SAFETY MESSAGES TO INSTALLING AND WIRING
: Products should be installed by a licensed electrician and
follow all safety instructions. Failure to do so may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. When installing
and operating the stations, the relevant national regulations for installation and operation (e.g., EN60079-14, IEC Wiring
Regulations, and NEC/CEC) along with any additional national and local codes/requirements must be observed.
•
To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is applied. Failure to observe this warning may
lead to serious injury or death.
•
Painting and surface finishes, other than those applied by Federal Signal Corporation, are not permitted.
•
Wiring terminations should be in accordance with specifications within this manual and required by national
and local requirements, depending on the application. Federal Signal recommends that all wiring leads be fully
identified.
•
In all countries, the wiring must comply with all national and local codes and standards.
•
Ensure that all hardware connections are secure. Stainless steel fasteners must be used in corrosive environment
applications mounting the station to a rigid surface.

Ensure that all cable glands and stopping plugs are certified with a suitable sealing washer/o-ring to ensure the
NEMA/IP rating of the station.
•
The internal earth ground terminal must be used for equipment grounding where and when required.
