I do not know that this would help; however this is what I did
I was a volunteer fireman several years ago and the only siren I had was 6
volt, and my truck was 12 volt, I purchased some "voltage reducers" which
were a ceramic device with a coil made into them, you put 12 in one side and
got less on the other, I had to use 3 of them in series before the output
voltage on last was 6 volts, I do not know all there is to know about this,
only that I used it for several years without any difficulties with siren or
with truck electrical system

Subject: [MV] 24volt to 12 volt converter
A few days ago someone posted a link to a site that had a 24 volt to 12 volt
converter with a sustained load of 25 amps. I have lost the link could you
repost?
I am with a volunteer fire department that has been given a 5ton m927 we are
making into a tanker, That is coming along very well.
We have seen the options on roscommons site for 12 volt changes. We were
originally going to go right off the last battery to run a 2way radio and
some warning lights. But if the converter is reliable we would use one.
What suggestions do you have?
Thanks
