires and
associated connectors into the horn assemblies via the holes
provided in the horn assembly flanges.
Note: Omni-directional horn assembly depicted in the picture above.

9. Repeat the process of adding horn assemblies down the mast by
initially securing the horn assemblies loosely around the mast before
inserting the U-shaped cable protection covers between the horn
assemblies. Then using a mallet gently tap the loosely attached siren
assembly pairs into position and align with previously fitted horn
assembly prior to securing firmly.
Recheck the horn alignment when the assembly is securely
positioned and if necessary adjust securing bolts to attain the correct
alignment.
Note: Ensure the cabling does not become pinched by the horn
assembly flanges or cable covers.

10. Secure the mast top cover to the brackets on the uppermost horn
assembly using four M8 x 15mm bolts and washers.

11. Carefully screw the sounder driver units into the horn assemblies
ensuring that at least one O ring rubber sealing gasket is used,
against which the driver is firmly hand tightened. When tightened the
driver water drainage hole must be positioned in the vertical plane
towards the base of the mast. (If this is not possible with the gasket
used, then change the gasket for either a thicker or thinner one.
1.5mm or 3.0mm).

12. Attach the driver cable connectors to the driver connectors and then
carefully position the connectors under the driver. When this is done
secure the driver covers to the horn assemblies using four M4 x
30mm Allen key bolts.
13. Identify which horns are connected to which cable by the use of either
a red or blue identification marker as appropriate applied to the outer
case of each horn driver cover.

14. At the base of the mast feed the cable(s) that are exiting at the base
through the holes in the sides of the mast approximately 100mm
above the base.
15. Feed the cable(s) into the cable junction through an appropriate
gland, cut to size and inserting into the feed through connectors
contained in the junction box.
Remember to keep the cable identification marking.

6. HORN ASSEMBLY TESTING
Using a multi-meter measure the resistance between each pair of horn driver
conductors at the cable junction box and between each conductor and the
mast metalwork to ensure there are no cable breaks or trapped conductors.
The resistance measured between conductors should be in the region of 4.8
to 5.2 ohms and there should be no connection between the conductors and
the siren metalwork.

Typical base construction for a 12 metre support mast with siren horn mast
array mounted on top would be a concrete base of 2.1 x 1.5 x 0.8 metre
deep construction reinforced at the bottom with a layer of A393 mesh.
Note: The base construction suggested is only typical and each installation
will be required to be evaluated by the installer taking into consideration the
