Safety Message to Installers and Service Personnel of Warning Lights

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

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 also 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

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Messages

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.

• 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.

• Halogen light bulbs and strobe tubes are pressurized and if broken, can burst,

resulting in ﬂying 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 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 present in or near the unit.

• To avoid a battery explosion, always disconnect the negative battery cable ﬁrst and

reconnect it last. Avoid causing a spark when connecting near or to the battery. The

gases produced by a battery can caused a battery explosion that could result in

vehicle damage and serious injury.

• 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.

Safety Messages

• Before mounting any components, check the manual to ensure 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.

• The 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, 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.

• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten the

adjustment bolts 6 ft-lb to 7 ft-lb. 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.

• To ensure proper operation, test all vehicle functions, including horn operation,

vehicle safety functions, and vehicle light systems. 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.

reinstalling the product.

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

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.

• Only operate your vehicle and its light/sound system per 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.

Introduction to the SIFZ Series SpectraLux

The SIFZ SpectraLux®ILS is a single-level LED light bar that mounts on the inside of the

front windshield. It uses ROC (Reliable On Board Circuitry) technology, and Solaris® S2

reﬂectors. Split, Passenger only, and Driver only are available. The light bar operates at

a nominal input of 13.6 Vdc (11 Vdc minimum). Both Discrete and Serial (Convergence

Network) 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 either a compatible Federal Signal Convergence Network

controller/siren or a Federal Signal Serial Interface Module (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 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).

Selecting Conguration Options for the Serially-Controlled SIFZ

The serial controlled ILS has three conﬁguration options that are selectable with

DIP switches on the light bar control board. The options are described in Table 1 on

page10.

1 Sets what light heads turn on in Steady Burn. The default position for Switch

1 is OFF, which turns on the third outer heads on both sides of the Front ILS

(Figure 1 on page 10). To turn on the third outer head on the driver side only,

set Switch 1 to ON.

2 Not used

3 Switch 3 has two functions:

• 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).

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.

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 that 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 be set only 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.

Control Wires for the Serial Interface Module

The serially controlled SIFZ SpectraLux ILS connects to a Federal Signal Convergence

Network Siren/Controller or to the Serial Interface Module. Table 2 on page 11 shows

the functions of control wires from the Serial Interface Module. The ﬁrst color of wire is the

wire predominant color and additional colors are stripes. For programming options, see

the instructions included with the Interface Module or the Federal Signal Convergence

Network Siren/Controller.
