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 27 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’s CAT5 communication cable. The
cable connects to the Serial Interface Module (Part Number 8583446), the Federal
Signal Six-Button Serial Controller (Part Number 8623133), the Three-Button Serial
Controller (Part Number 8623141), or the SmartSiren Series Platinum System or the
System control head only.
With the Serial Interface Module, the Valor Light Bar can be activated by Federal
Signal light bar controllers, SignalMaster directional-light controllers, or by individual
low-current switch boxes.
