4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
Once properly installed and connected to a power source, the device is ready for operation. The siren alarm typically activates upon receiving a signal from a connected system or through its internal controls, if applicable. There is no explicit on/off switch on the unit itself, implying activation is controlled externally or by its internal logic.
4.2 Adjusting Volume and Tone
The industrial siren alarm features controls for adjusting the sound volume and selecting from various alarm tones.
- Volume Adjustment: Locate the knob or button on the side of the unit designated for volume control. Rotate or press to adjust the sound level, which is adjustable from 0 to 180dB.
- Tone Selection: The device offers 6 optional alarm tones. Use the tone selection control (typically a knob or switch near the volume control) to cycle through and select the desired alarm tone.
- Custom Voice (USB Port): A USB port is available for advanced users to set up custom voice messages. Connect a USB device to this port to upload or configure personalized audio. Refer to the device's internal software interface or specific instructions for detailed guidance on custom voice setup.
