Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) announces the availability of the Opticom™ Infrared System Model 794 LED Emitter and Model RC790 Remote Coding Unit for emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority applications.
The Model 794 emitter delivers the advantages of LED technology, including more consistent performance over the life of the product and 90 percent less power consumption which conserves power for other critical needs onboard a vehicle. It’s designed to be used with any of the installed base of Opticom™ Infrared Systems, making the transition seamless for Opticom infrared customers. The Model RC790 remote coding unit works with the Model 794 LED emitter, offering a convenient way to set up secure coding, perform configuration and run diagnostics. With range up to 25 feet, the remote coding unit eliminates the need to directly access the emitter in often hard-to-reach locations on a vehicle.
Niki Montgomery, marketing manager for this system, says “The Opticom system has a proven track record of superior performance in emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority. Last year we introduced the Opticom system central management software for enhanced system management. The new LED emitter and remote coding unit provide our customers the latest technology improvements available.” Continues Montgomery, “We carefully developed these new products as part of a matched component system, focusing on compatibility with existing Opticom infrared systems. We have accomplished that goal.”
