The hand box is used for quick and easy
programming of the signal system MPB
1400. The hand box queries the necessary
inputs and guides you through the menu.
Your national language is already adjusted
when the hand box is delivered.
If you should prefer another language, you
can change this accordingly.
Adjusting the language
To do so, press buttons "1+2+4+ON" at the
same time on the hand box which has been
switched off, and hold them for 5 seconds
until the hand box has introduced itself and
the language selection menu appears. Now
use buttons "1" or "3" to select the required
language. Press "4" to confirm your
choice. (Other languages are available on
request).
The power supply for the hand box consists of a 9V block battery. Please purchase a
new top quality alkali battery when the display shows "Battery old". The battery must
be replaced at the latest when the display shows "Battery flat".
The quartz-controlled signal system type MPB 1400 can be used for controlling
traffic in construction sites with alternating one-way traffic, at T-junctions or
crossroads.
The length of the red and green phases can be adjusted differently right down to the
last second for all signals – so versatile is this new system!
For initial commissioning, please proceed as follows:
1.) Provide the signal head with 12 VDC operating voltage by placing the
batteries or N1 type power supply units in the battery casing. Pay
attention to correct polarity! The signal heads switch on automatically
(electronic on/off switch).
2.) The signals now show "flashing yellow".
3.) If the signals have been placed next to each other for commissioning,
please make sure that they are spaced at intervals of approx. 3 metres.
This ensures that the infrared signals of the hand box can be unequi-
vocally allocated to each individual signal..
Data can be entered in the hand box at any point in time, even in a different space and
time from the signals themselves. Please proceed as follows:
1.) Press "ON" to switch the hand box on.
Press "ON" again and hold for 2 seconds to switch the display back
lighting on if required.
2.) The hand box introduces itself:
Then the display shows the menu point >Choose<.
Press "1" and "3" to change values or make a selection (left/right). Use "2" and "4" to
move through the menu. "2" takes you back and "4" moves you forward in the menu,
and is used to confirm your inputs.

Signal system type MPB 1400

During initial commissioning, please use "2" to check the specific national settings for
the red-and-yellow and yellow phases (e.g.: RdYe = 1 second, Yell = 4 seconds).
These time settings are then saved as basic values for all future inputs. That means as a
rule, you will not have to change these basic values any more. Press "4" several times
to return to the menu point >Choose<.
Recommendation: for light traffic enter 15 to 20 seconds, for medium
traffic 30 to 40 seconds and for heavy traffic 50 to 70 seconds for green 1
and green 2. It goes without saying that different green times can also be
selected for every direction.
3.) In the menu point >Choose<, use "1" or "3" to choose the required type of
traffic control, e.g. "one-way" (function as bottleneck signal system in
alternating one-way traffic).
4.) Press "4" to confirm your selection (e.g. "one-way"), thus moving to the
next menu point. Stipulate the corresponding red phase (e.g. indicative
values stated in the table on page 10 of these instructions, or sticker on the
hand box) as >RED 1< using "1" and "3".
As a simple guide, you can calculate at least 12 seconds red phase for
every 100 m construction site length, based on a clearance speed of
30 km/h. At gradients or on difficult ground, it is advisable to select
different red phases >RED 1< and >RED 2<.
5.) Press "4" to go to menu point >RED 2<. Enter the required red phase as
described above.
6.) Press "4" to confirm your selection and go to the next menu point
>Green 1<.
Adjust the required times using "1" and "3". Now proceed in the same
way for >Green 2> and press "4" to confirm your inputs.
This already completes all the inputs necessary for alternating one-way traffic
control!

The display now shows:
Please go to the signal which you want to program as signal 1. Hold the front of the
hand box at a distance of approx. 1 metre face-to-face with the control housing under
the green chamber. Now press "OK".
The LED display in the control flickers on reception. Signal 1 now starts the program,
the signal head lights up and the hand box display shows:
If signal 1 has started, press "OK" to confirm. Otherwise press "2" to go back one step
in the menu. You can then start programming signal 1 again from the beginning. It may
help to reduce the distance between the signal and your hand box when sending data,
or improve the angle to the system if signal 1 does not start.
If you have pressed "OK" as confirmation, you now have up to 15 minutes time to
program the second signal. The display therefore shows:
The signal system has now been successfully programmed with the data which you
had entered previously in the hand box: alternating one-way traffic control has now
started.
Please continue reading on the next page for programming the signal for traffic control
at a T-junction or crossroads, with or without parallel signal heads.
Now program the second signal as explained above. Please now check that the second
signal has started up
Press "OK" to confirm. You can now switch the hand box off, and use it to program
other MPB 1400 signals located in other places.

control at T-junctions).
2.) Press "4" to confirm your selection (e.g. T-junction) and thus go to the

This already completes all the inputs for traffic control at T-junctions: you can now
program the signals accordingly, as described on page 5!
1.) In the menu point >Choose<, use "1" or "3" to select the required type of
traffic control, e.g. "crossroads" (function as signal system for traffic
control at crossroads).
Now select the red and green phases as described above. This time, you have to enter
four values in each case for red (1 – 4) and for green (1 – 4).
This already completes all the inputs for traffic control at crossroads: you can now
program the signals accordingly, as described on page 4!

Parallel signal heads
If repeat signals are to be erected on the left-hand side of the carriageway, or if two
synchronised signals are to be erected on the opposite side, you can use parallel signal
heads for this purpose. Synchronised parallel signal heads can be programmed for
traffic control as alternating one-way traffic, at T-junctions and also at crossroads.
To do so, after switching the hand box on, activate the submenu parallel signal heads
"par.sig.". To do so, press "2" to go back in the menu until you see
in the display. Press "3" to activate the inputs for parallel signal heads. ("1" would
deactivate this choice again). The display shows
Press "4" to move on in the menu and now define the time phases necessary for the
procedure as described above. You can then allocate the time inputs for each group to
up to max. 9 synchronised parallel signals.
>>>>>>
After entering the required number of parallel signal heads in the required groups, you
can now program them according to your allocation and as described above. You will
now see the corresponding menu for each signal head.
This already completes all the inputs for traffic control with parallel signal heads.
Press >OK< to switch the hand box off.
"1H1" stands for group 1 head 1. Press >OK< to start data transfer for every signal

CAUTION! You must activate a defined status at both signal heads to avoid any
misunderstandings in the construction site traffic! For example, if you switch
signal 1 to "red", then you must set signal 2 either to "red" as well, or to "green".
Please repeat the appropriate input at the other signal head. To stop the continuous
red mode, switch back toAutomatic as described above.
Select
