Safety Message to Installers of Federal Signal Warning 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 and the original product. 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
equipment.
• Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this
warning will reduce the eectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be
recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
• This product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO NOT stare
into the light beam at close range.
• Always refer to the vehicle service manuals when performing equipment installations on a vehicle.
• 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.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure 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 eective ground
path as long as the light system is to be used.
• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and CONTROLS can be operated safely under all driving
conditions.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light control while driving in a hazardous situation.
• For additional precautions and information, refer to the instructions packed with related products.
• 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 or reinstalling the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death.

Introduction
This publication provides supplemental instructions for installing the Vision SLR light bar with Standalone
SignalMaster to a vehicle.
Unpacking the Kit
After unpacking the kit, inspect it for damage that may have occurred in transit. If it has been damaged,
file a claim immediately with the carrier stating the extent of the damage. Carefully check all envelopes,
shipping labels, and tags before removing or destroying them. Ensure that the parts shown in Table 1 are
contained in the packing carton. If you are missing any parts, contact Customer Support at
1-800-264-3578, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (CT). An installer-supplied control head for
controlling the functions of the light bar is also required.

Mounting the SignalMaster
LOCATING OPERATOR CONTROLS: Locate the light system controls so the vehicle and
controls can be operated safely under all driving conditions. Failure to heed this warning could
result in driver distraction or driver error while operating the vehicle.
ROOF SUPPORT STRUCTURE: There is a roof support member that spans the distance between
the driver and passenger side. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS MEMBER! Adjust any hole
locations until the holes can be drilled without going through this member. Failure to follow this
warning will weaken the roof of the vehicle and may lead to an increased chance of bodily injury
or death in a rollover accident.
SIGNALMASTER ORIENTATION: The SignalMaster light bar must be oriented correctly for
proper operation. The assembly should be installed with the ROC board on top.
IMPORTANT: Plan all cable routing before completing the installation. Plan the location of the wire
routing hole so that the cable does not have tight bends.
To mount the SignalMaster:
1. Determine the desired distance between the mounting holes and attach the mounting brackets to
the SignalMaster with the #10 Torx screws.
2. Mark the positions of the two mounting holes and the hole for the cable.
3. Drill two mounting holes 0.257 inch to 0.265 inch in diameter and a hole 0.375 inch in diameter for
the cable.

CONNECTOR PRECAUTION: The eight-position connector is not waterproof. Before cutting the
SignalMaster cable, determine the cable lengths required to ensure that the cable connector is
located in a dry location inside the vehicle.
To electrically connect the SignalMaster to the Vision SLR:
1. Cut the SignalMaster cable to length and route it to the chosen connection point.
2. Strip and connect the eight SignalMaster control wires as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Keep the pairs
twisted together, separating them just enough to insert the ends into the connector.
