The safety messages presented in this chapter and throughout the manual are reminders to exercise extreme care at all times. In addition, read and understand the safety instructions to installers (doc. no. 256A692), and keep it close at hand for reference. To download copies of this manual, go to www.fedsig.com or call the Federal Signal Service Department at 1-800-433-9132, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (CT). People s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing of Federal Signal products. It is important to read and follow all instructions shipped with this product. In addition, listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow: Before Installation or Service Qualifications To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good understanding of automotive mechanical and electrical procedures and systems along with proficiency in the installation and service of safety warning equipment. Always refer to the vehicle s service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle. Light Hazards To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur. Do not install the light system in an area that would block, impair, or blind the driver s vision. Ensure that the light system is mounted in a position that is outside of the driver s field of vision, so the driver can safely operate the vehicle. Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed to work together as a system. Combining light heads and a power supply from different manufacturers may reduce the warning effectiveness of the lighting system and may damage the components. You should verify or test your combination to ensure the system works together and meets federal, state, and local standards or guidelines. Electrical Hazards The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the outer housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to disconnect power to the system and allow the system to cool down before handling any components of the system. 5

Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators A light system is a high current system. In order for the system to function properly, a separate negative ( ) connection and positive (+) connection must be made. All negative connections should be connected to the negative battery terminal and a suitable fuse should be installed on the positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to handle the device and system amperage requirements. Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects to the vehicle wiring without reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that your installation will not affect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper operation after installation. Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the lighting system. Placing the antenna too close to the lighting system could cause the lighting system to malfunction or be damaged by strong radio fields. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system may also cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere with the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio reception. Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is connected to its power source. During Installation and Service DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product can cause the system to fail. If drilling must be done near the unit, place an ESD-approved cover over the unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings present in or near the unit. DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are made, mounting of all components is complete, and you have verified that no shorts exist. If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or flying molten metal. DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the deployment path of an airbag. If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment. Before mounting any components, check the manual to be sure that the component you are installing is suitable for use in that area of the vehicle. Many components are not suitable for use in the engine compartment or other extreme environmental exposure areas. When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all drilled holes through which wiring passes. Also, ensure that the mounting screws do not cause electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle. Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper electrical connections, additional precautions,and information. Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle with a magnetically mounted warning light installed. The light could fly off the vehicle causing injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this warning shall be the sole responsibility of the user. To avoid denting the roof of the vehicle, place the lightbar mounting feet as close to the outer edge of the roof as possible. 6

Chapter 1: Safety Messages for Installers and Operators Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten adjustment bolts 10 ft-lb to 11 ft-lb to prevent the lightbar from sliding front-to-back when pulling on the mounting bracket. Install keeper plates. Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all driving conditions. After Installation or Service After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is operating properly. Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit. Scratched or dull reflectors, mirrors, or lenses will reduce the effectiveness of the lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and use of caustic or petroleum based products when cleaning the lighting system. Replace any optical components that may have been scratched or crazed during system installation. Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a hazardous situation. You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is securely attached to the vehicle. After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to instructional staff and all operating personnel. 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 instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. RETAIN AND REFER TO THIS MESSAGE 7

CHAPTER 2 An Overview of the The is a single-level LED lightbar 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 is available in eight-head and four-head models, for both front and rear. LED Lights, Colors, and Flash Patterns The lightbar 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 lightbar has standard dimming and intersection warning. Multi-color heads are available with up to three different colored LEDs, eliminating the loss of primary warning colors in takedown and directional warning positions. Individual lightheads can flash between red, blue, amber, or white. The lightbar operates at a nominal input of 13.6 Vdc (11 Vdc minimum) and an operating temperature range of 30 C to +65 C. The functions of the SignalMaster are controlled through the CAT5 serial communication cable. The cable connects to either a compatible Federal Signal Serial control head or a Federal Signal Serial Interface Module (P/N 8583446). An internal PCB assembly within the lightbar decodes the control data and performs the requested function. With the Serial Interface Module, the lightbar can be activated by Federal Signal lightbar controllers, SignalMaster controllers, and/or individual low-current switches. The housing is an anodized aluminum extrusion. The lightbar has 15 ft power and ground cables and a 25 ft serial cable. Universal mounting hardware is supplied; vehicle specific mounting hardware is also available separately 8

CHAPTER 3 Installing the After unpacking the, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If it has been damaged, do not install it.

Before permanently installing the lightbar or a two-way radio antenna, test the warning system and two-way radio system. DO NOT install a two-way radio antenna on the lightbar. Some installations may require relocation of the two-way radio antenna to a trunk or fender location. DO NOT DRILL INTO LIGHTBAR The warning system may fail if additional holes are drilled in the lightbar or if auxiliary devices are installed on the lightbar. DO NOT drill additional holes in the lightbar or install auxiliary devices on the lightbar. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or death to you or others. Before proceeding, ensure that the lightbar has been installed inside the vehicle in accordance with the instructions included with the mounting kit. NOTE: The DIP switch on the lightbar s control PCB provides three selectable options. To change DIP switch selections, refer to Setting Configuration Options on page 13. The is completely wired at the factory and does not require any additional internal wiring. Two 16 AWG power conductors (red and black) and the CAT5 communication cable exit the lightbar. The conductors necessary to control the lightbar are contained in the CAT5 cable, which connects to a compatible Federal Signal control head or to the Serial Interface Module. 10

