Introduction
Welcome
T
HE RoboSign MK3 from Pike Signals
provides a quick and
simple solution for controlling traffic through a temporary
works site.
Each RoboSign unit consists of a battery powered base box
topped with a pole-mounted Stop-Go board. Wireless signals are
used to link two RoboSign units with a remote control held by a
single operator.
With repeated presses of a single button, a sole operator can
progress the RoboSign units through their traffic phases in tune
with vehicle conditions and the availability of the shuttle lane.
All electronics enclosures of the RoboSign MK 3 system are
sealed and contain no user serviceable parts.
Caution
• Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by incorrect types.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• See page 9 for further details about battery disconnection.
• The base units weigh more than 25Kg, do not attempt to
move one alone, always work together with a colleague.
• Signs may rotate unexpectedly, always take care when
working near a base unit.
Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the base units with a damp cloth. Do not
use pressure washers or steam cleaners.
Important notes for operators
Please ensure that you closely follow the instructions within this
manual when installing and operating the RoboSign MK 3 for
temporary traffic control. In particular, the following conditions
must all be met when operating the system:
• It must be daylight with good visibility.
• Two-way traffic flow should not exceed 850 vehicles per
hour.
• The base units must be placed no further than 200 metres
apart.

the use of manually operated Stop-Go board traffic control.
• The operator must have a safe and central vantage point with
a clear view of both Stop-Go boards and oncoming traffic.
• The operator must not be more than 100 metres from either
base unit.
If any of these conditions cannot be met then the RoboSign MK
3 system must not be used. If any of these conditions change
during operation, you must cease using the system.
This system must be installed and operated only by fully trained
and experienced personnel. Always consult your supervisor
if you are in any doubt about correct procedures or if you are
