GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The SC-550 Remote Siren Amplifier with integrated Lighting Control is a premium unit designed  
for single or dual 100W speaker use. A remote hand control is connected to the amplifier with a  
thin cable. A 6-position rotary switch controls the primary operating modes of Phaser, Yelp, Wail,  
Manual, Horn and Radio. A siren button and auxiliary siren input is provided for control of the  
output tone, depending on the rotary switch setting. An integral microphone provides PA function.  
The power switch is combined with the PA volume control. A hole is provided in the amplifier to  
adjust Radio volume. A 4-position progressive slide switch controls primary lighting and may  
automatically activate the siren. Non-progressive slide switch outputs provided for tailored light-  
ing. Four auxiliary output pushbuttons provide for controlling additional lighting or other devices.  
A latching siren cutout input is provided for connection to a door switch, etc. to disable the siren  
when exiting the vehicle. An 8-position DIP switch on the amplifier allows selection of various  
options: Two-Tone to replace Phaser, Phaser disable, Horn disable , short Manual, and Horn Ring  
Cycler 2 (HRC2). Auxiliary siren and cutout input activation polarity along with disabling automatic  
siren and slide switch reverse are additional options. The hand control is backlighted with LED's  
for night visibility. The siren amplifier utilizes short circuit, high voltage, and reverse polarity pro-  
tection systems for maximum service life over a wide temperature range. The slide switch and  
auxiliary outputs are fused individually.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
Connections are made using pressure terminal connectors. Legends on the unit identify each  
terminal function. Attach leads by stripping 3/8", inserting into connector and clamp by tightening  
screw. Make sure the screw is tight and the wire can't be pulled out. Failure to adequately  
tighten the screw can result in improper operation or burning the connector and wire.  
Positive Supply:  
Negative Supply:  
Due to the high current nature of this unit, an appropriate supply line is  
required. In addition to the high current delivered to devices on the out-  
puts, the siren amplifier will require peak currents up to 50 amps for ade-  
quate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred source  
is directly at the vehicle battery.  
The negative supply line is for the siren amplifier. The siren amplifier will  
require peak currents up to 50 amps for adequate short circuit protection  
and reliable operation. The preferred source is directly at the vehicle bat-  
tery.  
Speaker:  
Both connections must be used. Two speakers may be connected in par-  
allel. Observe polarity (phasing) for maximum sound output.  
Radio (Optional):  
Both connections must be used. The input is isolated and polarity is not  
important. May need to adjust RADIO VOLUME on side of amplifier.  
Auxiliary Siren  
(Optional):

L1, L2, L3 Outputs: These outputs are controlled by the slide switch in a progressive fashion.  
Outputs are fused.  
S1 to S4 Outputs:  
These outputs are controlled individually by pushbutton switch 1 to 4.  
Outputs are fused.  
OUT1,2 Outputs  
(Optional):  
Controlled by the slide switch in a non-progressive fashion.  
See Slide Switch under Light Controls.  
These outputs are not fused and are intended to control external relays.  
When turned on the output supplies +VDC @ 500mA max.  
When turned off the output is open (high impedance).  
MOUNTING - Hand Control  
Choose a mounting location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment  
areas. Consider cable routing to amplifier as well as PA use. Mount the hand control with sup-  
plied Hook and Loop tape (VELCRO). If the tape method is not preferred, the hand control may  
be mounted several ways including a cell phone holder. Plug cable into amplifier, no other electri-  
cal connections are necessary.  
MOUNTING - Amplifier  
Select a location for the amplifier in an area such as the driver compartment firewall, under a seat,  
etc. Mounting the amplifier in the engine compartment or in an area directly exposed to weather  
is not recommended. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Allow clearance for  
wiring and radio adjustment. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Mark the location of  
the mounting holes to be drilled.  
Drill 4 holes (up to 1/4" diameter) to mount the amplifier to the vehicle. Install the removable ter-  
minal block plug and make all electrical connections before final mounting (See ELECTRICAL  
CONNECTIONS). The plug may be secured with the two locking screws. Then mount the ampli-  
fier to the vehicle using appropriate hardware (not supplied).  
RADIO VOLUME ADJUST  
If the Radio repeat mode of the siren is going to be used then the RADIO VOLUME control may  
need to be adjusted. This is a one time setting which depends on the radio connected and its  
normal volume. On the hand control, set the slide switch to OFF, set the rotary switch to RADio,  
and power switch to ON. With the volume on the radio itself set to normal level, set the RADIO  
VOLUME control to the desired output level.

