Servicing the Unit

Federal Signal recommends that the siren be returned to your local distributor or 

Federal Signal for service. External components, such as cabling, are available as 

replacement parts. (See Table 9.) Except the slide switch in the siren, there are no 

other user-serviceable parts within the unit. After servicing the system, test it to 

ensure that it is operating properly.

Replacing the Slide Switch 

The slide switch can be removed from the siren without removing the siren from 

the vehicle in most installations.

STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICE: The light bar circuitry can be damaged by 
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow anti-static procedures when removing 
the slide switch.

To replace the slide switch: 

1. 

Use a T20 Torx driver to remove the four 8-32 shoulder screws securing the 

keypad to the extrusion. See Figure 11. 

Figure 11  Keypad Removal

2. 

Disconnect the ribbon cable and microphone lead from amp PCBA. 

3. 

Gently unsnap the siren bezel from the keypad. See Figure 12 on page 30.
