how to set 6th button on touchmaster delta to sweep tone

[blulightandabat]

looking to install this with the momentary set on the 6th switch. now ive tested each screw terminal yet none put out power when this is pushed. i believe this button is set differently as i know with some tinkering different things can be done with these sirens dip switches and jumpers etc. if anyone could shed some insight on my problem that would be great. thanks.


Also i have the pdf install file no need to post that thanks.

You need to open up the unit and there is a series of selector switches. Go to Federal Signal or google "installing federal signal delta siren" and it should take you to an instruction manual which will show which "dip switch" you need to move.

i believe i had pulled this siren apart a few years ago the 2nd board had no dip switches on it

Switch 6 (RLS) is intended for a gun lock, so it has a separate ignition control wire. Connect the thin yellow IGNITION wire to +12V, and you should get switched output at terminal 2.


OR, some units have an internal jumper to allow operation of Switch 6 without ignition.


OR, there are jumpers to select momentary operation for buttons 1 and 5 as well (ignition wire not required for these).


Whatever works for you.

would anyone know what the location of said jumpers?

When you take the cover off, with the unit facing towards you you will see a white plug right behind the second button. To the left of the plug is a set of 3 jumpers (at least that is where they are on mine). If buttons 1 and 5 are latching, then the first two jumpers from right to left will have black black "caps" on them. the 3rd one is for #6. It should not have a cap on it if you want it to be a momentary switch.





If you look, I have a blue cap on the jumper for #6 so it will be latching. Page 9 of the manual somewhat shows the location.

I know this works, it's how I did it in the FOP Expedition I built last month. Set the button to momentary with the jumpers, NOT dip switches, and test on both horn ring terminals to determine which one is the correct one.

If I remember right, it is horn ring terminal 12.

It works. That's what I did to a Delta back in 07. The siren I replaced was a PA300 and a six button controller. So nothing was ever hooked to a horn ring. And I didn't want to experiment and find the horn wires so I just ran a short wire from the RLS switch to the horn ring input.


Worked like a charm and I was able to use the sweep. And also Works as a manual. I loved it.
