SAFETY MESSAGE TO PERSONNEL SERVICING FEDERAL
SIGNAL SIREN SPEAKERS
WARNING
The lives of people depend on your proper servicing of
Federal products. It is important to read and follow all
instructions shipped with the products. In addition,
listed below are some other safety instructions and
precautions you should follow:
•
Read and understand all instructions in this manual
before servicing the electronic siren or speaker.
•
To properly service an electronic siren or speaker: 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 performing service on a vehicle.
•
Electronic circuit and speaker repairs must be
performed by a qualified and competent electronic
technician.
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to
your emergency vehicle, could be damaged by loud
sounds. This can occur from short exposures to very
loud sounds, or from longer exposures to moderately
loud sounds. For hearing conservation guidance, refer
to federal, state, or local recommendations. OSHA
Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on “Permissible
Noise Exposure.”
•
All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds
(120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing loss.
Always minimize your exposure to siren sound and
wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren
indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will
be exposed to the sound.
•
DO NOT connect this system to the positive terminal
of the battery until servicing is complete, and you
have verified that there are no short circuits to
ground.
•
In order for the electronic siren to function properly,
the ground connection must be made to the NEGA-
TIVE battery terminal.
•
After repair, test the electronic siren and speaker
system to ensure that it is operating properly.
•
Federal Signal siren amplifiers and speakers are
designed to work together as a system. Combining a
siren and speaker from different manufacturers may
reduce the warning effectiveness of the siren system
and may damage the components. You should verify or
test your combination to make sure the system works
together properly and meets both federal, state and
local standards or guidelines.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions
may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you
or others.
