Solar Traffic Controls furnishes solar-powered school flashers for Toronto suburb

TEMPE, AZ 010606 - Solar Traffic Controls and Fortran Traffic Systems Ltd., (Scarborough, Ontario) recently completed the sale and installation of a large number of solar-powered school flashers in this Toronto suburb. The town had tried solar flashers previously and was disappointed with the results. The customer sought out Fortran after seeing an STC school flasher system in a neighboring town which Fortran had provided and installed.

The units use dual 8-inch amber DC LED lamps and a 2.5-inch confirmation lamp fixture on the rear of the pole. The solar flashers are equipped with an STC-01 time switch for control of the activation periods. The STC-01 provides for 10 holiday skip periods per year, 10 alternate schedule periods, and features a programmable memory chip option which allows the user to transfer programs using only the memory chip with no cables or laptop.

Materials furnished also included an STC-01 desktop programmer package with a memory chip to allow the user to program the year's schedule on the programmer, upload to the chip, and then program the field units with the chip. Standard STC school flasher systems were configured with band-type mounts to allow installation of the equipment on existing street light poles thereby minimizing the costs for the project.
