GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SS651, SS651MT, LCS653, and LCS653-1 Sirens are designed for single 100W speaker
use. They come standard with the amplifier unit as well as a remote control head (switch
panel). The primary operating modes are Wail, Yelp, Standby, Manual, and Horn. Both the
Manual Control and the Horn function will override all other functions, and can be utilized at
any time via a rocker switch. The Phaser function can be optionally disabled entirely with a
program jumper.

The SS651, SS651MT, LCS653, and LCS653-1 units are designed to allow maximum
versatility in mounting. The control head is remote from the siren amplifier box creating a
compact user interface panel that can be easily mounted under the dashboard. The amplifier
box can then be mounted remotely in the trunk, under the dashboard, under the seat, or
wherever convenient. The SS651MT offers a waterproof switch assembly for motorcycle
and marine applications.

The siren amplifier has been designed with several protection features to provide exceptional
field service. Excessively high voltage detection will disable the siren output to protect both
the amplifier and the speaker. Fused inputs provide safety against reverse polarity. Speaker
protection shuts down the output if the speaker output becomes electrically shorted.
CAUTION: These protection features will not guard against overloading the outputs.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

Proper installation of the unit is essential for years of safe, reliable operation.

Please read all instructions before installing the unit. Failure to follow these
instructions can cause serious damage to the unit or vehicle and may void
warranties.

Qualifications - The installer must have a firm knowledge of basic electricity,

vehicle electrical systems, and emergency equipment.

Keep these instructions in the vehicle or other safe place for future reference.
Advise the vehicle operator of the location.

INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTIONS

The SS651, SS651MT, LCS653, and LCS653-1 have Phaser Tone Disable and Two­Tone Enable options that can be selected during installation. An internal jumper
on the printed circuit board inside the amplifier case allows the installer to select
these options. These options should be set before installation of the unit.

Phaser Tone Disable – The Phaser function can be completely disabled by
moving one of the option jumpers inside the amplifier unit from "Extra" position
to the "TD" (Tone Disable) position. When Phaser is disabled, the Manual button
(MAN or Phaser) will not have any effect on the tone while the siren is in the Yelp
mode (in WAIL, it will still change the tone to YELP).

Two-Tone Enable - The Two-Tone function can be enabled by moving one of
the option jumpers inside the amplifier unit from "Extra" to the "Two-Tone"
position. When Two-Tone is enabled, a European Two-Tone (HI-LO) sound
will replace the Phaser sound when the MAN or Phaser button is pressed while
the siren is in the Yelp mode. (The tone will toggle between Yelp and Two­Tone each time the MAN or Phaser button is pressed).

If you would like to disable the Phaser or enable Two-Tone, proceed with
Amplifier Cover Removal below. If you do not need to set these options,
proceed to the MOUNTING section on the next page.

Amplifier Cover Removal

Remove the four Philips head screws
located on the side of the amplifier unit.

DO NOT REMOVE THE TWO
RECESSED SCREWS ON THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE AMPLIFIER.

Carefully lift the cover off of the base.

Once the cover is removed, you may
move the necessary jumpers over from
the “Extra” pins.

please observe the following safety precautions. Failure to follow all safety

precautions and instructions may result in property damage, injury or
death.

AMPLIFIER

The SS651-AMP (used in the SS651, SS651MT, LCS653, and LCS653-1) should be
mounted in a location such as the firewall, under the seat, in the trunk, or in the
saddlebag. DO NOT mount the amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area
that would be allowed direct exposure to weather elements. Choose a mounting
location away from any air bag deployment areas. Assure adequate ventilation to
prevent overheating.

The amplifier unit is provided with four mounting flanges with 1/4" holes. Using
the amplifier unit itself as a template, mark the location of the four mounting holes
to be drilled. Be sure to check for obstructions behind the mounting hole
locations. Drill the four mounting holes and secure the amplifier using appropriate
hardware (not supplied).

