WBCU
The WBCU is equipped with a CPC connector that makes it quick and easy to retrofit aging beacon systems. When deployed in areas with a high level of RF ‘noise’, the 900 MHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology ensures a strong connection in challenging environments.
The Wireless Beacon Control Unit (WBCU)is Encom’s simple to integrate and reliable in-cabinet solution for applications requiring scheduled On/Off control functionality. It’s perfect for:
- commercial vehicle inspection station flashing beacon
- traffic signal pre-emption systems
- school zone speed limit or pedestrian flashing beacons
Key Features
- 900 MHz FHSS integrated radio provides long range wireless connectivity 365-day calendar scheduling
- Calendars permanently stored in the device allow for autonomous operation
- Automatic clock synchronization with 2 second tolerance
- Auto DST and leap year adjustment
- LED indicator provides visual confirmation of schedule activation
- Event logging capabilities
- Historical I/O changes data in any input or output
- Extra inputs for pedestrian crosswalk push button
