SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS
FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS
The lives of people depend on your proper installa-
tion and servicing of Federal products. It is impor-
tant to read and follow all instructions shipped
with the products. In addition, listed below are
some other important safety instructions and
precautions you should follow:
•
To properly install a light assembly: you must
have a good understanding of automotive
electrical procedures and systems, along with
proficiency in the installation and use of
safety warning equipment.
•
When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure
that both sides of the surface are clear of
anything that could be damaged.
•
A light system is a high current device. In
order for it to function properly, a separate
ground connection must be made. If practical,
it should be connected to the negative battery
terminal. At a minimum, it may be attached to
a solid metal body or chassis part that will
provide an effective ground path as long as the
light system is to be used.
•
Locate light system controls so the VEHICLE
and CONTROLS can be operated safely under
all driving conditions.
•
This product contains high intensity LED
devices. To prevent permanent eye damage,
DO NOT stare into the light beam at close
range.
•
You should frequently inspect the light system
to ensure that it is operating properly and that
it is securely attached to the vehicle.
•
File these instructions in a safe place and refer
to them when maintaining and/or re-installing
the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instruc-
tions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death to you or others.
I.
UNPACKING.
After unpacking the light bar, inspect it for damage that may
have occurred in transit. If the unit has been damaged, file a claim
immediately with the carrier, stating the extent of damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and tags before
removing or destroying them.
II.
INSTALLATION.
The basic light bar is completely wired at the factory and does
not require any additional internal wiring. All the conductors
necessary for control of any and all basic functions are contained in
the cable.
The basic light functions of the unit must be controlled by a
user supplied control head.

OF
WARNING
FOR
Before proceeding, ensure that the light bar has been
installed on the vehicle roof in accordance with the instructions
packed with the mounting kit. Route the light bar cable as
described below.
Light system controls must be located so that
VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely
under all driving conditions.
When installing equipment inside air bag equipped
vehicles, the installer MUST ensure that the
equipment is installed ONLY in areas recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, damage the air bag, or
potentially damage or dislodge the equipment,
causing serious injury or death to you or others.
A.
Route the control cable into the vehicle and under the
dash, near the eventual location of the user-supplied control head.
B.
For proper light operation, the control cable must be
properly terminated inside the user-supplied control head. Table 1
shows the recommended control cable wire colors for various light
bar functions. Switch current capacities should be at least 15
amps.
Any of the light bar functions can be activated by
applying 12VDC to the appropriate control line. The
black lead (-) must be connected to vehicle ground, to
perform a function check.
C.
Connect the black lead to chassis ground.
If wires are shorted to the vehicle frame or each
other, high current conductors can cause hazard-
ous sparks resulting in electrical fires and molten
metal.
Verify that no short circuits exist before connect-
ing to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery
until ALL other electrical connections are made
and mounting of all components is complete.
Failure to observe this WARNING will result in fire,
burns and blindness.
D.
Connect the light bar's red power lead to a fuse or circuit
breaker rated at 15 amperes. Connect the other side of the fuse /
circuit breaker to the +12VDC supply.
E.
Flasher Programming (see table 2).
The flasher will provide the end user with two
preselected flash patterns. The preselected flash patterns are to be
chosen from the factory programmed patterns provided with each
flasher. It is recommended that the two preselected flash patterns
be determined and programmed during installation.