MOTORCYCLE/MARINE INSTALLATIONS (SS651MT ONLY!)
This SS651-AMP can be used on a motorcycle or for marine applications by

sealing the case with silicone sealant along the mating edges and around the
wire connector. In order to reduce water entry, the amplifier should be oriented
with the wire connector faced down. Only the waterproof switch assembly
found in the SS651MT (SS651MT-CH) should be used for wet location
operation.

DO NOT mount in air bag deployment area.

Devices should be mounted only in locations listed in
SAE standard J1849.
Controls should be placed within convenient reach of

the driver.
Assure clearances before drilling in vehicle.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WIRE SIZE AND TERMINATION

When running your wires and making your connections, please adhere to the following

guidelines:

- The wiring diagrams on pages 10-12

show the minimum wire size used for each

connection. If the wire is longer than 10 ft. we recommend the use of the next
larger wire size.

- If using your own connectors, use only high quality crimp connectors.

- Make sure all connections are tight.

- Route wiring to prevent wear, overheating, and interference with air bag
deployment.

- Use grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls.

- Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.

- Ground connections should only be made to substantial chassis components,
preferably directly to the negative of the vehicle battery.

- Install and check all wiring before connection to the vehicle battery.

AMPLIFIER

All of the necessary electrical connections to the amplifier are made through a
connector located on the back of the amplifier case.

Enclosed with your siren, you should also find a wiring harness. The SWH-28
wiring harness is used in the SS651 LCS653, and LCS653-1. The SWH-36 comes
with the SS651MT. They come with a 12-port connector using nine different
colored leads.

You should make all electrical connections to the wiring harness before installing the
connector on the SS651-AMP. If the amplifier ever needs service, the connector can
be easily removed from the amp without unwiring it.

CONNECTION OF WIRES FROM THE AMP

The wiring diagrams on pages 8-12 show the specific details of how to connect the
wiring harness from the amplifier and the different control heads, to each other and
to the vehicle.

RED LEAD (PIN #1) – Used for Power

Connect the red wire from the amplifier to +12 VDC. It is strongly
recommended that you connect to an ignition switched +12 VDC source . A
power relay may also be used. Be sure to use a minimum size #16 AWG wire.
The power supply of the unit must be capable of delivering peak currents up to
50 amps for adequate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The unit is
internally fused.

BLACK LEAD (PIN #2) - Ground

Connect the black wire from the amplifier to the negative side of the battery or
to a good chassis ground. Be sure to use minimum size #16 AWG.

ORANGE LEAD (PIN #3) - Used for HORN control

SS651: Connect the Orange lead to terminal 1a (MAN) of SW2
LCS653/LCS653-1: Connect the Orange lead to terminal 1a of SW4.

For the SS651, SS651MT, LCS653, and LCS653-1: on vehicles with ground­side (negative) switched horns, also connect the Orange wire to the wire
between the horn switch on the vehicle and the horn itself (see wiring
diagrams). Be sure to use a minimum size #18 AWG. The HORN button on
your control head and the horn switch on your vehicle will act identically.
Either one will activate both the vehicle horn and the siren horn at the same
time. For the SS651MT, there is no HORN button on the control head. On
motorcycles with ground-side switched horns, pressing the horn button on the
motorcycle will activate both the motorcycle horn and the siren horn.

YELLOW LEAD (PIN #6) - Used for MANUAL control

SS651: Connect the Yellow lead to terminal 1b (HORN) of SW2
LCS653/LCS653-1: Connect the Yellow lead to terminal 1b of SW4.
SS651MT: Connect the Yellow lead from the amp to the Yellow

lead from the control head.

Be sure to use a minimum size #18 AWG wire.

BROWN LEADS (PINS #7 and #12) - Used for siren output

Connect one Brown lead to each terminal or lead of the siren speaker. Be sure
to use a minimum size #16 AWG wire.

GRAY LEAD (PIN #9) - Used for WAIL control
SS651: Connect the Gray lead to terminal 1a of SW1 (next to

YELP label)

LCS653/LCS653-1: Connect the Gray lead to terminal 1a of SW3 (next to

YELP label)

SS651MT: Connect the Gray lead from the amp to the Gray wire

from the SS651MT switch panel.

