Touchmaster™ Siren & Public Address Systems
  • Simplified switching controls for eyes-free ease of use.
  • Automatic Component Protection (ACP®) prevents damage to the siren in the event a speaker short-circuits.
Federal Signal's Touchmaster™ series of siren and public address systems, manufactured by Unitrol®, provides the ultimate in reliability and ease of use. The simplified switching controls virtually eliminate fumbling for push buttons or switches while on a call or in pursuit. All Touchmaster models feature five siren sounds (Yelp, Wail, Hi-Lo, Ultra Hi-Lo®, and Hetro®), horn ring transfer, SWEEP/LOCK®, Siren Kill, air horn, alarm, direct access P.A., flashing indicator lights, dimmable panel lights, audible "Clicker" indicator, and ACP technology.

Models for Every Need
Standard models are available, from either a basic toggle switch to a slide-bar for complete warning equipment control. Further customization can be achieved with optional features. TM1 and TM2 series models include a toggle switch that can operate a warning light or headlight flasher. TM3 and TM4 series models come with Unitrol's reliable 60 amp slide-bar, which performs without internal or external relays, and can control any arrangement of lights and the siren. TM2 and TM4 series models also have auxiliary switches that can be used to control accessories.

P.A./Air Horn Only Systems
Several Touchmaster models are available without siren features. These units provide public address, air horn, and warning light controls. They are:
UTMPA1 PA/Air Horn system.
UTMPA2 PA/Air Horn system with 4 on/off switches.
UTMPA3 PA/Air Horn system with control for 2 warning lights.
UTMPA4 PA/Air Horn system with 1 warning light switch and 4 on/off switches.
UTMPA5 PA/Air Horn system with slide-bar warning light control.
UTMPA6 PA/Air Horn system with slide-bar warning light control and 4 on/off switches.

All of the full-featured Touchmaster models are listed below with a description of their individual characteristics.

Automatic Component Protection
By constantly checking for short-circuits, Automatic Component Protection (ACP) stops damage to Touchmaster sirens should a speaker fail. Remove the short and operation returns to normal • no need to replace fuses, output transistors, or reset the siren.

SWEEP and LOCK Modes
These special features built into the Touchmaster increase convenience and speed siren mode changes. SWEEP mode makes the siren warning more noticeable by cycling through each of three sounds in six second intervals. The LOCK mode also speeds siren sound changes. With the siren activated, LOCK changes WAIL to continuous Yelp and HI-LO to continuous Hetro® until the original sound is restored with a tap of the horn ring. With Siren Kill, all siren sound is shut off automatically when the vehicle is shifted into Park, but all warning lights and PA/Radio functions remain active.

Additional Features
All Touchmaster models allow broadcast of two-way radio messages over the loudspeaker. (An optional feature, mic adapter, allows the radio microphone to be used for public address.) During non-pursuit conditions, the BYPASS switch allows the operator to use the siren without activating the warning lights. For take-home and K-9 vehicles, the Touchmaster Alert feature supplies a special non-siren Alarm tone which warns of tampering or of high temperature within the vehicle.

Installation
Touchmaster units are designed for quick and easy installation. Mounting brackets are cast to allow the siren to slide out after just a couple turns of the screws. All connections are individually labeled for identification, making installation a snap.
