I.
GENERAL.
The Federal SignalMaster™ Model 330132 is an
economical, low profile, solid state, directional light control
that is designed to operate with the Federal Signal six-
lamp directional light assembly. The unit is reversed
polarity protected to avoid damage if the positive and
negative power connections are connected incorrectly.
This model provides three distinctive directional
signals: left arrow, right arrow, and center out. In addition,
an alternating flash pattern produces a warning signal for
use when a directional signal may not be appropriate.
When a directional signal is selected, the lamps are
individually illuminated in a sequential sweeping motion
until all six lamps are illuminated.
