Operation (CONT'D)
4. The ULB42-TD-2 controller also has three "option" buttons: Fast, Dim, and Alt.
Fast
This button allows the user the option to display any of the patterns in a "faster" mode.
This button will also change the two end lights to flash in a fast random pattern (if they
have been enabled by the Alt button). Pressing the "Fast" button once should change
the "Fast" label to red and speed up the pattern. Pressing the button again will change
the "Fast" label back to green and revert the pattern to the standard speed.
Dim
When the "Dim" button is pressed the "Dim" label
will change to red and the Traffic Director will dim
slightly (Night Mode). Pressing it again will return
the Traffic Director to full brightness.
Alt
The two arrays on each end are not part of the “traffic
directing” patterns. The "Alt" button will enable and
disable the end flashing LED arrays.
5. When using the Traffic Director, always be sure that the pattern selected is appropriate
for the present hazard condition. The potential danger in displaying an inappropriate
pattern cannot be overstated.
6. To avoid possible damage, the controller should be turned off prior to engine starting. It
is possible, though not likely, to confuse the controller if the vehicle's battery is low and
the engine is started with the controller running. If you notice that the controller's display
shows something out of the ordinary, simply push the power switch to the off position
and back on again. This should clear any fault caused by improper voltage being
supplied to the unit.
Once your Traffic Director is installed, please test all the patterns, options, and alternate
versions to familiarize yourself with the various patterns and the operation of the controller.
Troubleshooting
The ULB42-TD and ULB44-TD contain no user serviceable parts. The ULB42-TD-2
controller contains two ATO "blade-type" fuses located in the back of the controller. The
fuses are accessible from the rear of the controller. The 20 amp fuse controls power to the
bar light assembly, while the 2 amp fuse powers the controller. If the 20 amp fuse blows the
controller will continue to function normally, however, the lightstick will not. It is important to
note that under normal circumstances the only reason a fuse will blow is because there is a
fault in the system. If a fuse blows repeatedly it is a signal that something is wrong.
Do not replace a blown fuse with anything other than the same amperage rating as marked
on the rear panel of the controller; doing so may damage the unit, or worse yet start a fire.
Likely causes of blown fuses are improper wiring or harness damage.
Only the center 6 arrays will be utilized during the Left, Center Out, and Right patterns.
The last two segments on each end will alternate back and forth producing an In-Out warning pattern.
