I was a cop for 31 years and Federal Signal was my all time favorite company for Lights/Siren Equipment. Very heavy duty built and worked flawlessly for many years over cycles and cycles of repeated use for years on end. Federal Signal and Whelen are the two very best...hands down. They are about equal to me as I loved equipment from both of them although I always leaned towards the quality of Federal Signal. SMART Siren system (shown above) is a nice system and integrates well into any modern Law Enforcement Vehicle. Many of them are pre-wired to accept these systems or come with them. I think Ford had a contract with Federal Signal at one time to supply the pre-wired siren systems in their police model line up. They may still provide that service. The Rumbler is a unique system that was actually invented based on SCIENCE. Studies were done that were based on wave resonance of sound and how sound can penetrate metal at what wave lengths and then used that information to develop the RUMBLER technology. This siren is independent of the wail/yelp/hi-low functions on the normal siren. The Rumbler transmitter is timed to to emit the rumbler wave signal simultaneously with the normal siren which would still be blaring away at the same time the rumbler signal will be penetrating the vehicle in theory with it's lower tone pulsing signals. The theory behind the rumbler system is that most cars of today are so precisely built using robots and computers and they seal much more efficiently now with new technologies than they ever did in the past. As such the sound from outside the vehicle cannot penetrate into the vehicle nearly as much as sound penetrated in years past. Also, many people wear ear phones in their ears (which in most states STILL illegal) so they don't hear outside sounds such as sirens or people crossing the street, outside ambient sounds, etc. It is known now as a danger, and can, and have caused crashes. The rumbler is supposed to penetrate into the cabin of a vehicle better than higher piercing sounding normal siren tones in order to bring awareness to a driver that an emergency vehicle is passing or approaching them. The technology does have merit and is a proven to work technology that can certainly enhance the ability of drivers to hear and then see an approaching emergency vehicle with the rumbler technology activated The technology is not in very wide use around the United States due to high cost. The unit cost far more than a base siren system, sometimes as much as double or more meaning most police fire, and emergency service units will not elect to purchase the technology. Most governments see the technology as "fluff" and while acknowledge it's good technology, don't see it as NEEDED technology where a lower priced base siren would work just as well in their eyes. Granted most of these politicians have to answer to their constituents so bottom line price is ALWAYS a concern. More studies should definitely be done in the future. I'm not sure if this study was done in conjunction with the Florida Highway Patrol Emergency Lightbar Study that was done around the 2010 era I think it was. It was the most extensive study ever done on emergency lighting and proved that the eye saw red better in the daylight and blue light better at night. This is why FHP adopted a two color light bar system that could flash all red day time, and all blue nighttime. Most departments that use a combination of blue and red lighting all the time have the same benefits because they flash both colors all the time. Florida Highway Patrol's thought at the time was the fact the lightbar could automatically change colors they would have the benefit of having more light emitting in the recommended color due to all the lamps being lit in that specific color in daylight or darkness. Code 3 inc. created a system for Florida Highway Patrol which employed a simple light detecting sensor that could tell when it was daylight or dark outside. That sensor was then integrated into one of their Lightbars and that complete system became standard issue to the Florida Highway Patrol for many years as Code 3 probably had the exclusive contract for several years after it was first implemented. (Federal Signal had long been the supplier to FHP for their lighting/siren equipment and this was probably a little bit of a shock to Federal Signal with such a big customer switching to a new Company). When the Code 3 system detected daylight, the lightbar and deck/grille lights would only flash red in color. When the system detected night or darkness, all lights would only flash in blue color. It was a very ingenious and highly thought-out and effective system. It was the first lightbar system of it's type ever employed by a Law Enforcement agency and also the first system based on scientific data which based it on how the human eye saw light and how they would react to that color of light in that particular type of light, either daylight or darkness. The Rumbler siren system may have been part of this study but I don't know that for sure. It did come out after that time period. I do know several Florida Highway Patrol Troopers who told me that they did not like the new lightbar system and the fact it flashed all red in color during the daylight. This was the first time in MANY years that the FHP had decided to outfit their cars with RED lights along with the blue. FHP had been using solid blue lights (as most Southern Lawn Enforcement agencies had been using) for well over 50 years. All of the old and even the new Troopers only knew a Trooper car with blue lights. Many Troopers feared motorists wouldn't pull over for them thinking a motorist would think it was a Fireman behind them or Ambulance, but not a Law Enforcement Officer. These Troopers who did not like the system quickly found a way to override or "confuse" the system. They simply took a piece of dark colored duct tape and taped over the sensor located on the lightbar itself. This confused the lightbar into thinking it was dark outside all the time and the lightbar reverted to blue at all times. This pleased the Troopers who didn't like the red lighting on their patrol