SECTION I
OPERATION
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS OF
FEDERAL SIGNAL LIGHT SYSTEMS
WARNING
The lives of people depend on your safe opera-
tion of Federal products. It is important to read and
follow all instructions shipped with the products. In
addition, listed below are some other important
safety instructions and precautions you should
follow:
QUALIFICATIONS
• To properly use a light system: you must have a
good understanding of general vehicle operation, a
high proficiency in the use of safety warning equip-
ment, and thorough knowledge of state and federal
UNIFORM TRAFFIC CODES.
SIGNALING LIMITATIONS
• Be aware that the use of your visual signaling
devices does not give you the right to force your way
through traffic. Your emergency lights and actions
are REQUESTING the right-of-way.
• Although your warning system is operating
properly, it may not alert everyone. People may not
hear, see, or heed your warning signal. You must
recognize this fact and continue driving cautiously.
• Situations may occur which obstruct your
warning signal when natural or man-made objects
are between your vehicle and others, such as when
you raise your hood or trunk lid. If these situations
occur, be especially careful.
• The control head’s LED display simulates the
light pattern(s) being executed by the warning
system. The display is intended ONLY as a guide and
NOT as an indication of proper warning system
operation. Before using the warning system, its
operation should be observed from outside the
vehicle.
DRIVING LIMITATIONS
• At the start of your shift, you should ensure that
the light system is securely attached to the vehicle
and operating properly.
• If the unique combination of emergency vehicle
equipment installed in your vehicle has resulted in
the light/siren controls being installed in a position
that does not allow you to operate them by touch
only, OPERATE CONTROLS ONLY WHILE YOUR
VEHICLE IS STOPPED.
• If driving conditions require your full attention,
you should avoid operating the light/siren controls
while the vehicle is in motion.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer
to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions
to new recruits and trainees.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may
result in property damage, serious injury, or death to
you, to passengers, or to others.

1-1. GENERAL.
IMPORTANT
Since most Vision features are programmable,
operation is described only for the “standard”
keyboard configurations. System configura-
tion and any changes to the “standard” key-
board configurations (if any) MUST be provided
to the operator by the installer or person re-
sponsible for programming. It is the operator’s
responsibility to understand how his particular
system is configured (programmed) to operate.
The Vision control head is designed to assist the
operator’s selection of functions. Each control head
switch is recessed and aids guiding the operator’s
finger to the switch’s center for activation. When a
switch is pressed, “tactile feedback” provides function
selection indication as follows: a click is felt, a beep is
heard, the selected function’s LED is illuminated,
and the control head’s V-shaped LED display indi-
cates which warning system lights are illuminated. If
the optional SignalMaster directional light is in-
stalled, the control head display simulates the
directional light pattern being executed.
The control head switches are grouped and
color-coded red, amber, and green to indicate the
priority level. Switches that are color-coded red have
the highest priority. Amber color-coded switches have
a lower priority than the red switch group, and the
green color-coded switches have the lowest priority.
Seven selectable “standard” keyboard configura-
tions are available. Each keyboard configuration has
a different function assigned to the keyboard
switches. Only one keyboard configuration can be
selected at a time. System operation is different for
each keyboard configuration. Keyboard configuration
selection (described in Section II) is performed, if
required, when the warning system is installed.
The seven keyboard configurations’ names
suggest a possible application as follows:
• Keyboard Configuration 1 (Federal Signal
use only).
• Keyboard Configuration 2 (POLICE A).
• Keyboard Configuration 3 (POLICE B).
• Keyboard Configuration 4 (FIRE A).
• Keyboard Configuration 5 (FIRE B).
• Keyboard Configuration 6 (RECOVERY).
• Keyboard Configuration 7 (CLEAR-
BOARD).
• Keyboard Configuration 8 (DEMO - sales
use only).
WARNING
Peoples’ lives depend on your safe operation
of this warning system. Ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with the selected keyboard
configuration’s function selection and warning
system operation.
1-2. POWER-UP.
The Vision warning system does not have a
separate on-off switch. It is usually wired to the
vehicle’s ignition switch and is enabled when the
vehicle’s ignition switch is “on”.
If a user-supplied switch is installed, enable the
system by operating the switch to its “on” position.
CAUTION
The Vision warning system draws approxi-
mately 2.5A (all functions deactivated) and
will eventually discharge the vehicle battery.
Do not leave the system powered-up unless
the vehicle engine is running.
After power is applied, the system will power-up
as follows:
A. The RESET LED will flash for approxi-
mately four seconds to indicate that the system is
performing a self-test. During the self-test, the
keyboard will not operate the warning system and
the reflectors in the lightbar will rotate to the “home”
position.
B. After the self-test is completed, the RESET
LED changes from flashing to steady illumination. In
addition, the control head will sound a beep to
indicate the warning system is now ready for use.
NOTE
If the self-test is unsuccessful, the V-shaped
LED display and directional SignalMaster
LED display will flash and a beeping self-test
failure signal will sound. This failure indica-
tion may be caused by lamp failure, communi-
cation link failure, or other failure.
Press the RESET switch to clear the failure
indication. If the failure indication is cleared,
observe for proper warning system operation
from outside the vehicle. Lamps are tested
only once during power-up and should be
observed from outside the vehicle. If the fail-
ure indication is persistent, the warning sys-
tem should be serviced before use.
1-2

