Fast Function for Left / Center Out / Right Patterns
The "Fast" button provides the user with the option to display any of the patterns (Left,
Center Out, or Right) in a "faster" mode. 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.
Alt and Fast Functions for Warn Pattern
When the Traffic Director is in the Warn pattern, the Alt button will scroll through 10
different versions of “WARN” patterns. The 10 versions differ depending upon if you
have the Fast button activated or not. Review the chart below for the different versions
that can be scrolled through.
6. 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.
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 TDDL15 lightsticks can be easily disassembled for
troubleshooting purposes. To gain access to the interior of the light,
remove the two screws in the endcap with the wire harness. The
entire assembly should slide out of the housing allowing you to
inspect the internal wiring looking for broken connections. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS WHEN REASSEMBLING!!!
The TD77-2 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 start a fire. Likely causes of blown fuses are improper wiring or harness damage.
