GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The LCS770 Siren Amplifier is a premium 200W unit designed for single or dual

100W speaker use and full lighting control.

The primary operating modes are Phaser, Yelp, Wail, Hands Free, Manual, Alert,

and Radio. A Noise Canceling PA Override and push-button Horn Override are

available in all modes. A manual push-button is provided for push-on/push-off tone

toggle operation in the Phaser, Yelp, and Wail modes. It also allows manual siren

control in the Manual or PA modes. The Phaser function can be optionally replaced

by Two-Tone or disabled entirely with program jumpers. Another feature allows

cycling through Wail, Yelp, Phaser, and Standby by providing a signal to the horn

ring auxiliary wire when the function switch is in the Hands Free (HF) position. A

Park Kill option is provided for connection to a door switch, etc. to disable the siren

when exiting the vehicle. Radio and PA volume controls are provided on the front

panel. Also located on the front panel are two LED's for speaker diagnostics.

This unit additionally contains several distinct controls for operation of vehicle

devices. A slide switch allows quick pursuit mode operation. The far right slide

position can be set up to activate maximum lights and siren for pursuit mode. There

are four push buttons to control four different lighting or auxiliary functions.

The front panel is backlighted with LED's for night visibility. This compact unit

utilizes short circuit, high voltage, low voltage, and reverse polarity protection

systems for maximum service life.

INSTALLATION

Proper installation of the unit is essential for years of safe, reliable operation.

Please read all instruction before installing the unit. Failure to follow these

instructions can cause serious damage to the unit or vehicle and may void

Installer Selectable Options (Jumper Settings)

The LCS770 has several options that can be selected during installation. Jumpers on

the printed circuit board, inside the case, allow the installer to select these various

options. These options should be set before installation of the unit.

-Auxiliary input polarity

-Park Kill input polarity

-Two-tone replacement of Phaser tone

-Phaser Disable

-Slide Switch Pursuit Siren Disable

-Speaker (Audible Beep) Disable

-8 second timed gun lock release (S4)

Cover Removal -Remove

the three Philip head screws

located on each side of the

unit. DO NOT REMOVE

THE SCREWS ON THE

BOTTOM OF THE UNIT!

Slide the top cover off of

the unit. This cover can be

removed completely from

the siren unit. Carefully

slide the cover off and set it

aside.

After the cover has been removed, find the location of the option jumpers (see the

diagram below).

Auxiliary Input Polarity-The auxiliary input (green wire) is normally activated

by applying a positive voltage to the wire. To activate it by connecting it to

ground (negative), move the jumper from the "AUX-POS" pins to the "AUX-

NEG" pins.

-4-

Installer Selectable Options (continued)

Park Kill Input Polarity -The park kill (cutout) inputturns off any siren tone

output when activated (i.e. vehicle shifted into park, door opened, etc.), and

remains off until a control on the siren is activated or changed. The wiring

diagram on page 8 shows two connection examples.

The park kill input is normally activated by connecting the gray wire to positive

voltage. To activate by connecting it to ground (negative) instead, move the jumper

from the "PK-POS" pins to the "PK-NEG" pins.

Auxiliary Input Function -The auxiliary input (green wire) allowsyou to "mimic"

either the Horn or the Manual button functions, through some other external switch

such as the vehicle horn switch. The wiring diagram on page 8 shows two

connection examples. NOTE: Permanent disconnection of the vehicle horn is NOT

recommended.

The siren is factory shipped with the auxiliary input option defaulted as the Horn

function (on only one of the "AUX" pins). To utilize the auxiliary input as the

Manual function instead of the Horn function, move the "AUX" jumper from one pin

onto both of the pins.

Two-Tone –The Phaser sound can be replaced by a Two-Tone (HI-LO) sound by

moving the "TT" jumper from one pin onto both of the "TT" pins.

Phaser Disable -The Phaser function can be completely disabled by moving the

"TD" jumper from one pin to both pins. This will also disable the Two-Tone

function used when the manual button is pressed while the mode switch is in the

Phaser position.

Pursuit Disable -The farthest right slide switch position (L3) will normally

activate the siren output in the wail mode, along with all three light functions. If

you prefer to NOT have the siren automatically activated when the slide switch is

moved to position three, move Pursuit Disable jumper onto only one pin.

8 second timed gun lock

release (S4) -The amplifier

is shipped with the fourth

push button (S4) as a

standard on/off button. It

can be optionally selected to

stay activated for only 8

seconds when pressed. To

change button (S4) to a

timed unlock remove the

Gun Lock jumper and place

it only on one pin.

Speaker Disable (Audible beep disable) -The audible beep heard when the light

control buttons on the siren are pressed can be disabled. If you move the Speaker

Disable jumper from both pins onto only one pin, the audible beep will cease.

