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's 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 the vehicle frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in
electrical fires or flying molten metal.
•
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.

Page 6: Testing The Installation
ES100 Speaker Mounting Instructions Signaling Limitations • Be aware that the use of your visual and audible signaling devices does not give you the right to force your way through traffic. Your emergency lights, siren, 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. 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 THE 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. -
