Introduction

The ETSA100E and ETSA300MF Multi Function Siren Amplifier are premium 200W units designed for single or dual 100W speaker use. The sirens comes standard with a noise-cancelling microphone for PA use. The amplifier box contains a single amplifier capable of supplying sound to either 1 - 100 Watt or 2 - 100 Watt speakers. The ETSA300MF also includes a 4 position slide switch and 4 independently controlled accessory switches each capable of supplying 20 amps.

The primary operating modes are Piercer, Yelp, Wail, Hi-Lo, and Super Hi-Lo, Manual, and Radio. A Noise Canceling PA Override, a push-button Horn Override, and a push-button Manual Override are available in all modes. All tones except wail and yelp for California Title 13 compliance may be disabled by removing a jumper located on the PCB.

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 this warning device.

WARNING: Warning devices are strictly

regulated and governed by Federal, State and Municipal ordinances. These devices shall be used ONLY on approved vehicles. It is the sole responsibility of the user of these devices to ensure compliance.
