G SERIES USER MANUAL
6.0 ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROGRAMMING
Flash Pattern
The EMS can be programmed for 11 different flash patterns.
• RFB
Standard FHWA RRFB WW+S (wig-wag plus simultaneous) flash pattern.
• RFB1 RRFB flash pattern (WW+S), timing is less accurate than rFb pattern and should only be used to
match existing systems that are using rFb1.
• RFB2
WSDOT custom pattern for circular rapid flashing beacons.
• 0.5U
MUTCD-compliant unison flash 0.5 second pulse 60 flashes per minute.
• 0.5A
MUTCD-compliant alternating flash 0.5 second pulse 60 flashes per minute. Carmanah default.
•
0.5A3
MUTCD-compliant alternating flash 0.5 second pulse 60 flashes per minute for 3 alternating
beacons (2+1).
• 0.1U Unison flash 0.1 second pulse 60 flashes per minute.
• 0.25U
Unison flash 0.25 second pulse 60 flashes per minute.
• 0.1UF
Unison quick flash. Burst of three 0.1 second pulse flashes. 60 bursts per minute.
• 0.1AF
Alternating quick flash. Burst of three 0.1 second pulse flashes. 60 bursts per minute.
• stdy
steady on (output1 only), multiple LED loads must be connected in series.
The flash pattern is pre-set at the factory based on your requirements and installation location, which are typically
discussed at the time of ordering. Should the installation location or situation change, you can adjust this setting.
Please contact Carmanah Customer Service prior to making any adjustments.
If a single fixture is being used, a unison flash pattern must be selected. If a single fixture is set
to an alternating pattern, the EMS will attempt to turn on a second fixture and generate an LED
fault when it cannot. The EMS uses a single LED driver that toggles two “banks” on and off. For
alternating flashing, fixtures are attached to different banks. An RRFB light bar uses both banks
to achieve its mix of alternating and simultaneous flashing.
When an odd number of circular beacons is used, a unison flash pattern must be selected to
achieve consistent brightness between beacons or the 0.5A3 special pattern.
When programming intensity for RRFBs or ITE-compliant circular beacons , minimum current
settings must be applied (see the Intensity section). Contact Carmanah for guidance.
When connecting multiple LED Loads using the stdY flash pattern, loads must be connected in
series to avoid thermal runaway. The combined forward voltage of all the loads connected in
series must be less than 30V.
