Mounting the bottom part of the pedestrian signal requesting device Note: For ease of installation, unplug all connectors from the PCB in the top part of the housing (4), pulling them towards the centre! The bottom part (1) of the device is pre-assembled with the steel pole adaptor (protection against vandalism) (2) and (flexible) pole adapter (3).
Installation of a replacement device (hole spacing 80 mm) If mounting holes (1) already exist (thread spacing 80 mm), a predetermined breaking point (2) can be opened in the bottom part (3) of the device. • Remove the plastic caps (captive) (4). •...
Aligning the tactile pedestrian crossing symbol The pedestrian signal requesting device is factory-fitted with a tactile pedestrian crossing symbol (1). Proceed as follows if the specified direction of the tactile pedestrian crossing symbol does not match the direction required. Fig. 16 •...
Replacing the tactile pedestrian crossing symbol Description of the tactile pedestrian crossing symbols for the visually impaired DIN 32981 1 Crossing with additional signalling request 2 Crossing only (factory-fitted) 3 Crossing with central island 4 Crossing with level crossing 5 Crossing in two directions A more detailed description of the symbols and their functions is specified in DIN 32981.
General description of functions 10.1 Vibration Only connect the vibrator (tactile signalling device) to the monitored output of the soundguide EK598. The vibration clock rate adapts to the crossing signal. 10.2 Vibrating push-button (VPB) The VPB is factory-supplied as a normally open contact and can be changed or switched over to normally closed (depending on the option) if...
10.3 Signal request through sensor or large-surface button Depending on the version ordered, the signal is requested by touching the sensor surface or by pressing the large-surface push-button (1). Fig. 23 10.4 Loudspeaker When the loudspeaker is connected, the pedestrian signal requesting device also plays the orientation sound in addition to the acoustic soundguide.
