Safety Messages to Installers Warning Light Equipment
People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing 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:
Before Installation or Service
Qualifications
• To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good understanding of automotive mechanical
and 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 equipment installations on a vehicle.
Light Hazards
• In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be hazardous to your
eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close range or
permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.
• Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair or blind the driver’s vision. Ensure that the
light system is mounted in a position that is outside of the driver’s field of vision, so the driver can maintain
safe vehicle operation.
• Federal Signal power supplies and lightheads are designed to work together as a system. Combining
lightheads and a power supply from different manufacturers may reduce the warning effectiveness of the
lighting system and may damage the components. You should verify or test your combination to make sure
the system works together and meets federal, state and local standards or guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
• A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly, a separate negative (-)
connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the
negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as
close to the battery as possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device and system
amperage requirements.
• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the vehicle wiring, without reviewing a
vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that your installation will not effect
vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper operation
after installation.
• The lighting system components, especially LEDs and the outer housing, get hot during operation. Be sure
to disconnect power to the system and allow the system to cool down before handling any components of the
system.
• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches of the lighting system. Placing the antenna too close to
the lighting system could cause the lighting system to malfunction or be damaged by strong radio fields.
Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system may also cause the radio noise emitted from the
lighting system to interfere with the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.
• Do not attempt to wash this or any other electrical device while it is connected to its power source. Exposure
to liquid while the product is connected to the power source may result in an electrical shock and personal
injury and may short circuit and damage the product.
