SO,
Just got a howler system installed and I am having problems. I will call whelen in the morning, but I wanted to see if anyone else had issues like this.
Install is on a 2013 Chevy Silverado.
Siren is a Rontan IS3000 Intelligent siren
Speakers are Rontan CS11 -100w (11ohm) - running 2 of them.
Siren works great and is extremly loud, can run it all day.
Installed howler, using the speaker + and Speaker - of the rontan output to the howler input, then 4 wires from the howler output to the howler speakers, (speaker 1, speaker 1 common, speaker 2, speaker 2 common - commons are ultrasonically welded together inside the distribution center).
Activate the howler, and it does great, UNTILL I switch siren tones, then the siren shuts down and gives me a fault of " Short Circuit in the Siren output
or temperature overload." It ONLY happens when I switch tones, AND ONLY when i have the howler activated. if the howler is not activated, I can run the siren all day.
Anyone else experienced these types of issues? any solutions?
Just so you know too, We have plenty of power to the the unit, (1/O) main wire to fuse block, fuse block to howler. 1/0 Ground direct to frame. Harness is all ultrasoniclly welded together. Holwer speakers are PHASED correctly with the regular speakers...
Could it be a deffective Howler?? Like I said it works good, untill I switch tones.
Thanks!