MOUNTING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For the safety of the installer, vehicle operator, passengers and the community

pleaseobserve the following safety precautions. Failure to follow all safety

precautions and instructions may result in property damage, injury and/or

death.

The LCS770 siren may be mounted above the dash, below the dash, on a tunnel, or

in a rack with the mounting u-bracket provided. Choose a mounting location

convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Inspect

behind mounting area for clearance. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent

overheating. Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as

microphone bracket placement. Install mounting bracket to vehicle using 1/4"

hardware (not supplied). Drill two 1/8" size holes, and install microphone clip

using the two screws provided with the clip.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical connections to the unit are made using removable connectors located on

the back. If the unit needs service the connectors can be easily unplugged from the

unit without unwiring the connector.

The power supply of the sirenmust be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50

amps for adequate short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred

source is directly at the vehicle battery. The unit is internally fused. A wiring

diagram on page 8 shows detail of how to wire the siren to the vehicle.

Wire Size and Termination -The wiring diagrams on pages 8 and 10 show the

minimum wire size used for each connection, along with recommended lead color.

If the wire is longer than 10 ft., then use the next larger wire size.

!!! WARNING !!!

DO NOT mount in air bag deployment area.

Devices should be mounted only in locations listed in SAE standard J1849.

Controls should be placed within convenient reach of the driver.

Assure clearances before drilling in vehicle.

To prevent internal damage, the mounting bolts must not enter case more

than 1/4".

Sound levels produced by attached speakers can cause permanent hearing loss.

Never operate this unit without adequate hearing protection for you and others

in the area. (OSHA 1910.95)

Please follow these guidelines when wiring the siren:

•Use only high quality crimp connectors.

•Make sure all connections are tight.

•Route wiring to prevent wear, overheating and interference with air bag

deployment.

•Use grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls.

•Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage drop.

•Ground connections should only be made to substantial chassis components,

preferably directly to the negative of the vehicle battery.

•Install and check all wiring before connection to vehicle battery.

SirenWiring Connections:

Siren input and output

connections are made on the

back of the unit through a

12-pin connector and wiring

harness (part # SWH-48).

Please review the Siren Wiring diagram on page 8 and make your connections

as follows:

BLACK: (Pins 2 & 5) Ground -Connect these leads to the negative of the

battery, or to a good chassis ground. You MUST connect both

leads if you are using two 100-watt speakers. Be sure to use

minimum size #14 AWG wire.

RED: (Pins 1 & 4) Power -Connect both leads to the positive side of the

battery, or to a high current power buss. You MUST connect both

leads if you are using two 100-watt speakers. A power relay may

also be used. Be sure to use minimum size #14AWG wire.

YELLOW: (Pin 11) Ignition Switched Power -Connect to +12VDC through

a switched power supply (possibly ignition). This will turn the

siren and light controls on and off. Be sure to use minimum size

#18 AWG wire. NOTE:This wire performs the same function as

the On/Off switch on the front of the unit.

ORANGE: (Pin 9) Backlight Power -This lead supplies power for the

backlighting of the faceplate. Connect it to +12VDC from the

dash lights, parking lights or other switched source. Be sure to use

minimum size #18 AWG wire. Note: The unit will still function

without power to this wire. There will not be any backlighting or

visual feedback on the switches though.

BROWN: (Pins 7 & 12) Speaker Output -Connect one lead to each terminal

or lead of the speaker. Be sure to use minimum size #14 AWG

wire. If connecting a second speaker in parallel, you must

observe the polarity of the speakers (phasing). Be sure that the

positive terminals of both speakers are connected together to the

same brown wire from the siren. In which case, the negative

terminals of both speakers would also be connected together to the

other brown wire.

Siren Wiring Connections (CONTD):

Optional Connections:

BLUE:(Pins 3 & 6) Input From Radio-Used for radio repeat. Connect

one blue lead to each terminal of the radio speaker or output

connector of the radio. Most radio outputs are isolated, in which

case polarity would not be important. Radios with polarity

sensitive outputs should be connected w/ the blue wire from pin 6

to the positive radio output, and the blue wire from pin 3 to the

negative radio output. Use #18 AWG wire.

GREEN:(Pin 10) AUX or Horn Ring -Used for remote Manual (or Air

Horn) control. Connect to the horn ring circuit or some other

remote switch. Circuit may be positive or negative with proper

jumper selection. See INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTION

section (page 3 and 4) for jumper details.

NOTE: Cut lead short if not used & insulate w/ electrical tape.

GRAY:(Pin 8) Park Kill (Cut-off) –This wire is used to de-activate the

siren when the vehicle is exited. Connect to dome light or added

door switch. Circuit may be positive or negative with proper

jumper selection. See INSTALLER-SELECTABLE OPTION

section (page 4) for jumper details.

NOTE: Be sure to cut lead short if not used and insulate with

electrical tape.
