ITS6000 Highway Sign Two-Way Flash Controller

Optional on Series 6010 & 6020

The FAS6000 Flashing Advisory Sign Controller allows an operator to turn on or off a pair of flashing amber beacons on highway signs through wireless means – without compromising the AM broadcast signal. The FAS6000 Controller includes a solar-power collection-and-storage system (AC power source is an option), tone decoder, two amber 8" LED flashing signals for minimum maintenance, weatherproof fiberglass enclosure, mounts, wiring and instructions.

Each FAS6000 Flashing Advisory Sign Controller can recognize multiple on/off codes, allowing each sign to obey commands shared with other signs in the area. In this way, common groupings of Flashing Advisory Signs may be keyed on or off quickly in emergency situations.

LED Signals are rated for more than 100,000 hours of continuous operation. The sealed-gelled cell battery auto-disconnects at low voltage to preserve integrity. FAS6000’s 64-watt unbreakable solar panel and charging system allow many hours of operation per day without tapping into battery reserves. FAS6000 batteries provide approximately 60 hours of continuous dark operation. The solar charging system adds an additional 3-15 hours of operation per day, on the average, varying with location and season.
