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 proce-

dures 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 separate 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

conditions.

• 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 Vector light bar, 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 bar 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 bar has been

installed on the vehicle roof in accordance with the instructions

packed with the mounting kit. Route the light bar cable 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 cable(s) 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 com-

ponents, 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 bar control cable

must be properly terminated inside the user supplied control head.

Using figure 1 as a guide, make the appropriate electrical

connections shown in Table 1. Ensure that the lines are ade-

quately fused as shown in figure 1.

NOTE

Any of the light bar functions can be activated by applying

12VDC to the appropriate control line. The heavy black

lead (-) must be connected to vehicle ground, to perform

a function check.

C. Connect the black lead to chassis ground.

D. Connect the light bar’s red power lead to a fuse or circuit

breaker rated at 50 amperes. Connect the other side of the fuse /

circuit breaker to the +12VDC supply.

III. BASIC MAINTENANCE.

WARNING

High voltages are present inside the light bar, when the

strobe light option is installed. Wait at least ten (10)

minutes, after shutting off power, before servicing this

unit. Failure to do so may result in property damage,

serious injury, or death to you or others.

A. Cleaning the Plastic Domes.

Ordinary cleaning of the plastic domes can be accom-

plished 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.

CAUTION

The use of other materials such as strong detergents,

solvents, petroleum products, etc. can cause crazing (crack-

ing) of the plastic domes.

B. Lamp Replacement.

WARNING

A serious injury may result if lamp is touched when hot.

Always allow lamp to cool before removing. Halogen

lamps are pressurized and if broken can result in flying

glass. Always wear gloves and eye protection when

handling the lamps.

CAUTION

Service life of lamp will be shortened if glass portion is

touched. If glass has been handled, clean carefully with a

grease solvent.

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 reflector.

b. See figure 3. Note the lamp’s orientation and

replace the lamp (Federal Part No. 8440A265) with the straight

edge of the lamp’s base toward the reflector.

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.
