Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel

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.

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 eective 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 dierent manufacturers

may reduce the warning eectiveness of the lighting system and may damage the

components. Verify or test your combination to ensure that 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 hold their charge even after they

have been turned o. After disconnecting power to the unit, wait ﬁve 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 aect vehicle operation or mandated safety

functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper operation after installation.

6SIFMH, SIFMR (Discrete) and SIFMJH,SIFMJR FSJoin™(Serial) Rear ILS Light Bar

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel

• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the

outer housing, get hot during operation. Disconnect power to the system and allow

the system to cool down before handling any components of the system.

• 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.

• Before mounting any components, check the manual to enure 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, ensure 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. 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 o 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 light bar mounting feet as close to

the outer edge of the roof as possible.

• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated

safely under all driving conditions.

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Message to Operators of Warning Light Equipment

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

aected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.

• Scratched or dull reﬂectors, mirrors, or lenses will reduce the eectiveness 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 deactivate the light system control while driving in a

hazardous situation.

• 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 sta and all operating personnel.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or

reinstalling 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

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 deactivate the light system control while driving in a

hazardous situation.

• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely

eective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this

fact and continue to drive cautiously.

• Situations may occur that 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.

• The eectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the

tinting, and the angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt defects, and

steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may reduce the

eectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty, tinted, or steeply

angled glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or blocking the right of way

with your vehicle.

8SIFMH, SIFMR (Discrete) and SIFMJH,SIFMJR FSJoin™(Serial) Rear ILS Light Bar

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

All eective 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 eective 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.

• 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 o, disconnect the power connector from the control unit and

contact the nearest service center.

• At the start of your shift, ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren

system are 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

make sure the suction cups have a ﬁrm grip on the mounting surface. An improperly

secured light could fall o of the vehicle causing injury and damage.

• The 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:

• Keep the mounting surface and magnets clean, dry, and free of foreign particles

that prevent good surface contact.

• Ensure that mounting surface is ﬂat.

• DO not use a magnet mounting system on vehicles with vinyl tops.

• To prevent sliding of light assembly on mounting surface, avoid quick acceleration

and hard stops.

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

or death.

Introduction to the SIFM Series SpectraLux

The SIFM SpectraLux ILS is a center-focused, single-level LED light bar that mounts on

the inside of the rear window. It uses ROC (Reliable On Board Circuitry) technology, and

Solaris®S2 reﬂectors. Deck (SIFMR) and Hatch (SIFMH) models are available. The light bar

operates at a nominal input of 13.6 Vdc (11 Vdc minimum). Both Discrete (SIFMH,SIFMR)

and Serial (SIFMJH, SIFMJR FSJoin™) control are available as conﬁgured options

Discrete models have eight control inputs that connect to the user-supplied low current

switches. Serial models are controlled through the CAT5 serial communication cable. The

cable connects to Federal Signal Convergence network controllers, or the Convergence

Serial Interface Module (Part Number 858303641). With the Serial Interface Module, the

light bar can be activated by Federal Signal light bar controllers or individual low current

switches.

The backbone is a powder coated aluminum shroud. The light bar has 15-foot power and

ground cables and a 25-foot control cable. Mounting hardware is a conﬁgured option.

Refer to mounting instructions supplied with mounting hardware. The light bar has an

operating temperature range of –30°C to +65°C (–22°F to +149°F).

FSJoin

Spectralux SIFxJ ILS models with FSJoin allow ﬂash patterns to synchronize with other

FSJoin compatible devices. You can program light bar patterns and features on an

individual light head basis with the Convergence Network Conﬁguration Software.

Outputs or light heads set to the same ﬂash rate automatically synchronize. You can

program a variety of system features with the Convergence Network Conﬁguration

Software (available on the Federal Signal website at www.fedsig.com). Programming

requires an FSJoin compatible controller such as a Pathﬁnder®Siren/Light Controller.

Programming does not require disassembling or removing any hardware from the vehicle.
