SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS

FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS

WARNING

People’s lives depend on your safe installa-

tion of our products. It is important to

read, understand and follow all instruc-

tions shipped with the products. In addi-

tion, 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

e uipment.

• 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 con-

nected to the negative battery termi-

nal. 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.

• This product contains high intensity

LED devices. To prevent permanent

eye damage, DO NOT stare into the

light beam at close range.

• Locate light system controls so the

VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be

operated safely under all driving

conditions.

• You should fre uently inspect the light

system to ensure that it is operating

properly and that it is securely at-

tached 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 Solaris light assem-

bly, 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 e tent 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 con-

trolled 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 condi-

tions.

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 responsibility

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 appropriate

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

connected to vehicle ground, to perform a

function check.

E. Programming High-Side flasher.

WARNING

DO NOT connect flasher to brake light

circuit of ANY vehicle.

DO NOT connect flasher to the headlight

circuit of any vehicle.

Connection of aftermarket electrical

e uipment into this circuit may interfere

with the brake shift interlock.

This could cause the vehicle to unexpect-

edly move forward causing possible prop-

erty damage, injury or death to the vehicle

operator or others.

The flasher will provide the end user with a

preselected flash pattern. The preselected flash pattern

is to be chosen from the nine factory programmed

patterns provided with each flasher. It is recommended

that the preselected flash pattern be determined and

programmed during installation.

The red/green LED in each flasher will be

illuminated green when an SAE approved flash pattern

is selected. When an unapproved SAE flash pattern is

selected, the LED will be illuminated red. The red/green

LED may alternate between red and green for several

flash patterns.

The following procedure demonstrates the

programming and operating features of the flasher:

the programming pins until the desired pattern is

running. Allow the pattern to run for 15-seconds and it

is now programmed.

III. NFPA INSTALLATION.

MESSAGE TO NFPA INSTALLERS

For mounting, color configuration, and mount-

ing considerations, refer to the latest edition of

the NFPA standard for automotive fire appara-

tus.

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/wa 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, reliability of light for emergency

purposes may be reduced until domes are

replaced.

B. LED Assembly Replacement (Solaris LED

Gen 3).

WARNING

A serious injury may result if LED assem-

bly is touched when hot. Always allow LED

assembly to cool before removing.

See figure 2. Refer to table 1 and replace the

defective LED assembly with an e act replacement only.

C. 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 3. 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.
