Wiring the CN SignalMaster in the Vehicle

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS: The warning system and/or two-way radio 

system may operate improperly if a two-way radio antenna is installed on or 

within 18 inches of the light bar. Before permanently installing the light bar or 

a two-way radio antenna, test the warning system and two-way radio system. 

Some installations may require the relocation of the two-way radio antenna 

to the trunk or fender. DO NOT drill holes in the light bar or install auxiliary 

devices on the light bar, or the warning system may fail.

Before proceeding, ensure that the light bar has been installed inside the vehicle in 

accordance with the instructions included with the mounting kit.
NOTE: The DIP switch on the light bar’s control PCB provides three selectable 

options. To change DIP switch selections, refer to “Setting Configuration Options” on 

page 13.
The CN SignalMaster™ is completely wired at the factory and does not require any 

additional internal wiring. Two 16 AWG power conductors (red and black) and the 

CAT5 communication cable exit the light bar. The conductors necessary to control the 

light bar are contained in the CAT5 cable, which connects to a compatible Federal 

Signal control head or to the Serial Interface Module.
