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.

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, 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.

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel of Warning Light Equipment

• 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.

• 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 ensure that there are no

shavings 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 verify 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 vehicle roof, 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.

reinstalling the product.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage,

serious injury, or death.

RETAIN AND REFER TO THESE MESSAGES

Introduction

The Rear SpectraLux ILS is a single-level LED light bar that mounts in the rear window

of the vehicle. It uses ROC (Reliable On Board Circuitry™) technology, and Solaris®S2

reﬂectors. The light bar operates at a nominal input of 13.6 Vdc (11 Vdc minimum). The

functions of the ILS 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 (document P/N 8583446). An internal PCB assembly

within the light bar decodes the control data and performs the requested function. With

the Serial Interface Module, the light bar can be activated by Federal Signal light bar

controllers, SignalMaster®controllers, and/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 serial 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 +145°C).

Unpacking the ILS

After unpacking the ILS light assembly, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in

transit. If it has been damaged, do not install it. 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. Ensure that the parts listed in kit contents list are

included in the package. If you are missing any parts, contact Customer Support

at 1-800-264-3578, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (CT).

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Wiring the Rear ILS in the Vehicle

Before proceeding, ensure that the light bar has been installed inside the vehicle in

accordance with the instructions included with the mounting kit.

NOTE: The DIP switch on the control PCB in the light bar provides two selectable options.

To change DIP switch settings, see “Selecting Conﬁguration Options” on page 9.

The light bar 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 light bar. The conductors necessary to control the light bar

are contained in the CAT5 cable, which connects to a compatible Federal Signal control

head or Serial Interface Module.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS: The warning system and/or two-way radio

system may operate improperly if a two-way radio antenna is installed on or

within 18 inches of the light bar. Before permanently installing the light bar or

a two-way radio antenna, test the warning system and two-way radio system.

Some installations may require the relocation of the two-way radio antenna

to the trunk or fender. DO NOT drill holes in the light bar or install auxiliary

devices on the light bar, or the warning system may fail.

LOCATING OPERATOR CONTROLS: The controls for the light system must be

located so that the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all

driving conditions.

REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRING: Reverse polarity may damage the siren

amplier. To avoid damage to the siren/amplier, ensure that the battery

voltage is the same voltage as the rating of the light and that the correct

polarity is observed.

To wire the light bar in the vehicle:

1. Ensure that the lines are adequately fused (see Figures 4 through 6 starting on page

17). From the light bar, 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 light bar or

Serial Interface Module.

NOTE: An input cable (24-pin harness) is provided with the Serial Interface Module. For

connections, see Table 1 on page 8 and Figures 4 through 6 starting on page 16.

2. Connect the 16 AWG black lead to the vehicle battery’s ground (–NEG) terminal.

3. Connect the 16 AWG red lead through the supplied 15 A fuse at the source to the

positive (+BAT) terminal.

Typical Installations with Common Control Systems

For typical installations with common control systems, see Figures 4 through 6 starting

on page 16.

Selecting Conguration Options

The Rear ILS has three conﬁguration options that are selectable with DIP switches on

the light bar control board. Table 2 describes the options.

Table 2 Rear ILS DIP switch settings

DIP Switch

Position Description

1 Sets the directional arrow pattern for internal SignalMaster®control for the eight- (default) or six-

head pattern. For the six-head pattern, move DIP Switch 1 to ON (Figure 1 on page 11).

2 Not used

3 Switch 3 has three functions:

• Activating a lower or upper rear mounted ILS

• Performing an LED scan to ensure that an LED board ashes the correct colors after it is

installed.

• Changing the Device ID to enable the SpectraLux®ILS to operate independently of the

light bar (available with the Convergence Conguration Software).

Choosing to Activate an Upper or Lower Rear ILS

To activate an upper rear mounted ILS, set Switch 3 ON.

To activate a lower rear mounted ILS, 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 ash the

correct colors.

To perform the scan:

1. Disconnect the red power (BAT+) wire to the SpectraLux ILS and maintain power to the

control head/interface box.

2. Change the position of DIP Switch 3 and turn power ON to the SpectraLux ILS. The

SpectraLux ILS emits a short ash 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 SpectraLux ILS is to respond to light bar commands. For example, if the

system includes a light bar and a SpectraLux ILS, both devices perform the same functions. The

Convergence Conguration programming software enables you to program the control head to

send a set of commands dedicated only to the SpectraLux ILS, making its operation independent

of the light bar.

To reset the control head to the default setting, perform an LED scan as described above.

4 Sets the ability to power the network cable for other devices. The default is OFF. 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.

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.

• 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.
