Siren Controller
Model FC

The Federal Signal Controller Model FC is a 120VAC radio receiv-

er/decoder and timer with relay outputs. This versatile model is
ideal for virtually all siren control applications and any other
ECONOMICAL, FULL-FEATURED process which can be controlled via relay contacts.
SIREN CONTROLLER The microprocessor-based controller comes with two-tone
sequential, dual-tone multiple frequency (DTMF), or frequency
shift keying (FSK) decoding capabilities, and up to four

• Six built-in siren tone signals
The Federal Controller is used to control Federal Signal siren
Models 2, 2001 and STH10. Also, the unit can be used to add
radio activation of indoor PA and SelecTone® systems, to control
warning lights, or to replace existing and outdated electro-
mechanical timing mechanisms for existing systems.
