www.fedsig.com or call the Federal Signal Service Department at 1-800-433-9132, 7 a.m.

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (CT).

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

• 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.

• 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.

Safety Messages for Installers and Service Personnel

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• 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.

• 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.

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

seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

• 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.

• 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 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.

Safety Messages for Installers and Service Personnel

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.

An Overview of the CN SignalMaster™

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

An Overview of the CN SignalMaster™

The CN SignalMaster FSJoin™is a single-level LED light bar with ROC™(Reliable On-

Board Circuitry) and Solaris®LED technologies. ROC eliminates approximately 85

percent of potential failure points by incorporating a printed circuit board (PCB) in one

assembly to substantially reduce the number of electrical connections. Solaris S2 LED

modules use oset, complex, reﬂector surfaces for accurate beam shaping and the

highest optical eciency. The CN SignalMaster is available in eight-head and four-

head models, for both front and rear. It is also available in a rear only, split eight-head

model, with a 12 ft cable joining two four-head units (CNSMJ2X4R).

LED Lights, Colors, and Flash Patterns

The light bar’s internal microprocessor supplies three priority operational modes

and a library of ﬂash patterns. To increase the safety of ocers, pedestrians, and

motorists, the light bar has standard dimming and intersection warning. Multi-color

heads are available with up to three dierent colored LEDs, eliminating the loss of

primary warning colors in takedown and directional warning positions. Individual

CN SignalMaster light heads can ﬂash between red, blue, amber, or white. The

light bar operates at a nominal input of 13.6 Vdc (11 Vdc minimum) and an operating

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

The functions of the SignalMaster 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, SignalMaster controllers, and/or individual low-current switches.

The housing is an anodized aluminum extrusion. The light bar has 15-foot power and

ground cables and a 25-foot serial cable. Universal mounting hardware is supplied;

vehicle-speciﬁc mounting hardware is also available separately.

FSJoin™

FSJoin light bars 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.