vehicles but some Post /Troop Commanders had to tell there Troopers to stop overriding the system or face internal discipline. Other Commanders probably didn't care and overlooked it. It all depended where you were stationed probably. I think FHP may have abandoned the Red/Blue and returned to ALL Blue or a Blue / White configuration. White is the most visible of the colors used in the Emergency Services and can be visually seen farther away than other colors. The problem is that at night, white light can cause temporary blindness. White is extremely effective in the daytime. It would be better suited going to AMBER at night time. Amber is the second most visible color either at night or in daylight. This is why it is so visible on tow trucks, busses, and state highway worker vehicles. An effective combination used by some Law Enforcement and Highway Patrols now is BLUE and AMBER combination with the amber usually being facing to the rear for visibility to the vehicles coming up from behind. This is a very effective method for safety for ANY Law Enforcement agency and any agency should be doing this to the rear anyway. AMBER to rear (with color) for maximum effect from the back. In using white, some agencies use one forward facing white bulb flashing simultaneously or alternating with the primary color (either blue or red). Some agencies use one white lamp in the middle front on both sides flashing with or alternating the primary color. Most lightbars today from any manufacturer can offer an endless array of patterns and flashing sequences. This is due to the solid state transistor technology in lieu of old manually made motor driven light bars. Almost all of them now can change the entire lightbar into whatever colors and patterns you want. I know our Federal Signal Light Bars (the very vest in my opinion) could be all solid white to the front (so bright it would light up a football field!) on demand at the push of a button, then switching to red/blue immediately at the push of a button, then switching to a left to right, or right to left, or center out light director bar to direct traffic where you want it. Then the bar could do every pattern known to man at the push of a button. Trust me, FEDERAL SIGNAL is one of the all time best (and I would say probably the longest company in the emergency vehicle equipment market over all competitors) and they simply make the very best in emergency vehicle equipment. Whelen and Code 3 are great also, but to me Federal is still THE BEST. They are like the Rolls Royce of Emergency Vehicle Equipment, where as Code 3 and Whelen are probably like Mercedes Benz or BMW. Still very very good, but you know...when you want the very best, you just go for it! And Federal Signal always works well with their customers and provide very competitive bidding. I highly recommend you consider Federal Signal in the future. I have used all three companies Code 3, Whelen, and Federal Signal and they are all EXCELLENT!
Ok.
Great install. As a police officer in NYC you earned my follow.
Thank you!

NYPD Police siren! I love it!!!
This definitely not nypd. nypd has their own fleet service department this car is most likely belongs to a medical first responder like hatzolah, they did try to make it look very similar to nypd though it's not the same exact lighting partners
1 nypd doesn't use the fog lights for wig wags on an unmarked they use the high beams for wig wags and two white lights in the corner,
2 this car is missing the two white lights in the reverse lights nypd unmarked cars have
3 He said this is the civilian model of the car not even the police version with the street appeal package
@@bendover2561 its not the car its the same siren idiot
@@bendover2561 he's talking about the siren they use not the fleet itself
@Ben Dover a siren is not the lights it's the tones coming out of the speaker.
Less talkie-talkie. More blinky blinky.
I like the siren
(1:59) best wail..!!
🔥🔥🔥
Hello Love From Malaysia❤🎂🇲🇾
Think you can double tap the horn and it will turn off the siren during the cycle
I wish that the hyper wail transferred over to the series b or pathfinder..
It’s Used NYPD
i want it!
2:00 wail
2:08 yelp
Real deal
In QLD, Australia, where I live, our new CAPA fire engines have this siren but the rumbler activates when the horn is hit
Yep
Sounds like new York police siren
Può essere utile come albero di Natale😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what lights in the rear and also the visor
this is defiantly a nypd car
How do you actually integrate the rumbler into the control panel
looks like an NYPD unmarked explorer
I Hook PNP Ford Crown Vic, So My Brother Is A Rumbler.
I just recently purchased the ssp3000 but didn't come with any harnesses. Can you help me know which ones to get please or email. Thanks
I expect multi color keypad, where is it?
quick question; how’d you tap into the horn ring, is it the same green wire on the up fitters guide or did you have to put a fuse tap?
Not the same as the upfitter guide, this vehicle is the civilian model. Don't recall the wire color off hand. You can't use a fuse tap because if you do it that way, when you activate the horn ring from the siren controller and then you tap the horn on the steering wheel, the factory horn will activate in addition to the siren, and you want only the siren to activate. You need to find the horn wire and cut it in between the steering wheel and the trumpets, and wire that into the siren. One wire in, one wire out. Hope they helps.
Can you make one for me not send it make it so it has a lights bar Wheeling mirror, lights, grill, lights, back visor
with all reds in the front and red & blue in the rear, looks like law enforcement for new york state
Question, can i leave the rumbler on set up as momentary button? or so should I keep it on the 8 Sec timer ? In other worlds can it stay on while not in use?
dolt
why dose the air horn sound like the one in gta 5
I was if this was a siren clayton County police used
1:55 ezt a gombot minden rendőrautóban meg kellene szüntetni ... mentőbe való nem rendőr autókba.
Double tap the horn
If your watch closely, we did. It just cycles the tones
