How to Install the SST3-MV Electronic Siren
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the SST3-MV Electronic Siren, ensuring proper setup for optimal performance.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Adapter gasket
- Mount the siren
Secure the SST3-MV siren to the chosen mounting surface using the provided #8-32 x 3-1/4 inch screws. Ensure the siren is level and firmly attached.
- Connect power to the siren
Make sure the power is off. For AC operation, set the voltage selector switch on the siren PCB to the desired voltage, then connect the AC power leads to the 120/240 Vac terminals of the connector plug.
- Wire for tone activation
For remote tone activation, connect a dry-contact closure between the ground terminal and one of the tone terminals (WAIL, YELP, HORN) using 18 AWG shielded twisted-pair wires. Ensure the connections are secure and the insulation is flush with the connector.
