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 this light: you must have
a good understanding of automotive electri-
cal procedures 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.
• In order for the light to function properly, a
separate ground connection must be made.
If practical, it should be connected to the
negative battery terminal. t 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 control so the VEHICLE and
CONTROL can be operated safely under all
driving conditions.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate
light control while driving in a hazardous
situation.
• This product contains high intensity LED
devices. To prevent eye damage, DO NOT
stare into the light beam at close range.
• You should frequently inspect the light to
ensure that it is operating properly and that
it is securely attached to the vehicle.

refer to them when maintaining and/or
reinstalling the product.

. LED SignalMaster Light Assemblies.
Install the light assembly as described in the
mounting kit instructions.
B. High-Side Activation.

conjunction with any Federal Signal SignalMaster
control units. Modules are activated with +12Vdc and
are to be used with end user's Multiplexing System.
II. MAINTENANCE.
. General.
WARNING
Crazing (cracking) of lenses will cause
reduced effectiveness of the light. Do not
use cleaning agents (which will cause
crazing) such as strong detergents, sol-
vents, or petroleum products. If crazing of
lenses does occur, reliability of light for
emergency signalling purposes may be
reduced until lenses are replaced.
Ordinary cleaning of the plastic lenses can be
accomplished by using mild soap and a soft rag. Should
fine scratches or a haze appear on a lens, they can
ordinarily be removed with a non-abrasive, high quality,
one-step, automotive paste cleaner/wax and a soft cloth.

screws which secure the LED module assembly.
2. Disconnect the right angle connectors and
