Pedestrian signals
The long-life LED technology reduces power consumption and increases the service interval at the site, whilst the optional touch-sensitive button is less prone to vandal attack than existing push-buttons. The unit is fully compatible with existing audible and tactile modules.
A newly-designed pedestrian signal family is now available from Siemens with a wide choice of signalling options combining advanced functionality and modern good looks. Built in high precision die cast aluminium, the new range incorporates a complete set of nearside and wait-style signals.
Siemens’ nearside signals form an integral part of the Highways Agency Puffin, Toucan and Equestrian crossing strategies, which provide a higher level of crossing efficiency and pedestrian safety than other types of controlled crossing. The new nearside signals are fully compatible with the ST700, ST800 and ST900 families of controllers, and can be lamp monitored directly by the ST900 ELV controller. This ensures that failures of cabling or pole top connections can be detected automatically, allowing the installation to be returned to full operation with the minimum of delay.
Advanced optical design provides exceptional visibility of the signals in all lighting conditions. The enhanced illumination on the nearside demand unit offers an extremely clear and positive indication to the pedestrian, once the demand button has been pushed.
As well as traditional two-part nearside units, the range now offers a new single enclosure ‘combined’ version of the nearside signal, encapsulating both demand and display elements within a single attractive enclosure.
The new demand units are also designed to support traditional Pelican pedestrian applications and are available with traditional incandescent lamps and the latest low-power LED optics on selected models. Improved longevity of LED technology means lower power, fewer maintenance visits and reduced carbon emissions.
All new demand units are fitted as standard with a robust mechanical switch designed to give a long and reliable service life. The unit is fully compatible with existing audible and tactile modules.
