Preparing for operation
This chapter covers all of the actions that you need to carry
out when setting up an EVO system. The main stages are:
• Setting all vehicle slaves -
• Setting all pedestrian slaves -
Notes
• If you are setting up a dedicated pedestrian
• Older Pike XL2 slave controllers can be used as
part of an Evo layout for vehicle control, however,
if you require pedestrian crossings, then only Evo
controllers can be used. Once an XL2 controller is
introduced, the system operation will automatically
revert to an earlier HA Specification requirement
which is limited to four vehicle phases and has no
provision for pedestrian facilities.
• Every Evo controller can automatically sense which
type of signal heads (vehicle and/or pedestrian)
and will restrict/allow certain adjustments
accordingly. For instance, if an Evo PT5 controller
has only a vehicle signal head attached, then no
pedestrian slave options will be offered.
*
If a tactile indicator on a pedestrian panel
is NOT sensed by the controller during
startup, the display will first show
NO
TACTILE
. Press
SELECT
to acknowledge.
Next
• If the previous mode is appropriate, press
SELECT
and go to step
6
.
• If you need to make changes, go to step
4
opposite.
• If you need to change from master to slave
mode, press
MASTER/SLAVE
until the
SLAVE
indicator is lit. Then go to step
4
opposite.
SCAN option
On MULTI controllers at switch on, after scrolling through
the first 17 radio channel options, if the controller is in
Master mode, you will see a
SCAN
option. If you press
SELECT
to choose this option, the controller will scan
the surrounding area and show the first available clear
radio channel (takes approx. 20 seconds). You can
either press
SELECT
to choose that channel or manually
choose a different one. See page 13 for details.
Note: If vehicle and pedestrian heads are both fitted to the
same slave controller, you will be prompted to choose the
vehicle head designation, followed by the pedestrian head.
