Standard Features Continued:
Hit-N-Go - Hit-N-Go only works when a siren tone is active and if Dip Switch 7 is Up (ON). Once a siren tone is active, Hit-N-Go is activated
simply by pressing the vehicle horn ring. It will go to the Override tone for 8 seconds and then return to the primary tone. The actual tone
for the Hit-N-Go depends on which position the rotary knob is in. If the WAIL is active then the Hit-N-Go (Override) tone is the Yelp tone. If
the YELP is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the Hyper-Yelp 1 tone and if the ALT TONE push-button is active then the Hit-N-Go tone is the
Hyper-Lo 1 tone. The MANUAL push-button is also a Hit-N-Go activator.
Scroll - Scroll only works when a siren tone is active and Dip Switch 7 is down (OFF). Once a siren tone is active, Scroll is activated simply
by pressing the vehicle horn ring. The XCEL Siren will Scroll from Wail to Yelp to Alt and then back to Wail, if Dip Switch 6 is up (ON), the
XCEL Siren will Scroll from Waill to Yelp to Alt to OFF and then back to Wail. Holding the vehicle horn ring for greater than a half second will
cause the XCEL Siren to generate the Air Horn.
Park Kill - By default, the Park Kill puts the siren tones in standby and drops out the Level 3B output. Park Kill occurs when the vehicle is
shifted into park. The default for the polarity of the Park Kill input is +12V (Programmable to a GND). Once Park Kill is activated, the siren
tones are in standby. The siren tones will remain in standby until the vehicle is shifted into drive and an action occurs such as pressing one of
the Siren push-buttons, changing the position of the 3-Level Switch, or keying the microphone. The Level 3B and siren tones are in standby
during Park Kill and the Auxiliary push-buttons are not affected by the Park Kill function.
SirenLock - SirenLock is used to allow the XCEL Siren to only generate the tones when in Level 3. When SirenLock is enabled, the XCEL
Siren is 'Locked' from generating Primary tones until the 3-Level Switch is moved to Level 3. SirenLock does not affect the MANUAL and AIR
HORN push-buttons. The default for SirenLock is disabled and the XCEL Siren will generate Primary tones when the rotary knob (Wail, Yelp
or Alt) is activated regardless of the position of the 3-Level Switch. Siren Lock is selected via dip switch 4.
LightAlert - LightAlert feature will produce an audible "beep" on a periodic basis if any lighting is activated including Auxiliary push-buttons.
This is intended to alert the operator that lights are on. By default, this is Enabled, if the user wishes to Disable it, this can be done via enter-
ing Programming Mode.
Speaker and Lighting Self Test - The XCEL siren is continuously running a Speaker and Lighting test making sure that there are no speak-
er issues (open or short) and checking to see if there are any Open fuses. The XCEL siren faceplate has two green LEDs below the rotary
knob, LT and SP. These are lit at all times unless there is an issue. If there is an issue, the LED will remain off until the siren has seen the
issue fixed. Example: Pressing an Aux push-button that has a blown fuse will turn off the LT LED, once the fuse has been replaced, pressing
the Aux push-button again will allow the siren to check the fuse and turn back on the LT LED. SP light works in a similary way, if the XCEL
siren detects a bad speaker during tone generation (Primary or Secondary tones), the SP LED will turn off and the siren will try every few
seconds to generate tones until it sees a good speaker again. Once the XCEL siren detects a good speaker, the SP LED will turn back on.
Instant On - There is no "ON/OFF" switch. If the XCEL Siren is properly installed and the vehicle's ignition is switched on, selecting any
siren function or keying the microphone will activate the selected siren function. If the Ignition is off, the user can still power up the auxiliary
switches A - E (Switch F is on its own power source for Gun Locks) and the 3 Level Switch. All siren tones are deactivated until the XCEL
siren detects the ignition is on.
Microphone - Push-To-Talk (PTT) is highest priority and overrides all other siren tones. Pressing the push-button on the microphone will
automatically override all siren tones and switch to the public address mode. The microphone is easily plugged into the Control Head with a
modular phone plug. This allows the microphone to be unplugged for easy service or replacement.
Stuck Mic - If the PTT is pressed for 30 seconds , the XCEL Siren will disable the PTT and return to the previous operation. This will avoid
the situation where the PTT is "stuck" in the on position for extended periods. To continue using the PTT, release the PTT and press it again.
Blown Fuse Indicator - The XCEL Siren will give a visual warning via LEDS above the output connectors if there is no power being supplied
to any 3-Level output or to the Auxiliary A through F outputs when they are turned ON. By default, anytime an output is turned on, the LED
above the ouput at the rear of the siren will turn on as well, if the siren detects a blown fuse, not only will the LT light turn off on the front of
the XCEL siren, the output indicator LED at the rear will turn off as well easily identifying which fuse blew. The fuses can be easily accessed
through the top of the XCEL Siren.
