1.5 Limitations of scope

This manual supplement provides an overview of the Flash Technology Road Holding Position Light with

wireless remote control.

This manual is supplemental to the general user manual and is not intended as a replacement. Consult the

general user manual for all other aspects of setup, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

This manual supplement provides rudimentary information for the Flash Technology aviation products

wireless Handheld Controller as it applies to the Road Holding Position Light only. Consult the Handheld

Controller manual for all other aspects of operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

2.0 Theory of operation

The Road Holding Position Light is a solar-powered vehicle traffic flashing beacon system designed to provide

continuous 24-hour visual warning of mandatory roadway stop points and hazards. The beacon provides an on-off

flash pattern compliant with U.S. Federal Highways Administration, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices

(MUTCD). The beacon also complies with the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Vehicle Traffic Control Signal

Heads (VTCSH) requirement for beam shape and chromaticity.

Note:

This system has been factory-configured to meet the VTCSH requirement for light output intensity: 365 candelas

The Road Holding Position Light is designed to operate continuously 24-hour per day. The product described

herein has been fitted with a 900 MHz radio receiver, which can provide on-off control of the system or temporary

timed 15-minute on cycles. See section 5.0 of this document for a table describing wireless control states and

operational modes.

3.0 Product Set-up

Please refer to the user manual for complete product set-up and product warnings

3.1 Antenna Installation

The control cabinet has been furnished with a replaceable whip style antenna.

Locate the antenna inside the cabinet and install it on the exterior of the control cabinet

as shown.

USER MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

R247-G with Wireless Control

3.2 Mechanical Arrangement and Mounting

Note:

Consult the product user manual for an overview of mechanical components and general guidelines on system

mounting and electrical connectivity.

Note:

For wireless operation, line-of-sight is required between the Handheld Controller and the receiving antenna on the

system cabinet. The final physical arrangement of the control cabinet, solar panel, beacons and signage should not

impede line-of-sight between the location of the Handheld Controller and receiving systems.

Failure to provide line-of-sight between transmitting and receiving antennas may result in

unreliable system control

4.0 Product Configuration

This product has been configured for wireless on-demand activation, however, the product can also be operated

manually and can be configured to work autonomously 24 hours per day.

4.1 Wireless Control

For wireless control, the system will need to be configured as an R829 product. See user manual excerpt below:

Note:

Please consult the product user manual for instructions for using the on-board user interface (OBUI) and the

complete list of user programmable settings.

Figure 2. OBUI Detail

4.1.1 Grouping

The system can be assigned to one of 8 individual groups or “channels” on the Handheld Controller.

Please consult the appendix of the Handheld Controller manual for the location of the grouping button and the

following manual for complete information on assigning products to individual groups for wireless control

Note:

This product has been factory-set to respond to group #1 as a default.

USER MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

R247-G with Wireless Control

4.2 Non-Wireless Control

For non-wireless 24-7 operation, see user manual excerpt below for configuration:

Figure 3. OBUI Detail

Note:

When the system is configured for non-wireless 24-hour continuous operation, the system will no longer respond to

commands sent by the wireless controller.

4.3 Beacon Intensity Settings

This product has been sized and configured for sustainable 24-hour operation at ITE intensity for RED LED traffic

beacons –365 candelas (Current setting of 220mA on the OBUI).

Note:

If higher intensities are required either for 24-hour or temporary system activations, please consult Flash

Technology prior to making intensity adjustments.

Increasing beacon output intensity may result in either unsustainable operation or a

reduction in usable battery life.

5.0 System Activation

5.1 Wireless Control

Please consult the Handheld Controller user manual for complete instructions regarding the use of the wireless

controller.

When configured for wireless operation and when operated with the Handheld Controller, the system can be used

in one of two ways:

Autonomous Mode: The system once activated will remain active with the beacons flashing indefinitely

until the system receives a “Lights Off” command from the Handheld Controller.

Temporary Mode: The system once activated will remain active with the beacons flashing for 15 minutes,

after which, the system will automatically turn the beacons off, unless, the system recieves a “Lights Off”

command from the Handheld Controller in the interim.

USER MANUAL SUPPLEMENT

R247-G with Wireless Control

Note:

In wireless mode, when activated by the Handheld Controller, the system will flash the beacons at the intensity that

was preset through the system OBUI:

The Handheld Controller sends on/off commnands only.

Beacon intensity cannot be adjusted using the Handheld Controller
