    2.1 iNS2 Accessible Pedestrian Signal Push Button Station (PBS) The iNS2 is an Accessible Pedestrian Signal Push Button Station (PBS). These PBSs are typically used in pairs, mounted on poles at each end of a pedestrian crosswalk. Its purpose is to transmit a request for a Walk Signal to a Traffic Controller by pressing its button, then to provide audible and vibro-tactile feedback to the pedestrian, indicating the current status of the pedestrian signal.

    3.1 iNS2 System Operation During Intersection Flash The iNS2 APS buttons are designed to cease normal function in the event of intersection flash. When pedestrian walk and don’t walk signals are absent, the iCCU-X2 firmware suspends normal communication to disable the buttons. For added safety, we recommend the AC input power for the system be connected such that power to the buttons is removed during intersection flash.
