How to Program a Shuttle Signal Plan (GPS Mode)

Synopsis: Once your TLDs are paired, you will be able to log in and create a signal plan for your work zone. It is recommended that you drive through the work zone yourself and calculate the time it takes to complete the run in order to have the most accurate times possible.

• Level: Easy
• Time required: 3-5 minutes
• Additional equipment required: None

Note: By pressing between both arrows, a keyboard will pop up and allow you to enter times manually

Minimum green: The shortest amount of time the signal displays green for a particular traffic movement.

Yellow time: The time during which the light will stay yellow (usually is left at 3 seconds by default).

Red time: The time it will take to clear the work zone before the other light turns green. It is recommended to put more red time than needed to avoid any collisions or roadblocks.

4. Tap twice on traffic phase 2 and modify your timings like in step #3

Note: GPS 1 will use Code 1, GPS 2 will use Code 2

8. Press Play and enter Code #1 and Group Code

9. Go to your secondary unit, press Play, and enter Code #2 and the Group Code. Once the second code is entered, the traffic lights will activate and communicate with each other

Note: When your signal plan starts, it is normal that both lights start off as red. This is due to the start-up mode selected in the initial pairing procedure. After running one cycle, your signal plan will kick in.
