Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

Safety Messages for Installers and Operators

For your safety, read and understand this manual thoroughly before installing,

operating, and servicing the e-Q2B Siren Ampliﬁer. The safety messages presented

in this section and throughout the manual are reminders to exercise extreme care at

all times. Read and understand the safety instructions to installers (doc. no. 256A692),

and keep it close at hand for reference.

To download copies of this manual, go to 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).

Safety Messages to Installers of Federal Signal Sound/Light Systems

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

Qualiﬁcations

• To properly install an electronic siren, you must have a good understanding of

automotive 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.

Sound Hazards

• Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to your emergency vehicle,

could be damaged by loud sounds. This can occur from short exposures to very

loud sounds, or from longer exposures to moderately loud sounds. For hearing

conservation guidance, refer to federal, state, or local recommendations. OSHA

Standard 1910.95 oers guidance on “Permissible Noise Exposure.”

• All eective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB) that may cause

permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your exposure to siren sound and wear

hearing protection. Do not sound the siren indoors or in enclosed areas where you

and others will be exposed to the sound.

• Federal Signal siren ampliﬁers and speakers are designed to work together as a

system. Combining a siren and speaker from dierent manufacturers may reduce

the warning eectiveness of the siren system and may damage the components.

You should verify or test your combination to make sure the system works

together properly and meets federal, state and local standards or guidelines.

During Installation

• 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 to prevent metal shavings from entering the unit.

Inspect the unit after mounting to ensure that there are no shavings present in or

near the unit.

88 e-Q2B Electronic Siren System

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• 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 wiring is shorted to vehicle frame, high current

conductors can cause hazardous sparks, resulting in electrical ﬁres or ﬂying

molten metal.

• Make sure the siren ampliﬁer and speaker(s) in your installation have compatible

wattage ratings.

• In order for the electronic siren to function properly, the ground connection must

be made to the NEGATIVE battery terminal.

• Sound output will be severely reduced if any objects are in front of the speaker. If

maximum sound output is required for your application, ensure that the front of the

speaker is clear of any obstructions.

• Install the speaker(s) as far forward on the vehicle as possible in a location that

provides maximum signaling eectiveness and minimizes the sound reaching the

vehicle’s occupants. Refer to the National Institute of Justice guide 500-00 for

further information.

• Mounting the speakers behind the grille will reduce the sound output and warning

eectiveness of the siren system. Before mounting speakers behind the grille,

make sure the vehicle operators are trained and understand that this type of

installation is less eective for warning others.

• Sound propagation and warning eectiveness will be severely reduced if the

speaker is not facing forward. Carefully follow the installation instructions and

always install the speaker with the projector facing forward.

• Do NOT install the speaker(s) or route the speaker wires where they may interfere

with the operation of air bag sensors.

• Installation of two speakers requires wiring speakers in phase.

• 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 and

safety functions or circuits. Always check vehicle for proper operation after

installation.

• Do NOT install equipment or route wiring or 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 air bag deployment.

• Locate the control head so the vehicle, controls, and microphone can be operated

safely.

• When drilling into a vehicle structure, enure that both sides of the surface are clear

of anything that could be damaged.

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

After Installation

• After installation, test the emergency warning system to ensure that it is operating

properly.

• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and

vehicle light systems, to ensure proper operation. Ensure that installation has not

aected vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or circuit.

• After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the instructional

sta and all operating personnel.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining or

reinstalling the product.

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

serious injury, or death.

RETAIN AND REFER TO THESE MESSAGES

Safety Messages to Operators of Federal Signal Sound/Light Systems

People’s lives depend on your safe operation of Federal Signal products. It is

important to read and follow all instructions shipped with the products. Listed below

are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow.

• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the controls of the emergency warning

system while driving in a hazardous situation.

• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely

eective. People may not see, hear, 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.

• All eective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain

situations, permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider

taking appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection.

• The eectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the

tinting, and the angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt, defects,

and steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may

reduce the eectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty,

tinted, or steeply angled glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or

blocking the right of way with your vehicle.

• 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.

1010 e-Q2B Electronic Siren System

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• 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 Procedures.

• 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 is 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 could fall o of the vehicle causing injury and

damage.

• The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface

ﬁnish, surface ﬂatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to

promote proper magnetic mounting:

• Keep mounting surface and magnets clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that

prevent good surface contact.

• Ensure that mounting surface is ﬂat.

• Do not use a magnet mounting system on vehicles with vinyl tops.

• To prevent sliding of light assembly on mounting surface, avoid quick

acceleration and hard stops.

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

death.