1-5. SS2000 SMARTSIREN INTERFACE.
If the SS2000 SmartSiren interface is installed,
operate switch 8 (usually Mode 3) or the foot switch
to activate the SS2000 pursuit function. The
SS2000’s Mode 3 will be activated and sound the
selected siren tone. Operate switch 8, or the foot
switch, again to deactivate Mode 3 and the SS2000
pursuit function.
Refer to the Installation and Operating Instruc-
tions supplied with the SS2000 for additional infor-
mation.
CAUTION
Improper warning system operation may re-
sult if the SS2000 Mode 3 switch is operated
when the SS2000 SmartSiren interface is
installed. Do not operate the SS2000 Mode 3
switch when the SS2000 SmartSiren interface
is installed.
1-6. KEYBOARD CONFIGURATIONS.
IMPORTANT
The control head’s LED display simulates the
light pattern(s) being executed by the warning
system. The display is intended ONLY as a
guide and NOT as an indication of proper
warning system operation.
Before using the warning system, its operation
should be observed from outside the vehicle.
The available “standard” keyboard configura-
tions are as follows:
• Keyboard Configuration 2 (POLICE A).
• Keyboard Configuration 3 (POLICE B).
• Keyboard Configuration 4 (FIRE A).
• Keyboard Configuration 5 (FIRE B).
• Keyboard Configuration 6 (RECOVERY).
• Keyboard Configuration 7 (CLEAR-
BOARD).
• Keyboard Configuration 8 (DEMO - sales
use only).
Determine which keyboard configuration is
selected. The installer or person responsible for
configuration will provide this information. Read and
understand the applicable keyboard configuration
description below.
1-3. LED ILLUMINATION INTENSITY ADJUSTMENT.
The bright LED’s provide maximum visibility in
high ambient lighting conditions. The RESET LED
illumination intensity can be adjusted from bright
illumination to dimmed, dimmer, or extinguished for
night operations. The backlighting illumination
intensity does not change, but does extinguish when
the RESET LED is extinguished.
To adjust, proceed as follows:
A. If any functions are activated, press the
RESET switch. The RESET LED should be illumi-
nated.
B. Press the RESET switch again to decrease
the LED illumination intensity.
C. Continue to press the RESET switch until
the desired LED illumination intensity and back-
lighting are achieved.
NOTE
Operating the foot switch (if installed), or
pressing any control head switch (except
RESET) will cause the LED illumination in-
tensity to revert to bright illumination.
Also, the LED illumination intensity will
revert to bright illumination when the vehicle
ignition switch, or user-supplied switch, is
switched “off” and switched “on”.
1-4. FOOT SWITCH.
Operating the optional foot switch will alternate
between the switch 8 function (usually Mode 3) and
the switch 7 function (usually Mode 2). If installed,
operate the foot switch to activate the switch 8
function. Operate the foot switch again to deactivate
the switch 8 function and activate the switch 7
function. Operating the foot switch a third time does
not deactivate the warning system; it will deactivate
the switch 7 function and reactivate the switch 8
function.
To deactivate a foot switch activated function,
operate the corresponding control head switch.
NOTE
Since the SS2000 SmartSiren® interface is
associated with the switch 8 function, the
siren will deactivate when the switch 7 func-
tion is activated.

SECTION II
CONFIGURATION
2-1. GENERAL.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury, or death to
you or others may result if the Vision warning
system is improperly configured. Configura-
tion, if required, is to be performed at the time
of installation. It is NOT intended for opera-
tors to “customize” the Vision’s operation for
their individual preferences. It is the USER’s
responsibility to determine compatibility,
suitability, and ensure proper configuration
of the Vision warning system.
The person responsible for configuration
MUST be familiar with local codes and proce-
dures for safe emergency vehicle warning
system operation.
NOTE
After configuration is completed and all func-
tions thoroughly tested, reconfiguration by
unauthorized individuals can be prevented by
performing the procedure described in
paragraph 2-6.
The Vision is an extremely versatile and config-
urable warning system. Take-down lights, alley
lights, secondary and primary warning light pat-
terns, and the optional SignalMaster directional
warning signals are all available with the “standard”
keyboard configurations. Also, control of auxiliary
devices (headlight flashers, grille lights, etc.) is
available.
Selecting one of the seven “standard” keyboard
configurations is referred to as Level 1 Configuration.
Most warning system operational requirements can
be satisfied by Level 1 Configuration.
When one of the “standard” keyboard configura-
tions will not provide the necessary warning system
functions, Level 2 Configuration will allow changing
individual switch functions within the selected
keyboard configuration. Also, Level 2 Configuration
can be used to design a completely new keyboard
configuration.
Level 2 Configuration will allow assigning up to
four functions to individual switches within a se-
lected keyboard configuration. Functions which are
configurable/selectable without disassembly, tools, or
special equipment are as follows:
A. Pre-programmed patterns executed by the
Vision’s seven pods.
B. SignalMaster patterns executed by the
optional SignalMaster rear directional light.
C. Three auxiliary relay outputs to control
auxiliary lights and/or accessories.
D. Each switch can be configured for push-on/
push-off, momentary, or eight-second timed opera-
tion.
IMPORTANT
When determining keyboard configuration
changes, keep in mind the configuration re-
strictions described in paragraph 2-3.
NOTE
Before proceeding, the person responsible for
configuration should read and understand
Section I Operation.
