INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR SIGNALMASTER™ MODEL SMLED6-2DS1 SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS People’s lives depend on your safe installation of our products. It is important to read, understand and follow all instructions shipped with the products. In addition, 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 electrical 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. At 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.
WARNING These lights are intended for secondary warning only. They are not intended for use as a primary warning system. II. INSTALLATION. A. SignalMaster Light Assembly. Install the light assembly as described in the mounting kit instructions, and route the cable near the eventual location of the control unit. CAUTION Install the control unit in an adequately ventilated area. Never install near heater ducts. B. LED Control Unit. NOTE Before selecting a mounting location for the control unit, it is necessary to plan wiring and cable routing. Install the control unit and complete the wiring as described in the control unit instructions. C. Strobe Power Supply.
•
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.
D. Strobe Connections.
File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling the product.
Failure to observe this WARNING may result in fire, burns or blindness.
•
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others. I.
Lens colors available are: amber (standard), red, blue, and clear.
GENERAL.
The Federal SignalMaster™ Model SMLED6-2DS1 is a low wattage, directional light assembly that is designed for use in a flashing mode.
Install the strobe power supply as described in the power supply instructions.
WARNING
If shorted to vehicle frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or molten metal. DO NOT connect this system to vehicle battery until ALL other electrical connections are made and mounting of all components is complete. Verify that no short circuits exist, before making connection to the vehicle battery.
1. Disconnect vehicle battery. Ensure that power is disconnected from all vehicle lighting control systems.

4. See figure 3. Using care to avoid damaging insulation on the cables’ conductors, remove approximately 2-inches of each cables’ outer insulation. Remove approximately 1/4-inch of insulation from
each conductor. Crimp the four red female connectors on the ends of each cables’ conductors. 5. Connect the cables’ conductors to the strobe power supply cables’ conductors by matching the wire colors as shown in figure 1.

III. MAINTENANCE.
1
A. 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, solvents, or petroleum products. If crazing of lenses does occur, reliability of light for emergency signalling purposes may be reduced until lenses are replaced.
2
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.

e. Remove the strobe tube assembly by pulling the wires at the base of the strobe tube assembly. Pull the strobe tube straight away from the mounting bar.
B. LED Module Replacement. 1. See figure 4. Remove and retain the two screws which secure the LED module assembly.
CAUTION
2. Disconnect the right angle connectors and remove the LED module assembly.
Service life of strobe tube will be shortened if glass is touched. If glass has been handled, clean carefully with a grease solvent.
3. Observing polarity, connect the right angle connectors to the appropriate printed circuit board connectors.
f. See figure 6. SLOWLY insert the new strobe tube in the mounting bar until it is properly seated in the top slot of the strobe tube. If the strobe tube is difficult to insert, remove it and apply a high temperature grease, or Vaseline, to the rubber edge of the strobe tube and try again.
4. Install the new LED module assembly using the previously removed screws. C. Strobe Tube Replacement. WARNING
g. Reconnect the quick connect terminals. Reassemble the unit.
High voltages are present in a strobe light system. Wait at least five (5) minutes, after shutting off power, before servicing the unit. Failure to do so may result in property damage, serious injury, or death to you and others.
h. Reconnect all power connections to the power supply and test for proper operation. EXTRUSION
