Overview
The Federal Signal Viper SignalMaster is a directional light assembly for use in a flashing mode. The
lens colors available are amber (standard) and red.
The Viper SignalMaster provides two distinctive directional signals: left arrow and right arrow. 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 eight lamps are illuminated. The brake module, which operates
independently from the control module, is located at the center of the light bar.
These lights are for secondary warning only. They are not for use as a primary warning
system. Failure to use these lights as intended may cause property damage, personal injury,
or death.

Installing the Viper SignalMaster Light Assembly
STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE: The circuitry can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD, observe anti-static procedures during installation.
Install the light assembly as described in the instructions included with the mounting kit. Route the
cables to the planned location of the control unit.
Installing the Control Unit and Completing the Wiring
UNIT REQUIRES VENTILATION: The control unit needs to radiate heat. Do not install it in an
area where it cannot dissipate heat into the air. Do not mount the unit near a heater duct or
under the hood.
NOTE:
Plan all wiring and cable routing before selecting a mounting location for the control unit.
1.
Install the control unit and complete the wiring as described in the instructions included with the
control unit.
REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRNG: Reverse polarity or incorrect voltage may damage the light.
To avoid damage to the light, ensure that the battery voltage is the same as the voltage rating
of the light and that the correct polarity is observed.
