INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR

VIEWPOINT™ FV SERIES LIGHT ASSEMBLY

SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS

FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS

People’s lives depend on your safe installation of

our products. It is important to read, understand and

follow all instructions shipped with the products. In

addition, listed below are some other important

safety instructions and precautions you should

follow:

• To properly install a light assembly: you

must have a good understanding of

automotive electrical procedures and

systems, along with proficiency in the

installation and use of safety warning

equipment.

• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be

sure that both sides of the surface are

clear of anything that could be damaged.

• A light system is a high current device. In

order for it to function properly, a sepa-

rate ground connection must be made. If

practical, it should be connected to the

negative battery terminal. At a minimum,

it may be attached to a solid metal body

or chassis part that will provide an

effective ground path as long as the light

system is to be used.

• Locate light system controls so the

VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be

operated safely under all driving condi-

tions.

• You should frequently inspect the light

system to ensure that it is operating

properly and that it is securely attached

to the vehicle.

• 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 to you or others.

I. UNPACKING.

After unpacking the ViewPoint light assembly,

inspect it for damage that may have occurred in

transit. If the unit has been damaged, 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.

II. INSTALLATION.

The light assembly is completely wired at the

factory and does not require any additional internal

wiring. All the conductors necessary for control of any

and all basic and optional functions are contained in

the cable(s).

The basic light functions of the unit must be

controlled by a user-supplied control head.

Before proceeding, ensure that the light assembly

has been installed on the vehicle roof in accordance

with the instructions packed with the mounting kit.

Route the light assembly cables as described below.

WARNING

Light system controls must be located so that

VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated

safely under all driving conditions.

A. Route the control cables into the vehicle and

under the dash, near the eventual location of the

user-supplied control head.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury and/or damage to

vehicle components, in the event of a short

circuit in the power cable, install a fuse in

each incoming cable conductor.

B. For proper light operation, the light assembly

control cables must be properly terminated inside the

user-supplied control head. Using figure 1 as a guide,

make the appropriate electrical connections. Ensure

that the lines are adequately fused as shown in

figure 1.

CAUTION

If control lines are combined for activation,

calculate the total current requirement using

the values shown in the appropriate diagram

in figure 1.

After determining the control line switching

configuration, it is the installer’s responsibil-

ity to use suitable fuses, wire, and switches/

relays for the installation.

C. Connect the black lead to chassis ground.

D. Connect the other side of the fused wires to

the +12VDC supply.

NOTE

Any of the light assembly functions can be

activated by applying 12VDC to the appropri-

ate control line. The heavy black lead (-) must

be connected to vehicle ground, to perform a

function check.

III. NFPA INSTALLATION.

MESSAGE TO NFPA INSTALLERS

For mounting, color configuration, and

mounting considerations, refer to the latest

edition of the NFPA standard for automotive

fire apparatus.

Use figures 2 and 3 as a guide (for mounting and

wiring) when installing this light assembly as part of

an NFPA certified system.

IV. BASIC MAINTENANCE.

A. Cleaning the Plastic Domes.

Ordinary cleaning of the plastic domes can be

accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag.

Should fine scratches or a haze appear on the domes,

they can ordinarily be removed with a non-abrasive,

high quality, one-step automotive paste cleaner/wax

and a soft cloth.

WARNING

The use of other materials such as strong

detergents, solvents, petroleum products, etc.

can cause crazing (cracking) of the plastic

domes. If crazing of domes does occur, reliabil-

ity of light for emergency purposes may be

reduced until domes are replaced.

B. Lamp Replacement.

WARNING

A serious injury may result if lamp is touched

when hot. Always allow lamp to cool before

removing.

CAUTION

Service life of lamp will be shortened if glass

portion is touched. If glass has been handled,

clean carefully with a grease solvent.

1. Stationary Lamps.

See figure 4. To replace the lamp, Twist to

unlock and then pull the defective lamp out of the

socket. Install a new lamp of the same type in the

socket.

2. Rotating or Oscillating Lamps.

CAUTION

Forced rotation of the light mechanism will

cause damage to the worm gear. ALWAYS

rotate the light mechanism by rotating the

motor shaft.

a. Rotate the reflector until the C-clip

(located at the base of the lamp) can be removed, and

remove the C-clip by sliding it away from the reflec-

tor.

b. See figure 5. Note the lamp’s orienta-

tion and replace the lamp (Federal Part No.

8440A265) with the straight edge of the lamp’s base

toward the reflector.

c. Reassemble the light.

C. Cleaning Reflectors and Mirrors.

Use a soft tissue to clean the reflector and

mirrors. Avoid heavy pressure and the use of caustic

or petroleum base solvents which will scratch or dull

the surface.
