SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS
OF
FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS
WARNING
People’s lives depend on your safe installa-
tion of our products. It is important to
read, understand and follow all instruc-
tions shipped with the products. In addi-
tion, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
•
To properly install a light assembly:
you must have a good understanding of
automotive electrical procedures and
systems, along with proficiency in the
installation and use of safety warning
equipment.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure,
be sure that both sides of the surface
are clear of anything that could be
damaged.
•
A light system is a high current device.
In order for it to function properly, a
separate ground connection must be
made. If practical, it should be con-
nected to the negative battery termi-
nal. At a minimum, it may be attached
to a solid metal body or chassis part
that will provide an effective ground
path as long as the light system is to be
used.
•
Locate light system controls so the
VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be
operated safely under all driving
conditions.
•
This product contains high intensity
LED devices. To prevent permanent
eye damage, DO NOT stare into the
light beam at close range.
•
You should frequently inspect the light
system to ensure that it is operating
properly and that it is securely at-
tached to the vehicle.
•
File these instructions in a safe place
and refer to them when maintaining
and/or re-installing the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in property damage,
serious injury, or death to you or others.
I.
UNPACKING.
After unpacking the light bar, inspect it for damage
that may have occurred in transit. If the unit has been
damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier,
stating the extent of damage. Carefully check all
envelopes, shipping labels and tags before removing or
destroying them.
II.
INSTALLATION.
The basic light bar is completely wired at the
factory and does not require any additional internal
wiring. All the conductors necessary for control of any
and all basic and optional functions are contained in the
cable. Installation of options will require additional
wiring in the light bar.
The basic light functions of the unit must be con-
trolled by a user supplied control head.
Before proceeding, ensure that the light bar has
been installed on the vehicle roof in accordance with the
instructions packed with the mounting kit. Route the
light bar cable as described below.
WARNING
Light system controls must be located so
that VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be
operated safely under all driving condi-
tions.
WARNING
When installing equipment inside air bag
equipped vehicles, the installer MUST
ensure that the equipment is installed
ONLY in areas recommended by the ve-
hicle manufacturer.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce
the effectiveness of the air bag, damage the
air bag, or potentially damage or dislodge
the equipment, causing serious injury or
death to you or others.
A. Route the control cable into the vehicle and
under the dash, near the eventual location of the user-
supplied control head.
B. For proper light operation, the control cable
must be properly terminated inside the user-supplied
control head. Using figures 1 and 2 as a guide, select the
appropriate wiring diagram for your model and com-
plete the applicable electrical connections for the