Chapter 3: Installing the BATTERY EXPLOSION To avoid a battery explosion, always disconnect the negative battery first and reconnect it last. Avoid causing a spark when connecting near or to the battery. The gases produced by a battery can cause a battery explosion that could result in vehicle damage and personal injury. SEAT REMOVAL PRECAUTION If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury or death. To wire the lightbar in the vehicle: REVERSE POLARITY / MISWIRING Reverse polarity may damage the lightbar and prevent operation. To avoid damage to the lightbar, ensure that the battery voltage is the same as the voltage of the lightbar and that the correct polarity is observed. The lightbar must be fused at the source. 1. Ensure that the lines are adequately fused. From the lightbar, route the CAT5 control cable into the vehicle s cab or trunk near the planned location of a control head that is compatible with the lightbar or Serial Interface Module. NOTE: An input cable (24-pin harness) is provided with the Serial Interface Module. For connections, see document P/N 2562248. 2. Route and connect the 16 AWG black lead to the vehicle battery s ground ( NEG) terminal. 3. Route and connect the 16 AWG red lead through the user-supplied 15 A fuse at the source to the positive (+BAT) terminal. Wiring the SignalMaster Function The SignalMaster directional warning function is configured at the factory and does not require any additional wiring inside the lightbar. All conductors necessary for control of the SignalMaster are through the compatible serial communication control head or the Serial Interface Module. For wiring and operation, refer to the instructions included with the control head or document P/N 2562248 included with the Serial Interface Module. The SignalMaster function is not available for front-facing models. Wiring the Lightbar Controls Both the Federal Signal serial control head and the Serial Interface Module provide the controls in Table 3.2 on page 12 to the lightbar. The table shows the corresponding control wires from the Serial Interface Module and their colors. The wire s first color is the predominant color and additional colors are stripes. For programming options, see the instructions included with the Interface Module or the Federal Signal serial control head. 11

Chapter 3: Installing the Setting Configuration Options The has three configuration options that are selectable with DIP switches on the lightbar s control board. Table 3.3 describes the options. See Figure 3.2 on page 14 for the locations of DIP switches on the controller PCBA in the. Table 3.3 DIP switch settings DIP Switch Position SW1 SW2 SW3 Description of Option Sets an 8-head (OFF) or 6-head (ON) with DIP Switch 3 OFF (REAR). With Switch 3 ON (Front), Switch 1 sets the lightheads that turn on when a Steady Burn input is applied. The default position for Switch 1 is OFF for driver-side/passenger-side Steady Burn (Positions 2, 6) of the Front. Turn Switch 1 to ON for driver-side only Steady Burn (Position 2). DIP Switch 2 switches between lighthead colors. To get amber SignalMaster patterns in LED lighthead assemblies, including White/Amber, Blue/White/Amber, or Red/White/Amber, DIP Switch 2 must be ON. Otherwise the lightbar will flash color combinations that do not include amber. Switch 3 has three functions: Activating a front-mounted or rear-mounted Performing an LED scan to ensure that an LED board flashes the correct colors after it is installed. Changing the Device ID to enable the to operate independently of the lightbar (available with the SmartSiren Platinum Configuration Software). Choosing to Activate a Front- or Rear-Mounted To activate a front-mounted, set Switch 3 ON. To activate a rear-mounted, set Switch 3 OFF. Performing an LED Scan When an LED board is changed, an LED scan must be done to enable the LED board to flash the correct colors. To perform the scan: 1. Disconnect the red power (BAT+) wire to the and maintain power to the control head. 2. Change the position of DIP Switch 3 and turn power ON to the. The CN SignalMaster emits a short flash to indicate the LED scan is done. 3. To return DIP Switch 3 to its original function, repeat the scan. Changing the Device ID The default setting for the is to respond to lightbar commands. For example, if the system includes a lightbar and a, both devices perform the same functions. The SmartSiren programming software enables you to program the control head to send a set of commands dedicated only to the, making its operation independent of the lightbar. To reset the control head to the default setting, perform an LED scan as described above. SW4 Sets the ability to power the network cable for other devices. The default is OFF. DIP Switch 4 should only be set if the main power cables are turned on through an ignition-activated relay. If powering other devices, such as the Six-Button Serial Controller, set DIP Switch 4 to ON. For more information, see the instructions included with the network-powered device. 13

CHAPTER 4 Safety Messages for Operators of Warning Lights People s lives depend on your safe use of our products. Listed below are some important safety instructions and precautions you should follow: Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a hazardous situation. Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this fact and continue driving cautiously. Also, situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-made objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially careful. All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain situations, permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider taking appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection. In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a close range or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur. It is important that you fully understand how to safely operate this warning system before use. You should only operate your vehicle and its light/sound system in accordance with your department s Standard Operating Procedures. If a selected function does not perform properly or if any of the lamps remain illuminated when the control is off, disconnect the power connector from the control unit and contact the nearest service center. At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren system is securely attached and operating properly. Suction cup mounting is for temporary applications only. The unit should be removed from the window and stored securely when not in use. Temperature changes and sunlight can cause suction cups to lose holding power. Periodically check the unit to be sure the suction cups have a firm grip on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light could fall off of the vehicle causing injury and damage. Holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface finish, surface flatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to promote proper magnetic mounting: Mounting surface and magnets must be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that prevent good surface contact. 15

Chapter 4: Safety Messages to Operators of Warning Lights Ensure that mounting surface is flat. A magnet mounting system should not be used on vehicles with vinyl tops. To prevent sliding of light assembly on mounting surface, quick acceleration and hard stops should be avoided. Failure to follow these precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. RETAIN AND REFER TO THIS MESSAGE 16
