Introduction

The ETSA46(x)HPP is a remote mounted siren amplifier designed for a single (ETSA461) or dual (ETSA462) external speaker.

The amplifier box is controlled with a hand held remote containing a noise-cancelling microphone for PA use. The ETSA462 contains a 2 channel amplifier for driving 2 independent sounds. The ETSA461 is a single 100w design. The controller offers 3 multiple programmable levels as well as 8 independently controlled accessory switches.

Notice

Sirens provide an essential function of an effective audio / visual warning system. However, sirens are only short range secondary devices. The use of a siren does not insure that all drivers can or will abide by or react to an emergency warning signal, especially at high rates of speeds or long distances. The operator of the vehicle must never take the right of way for granted and it is the operator’s responsibility to proceed safely.

The effectiveness of this siren system is highly dependant on the correct mounting and wiring. The installer must read and follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and warnings in the manual. The vehicle operator should verify the siren system is securely fastened to the vehicle and properly functioning.

Effective sirens generate loud sound pressure levels that can potentially cause hearing damage. Installers and those around the vehicle need to be aware of the dangers and wear hearing protection whenever the siren system is operating. Vehicle operators and occupants should assess their exposure to siren noise and determine what steps need to be taken to prevent hearing damage.

The siren system is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure they understand and operate the emergency warning devices in compliance with all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations. SoundOff

Signal assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of the siren system.

! WARNING

Do not install this product or route its wires in the air bag deployment area.

Doing so may cause damage to or reduce effectiveness of the air bag, or create projectile that could cause serious injury or death.

To determine air bag deployment area refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual.

Mounting

-Amplifier Installation-

Before drilling holes, check for clearance to prevent damage. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling and the be aware of any vehicle components or other vital parts that may be damaged during drilling.

Install grommets in any wire passage holes.

1.Slide ¼” hex head bolts into siren amplifier t-slots.

2.Place mounting brackets over bolts.

3.Thread ¼” lock nuts onto bolts and tighten down.

4.Use mounting bracket holes to secure amplifier.

5.Install amplifier with clearance from other objects for improved ventilation.

-Holster Installation-

A holster is provided for mounting the hand held remote. Choose a location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Using the back plate as a template, mark the 4 holes to be drilled. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill the mounting holes. Install the 4 #6 screws provided with the bracket.

WIRING:

WARNING! All customer supplied wires connecting to the positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125% of the maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to carry that load.

Ensure the siren amplifier / relay unit is mounted in dry, protected environment.
