Radix Tactile Indicators are typically used where the audible bleeper could lead to dangerous confusion, or where it would cause a noise nuisance. Two quick and easy-to-fit models are available.
The ITE200 integrated control and motor/cone assembly** is specifically designed for low voltage, 48V Near Side Signal installations where no "Flashing Green Man" is used. This unit simply fits into the "bleeper" space and requires just a two-wire connection in parallel with the Green Man signal.
Both the ITE200 indicator and the TU100 motor are provided with an integral self-centering collet and a sealing grommet for simple and durable fitting. The control Unit CU100 is normally housed in a convenient nearby signal head, drawing its power from the already "safe and interlocked" Green Man signal. For Pelican type signals, where the Green Man has a flashing period, an additional "audible indicator" signal is used to ensure cone rotattion during the Steady Green Man period only.
The patented electronic control circuit* requires such low power that it does not affect lamp monitoring circuits and can operate over the full dimmed or undimmed voltage range.
