Description

General Description

The Guardian APS 4-Wire Push-Button Station comes with a Bluetooth® option, and is ready to install out of the box. A four conductor cable connects the Signal Power Interface (SPI) in the pedestrian signal head to the pedestrian station. The housing, machined from solid 6061 T6 AL and stainless steel materials, is virtually vandal proof. The ADA compliant push-button is designed to withstand severe impact. The Guardian provides essential information and audible indications required by the MUTCD and TAC, making the intersection accessible for all pedestrians. All sounds emanate from the front and side of the station where the pedestrian is positioned to enter into the crosswalk. A face plate and sign, with security mounting hardware, make it the most robust APS station on the market.
