Safety Messages to Installers of Federal Signal Sound/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. In addition, 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 performing equipment installations on a
vehicle.
Sound Hazards
•
Your hearing and the hearing of others, in or close to 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 the sound of the siren or horn and wear hearing protection. Do not
sound the siren or horn indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to the sound.
•
Federal Signal siren amplifier/relay modules 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.
