PEDESTRIAN section
Contains all items needed to configure and 
monitor (in master mode) up to four separate 
pedestrian crossings (see page 10).

Phase MODE / 
DEMAND
When setting up (as 
master), determines 
the signal head 
configuration, e.g. 
single or dual head or 
off (see page 9).
During operation, 
can be used to place 
a demand on this 
phase.  

Combined 
MAXIMUM GREEN 
and ALL RED phase 
timer
In master mode, this 
button and 3-digit 
readout are used to 
set the red and green 
timings for this phase 
(see page 9). 

Low battery 
indicator
Illuminates to 
warn that one 
or both of the 
remote heads on 
this phase are 
getting low on 
battery charge 
(see page 21).

ALL RED / MAX 
GREEN selector
Press to change 
between 
adjusting the 
MAX GREEN 
and the ALL 
RED timings on 
all active phases 
(see page 9). 

DEMAND
This indicator 
shows when 
the microwave 
vehicle detector 
recognises an 
approaching 
vehicle (see 
page 21).

Signal head mimic
During operation, 
these indicators show 
the signals currently 
being given at the 
head(s) for this phase 
(left side = single 
head; right side = dual 
head).  

For each phase

When the controller is used 
as a slave, regardless of 
which phase is set, the Phase 
5/Slave mimics are used to 
show what the Slave is doing.

Indicates that 
the controller 
supports 17 
different radio 
channels (see 
page 13).
