An Overview of the Valor Light Bar
The Valor Light Bar is a single-level LED light bar with ROC™ (Reliable On-Board
Circuitry) and Solaris® LED technologies. ROC™ eliminates approximately 85 percent
of potential failure points by incorporating a printed circuit board (PCB) in one
assembly to substantially reduce the number of electrical connections. Solaris S2 LED
modules use offset, complex reflector surfaces for accurate beam-shaping and the
highest optical efficiency. The reflectors’ overlapping, 360-degree lighting eliminates
weak spots and provides off-axis warning around the light bar. The light bar is shaped
to provide maximum intersection warning, the most dangerous situation in moving
traffic.
LED Lights, Colors, and Flash Patterns
The light bar’s internal microprocessor supplies three priority operational modes
and a library of flash patterns. To increase the safety of officers, pedestrians, and
motorists, the light bar has standard front and rear cutoff, dimming, and intersection
warning. Bright white LED takedown and alley lights that are horizontally adjustable
are also available with the HotFoot™ configured option.
Multi-color heads are available with up to three different colored LEDs, eliminating the
loss of primary warning colors in takedown, alley, and directional warning positions.
Individual Valor lightheads can flash between red, blue, amber, or white.
Modular Connector System
The Valor Light Bar has a waterproof (IP67) external connector system for power and
communication to allow removal of the light bar from the vehicle without opening the
light bar or the vehicle hood. The Valor is protected against reversed polarity damage.
The Valor Light Bar may be installed in any vehicle with a 12-volt negative ground
electrical system.
Controller Options
Flash patterns are controlled through the light bar CAT5 communication cable.
The cable connects to Federal Signal Convergence network controllers, or the
Convergence Serial Interface Module (Part Number 858303641).
With the Serial Interface Module, the light bar can be activated by Federal Signal light
bar controllers, SignalMaster
®
directional-light controllers, or by individual low-current
switch boxes.
Other advanced features of the Valor Light Bar include:
• A high degree of reliability through the use of advanced microprocessors and other
integrated circuits.
• One piece seamless construction that eliminates leaking bulkhead gaskets.
• High output, long-life LEDs with no bulbs to change.
