4. Select the desired pattern (if different from the current pattern)
by using any of the Pattern Select buttons. The Pattern
Select buttons include Left, Center, Right, and Warn. The
selected pattern label should change to red and the light
output should mimic exactly the display on the controller.
5. The TD77-2 series controllers also have three "option" buttons:
Fast, Dim, and Alt.
Dim Button
This Traffic Director has three different levels of “brightness”. This
allows the user the option to dim the light for nighttime operation.
When the "Dim" button is pressed once the "Dim" label will change from green to red
and the Traffic Director will dim slightly (50%). Pressing it a second time will change the
button to orange and the traffic director will dim further (15%). Pressing it a third time
will return the Traffic Director to full brightness.
Alt and Fast Buttons
The Alt and Fast buttons have a different effect on the Left, Center Out, and Right
patterns than the effect they have on the Warn pattern.
Alt Function for Left / Center Out / Right Directional Patterns
Note: The options described below only apply if you have your controller in Standard Mode. If
you set the jumper for Phantom Mode (as described on page 4) the Alt button will only
enable or disable the two outer flashing arrays/heads and you should skip to the next page.
When your controller has the jumper set for Standard Mode (default), and when you
have the Left, Center-Out, or Right pattern selected, the "Alt" button will scroll through
eleven different alternate versions of that pattern. The version selected will apply to all
three directional patterns and will remain selected even if the unit is powered off.
• The first four versions (A-D) are 7-light versions designed for use with traffic
directors that may have an arrow painted on each end.
• The next four (E-H) are the same as the first four, but utilize all eight lights.
• I and J provide two additional 8-light versions.
• The final version (K) uses only the center six lights. The outer two lights are rapidly
flashed (similar to Phantom mode).
7-Light Patterns
A. Progressive 7 - Starts with one light and consecutively adds lights to the pattern until they
are all lit. The first light (usually in the shape of an arrow) will not
illuminate.
B. End Blink 7 - Same as the Progressive 7 version with the exception that the last light will
double blink.
C. Dual Light 7 - Only two lights will be lit at the same time. The two lights will "roll" in the
direction of the selected pattern. The first light will not illuminate in this
pattern.
D. Progressive 7 T13 - Superfast Progressive 7 (California Title 13 and SAE compliant *) .
8-Light Patterns
E. Progressive 8 - Same as the 7-Light version above, except all 8 lights are used.
F. End Blink 8 - Same as the 7-Light version above, except all 8 lights are used.
G. Dual Light 8 - Same as the 7-Light version above, except all 8 lights are used.
H. Progressive 8 T13 - Superfast version of Progressive 8 (California Title 13 and SAE compliant *)
I. Quad Light 8 T13 - 4-Head rolling version (California Title 13 and SAE compliant *)
J. Snake 8 T13 - 8-head rolling version (aka Progressive On, then Progressive Off)
(California Title 13 and SAE compliant *)
6-Light Pattern
K. Outer Flashing - Same as the Progressive pattern, but only uses the six center lights. The
outer two light alternate quickly back and forth.
