Installation:

The 295HF100, although technologically advanced, is simple to

install. An aftermarket center console is recommended for the

mounting location of the 295HF100. This not only allows the

driver to reach the controls easily, but also keeps the unit safely

out of the path of the vehicle’s SRS air-bag. Follow the console

manufacturer’s instructions for mounting information.

If a console-type mount is not possible, the 295HF100 includes

a bail strap mounting kit for over- or under-dash mounting.

The following steps will guide you through the

installation process:

Connecting the Power & Ground Wires:

RED (Power) and BLACK (Ground)

1. Remove the driver’s side front seat.

2. Remove the front, driver’s side rocker sill plate and kick panel.

3. Fold back the floor covering so that access is gained to the factory wire harness routed under the driver’s seat .

4. Insert the wiring harness into it’s port as shown in Fig. 1.

5. Extend the 2 RED and 2 BLACK wires toward the sill plate. Follow the same path as the factory wire harness.

WARNING: All customer supplied wires that connect 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. DO NOT

USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

6. Continue to follow the factory

harness through the firewall. To

pass the RED and BLACK wires

through, it may be necessary to

drill a hole in the firewall. If so, be

sure that there are no compo-

nents that will be damaged. After

the hole is drilled, insert a

grommet to protect the wires.

7. Route the RED and BLACK wires

along the factory harness

towards the battery.

8. Install 15 amp fuse block (user

supplied) on end of RED wire.

Note: Remove the fuse from the

fuse block before connecting any

wires to the battery!

9. Connect the fuse block wire to

the POSITIVE (+) terminal on the

battery. There must not be more

than two (2) feet of wire between

the fuse block and the battery. As

the wire between the fuse and

the battery is “unprotected”, do

not allow this wire to come in

contact with any other wires!

10. Connect the BLACK wire to the

factory chassis ground, adjacent

to the battery.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING!!!

Do not install this product or route any wires in

the deployment area of your airbag. Equipment

mounted or located in the airbag deployment area

will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the

airbag, or become a projectile that could cause

serious personal injury or death. Refer to your

vehicle owners manual for the air bag deployment

area.

Note:The two (2) remaining BLUE wires are used to connect your two-way radio’s external speaker to the

295HF100-series siren for radio re-broadcast. This is an optional connection and does not effect the other

operations of the 295HF100-series siren.

Note:Radio re-broadcast will NOT work with amplified remote speakers! If your remote speaker is amplified

(I.E.: contains a power amp circuit in the speaker assembly), do not enable the radio re-broadcast feature.

1. Locate the two wires that connect the external speaker to the two-way radio.

2. Cut one of these wires and splice one of the BLUE wires into this circuit.

3. Cut the remaining speaker wire and splice the remaining BLUE wire into this circuit.

Connecting the 295HF100 to a Remote Control-Head (Optional):

The 295HF100 may be connected to an existing control-head, such as the Whelen PCC-S9N or equivalent. This is an

optional connection that enables the WAIL tone to be activated through the use of a PCC-S9N button or switch. If this

connection is not chosen, cut the VIOLET wire and cap the remaining stub to prevent accidental grounding of the wire.

To Adjust The PA and Radio Repeat Levels: Before initial use, the PA and Radio Repeat output volume must be

adjusted to satisfactory operating levels. All 295HF100-series sirens utilize an internal potentiometer to control Radio

Repeat volume levels (see the “Radio Repeat Volume” section for adjustment information).

PA Volume - Public Address (PA) volume adjustments are

made with either an internal potentiometer or with a volume

knob, depending upon the model in question (see the “PA

Volume” section for adjustment information).

Radio Repeat Volume - If your model uses a potentiometer, locate the PA

adjustment port as shown. With the vehicle in an enclosed area, turn the Rotory

Knob to PA and speak into the microphone. While speaking, insert the screwdriver

and turn in a clockwise direction to increase the volume. Continue to increase the

PA volume until audio feedback occurs. Turn the screwdriver in a counter clock

wise direction to eliminate feed back and set the PA level to maximum volume.

For models with a PA Volume knob, follow the same procedures as above, except

that a screwdriver is not used. Simply make the adjustments using the knob.

