EDI launches new SmartMonitor series

February 28, 2013 Read time: 2 mins

The latest MMU2-16LEip and MMU2-16LE SmartMonitors from 41 Eberle Design (EDI) are both fully compliant with the recently updated NEMA TS2-2003 (R2008) Standard for Traffic Controller Assemblies, amendment 4-2012, which defines flashing yellow arrow (FYA) operation for both the controller unit and the MMU. The new SmartMonitor series is designed to monitor an intersection with up to four approaches using the four section FYA movement outlined by the MUTCD 2009. For monitoring purposes an FYA approach is logically defined as a four input channel consisting of the solid red, solid yellow, flashing, and solid green arrows.

Twelve cabinet modes are now supported in the SmartMonitor, providing configuration choices based on the number of load switches provided and the capabilities of the controller unit. In all modes, the new SmartMonitors have been designed to provide the same broad fault coverage for the FYA approaches as they do for conventional protected left turn phases including conflict, red fail, dual indication, and both minimum yellow and minimum yellow plus red clearance monitoring. The MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor series includes a built-in setup wizard to quickly and accurately configure the monitor programming parameters. The built-in context-sensitive help system and patented diagnostic wizard then automatically pinpoint faulty signals, providing technicians with assistance and data feedback at a push of the help button. The menu driven operation presents signal voltages, data logs and vital cabinet information on the SmartMonitor front panel displays. EDI claims to be the first MMU manufacturer to be fully conformant to the new NEMA standard and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requirements.
