Siren Types And Use

[CFS_Firey]

Tillerman, do you know if appliances will come with air horns and the PA system?

Thank god, finally a proper siren. It'll be good to have the old Hi-Lo back again.

CFS_Firey, I would imagine all of the appliances would come with the PA system and the electronic horns at least, as they are built into the siren controls.

Correct 2090, the siren has an electronic airhorn and P.A.

The appliances will also have LED mini bars to allow for the height restrants.

2090, I asked because it says "PA operation available" indicating its not necessarily standard, and the photo clearly shows the PA mic and volume control attached to the main controller, not the button panel...

Oops i think we replied at the same time.

CFS have to have a PA so it will be on there, the volume is set at maximum as with the last lot of 34's and 34p's. Also the PA can be used at any time and will override the siren tone.

OK, cool...  How about the radio being hooked up? (Or is that just wishful thinking...?)

[TillerMan]

Can be done but CFS won't be doing it, all you need to do is split the GRN speaker cable into the siren box and then when you arrive flick the siren to the radio position and the GRN will go through your siren speaker so that everyone around the truck can hear it.

Are you aware if the siren control has any additional tones, activated by the manual button when on a standard tone?


Thanks.

When on wail and manuel is pressed you get yelp, when on yelp and manuel is pressed you get HyperYelp and when on Hi-lo and manuel is pressed you get HyperLow.

Also when siren is in standby mode and manuel is pressed you get wail that goes to the highest pitch and stays there till you take your finger off (the same as all manuel buttons on appliances now).

Thanks mate. Definately a step forward.. Although, it all comes down to the user..