Be sure to use minimum size #18 AWG wire.

-8-

(Electrical Connections CONT’D)

BLUE LEAD (PIN #11) - Used for YELP control

SS651: Connect the Blue lead to terminal 1b of SW1 (next to

WAIL label)

LCS653/LCS653-1: Connect the Blue lead to terminal 1b of SW3 (next to

WAIL label)

SS651MT: Connect it to the Blue wire from the SS651MT switch

panel.

Be sure to use minimum size #18 AWG wire.

Optional Connections:

GREEN LEAD (PIN #10) - Used for remote or auxiliary HORN control

This wire is used in vehicles with a positive-side switched horn to synchronize
the vehicle horn and the siren horn (similar to the Orange wire on vehicles with
negative [ground- side] switched horns).

Connect the Green wire to the +12 VDC switched horn ring circuit. Both the
vehicle horn and the siren horn will be activated when the horn in the vehicle is
pressed. When the HORN button on the control head is pressed (SS651 and
LCS653 only), only the siren horn will sound.

NOTE: If you are not using this lead, cut it short &

insulate it with electrical tape.

CONNECTION OF CONTROL HEADS

SS651MT-CH

The SS651MT-CH control head comes with 8’ leads. They will be connected to the
appropriate wires from the SWH-36 or lights by soldering or using appropriate
connectors (user supplied) and/or additional wire when necessary. Refer to the
diagram below.

SS651-CH (for SS651), SS651-CH3 (for LCS653-1), and
SS651-CH4 (for LCS653)

• Electrical power connections to the SS651-CH control head are made using the

1/4" quick connect terminals provided.

• After your wires are run from the location of the siren amp to the location of

the control head, crimp the enclosed terminals on to the ends of the wires and
plug them into the appropriate terminals on the back of the control head.

Testing - Test all siren functions after installation to assure proper operation.

Test vehicle operation to assure no damage to vehicle.

OPERATION

These units are designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high­speed pursuit. Most siren functions are accessible with one simple motion without
repetitive activation of switches or automatic timed switching that can interfere with
desired operation.

SELECTOR SWITCHES

There are three different control heads (switch panels) that work in conjunction with
the SS651-AMP siren amplifier. The SS651-CH is used for the SS651 Siren. The
SS651MT-CH is used for the SS651MT Siren. The SS651-CH3 is used in the
LCS653-1 Siren. The SS651-CH4 is used in the LCS653 Siren.

All three switch panels will contain a three-position switch labeled WAIL/YELP.
This switch will control the primary operating function of the siren.

Wail - A normal rise-fall tone used on highways and areas with low traffic

or constant traffic flow.

Center Off – (Manual/Standby) –

A silent/standby mode that allows momentary push-button Manual
(MAN) or Phaser and momentary push-button Horn. The siren
output winds down when the Manual momentary switch is released.

Yelp - A rapid warble tone used in light to moderately congested areas.

MAN (SS651 , LCS653, and LCS653-1) or PHASER (SS651MT) Button

With the Wail/Yelp switch in the Center Off (Manual/Standby) position, the MAN,
or PHASER momentary switch provides a manually activated Wail siren tone.

With the Wail/Yelp switch in the Wail or Yelp position, this switch provides a
generally quicker changing tone. A Wail tone will change to Yelp when this button
is pressed and a Yelp tone will change to Phaser. (See the table below).

These quicker tones are used to momentarily alert motorists at intersections and very
highly congested areas.

Pressing the button once changes to the next faster tone. Pressing the MAN or
PHASER button again will toggle the siren back to the original tone.

Optional configuration allows disabling of the Phaser tone entirely. This option is
selected during installation and may be governed by State or Local laws. (Refer to
the INSTALLER SELECTABLE OPTIONS section on page 3).

HORN Button (SS651 LCS653, and LCS653-1 only)

This momentary push-button switch provides a simulated air-horn tone while
pressed. This can be used to either replace, or to supplement the normal vehicle
horn and is useful at intersections or in low noise areas. This tone will override all
other siren tones.
