ST950 Plus+ User Manual
Safety of Road Users
It is important that all personnel are aware of the dangers to road users that could arise during repair
and maintenance of traffic control equipment.
Ensure that appropriate traffic management and is signed at the junction area to warn motorists and
pedestrians of any dangers and to help protect the personnel working on the site.
Whilst repairing signals which are in an "all-out" condition, care must be taken to ensure that no spurious
signals are lit during testing which could mislead drivers or pedestrians.
Particular care is required where pedestrian audible devices are installed, to ensure that no false
indications are given during, for example, cable testing. Personnel should also ensure the safety of
pedestrians, especially children, who may come into contact with parts of the controller or signal poles.
Safety of Lithium Battery
This equipment may contain a Lithium coin cell (battery) if the optional RTC battery backup kit is
installed.
Do not short circuit, recharge, puncture, take apart, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge, ingest
or expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the product, otherwise
there is a risk of fire or explosion.
Batteries should be handled and stored carefully to avoid short circuits. Do not store in disorderly fashion
or allow metal objects to be mixed with stored batteries. Keep batteries between -30°C and 35°C for
prolonged storage.
The battery is a sealed unit which is not hazardous when used according to these recommendations. Do
not breathe vapours or touch any internal material with bare hands should the cell become damaged in
any way.
Battery disposal method should be in accordance with local, state and government regulations. In many
countries, batteries should not be disposed of into ordinary household waste. They must be recycled
properly to protect the environment and to cut down on the waste of precious resources.
