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. In addition, 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 prociency 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 effective 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 eld 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. Com-

bining light heads and a power supply from different manufacturers may reduce the warning ef-

fectiveness of the lighting system and may damage the components. You should verify or test your

combination to ensure 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 off. After disconnecting

power to the unit, wait ve minutes before handling any parts of the strobe system.

• 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 con-

nected 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

affect vehicle operation or mandated safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper

operation after installation.

Installation and Service Instructions for

Qu a d r a Fl a r e ™ Halogen Scene Light

Model QL97HSCENE

2562427A REV. A 409

2 Qu a d r a Fl a r e Halogen Scene Light Model QL97HSCENE

• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and the outer housing, get

hot during operation. Be sure to 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 and result in ying 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 elds. Mounting the antenna too close to the lighting system may also cause the radio noise emit-

ted 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 veried 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 res or ying molten metal.

• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the deployment path of an air bag.

• 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.

• 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.

• Before 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 pre-

cautions 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 y off 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 lightbar mounting feet as close to outer edge of the

roof as possible.

• Roof damage can occur if the hook adjustment bolts are over-tightened. Tighten adjustment bolts 10 to

11 ft-lb to prevent the lightbar from sliding front-to-back when pulling on the mounting bracket.

• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all

driving conditions.

including horn operation, vehicle safety functions and vehicle light systems, to ensure proper operation.

Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety func-

tion or circuit.

• Scratched or dull reectors, mirrors or lenses will reduce the effectiveness 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 de-activate the light system controls while driving in a hazardous situation.

• You should frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating properly and that it is se-

curely attached to the vehicle.

• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy of these instructions to instructional staff and

all operating personnel.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or re-installing the product.

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

injury, or death to you or others.

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag.

Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge

the equipment, causing serious injury to you or others.

NOTE: For maximum coverage and effectiveness, each light assembly must be mounted in the horizontal

orientation shown in Figure 1 on page 8.

Before installing the light, read all instructions, determine the approximate location of the light assembly,

and plan all mating connections. Use installer-supplied grommets, wire ties, looms, and cable mounts as

needed to secure and protect the wiring.

To mount the scene light to the vehicle:

1. Select the mounting location for the light. See Figure 1 on page 8 for the locations of the mounting holes.

Note the dimensions of the area to be cut from the mounting location for the light’s reector clearance.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS

Before drilling holes, check the area into which you plan to drill to ensure you do not damage

vehicle components while drilling. All drilled holes should be deburred and all sharp edges

should be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet

or convolute/split-loom tubing.

2. Drill four 1/4" (0.25") mounting holes in the mounting surface.

3. Cut out the area from the mounting surface needed for the reector clearance.

4. Insert the screw grommets into the four mounting holes.

5. Route the wires from the scene light through the cut-out in the mounting surface toward the power

source.

6. Complete these electrical connections:

REVERSE POLARITY/MISWIRING

Reverse polarity or incorrect voltage may damage the light. To avoid damage to the light, en-

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

polarity is observed.

a. Use the supplied connectors and terminals for the power and ground connections to the scene

light as shown in Figure 4 on page 9.

b. Connect the installer-supplied red 18 AWG (minimum) wire from Pin 1 to the positive (+BAT) power

source terminal.

c. Connect the installer-supplied white 18 AWG (minimum) wire from Pin 3 to the negative (–NEG)

power source terminal.

7. Secure the scene light to the mounting surface with the four M 4.2 x 38 screws (Figure 2 with the

Testing the Installation

After the installation, test the scene light to ensure that it is operating properly. Also test all vehicle functions,

including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems to insure proper operation.

Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety functions

or circuits.

Cleaning the Plastic Lenses

CRAZING/CHEMICALS

Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause reduced effectiveness of the light. Do not use cleaning

agents (which will cause crazing) such as strong detergents, solvents, or petroleum products.

If crazing of lenses does occur, the reliability of light for emergency signaling purposes may be

reduced until lenses are replaced.

Failure to follow this warning can damage the lenses and may result in bodily injury or death to you

or others.

1. Rinse the lenses with lukewarm water to loosen dirt and debris.

2. Use a mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth to gently clean the lenses. To avoid damaging the

lens, do not use heavy pressure or caustic, abrasive, or petroleum-based cleaners.

3. Rinse and dry the lenses with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.

4. To remove ne scratches and haze, use a specialty plastic cleaner/polish and a soft cloth. You can also

use a high quality automotive paste cleaner/wax that is non-abrasive.

The most effective product you can use for cleaning, protecting, and polishing clear and colored plastics

is Plexus® Plastic Cleaner, Protectant & Polish. Over time, exposure to heat, sunlight, and smog causes

plastic to fade, discolor, scratch, or become brittle. Plexus seals the pores of the plastic, making the plastic

easier to clean, improving scratch resistance, and increasing product longevity.

Plexus is available in cases of twelve 13 oz aerosol cans (PX13) from Federal Signal Corporation, Emer-

gency Products.

Replacing the Halogen Lamp

CAREFULLY HANDLE THE HALOGEN LAMP

Halogen lamps get hot enough to burn you. Always allow these devices to cool before handling

them. Halogen lamps are also pressurized and if broken can result in ﬂying glass. Always wear

gloves and eye protection when handling these devices.

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.

LAMP WATTAGE

This device is designed to use a halogen lamp of 50 watts or less. Use of a lamp of more than 50

watts can result in damage to the lens, property damage, or injury to you or others.