OPERATION  
Sound Hazard - Sound level from siren speaker (>120dBA @ 10 feet) may cause hearing damage.  
Do not operate siren without adequate hearing protection for you and anyone in immediate vicinity.  
(Ref. OSHA 1910.95 for occupational noise exposure guidelines)  
GENERAL  
This unit is designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high-speed pursuit.  
Most functions are accessible with one simple motion without repetitive activation of switches or  
automatic timed switching that can interfere with desired operation.  
Power Switch/PA Volume  
SIREN CONTROLS  
The combined power switch and volume control give power to the  
hand control and adjust the PA volume. Power is turned OFF by  
rotating the control counterclockwise until it “clicks”. Power is turned  
ON and increased PA volume by rotating clockwise. The power  
switch should be turned off when vehicle is not being used to con-  
serve battery power.  
The Rotary Function Switch selects various siren operating modes.  
These modes are as follows:  
Function Switch  
PHaSeR: The siren produces a very fast warble tone. This mode  
may be used at intersections or in highly congested ar-  
eas. Horn and PA override available in this mode.  
YELP:  
The siren produces a moderate warble tone. This mode  
may be used in lightly congested areas. Horn and PA  
override available in this mode.  
WAIL:  
The siren produces a normal rise-fall tone pattern. This mode may be used on high-  
ways or areas with constant traffic flow. Yelp and PA override available in this mode.  
MANual: The siren rise-fall tone is controlled manually with the Siren button. PA override avail-  
able in this mode.  
HORN:  
RADio:  
Also considered a standby mode. Horn and PA override available in this mode.  
This mode reproduces, or repeats, the output of a radio. The radio must be connected  
and the RADIO VOLUME adjusted. PA override available in this mode.  
The following OVERRIDE FUNCTIONS are for certain modes.  
PA and Siren Button  
PTT  
PA:  
By pressing the microphone PTT (Push to Talk) switch  
on the side of the hand control, the siren will change to a  
PA (Public Address) amplifier. The siren mode resumes  
when the PTT is released. Adjust the PA Volume and  
hold the MIC close to your lips for proper operation. PA  
override is available in all modes.  
HORN:  
By momentarily pressing the Siren button or activating the auxiliary siren input, the  
HORN tone is produced. The siren mode resumes when released. Horn override is  
available in all modes except Radio and Wail.  
YELP:  
HRC2:  
Only available in Wail mode. By momentarily pressing the Siren button or activating  
the auxiliary siren input, the siren output is toggled between Wail and Yelp tone.  
Horn Ring Cycler 2 is only available in Horn (Standby) mode and must be enabled  
with the option switches. Tap the horn ring to bring the unit out of standby into Wail  
tone. Repeatedly tapping the horn ring will cycle through Wail, Yelp, and Phaser  
tones. Tapping the horn ring twice quickly will stop the siren tones and return the unit  
to standby. Pressing and holding the horn ring will produce Horn tone until released.  
Then the siren returns to its previous siren tone or standby.. If automatic siren is ac-  
tive, then tones are not stopped. See OPTION SWITCHES section for further details.  
CUTOUT: The cutout input turns off any siren tone when activated, and remains off until a siren  
control is changed.

LIGHT CONTROLS  
A 4-position slide switch provides control of primary lighting functions. It also provides automatic  
activation of the siren. Four pushbuttons for additional lighting or controlling other devices. The  
power switch on the hand control must be ON for light controls to function.  
Slide Switch  
The slide switch provides progressive (additive) control of lighting  
functions. Position 1 turns on L1 output. Position 2 turns on L1 and  
Slide Switch  
L2 outputs. Position 3 turns on L1, L2, and L3 outputs. Position 3  
also turns on the siren (Automatic Siren).  
The slide switch position outputs OUT1 and OUT2 are for setups  
that require a non-progressive slide switch. Only Position 1 will turn  
on OUT1. Only Position 2 will turn on OUT2. In Position 3 the L3  
output can be used since only Position 3 will turn this on.  
Note that OUT1 and OUT2 are not fused and intended to drive external relays. These outputs  
can only drive loads up to 500mA each.  
Slide Switch Reverse  
The Option Switch can be set to reverse the slide switch positions. Position 1 and Position 3  
operations are reversed or swapped.

SERVICE  
This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst conditions. Many  
times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the true problem is in the speaker(s),  
controlled devices, or improper installation. The following chart shows typical symptoms and  
possible causes.  
A blown siren fuse doesn't necessarily mean that the unit is bad. If a speaker or speaker lead is  
shorted the fuse will blow before the unit is damaged. Disconnect the SPKR leads and replace  
the fuse. If the unit itself emits a low level sound when in the Yelp position it is OK. Check the  
speaker(s) or leads for possible shorting.  
25A Fuses are required for each light control output. Adequate fuse rating is required to prevent  
overheating of the output connection block.
