Introduction:
With our Safety Site Traffic Control/Landing Zone Kit you will be
using highly effective, long lasting super bright LED technology
while providing a safe alternative to road flares usage. These light
modules are perfect for temporary warning in areas such as,
accident or breakdown control, emergency landing zone
designation or to improve safety at police check points or in any
situation where road flares can be used.
By utilizing our Safety
Site Traffic Control/
Landing Zone Kit, an
effective 5 LED LZ can
be deployed in
seconds. We
recommend using 4
LED's for the LZ
perimeter, and a 5th
LED (with a different
flash pattern) to
indicate wind direction
or the center of the LZ.
For the preferred LZ
configuration and
procedures, please
contact your regional
helicopter provider.
Operation:
All functions of the Safety Site are activated using the control
button.
Activate the unit by pressing the control button. Each press of this
button advances through the activation cycle. The activation cycle
is as follows:
OFF / Mode 1 (FlareFlicker) / Mode 2 (SingleFlash) / Mode
3 (CometFlash®) / Mode 4 (Steady On) / OFF.
Low Battery Information:
Battery life is significantly effected by cold temperatures. For best
results at temperatures below 32° F, store the unit between 45° F
and 75° F when not in use. Batteries Not Included.
NOTE: Storing batteries at temperatures above 90° F will
shorten their shelf life.
This unit is designed to alert users if a low battery condition exists.
If the user tries to activate the unit when a low battery condition
has been detected, the unit will produce a single flash and then
turn off. Subsequent attempts to activate the unit will produce the
same results.
If a low battery condition is detected while the unit is in operation,
the current display mode will be replaced with a unique ‘alert’
mode. No other display modes are available
If the unit exhibits either of these behaviors, immediately replace
all 3 batteries.
To replace the batteries, remove the 3 screws that secure the top
cover to the bottom base. WIth these screws removed, lift the
cover off the base and set aside. Do not subject the wires
connecting the battery holder to the LED circuit board to
unnecessary strain.
Remove screws and cover to
replace batteries.

Optional Mounting Accessories:
All optional accessories are screwed into the
threaded tripod mount located on the upper
portion of the base of the unit. For example,
the Elevation Ring would first be threaded
into the tripod mount. This ring can now be
slid over the top of traffic cones and/or road
triangles for dramatically increased visibility.
