Batboard

Has anyone made a remote mount for a PA300/PA200/PA1000???

I have a customer who is asking for this.

Just thought I would check with the board to see if anyone had attempted this or if anyone knows of a kit that may be avaliable.

Thanks in advance......

Dash mount all the way.

Wes -

I created a "remote" some years ago by parallelling a rotary switch and a toggle switch to the existing switches in the PA-300. Power was turned on/off remotely. As far as I know it is still working.

Andy,

thats kinda what I am thinking....something along those lines....

I have this installed in my truck right know. Its very simple to do..

Now the model of pa300 i have this done too is the older model. their new models are all surface mount technology an the front of the siren is all mounted on a circuit board. I havent done this to a new one yet.
with that said the siren use a control voltage of 6 volts i believe to activate each function wail,yelp,hi/lo,airhorn,man,radio, now all you got to do is figure out what options you want to use or not use an go from their. I just wanted the airhorn function an wail/yelp an radio I didnt want to use hi/lo cause i hate euaropean sirens with a passion an despise that tone. i use a simple spectra siren switch this is used on the handheld controlhead. modifiied the curciut board for a momentary push switch for the airhorn.
Your tap in to the 6 volt source right from the airhorn swich i use a 5 lead multi conductor cable to run the wires. u just soldered each lead to what function i wanted. you dont have to remove any of the wires from the original switch if you dont want to. then wired then to my remote switch. 3 position toggle for the siren tones wail off yelp. an walla you have your remote pa300. an you can use the siren either remote or at the unit.

kb9suy,

Thanks for the tips........ Sounds easy enough, I know someone out there had thught of this before me.
