TS600 Fully Flush
Bidirectional Fixture

TS600
Fully-Flush, Self-Cleaning, Bi-Directional Fixture In-Roadway Warning Lighting Systems

General Description
The TS600 fixture is designed for In- Roadway Warning Lighting Systems installed in snowplow areas. Their enhanced self-cleaning feature makes them ideal for installations with inclines. And the use of High-bright LED technology makes them the perfect choice for solar powered applications where power consumption must be minimized. The Bi- Directional design allows backlighting of pedestrians in the crosswalk, further improving the pedestrian safety. The TS600 comes standard as a bi-directional fixture, but may be customized to a uni-directional fixture (TS601).

The TS600 is typically used in crosswalk applications, but is often used in school zone or rail-road crossing, lane control for bridges and tunnels, wrong way warning, and toll booth or toll way leadon applications.

All In-Roadway Warning Lighting System components are available from TSC. A typical installation would include a set of fixtures, a control system, one or more activation devices such as a pedestrian push button station or pedestrian detection pad, and flashing LED crossing signs.

Why Our TS600 Is Better
Outstanding Durability

Corrosion resistant anodized aluminum body provides resistance to traffic wear and weathering.
Fully flush profile avoids damage that may be caused by snowplows. High static load rating (44,000 lb.) reduces likelihood of damage from heavy vehicles.
Superior Visibility and Energy Efficiency
Bi-directional design improves visibility of pedestrians in crosswalk.
Highbright LEDs are 250 times brighter than the Caltrans minimum standard making them clearly visible in daytime and under the worst weather conditions.
Highbright 12 Volt LEDs consume only 6.5 watts/fixture making them ideal for energy efficient solar power applications.
Low Maintenance
Re-usable design reduces the cost, effort and time during resurfacing of the road.
Self-cleaning lens design reduces build-up of dirt and need for frequent cleaning.
Pre-focused optics eliminates the requirement of field adjustments.
Long life LEDs (Average rated life of 10 years) reduces frequency of replacement.
Factory sealed optical cartridge design reduces field maintenance issues.

TS1000 Crosswalk System Controller

Enlarge

General Description
The patent pending TS1000 is a next generation controller designed from the ground up for superior performance, easy installation and outstanding reliability. Using state-of-the-art microcontroller technology, the TS1000 provides both standard and enhanced user selectable flash patterns:

Standard 50 or 60 Flashes Per Minute
One of Seven TSC Enhanced Flash Patterns
Multi-Flash-Pattern Mode

Each Enhanced Flash Pattern is composed of a unique sequence of pulses per flash period and conforms to MUTCD specifications. The Multi-Flash-Pattern Mode continuously cycles through all seven Enhanced Flash Patterns, using a single pattern during each activation period.

The TS1000 supports a wide range of crosswalk system configurations
and is compatible with standard push button, talking push button, pedestrian sensor and other standard activation devices.

Why Our Crosswalk System Controller Is Better
Superior Performance

TSC Enhanced Flash Patterns and Multi-Flash-Pattern Mode are designed to maximize pedestrian safety by increasing driver awareness and response to warning systems.
Generation of contrasting flash patterns to crosswalk and pre-warning systems is supported by dual DC outputs.
Generation of contrasting patterns to distant pre-warning systems is supported by the 120/240 VAC Aux output.
An activation override switch provides for continuous flashing during sporting and other high-traffic events.

Easy Installation

Conveniently located color coded wiring blocks simplify field wiring and allow easy access during installation.
LED status and digital displays allow easy verification of system operation and configuration during setup and testing.
Outstanding Reliability
Internal components are protected by input and output surge protection, circuit breaker and output fuses.
Watertight NEMA 4 enclosure with No. 2 cabinet lock provides protection from adverse weather and security from unauthorized access.
