Standard Features- Cont:

ALT TONE Rotary Knob - This position produces either Hi-Lo or Hyper-Yelp dependent on Dip Switch 12. Operation of this

feature is affected by SirenLock, 3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See these sections for details.

Radio (RRB) - This position operates Radio ReBroadcast over siren speakers. These inputs are transformer coupled to prevent loading of the radio.

The audio from the radio is rebroadcast over the siren speakers. The siren tones do not operate when this is activated. All other control functions

operate normally. To connect in the signal to be broadcast, simply connect the two signal lines to the RRB and RRB inputs of the Amplier (polarity is

not an issue). The RRB feature will automatically shutoff to protect from overheating of the XCEL Siren.

MANUAL Push-Button - In its default conguration, this push-button generates the Manual Wail tone. When pressed, the Manual Wail tone will

ramp up to the maximum tone and hold. It will hold as long as the MANUAL push-button is held. When the MANUAL push-button is released, the

tone will ramp down and return to the previous function. This button can work the Hit-N-Go mode as well. Operation of this feature is affected by

SirenLock, 3-Level Switch, Park Kill, and Title 13 features. See these sections for details.

AIR HORN Push-Button - In its default conguration, the AIR HORN push-button produces the Air Horn tone as long as it is pressed. It will

override all other siren tones. The AIR HORN push-button will work with Park Kill and SirenLock. Operation of this feature is affected by Title 13

features.

Auxiliary A-F Push-Buttons -As congured through the programming mode, six on/off Auxiliary push-buttons are readily accessible for controlling

the Auxiliary outputs of the Amplier. Each Auxiliary push-button can be custom labeled with the supplied label kit. Each push-button is backlighted

when activated to alert the operator. The default setting is for each Auxiliary push-button to control the corresponding Auxiliary output of the Amplier.

Auxiliary A through F supplies power to the load through the connector pins labeled A thru F.

Hands-Free - The Hands-Free mode is directly linked to Auxiliary push-button E. By default, the Hands-Free mode is disabled. When Dip Switch 3

is Up (ON), the Auxiliary Push-Button E is then congured for Hands-Free. If Auxiliary Push-Button E is active, then Hands-Free mode is active, but

waiting for an initial press of the horn ring to activate the WAIL. A second press of the horn ring will activate the YELP. Pressing the horn ring a third

time will activate the ALT TONE. A fourth press of the horn ring will return to the WAIL. This type of scrolling will continue until the user deactivates

the Hands-Free Scroll. Pressing the Auxiliary E turns off the tone and deactivates the Hands-Free Scroll. Pressing and holding the horn ring will turn

off the tone, but leave Hands-Free in the active mode.

Hands-Free Level 3 Lighting - The Hands-Free mode has the option of working directly with Level 3 lighting. If Dip Switch 2 is Up (ON), the above

Hands Free feature will also turn on Level 3 lighting. To activate and de-activate this feature, follow the above instructions under Hands-Free.

Horn Ring - The XCEL Siren accepts either a positive or a ground signal into the Horn Ring input, this is dened in Programming Mode. The Horn

Ring signal is disconnected from the vehicle and connected to the Horn Ring input. The Horn Relay wire is then run from the Amplier to the horn

of the vehicle. This allows the Horn Ring to execute some of the user selectable functions of the XCEL Siren. The Horn Ring can be congured to

multiple functions in the Siren Active and Siren Inactive modes of operation. The Horn Ring is set to Scroll in the Hands-Free mode and cannot be

changed.

Horn Ring Transfer - The Horn Ring Transfer allows the Horn Ring to be disabled from the vehicle horn and the controls transferred to control other

siren tones. The Horn Ring Transfer can be set to occur at Level 2 or Level 3.

Hit-N-Go - Hit-N-Go only works when a siren tone is active and if Dip Switch 7 is Up (ON). Once a siren tone is active, Hit-N-Go is activated simply

by pressing the vehicle horn ring. It will go to the Override tone for 8 seconds and then return to the primary tone. The actual tone for the Hit-N-Go

depends on which position the rotary knob is in. If the WAIL is active then the Hit-N-Go (Override) tone is the Yelp tone. If the YELP is active then

the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Yelp 1 tone and if the ALT TONE push-button is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Lo 1 tone. The MANUAL

push-button is also a Hit-N-Go activator.

Scroll - Scroll only works when a siren tone is active and Dip Switch 7 is down (OFF). Once a siren tone is active, Scroll is activated simply by press-

ing the vehicle horn ring. The XCEL Siren will Scroll from Wail to Yelp to Alt and then back to Wail, if Dip Switch 6 is up (ON), the XCEL Siren will

Scroll from Waill to Yelp to Alt to OFF and then back to Wail. Holding the vehicle horn ring for greater than a half second will cause the XCEL Siren to

generate the Air Horn.

Park Kill - By default, the Park Kill puts the siren tones in standby and drops out the Level 3B output. Park Kill occurs when the vehicle is shifted into

park. The default for the polarity of the Park Kill input is +12V (Programmable to a GND). Once Park Kill is activated, the siren tones are in standby.

The siren tones will remain in standby until the vehicle is shifted into drive and an action occurs such as pressing one of the Siren push-buttons,

changing the position of the 3-Level Switch, or keying the microphone. The Level 3B and siren tones are in standby during Park Kill and the Auxiliary

push-buttons are not affected by the Park Kill function.
