WARNING: Mounting this unit will require drilling. It is absolutely necessary to
make sure that no other vehicle components could be damaged in the process.
Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If damage is likely,
select a different location.

Wiring:
Siren Input Connector - RED: Power - BLACK: Ground

current and FUSED at the battery to carry that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!
1. Extend the RED and BLACK wires
toward the vehicle battery. To pass
the RED and BLACK wires
through, you may have to drill a
hole in the firewall. Insert a grommet to protect the wires.
2. Route the RED and BLACK wires along the factory harness towards the battery
and install a fuse block (user supplied) on the end of the RED wire. Remove fuse
from fuse block before connecting any wires to battery.
3. Connect fuse block wire to POSITIVE terminal on battery. There must not be more
than 2 feet of wire between fuse block and battery. The wire between the fuse and
battery is “unprotected,” do not allow it to chafe and short to ground.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to the factory chassis ground.

factory wire harness and through firewall at the same point as the RED and
BLACK wires.
2. Connect the YELLOW wire to the POSITIVE terminal on the SPEAKER and the
BROWN wire to NEGATIVE connection on the speaker.
WHITE/GREEN - Horn Relay Wires:
1. Route WHITE/GREEN wire along factory wire harness and through firewall at the
same point as the RED and BLACK wires.
2. Route WHITE/GREEN wires to vehicle’s horn relay. If possible, follow the factory
wire harness to this relay.
3. Locate the wire that connects the vehicle horn to the horn relay.
4. Connect the WHITE/GREEN wire to the wire that runs from the horn relay to the
horn.

Power Switch
This switch has two positions. Down (Off) and Up (On). When this switch is off, siren
functions are disabled.
Rotary Switch
The Rotary Knob controls the siren functions of the Epsilon. There are 7 positions
that may be selected (see “Switch Operations”).
Volume Knob
The Volume Knob controls the volume of Public Address function. Volume is
increased by rotating the knob in a clockwise direction. Rotating the volume knob in a
counter-clockwise direction decreases the volume produced by these features. The
volume knob has no effect on siren tones.
MAN Button
The Manual button generates a variety of tones, depending on what position the
rotary knob is in (see “Switch Operations”).
Diagnostic Indicator:
While this siren is under normal use the diagnostic indicator is used to indicate fault
conditions with your siren system. The following table lists the type of fault and the
indicators response. If the indicator is on steady while a tone is in use, this implies
that there is no fault with the speaker output.
Fault Condition Diagnostic Indicators Response
Speaker Short Circuit: The speaker LED will be in a SingleFlash mode (the LED will
be on and off an equal amount of time) and siren tones won’t operate.
Speaker Undercurrent: Speaker LED will be off. All tones will continue to operate.
Microphone:
Whenever the siren is on, activating the microphone (pressing the switch on the side
of the mic.) will shut down any other siren functions and enable public address
operation regardless of the rotary switch position or any other switch or input.
