connections, drilling holes, or lifting
equipment. Therefore, installation
should be performed by experienced
electricians in accordance with national
and local electrical codes.

siren is capable of causing permanent
hearing damage. To prevent excessive
exposure to civilians, carefully plan
placement of siren and post warnings.
To prevent excessive exposure to
installers and service personnel,
adequate measures must be taken to
ensure that the sirens are not activated
while they are within 150 feet of the
speaker array or provide proper ear
protection.

FEMA CPG 1-17 and CPG 1-14 and your
local Federal Signal representative to
properly place your outdoor warning
equipment.
B. Pole Mounting
A typical pole mounted siren installation is
shown in the figure below. The siren is
mounted on Class 2 utility pole (ANSI
type wooden pole or equivalent) with a
minimum horizontal ground stress rating
of 3,700 pounds (1682 kg). (Insure that
soil loads will conform to this size utility
pole.)
NOTE: Certain soil conditions may
require guying for the pole. Check with
proper building authorities
NOTE: The speaker array installation is
covered in a separate set of instructions
supplied with the array.
To install the ULTRAVOICE control unit
to a wooden utility pole, proceed as
follows:
1. Uncrate the siren control. Remove
the plastic bag attached to the
conduit that is connected between
the control and the battery box.
2. Unlock the control box and the
battery box. Inspect the control
and battery box for any damage.
Report any damage immediately to
the shipping company and file a
claim. Inform Federal Signal of the
damage.
