Safety First
This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed.
Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must
read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.
• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics,
systems and procedures.
• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other
vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling
begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire
passage holes.
• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro™, clean the
mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.
• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or
located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a
projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air bag
deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based
on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.

made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE
(-) battery post.
• If this product uses a remote device to activate or control this product, make sure this control is located in an
area that allows both the vehicle and the control to be operated safely in any driving condition. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE OR CONTROL THIS DEVICE IN A HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATION.
• It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and

DANGER! Sirens produces extremely loud emergency warning tones! Exposure to these
tones without proper and adequate hearing protection, could cause ear damage and/or hearing
loss! The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (www.osha.gov) provides information
necessary to determine safe exposure times in Occupational Noise Exposure Section 1910.95.
Until you have determined the safe exposure times for your specific application, operators and
anyone else in the immediate vicinity should be required to wear an approved hearing protection
device. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS RECOMMENDATION COULD CAUSE HEARING LOSS!
CAUTION
Loud siren noise can cause
hearing damage and/or loss.
Refer to OSHA Section 1910.95 prior
to putting ANY siren into service!

X-ECUTOR 2 Remote Amplifier
Wiring Option #1:Horn Ring Control
Installation:
1. Find a suitable mounting location. A dry, cool compartment is a good
choice.
2. Position the amplifier on the mounting location and using an awl or
similar tool, scribe the mounting surface where the mounting holes
are to be drilled.
CAUTION: As mounting will require drilling, it is absolutely
necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components could be
damaged by the drilling process. If any vehicle component could
suffer any potential harm, select a different location.
3. Carefully drill the mounting holes using a #30 drill bit.
4. Using the supplied sheet metal screws, secure the amplifier to its
mounting surface. IMPORTANT: The amplifier case must be
mounted or grounded to the vehicle chassis.
Input Connector - P1: Connecting to Power
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
(see wire chart next page).
1. Extend RED and BLACK wires to the main battery switch.
2. Connect the RED wire to one end of a fuse block.
3. Extend the wire coming from the fuse block to the main battery
switch as shown below (switch and fuse block are user supplied). Do
not connect this unit to the battery switch yet.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to the vehicle’s chassis ground.
Connecting to Speaker:
1. Route ORANGE and BROWN wires to speaker.
2. Connect ORANGE wire to the WHITE speaker wire.
3. Connect BROWN wire to BLACK speaker wire.
For dual speaker installation, connect the second speakers wires to the
same destinations as the first speakers wires, as shown below.
Connecting Radio Rebroadcast:
The two (2) remaining BLUE wires are used to connect your two-way
radio’s external speaker for radio re-broadcast. This is an optional
connection and will not effect the other operations. If radio rebroadcast
is not used, place dip switch 6 in the down position.
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.
Installation will be complete after the fuse block wire is connected to the
main battery switch. After this connection has been made, visually
inspect the fuses at the back of the amplifier and at the battery. If either
of these fuses is blown, carefully inspect all of the circuit wires and
make sure they are wired correctly. Replace the blown fuses with ones
of an identical amp rating. If these fuses blow after installation or
activation, contact Whelen Engineering Technical Support.
NOTE: See next page for Adjusting Radio Rebroadcast.
See control head manual for connector P2 wiring.

Adjusting Radio Rebroadcast:
Before using this unit, the Radio Rebroadcast output volume must be adjusted to
satisfactory operating levels. To adjust this level, a small, flat blade screwdriver is
needed. Locate the Radio Rebroadcast adjustment port (potentiometer) to the right of
the 12 position input port on the back of the remote amplifier. Set the volume level of the
vehicle’s two-way radio to it’s normal operating volume. Turn the Rotory Knob on the
control head to RAD to activate Radio Repeat. Insert the screwdriver in the Radio
Rebroadcast adjustment port and turn in clockwise direction to increase the sound level.
