Safety Messages to Installers and Users of Warning Light Equipment
People’s lives depend on your proper installation and operation of Federal Signal
products. It is important to read and follow all instructions shipped with this
product and the original product. Listed below are some other important safety
instructions and precautions you should follow:
• To properly install this light, you must have a good understanding of
automotive 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 installing equipment on a vehicle.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure that both sides of the surface are
clear of anything that could be damaged.
• For the light to function properly, a separate ground connection must be
made. If practical, it should be connected to the negative battery terminal.
At a minimum, it may be attached to a solid metal body or chassis part that
provides an effective ground path.
• Locate the light control so the VEHICLE and CONTROL can be operated safely
under all driving conditions.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity,
the tinting, and the angle of the glass it is placed behind. Tinting, dirt, defects,
and steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may
reduce the effectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty,
tinted, or steeply angles glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or
blocking the right of way with your vehicle.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light control while driving in a
hazardous situation.
• Frequently inspect the light to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is
securely attached to the vehicle.
• This product contains high-intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage, DO
NOT stare into the light beam at close range.
• After installation, test the lights to ensure that they are operating properly.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if
the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
