Safety Messages

It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be

installed by trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the country electric codes

and will follow these guidelines as well as local codes and ordinances, including any

state or local noise control ordinances. Listed below are important safety instructions and

precautions you should follow:

Important Notice

Federal Signal reserves the right to make changes to devices and specications detailed in

the manual at any time in order to improve reliability, function or design. The information

in this manual has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no

responsibility is assumed for any inaccuracies.

Publications

Federal Signal recommends the following publications from the Federal Emergency

Management Agency for assistance with planning an outdoor warning system:

• The “Outdoor Warning Guide” (CPG 1-17)

• “Civil Preparedness, Principles of Warning” (CPG 1-14)

• FEMA-REP-1, Appendix 3 (Nuclear Plant Guideline)

• FEMA-REP-10 (Nuclear Plant Guideline).

Planning

• If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the siren is

not selected properly or the siren is not installed properly, it may not produce the

intended optimum audible warning. Follow Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) recommendations.

• If sirens are not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition

exists, they cannot provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that

knowledgeable people, who are provided with the necessary information, are

available at all times to authorize the activation of the sirens.

• When sirens are used out of doors, people indoors may not be able to hear the

warning signals. Separate warning devices or procedures may be needed to

effectively warn people indoors.

• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To

prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and

restrict access to areas near sirens. Review and comply with any local or state noise

control ordinances as well as OSHA noise exposure regulations and guidelines.

• Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to

be warned are not properly trained about the meaning of siren sounds. Siren users

should follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct

actions to be taken.

Safety Messages

Modulator High-Powered Omni Speaker (MOD Series)

• After installation, service, or maintenance, test the siren system to conrm that it is

operating properly. Test the system regularly to conrm that it will be operational in

an emergency.

• If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer to,

the siren system may not provide the intended audible warning and service personnel

may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injury. File these

instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these

instructions to new recruits and trainees. Also give a copy to anyone who is going to

service or repair the siren.

Installation and Service

• Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when performing various

installation and service functions such as making electrical connections, drilling

holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore only experienced electricians should install

this product in accordance with national, state and any other electrical codes having

jurisdiction. Perform all work under the direction of the installation or service crew

safety foreman.

• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To

prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings and

restrict access to areas near the sirens. Sirens may be operated from remote control

points. Whenever possible, disconnect all siren power including batteries before

working near the siren.

• After installation or service, test the siren system to conrm that it is operating

properly. Test the system regularly to conrm that it will be operational in an

emergency.

• If future service personnel do not have these warnings and all other instructions

shipped with the equipment to refer to, the siren system may not provide the intended

audible warning and service personnel may be exposed to death, permanent hearing

loss, or other bodily injury. File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them

periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to new recruits and trainees. Also, give

a copy to anyone who is going to service or repair the sirens.

Operation

Failure to understand the capabilities and limitations of your siren system could result in

permanent hearing loss, other serious injuries or death to persons too close to the sirens

when you activate them or to those you need to warn. Carefully read and thoroughly

understand all safety notices in this manual and all operations-related-items in all

instruction manuals shipped with equipment. Thoroughly discuss all contingency plans

with those responsible for warning people in your community, company, or jurisdiction.

Read and understand the information contained in this manual before

attempting to install or service the siren.

Pay careful attention to the notice located on the equipment.

General Description

Introduction

Federal Signal Modulator Series siren products are a family of electronic sirens that are

capable of producing high-intensity warning signals over a large area. The siren consists

of a speaker array and Control/Battery Cabinets. A highly efcient design enables the

siren to produce a high-sound level while making moderate demands on the power

source.

Modulator models purchased after September 2017 are precongured to support top and

side lights kits for visual signaling options that can enhance the proven technology of the

Modulator’s intelligible voice communication and signaling.

Federal Signal omni-directional, electronic Modulator Series siren consists of aluminum

modules that use four 100-watt drivers per module. The Modulator series B is available in

several models, which have the following sound output rating at 100 feet.1See Table 1.

The MOD6032B is a 3200-watt siren that uses the MOD6024B siren conguration. The

middle two modules use eight 100-watt drivers.

The Modulator Series siren provides virtually at frequency response from

200-2000 Hertz. This gives the siren the ability to produce loud and clear voice messages

and produce a full spectrum of warning tones.

An UltraVoice Controller (Model UV) is needed for complete operation.

Features

The Modulator Speaker has the following features:

• Light-weight, compact design

• Uses Federal Signal Ultravoice® for control and amplication

• Excellent frequency response for clear voice reproduction
