ALTERNATING STOP/ALTO

The USA Signal Alternating STOP/ALTO Signals offers several unique operating features that make it a cost-effective solution to standard filament bulb based products and all competitors LED based products. The signal will alternate “flashing” from the English word “Stop” to the Spanish word “Alto” during it’s active “ON” operation. The signal’s LEDs are configured into independent strings so if a LED fails the sign light output will not be compromised. The signal has two separate power supplies with surge-transient protection at 10KV @ 10K Amps which exceeds the ITE specification. The redundant power supply architecture functions so if one supply fails the signal will still be functioning in a manner that it’s readable by the motorist. If a failure occurs and any of the communication options are installed the signal will send the information to the DOT central office for appropriate action. The LEDs and control electronics are contained in a separate water tight and dust free enclosure that is “convection” cooled which helps to extend the operating life of the signal so that it has an industry high 6 year warranty.

    FEATURES & BENEFITS :
  • LED based product, which offers considerable energy power savings over standard incandescent bulb products.
  • The electronics are housed in an enclosure that is convection cooled, which keeps the electronics operating below specification requirements of 74 deg. Celsius.
  • Dimming Control for Night Operation per ITE specification.
  • Separate convection cooled watertight electronic cabinet to house all electronics.
  • Electronics cabinet can be easily replaced without removing complete sign enclosure from intersection pole.
  • Master-Slave Redundant Auto-Sensing Auto-Switching AC/DC Power Supplies (80VAC – 135VAC & 35VDC – 60VDC)
  • Failure of a single LED results in loss of light from that LED only
  • 10KA @ 10KV Transient Voltage Protection Exceeds ITE VTSCH-STD Part 2 Specification and is non-degrading unlike most competitors circuits
  • Operating product warranty of 6 years.