Locate the Radio Repeat adjustment port (potentiometer) as shown. Set the volume level of the vehicle’s two-way

radio to it’s normal operating volume. Turn the Rotory Knob to RAD to activate Radio Repeat. Insert the screwdriver in

the Radio Repeat adjustment port and turn in a clockwise direction to increase the volume to it’s maximum volume.

Operating the 295HF100 Controls

Power Switch - This switch has two positions: Down (295HF100 - Off) and Up (295HF100 - On).

When this switch is in the Off position, the WS295HF100 will not function. When the switch is in

the On position the siren is functional and may be activated at the operator’s discretion. NOTE: If

the 295HF100 is connected to the vehicle’s horn ring circuit, the vehicle horn is disabled when the

295HF100 power switch is in the ON position.

MAN Button - The Manual button generates a variety of tones, depending on what position the

Rotary knob is in. For further explanation of this button’s function, refer to the Rotary knob section

of this manual.

Rotary Switch - The Rotary Knob controls the siren and PA (Public Address) functions of the

295HF100-series siren. There are 7 positions that may be selected. Each position and it’s function

is outlined on the next page:

RAD (Radio Repeat) - When the rotary knob is in the RAD position, any signal that is received by the vehicle’s

two-way radio will be simultaneously broadcast over the vehicle’s loudspeaker (the 295HF100 must be

connected to the two-way radio as outlined in this manual). This function overrides any other siren function.

PA (Public Address) - When the rotary knob is in the PA position, public address functions are operational.

Messages may be broadcast over the vehicle’s loudspeaker when the 295HF100 microphone is in use. If the

Manual button is pressed while the rotary knob is in this position, an “air horn” siren tone will be generated by

your vehicle’s loudspeaker. This tone is generated until the Manual button is released. The “air horn” may also

be generated by pressing the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the vehicle’s horn has been wired to the

295HF100).

MAN (Manual Siren) - When the rotary knob is in the MAN position, pressing the Manual button generates a

tone that rises in pitch to a pre-set level. This tone is generated for as long as the Manual button is pressed. The

same tone may be generated by pressing the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the vehicle’s horn has been

wired to the 295HF100). Please note that the 295HF100 microphone will override the siren function.

HF (Hands Free Operation) - When the rotary knob is in the HF position, the siren functions of the 295HF100

are placed in a stand-by mode. Siren tones are activated by a single “tap” on the MAN button or a single “tap” on

the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the vehicle’s horn has been wired to the 295HF100). The first “tap”

produces a “Wail” tone (a steady, rise and fall tone). A second “tap” produces a “Yelp” tone (a fast, rise and fall

tone). A third “tap” produces a “PiercerTM” tone (an extremely fast, rise and fall tone). The next “tap” returns the

siren to a “Wail” tone and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick, successive “taps” will stop the siren.

WAIL (Wail Tone) - When the rotary knob is in the WAIL position, a steady, rise and fall tone is produced.

A single “tap” on the MAN button or a single “tap” on the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the vehicle’s

horn has been wired to the 295HF100), changes the siren tone to a “Yelp” pattern (a fast, rise and fall tone). A

second “tap”, and the siren returns to a “Wail” tone. Please note that the 295HF100 microphone will override the

siren function.

YELP (Yelp Tone) - When the rotary knob is in the YELP position, a fast, rise and fall tone is produced. Pressing

the MAN button or the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the vehicle’s horn has been wired to the

295HF100), changes the siren tone to a simulated air horn tone for as long as the button is pressed. Releasing

the button causes the siren to return to the Yelp tone. Please note that the 295HF100 microphone will override

the siren function.

PIER (Piercer TM Tone) - (NOTE: Some models may have a Hi/Lo tone instead of the PiercerTM tone) When the

rotary knob is in the PIER/Hi-Lo position, an extremely fast, rise and fall tone (alternating high and low tones for

Hi-Lo) is produced. Pressing the MAN button or a single “tap” on the vehicle’s steering wheel horn button (if the

vehicle’s horn has been wired to the siren), changes the siren tone to a simulated air horn tone for as long as the

button is pressed. Releasing the button causes the siren to return to the “Piercer TM ” (Hi-Lo) tone. Please note

that the microphone will override the siren function.

CAUTION

Loud siren noise can cause

hearing damage and/or loss.
