Safety Message to Installers of Siren Speakers
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:
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 service manuals when installing
equipment on a vehicle.
Sound Hazards
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or near 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 offers guidance
on "Permissible Noise Exposure."
•
All effective 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 different manufacturers may reduce the warning
effectiveness 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 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 be sure
there are no shavings present in or near the unit.
•
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.

- Page 2 2 ES100, ES100-DEU, and ES100-UNI 100 Watt Speakers • Be 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, you should 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 effectiveness while minimizing 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 effectiveness 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 effective for warning others. • Sound propagation and warning effectiveness 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 airbag sensors. • Installation of two speakers requires that you wire the speakers in phase. • Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment, which connects to the vehicle wiring, without reviewing a vehicle wiring diagram, which is available from the vehicle manufacturer. Insure that your installation will not affect vehicle operation and safety...

6 ES100, ES100-DEU, and ES100-UNI 100 Watt Speakers • 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. This can also occur when you raise your hood or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially careful. Driving Limitations • At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the light/sound 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 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 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. - Page 7 ES100, ES100-DEU, and ES100-UNI 100 Watt Speakers • Your Federal Signal customer or account number. • The purchase order number under which the items were purchased. • The shipping method. • The model or part number of the product being returned. • The quantity of products being returned. • Drop ship information as needed. • Any estimate required.
