Getting started
This user manual describes the setting up and operation of the VTS10 and VTS20
strobe lights. The product is referred to as the 'VTS' throughout this User Manual,
unless the differences between the two models require them to be specifically
identified.
The VTS is a strobe light suitable for use in traffic applications. It is available
in white or infrared and can be controlled through an Ethernet connection or
RS232 depending on the version specified.
Read Section 2, Safety (or Section 3, Sicherheit, or Section 4, Sécurité) and
check the VTS fulfils your requirements.
Mount the VTS as described in Section 5, Mounting the VTS and connect the VTS
as described in Section 6, Connecting the VTS.
The VTS may be configured using its web pages if an Ethernet variant is used,
or by commands issued using the RS232 connection. To configure the VTS using
its web pages, refer to Section 9, Webpage configuration. The commands that
can be used are described in Section 10, Configuration commands.
