matching features in the base. Slide the assembly until
the wider, rear tabs snap into their matching holders.
11. Replace the dome (unless multiple
controllers are to be used with this light. See section D).
12. Connect the light’s black wire to a known
good vehicle ground.
13. Connect the light’s red wire to one side of
an installer-supplied fuse holder. Connect the other
side of the fuse holder to a suitable, positive source of
power that is switched by the key(recommended) or the
positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s battery (a switch
rated for 10 amps is recommended to enable control of
the power to the light). Install a six (6) amp fuse in the
fuse holder.

Pipe Mount Models.
1. Route the light’s wires through the pipe
that will be used for mounting the light. If they need
to be extended, use 16 gauge wire. For long runs, select
heavier gauge wire.
2. Screw the flange mount light onto the pipe.
Position the light with the dome release button toward
the rear.
3. Connect the light’s black wire to a known
good vehicle ground.
4. Connect the light’s red wire to one side of a
user-supplied fuse holder. Connect the other side of the
fuse holder to a suitable, positive source of power that
is switched by the key(recommended) or the positive (+)
terminal of the vehicle’s battery (a switch rated for 10
amps is recommended). Install a six (6) amp fuse in the
fuse holder.
C.
Magnetic Mount Models.
Magnetic mounting provides a secure,
temporary mounting method for most installations.
However, it is not intended for use on the exterior of a
moving vehicle.
Because vehicle roof construction and
driving conditions vary, Federal Signal
does not recommend driving a vehicle
with a magnetically mounted warning
light installed. The light could fly off the
vehicle causing injury or damage. Repair
of damage incurred because of ignoring
this warning shall be the sole responsibil-
ity of the user. Holding power of magnetic
mounting systems is dependent upon sur-
face finish, surface flatness, and thickness
of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to
promote proper magnetic mounting:
• Mounting surface and magnets must
be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign
particles that prevent good surface
contact.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is
flat.
• Magnet mounting system should not be
used on vehicles with vinyl tops.
• To prevent sliding of light assembly on
mounting surface, quick acceleration
and hard stops should be avoided.
• If the light is to be held directly to the
roof by the magnet, ensure that the
power cable is not under the magnet.
1. Place the light assembly on a level steel
surface. Ensure that the light is placed to promote
maximum coverage and range of the work light.
2. Insert the plug on the end of the power cord
into the cigar lighter socket.
3. Use the power switch at the plug to turn
power on and off when not needed. A pilot light on the
switch will illuminate when the power is on.
NOTE
The lighter plug has an integral fuse and power
switch. The switch may be used to remove power
from the light. If direct connection to the power
source (not utilizing the cigar lighter plug) is
desired, a user-supplied inline fuse holder and
eight-ampere fuse must be installed in the
power cord’s ribbed (positive) lead.

Transmitter Set Up.
Refer to figure 3. Insert two AA alkaline
batteries as shown to match the illustration on the pc
board.
