5.1 Calendar Upload / Override Switch Kit Installation
The R829 and R247 are available with a lockable pole-mounted manual override box that is mounted lower down
on the mounting structure to allow easy access by individuals on the ground. The override box is used for forcing
the R829 to flash regardless of the calendar schedule and for forcing the R247 to temporarily cease flashing. For
R829 systems, this box will also contain the USB connection for programming the internal calendar. The USB
cable is used to communicate calendar data between the R829 and a windows PC. The override box can be
mounted on 2” square perforated and round poles. Assembly required.
Calendar Upload / Override Switch Kit
When used with the G Series, the Override Switch Kit comes with a harness that connects to the INPT+ and
INPT− terminals of the EMS and the switch terminals at the override box end.
For calendar-equipped systems, another related kit is the Calendar Software Programming Kit,
which includes a USB memory stick containing the School Zone Calendar Configuration Windows
application and a 32-foot active USB extension harness. The USB extension allows programming
from a distance from the pole—for example, from a laptop within a work vehicle parked nearby.
