Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel of

Warning Light Equipment

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:

NOTE: The term “vehicle” in this publication refers to both automotive and marine watercraft.

Before Installation or Service

Qualications

• To properly install or service this equipment, you must have a good understanding of automotive

and marine mechanical and electrical procedures and systems, along with prociency 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 eld of vision,

so the driver can maintain safe vehicle operation.

• 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

• Strobe systems present a shock hazard because they use high voltage to operate. Do not

handle strobe cables, the power supply or bulbs or remove the lens while the equipment is

connected. Strobe systems can also hold their charge even after they have been turned off. After

disconnecting power to the unit, wait ve minutes before handling any parts of the strobe system.

• 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.

HigHLigHter™ LED Mini-Lightbars

• 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.

• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can burst and result in ying

glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling these components.

• 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 elds. 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 veried 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 res or ying molten metal.

• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug in cord) in the deployment path of an

airbag.

• 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.

• Service life of light bulbs and strobes tubes will be shortened if the glass portion is touched

during installation. Use gloves when handling these components. If the glass portion has been

touched, clean the glass carefully with isopropyl alcohol.

• 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 y 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 outer edge of

the roof as possible.

HigHLigHter™ LED Mini-Lightbars

• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to

be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

• 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 reectors, 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 to you or others.

Safety Message to Operators of Warning Light Equipment

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.

HigHLigHter™ LED Mini-Lightbars

• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds which 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 rm grip on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light could fall off of the vehicle

causing injury and damage.

• The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface nish, surface

atness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to promote proper magnetic

mounting:

✓The mounting surface and magnets must be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that

prevent good surface contact.

✓ Ensure that the mounting surface is at.

✓A magnet mounting system should not be used on vehicles with vinyl tops.

✓To prevent the sliding of the lightbar on the mounting surface, quick acceleration and hard

stops should be avoided.

Failure to follow these precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment of an airbag.

Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the

equipment, causing serious injury.

FLAT MOUNT BRACKETS

Curved mounting locations may distort the base of the lightbar if the mounting screws are over-

tightened. To prevent the base from being distorted, use the Flat Mount Brackets. They are

available separately as Federal Signal part number 454218.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS

Before drilling holes, check the area into which you plan to drill to ensure you do not damage

vehicle components while drilling. All drilled holes should be deburred and all sharp edges should

be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or convolute/

split-loom tubing.

The lightbar is completely wired at the factory and does not require any additional internal wiring. User-

supplied 18 AWG or larger wire may be added if required. Optional 15-foot cable kits are available from

your dealer or Federal Signal. See “Ordering Replacement Parts” on page 18.

Before beginning any installation, plan the wiring path and mounting method. Depending on the number

of lightbars installed and the distance between connection points, you may need to install heavier gauge

wire.

Preparing the Mounting Surface

Select a relatively at and level position on the mounting surface. Figure 1 shows two patterns of

mounting holes.

• Pattern A matches the holes on the Halogen and Strobe HigHLigHter LED models.

• Pattern B is an alternate set of holes that are closer to the corners for greater stability.

NOTE: Install the lightbar with the notch in its base facing the rear of the vehicle.
