SC-1002 / 1012 / 1022-10 14 Installation Instructions  
MOUNTING (Main unit)  
The mounting bracket supplied can be installed above  
or below the unit. Mounting bolts slide into channels  
on each side of the case. Lockwashers should be  
used between the case and bracket as well as be-  
tween the bracket and nut. Choose a mounting loca-  
tion convenient to the operator and away from any air  
bag deployment areas. Inspect behind mounting area  
for clearance. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent  
overheating. Consider wire routing and access to  
connections. Install mounting bracket to vehicle using  
1/4" hardware (not supplied).

SC-1012 Remote Panel: The remote panel of the SC-1012 is typically mounted underneath the  
vehicle dashboard using mounting hardware (not supplied). Mount the panel in a location away  
from the driver’s or passenger’s legs.  
SC-1022 Hand Control: Choose a mounting location convenient to the operator and away from  
any air bag deployment areas. Consider cable routing to amplifier. Mount the hand control with  
supplied Hook and Loop tape (VELCRO). If the tape method is not preferred, the hand control  
may be mounted several ways. A Holster (CP5003) to hold the Hand Control or a Hanger and

SC-1002 / 1012 / 1022-10 14 Installation Instructions  
Page 7 of 16  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
Electrical connections to the unit are made using terminal block plugs and screw terminals located  
on the amplifier. Labels on the unit identify each terminal function. Install the plug on the unit  
before wiring. If the unit needs service the plug can be easily removed without unwiring. The  
power supply of the unit must be capable of delivering peak currents up to 50 amps for adequate  
short circuit protection and reliable operation. The preferred source is directly at the vehicle bat-  
tery. The amplifier is fused.  
Attach leads by stripping 3/8”, inserting into plug and clamp by tightening screw. Make sure the  
screw is tight and the wire can’t be pulled out.  
Failure to adequately tighten the screw can result in improper operation or burning the  
connector and wire.  
Wire Size and Termination - The diagram shows the minimum wire size used for each connec-  
tion, along with recommended lead color. If the wire is longer than 10 ft. use the next larger wire  
size. Use only high quality crimp connectors for installation on the vehicle.  
Unit Enable Input Connection (ORG lead on wiring diagram next page) - This is NOT the same  
as the main power connection. The unit enable is like a power switch for the unit. When there  
is positive power at this connection, the unit is powered up and ready to function. Likewise when  
power is removed, the unit is not powered up and will not drain current from the battery. Connect  
to a positive circuit controlled by the vehicle ignition switch, usually a terminal at the vehicle fuse  
panel. The required current is low (15mA typ.).  
Note: The unit may also be configured to power up without this connection on SC-1002 / 1012.  
See Instant ON under OPTION SWITCHES section.  
Note: This connection must be used on SC-1022.  
Auxiliary Input Connection (Optional) - A momentary input typically connected to the horn ring  
of the vehicle or other switch. See OPERATION section for auxiliary input functions.  
The auxiliary input may be activated with positive or negative voltage. See Auxiliary Polarity  
under OPTION SWITCHES section for proper activation polarity. Input current is 1 to 20 mA.

SERVICE  
This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst conditions. Many  
times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the true problem is in the speaker,  
controlled devices, or improper installation. The following chart shows typical symptoms and  
possible causes.  
A blown siren fuse doesn't necessarily mean that the unit is bad. If a speaker or speaker lead is  
shorted the fuse will blow before the unit is damaged. Disconnect the SPKR leads and replace  
the fuse. If the OUTPUT light comes on with siren power enabled and Wail mode selected it is  
OK. Check the speaker or leads for possible shorting.
