Encom Wireless

Simple, Versatile Control

The ENCOM safe2school system provides city-wide and state-wide centralized control and monitoring capabilities for all 110 V AC and 12 V DC solar powered School Zone Flashing Beacons. Replace obsolete pager-controlled and stand-alone time switches and upgrade to a powerful 900 MHz ENCOM wireless system with no ongoing costs.

Eliminate the hassles of poorly working pager networks, costly site visits, and manually inputting school zone schedules into stand-alone time switches with the safe2school system from ENCOM Wireless.

Designed for new and existing installations, the safe2school system is a complete end-to-end wireless solution that integrates with all flashing beacon assemblies.

safe2school features:

• safe2school is a centralized, wireless, flashing beacon management system
• Two-way 900 MHz dedicated communications network
• Eliminate ongoing costs
• Replace obsolete pager-controlled time switches
• Upgrade stand-alone time switches to centralized 900 MHz wireless control
• Upload, verify and download schedules from a central location
• Remotely monitor flashing-beacon health and flashing-beacon status
• Ethernet-based communications system
• Compatible with 12 V DC and 110 V AC systems

The safe2school system consists of three major components:

Zone Watch Software
	Create, modify, download and upload schedules to all WBCUs Monitor beacon health at all remote beacons Manual control/override of individual or groups of beacons Password protected
Central Management Software that provides a simple-to-use interface for monitoring and controlling all school-zone beacons from one central location. Schedules can be created or modified with ZoneWatch. Scheduled events are programmable by year, month, day, start time, duration or day of the week, including morning and afternoon flash cycles, early dismissal days, holidays and special events. Schedule updates can be downloaded to groups of beacons with a touch of a button. Confirmation of schedule receipt, along with beacon health status, is available in a user-friendly, intuitive interface. Manual override functions are also available.
WEB I/O
	900 MHz ENCOM FHSS Master radio 10/100 Ethernet Port (IP Addressable) Built-in Web server Network time server synchronization ensures accurate time Synchronizes time with remotes every two seconds Contains two hard-wired inputs and two outputs for control of local flashing beacons
The WEB I/O is built around ENCOM’s powerful 900 MHz master radio and contains a built-in web server to communicate with up to 255 remote Wireless Beacon Control Units (WBCU) within a 20-mile radius. The WEB I/O is IP enabled, so it can be connected anywhere on a wireless or wired LAN to achieve communications throughout your municipality. This feature allows for distributed communications architecture and ensures reliable connectivity over wide areas, even with challenging terrain.
WBCU (Wireless Beacon Control Unit)
	Powerful 900 MHz FHSS Remote radio Integrated real-time clock with battery backup Yearly schedule stored in non-volitile memory Manual override/test buttons Two hardwired inputs for auxiliary equipment such as push buttons Drop-in replacement for RTC, NAZTEC and ELTEC time switches 6-30 V DC and 110 V AC operation Environmentally hardened -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to 80°C) At the heart of every WBCU is ENCOM’s industry-leading 900 MHz remote radio along with an integrated real-time clock with battery backup. The WBCU has been designed as a "plug-and-play" replacement for existing stand-alone or pager-controlled time switches and is pin-for-pin compatible with existing cabinet wiring, minimizing installation time. Each WBCU contains two relay outputs for seamless integration into new and existing flashing beacon systems. Up to 255 WBCUs will communicate with each WEB I/O master radio and all have the ability to store a 365-day schedule for school-zone flashing-beacon events. The WBCU stores the school-zone schedule internally and will operate autonomously in the event of communication loss with the WEB I/O. The WBCU operates with 12 V DC solar and 110 V AC systems.
