SAFETY MESSAGE TO PERSONNEL SERVICING FEDERAL
SIGNAL SIREN SPEAKERS
The lives of people depend on your proper servic-
ing of Federal products. It is important to read and
follow all instructions shipped with the products.
In addition, listed below are some other safety
instructions and precautions you should follow:
•
Read and understand all instructions in this manual
before servicing the electronic siren or speaker.
•
To properly service an electronic siren or speaker:
you must have a good understanding of automotive
electrical procedures and systems, along with profi-
ciency in the installation and service of safety warn-
ing equipment. Always refer to the vehicle’s service
manuals when performing service on a vehicle.
•
Electronic circuit and speaker repairs must be per-
formed by a qualified and competent electronic tech-
nician.
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to
your emergency vehicle, could be damaged by loud
sounds. This can occur from short exposures to very
loud sounds, or from longer exposures to moderately
loud sounds. For hearing conservation guidance, re-
fer to federal, state, or local recommendations. OSHA
Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on “Permissible
Noise Exposure.”
•
All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds
(120 dB) that may cause permanent hearing loss.
Always minimize your exposure to siren sound and
wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren in-
doors or in enclosed areas where you and others will
be exposed to the sound.
•
DO NOT connect this system to the positive termi-
nal of the battery until servicing is complete, and
you have verified that there are no short circuits to
ground.
•
In order for the electronic siren to function prop-
erly, the ground connection must be made to the
NEGATIVE battery terminal.
•
After repair, test the electronic siren and speaker
system to ensure that it is operating properly.
•
Federal Signal siren amplifiers and speakers are
designed to work together as a system. Combining a
siren and speaker from different manufacturers may
reduce the warning effectiveness of the siren system
and may damage the components. You should verify
or test your combination to make sure the system
works together properly and meets both federal,
state and local standards and guidelines.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in property damage, serious injury,
or death to you or others.
Opening the unit will void the warranty. This speaker itself
has no field serviceable parts. The factory can and will service your
speaker. If you are experiencing problems with the speaker, send it
to:
