Automatic Activation Bollard

• Aesthetically Pleasing
• Optional Audible Sounds
• Easily Installed In Sidewalk
• Simple Control Panel Installations
• 12VDC Operation (Down To 9VDC)
• Recognized As “The Place to Cross”
• Internally Illuminated Courtesy Light
• Directional Detecting Infrared Sensors

Automatic activation consists of “gateways” comprised of a pair of bollards. Each bollard contains built-in sensor module. These modules project and receive infrared light beams to the opposing bollard module.

A pair of bollard devices are placed opposing each other at either end of the crosswalk zone entrances. Typically, there are a total of 4 bollards per crosswalk.

As pedestrians enter into a crosswalk zone they pass between the bollards and automatically activate the Smart Crosswalk™ system.

The bollard “gate” system is directionally sensitive. It is only activated when entering the crosswalk zone and not when exiting.

These bollard are capable of accommodating up to a 60’ wide crosswalk entrance zone. The bollard “system” was developed and “pioneered” by LightGuard.

This activation method has the highest degree of reliability of any known automatic activation/detection for IRWL enhanced crosswalk systems. Our success has generated "imitation" products.

Each bollard contains an internal courtesy light making it visible at night. The bollards design is to “invite” pedestrians to enter a crosswalk at a desired location.

Pedestrian crossing sign (W11) without crosswalk lines and LED enhanced symbol. Typically Installed With Down Pointing Arrow (MUTCD Standard).

School crossing sign (W63) with out crosswalk lines and LED enhanced symbol (MUTCD standard).

Manual Push Button Activation Device

• ADA Compliant
• Easy Electrical Connections
• Easily Mounts To Existing Poles
• Available With Multiple Placards
• 12VDC Operation (Down To 9VDC)
• Supplemental Amber LED Illumination
• Comes In Pairs for Both Sides of Crosswalk

The push button manual Smart Crosswalk™ activation mechanism is used when manual control of the enhanced crosswalk system is preferred.

Push button activation devices are placed at each end of the crosswalk entrances. Push button activation devices come in pairs per crosswalk.

Once activated, the controller initiates an Enlighten1™ flashing light sequence alerting motorists of pedestrians entering the crosswalk.

The duration of the flashing sequence can be adjusted to allow adequate street crossing time.

Available with multiple placard styles – Braille, left facing figure, right facing figure, directional arrows, text only, and audible voice message or sounds available upon request.

LightGuard Systems newest technology is our System 9X LED dubbed LightStar™. Each signal head contains an acrylic prism which fills a void between the LED lamps and the signal head facing surface. This prism surface is buffed to a smooth finish and sealed. Each signal head light module contains 16 LED lamps, available in amber, red, and white with bi-colored options.

This new model features a watertight cable connector, solid-state electronics, potted sealing of the LED modules isolating electronic components from environmental moisture intrusion. The Debris Free™- Self Clearing Design eliminate most issues relating to lens blockage.

A Patent Pending method using Dove Prism™ Technology eliminates voids inside the signal head enhancing the rugged reliability of the unit. The new Systems 9 LightStar™ model virtually eliminates moisture intrusion and will operate under water without becoming disabled.

Typical IRWL system use employs several signal heads on both side of the crosswalk using Enlighten1™ flash rate, operating at a 50% duty cycle. The flashing light beam can be easily seen in daylight from 200 to 600 feet or more away, and at night up to 1,500 feet or more away.

The signal head module is designed to tightly fit into the protective base plate. It is easily connected to the electrical cable system wires with snap together, watertight connectors. The interior is designed with double redundancy to further isolate the LED modules from roadway moisture and corrosive intrusion.

The signal head unit is fastened to the base plate with stainless steel socket head .25"-20 screws with thread locks, anti-seize compound applied to the threads in the factory.
