Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel of Warning Lights
Before Installation or Service
Qualifications
• To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good understanding of
automotive mechanical and electrical procedures and systems, along with proficiency
in the installation and service of safety warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle’s
service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
Light Hazards
• In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can
be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly
into this lighting product at a close range, or permanent damage to your eyesight may
occur.
• Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair, or blind the driver’s
vision. Ensure that the light system is mounted in a position that is outside of the
driver’s field of vision so the driver can maintain safe vehicle operation.
• Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed to work together as
a system. Combining light heads and a power supply from different manufacturers
may reduce the warning effectiveness of the lighting system and may damage the
components. Verify or test your combination to make sure the system works together
and meets federal, state, and local standards or guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
• Strobe systems present a shock hazard because they use high voltage to operate.
Do not handle strobe cables, the power supply or bulbs or remove the lens while the
equipment is connected. Strobe systems can also hold their charge even after they
have been turned off. After disconnecting power to the unit, wait five minutes before
handling any parts of the strobe system.
• A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly,
a separate negative (-) connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All
negative connections should be connected to the negative battery terminal and a
suitable fuse should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as close
to the battery as possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle
the device and system amperage requirements.
