Sounds like its an internal short heating up the unit. No user replaceable parts
and FSC does not publish or include any internal schematics.
Send to Federal Signal for repair or call the support phone for alternatives.

You smoked the output transformer and transistor by hooking it up wrong. Time to buy a new one as its cheaper to find a used one and hook it up the right way than to pay for a repair.
