Safety Message to Installers 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 and the original 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

• 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.

• 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 the driver’s ﬁeld of vision, so the driver can

maintain safe vehicle operation.

• 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 make sure the system works together and meets

federal, state and local standards or guidelines.

Electrical Hazards

• A light system is a high current system. 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.

Safety Message to Installers of Warning Light Equipment

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

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.

• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches 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 this or any other electrical device while it is

connected to its power source. Exposure to liquid while the product is

connected to the power source may result in an electrical shock and

personal injury and may short circuit and damage the product.

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 cause 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.

Safety Message to Installers of Warning Light Equipment

HighLighter®Elite

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• 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 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.

• 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 instruction sheet 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.

• 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.

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

the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.

• 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 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.

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.

• 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 Procedure.

• 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 be sure the suction cups

have a ﬁrm grip on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light

surface ﬁnish, surface ﬂatness, and thickness of the steel mounting

surface. Therefore, to promote proper magnetic mounting:

• Keep surface and magnets clean, dry, and free of foreign

particles that prevent good surface contact.

• Ensure that the mounting surface is ﬂat.

• Do not use a magnetic mounting system on vehicles with vinyl

tops.

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

injury, or death.
