Pre-Installation and Structural Planning
The KTI KTI16029002ESLR Dual-Aspect Traffic Signal Light is engineered for rapid deployment across industrial automation environments, vehicle checkpoint lanes, weighbridge approaches, factory intersections, and boom barrier perimeters. Proper pre-installation planning ensures maximum visibility for approaching drivers and automated transport systems while maintaining structural stability under continuous 24/7 operational conditions.
Supplied as an integrated single housing unit with a net weight of 2.0 kg, the assembly utilizes a lightweight, weather-resistant polycarbonate construction. Because the unit is supplied without mounting poles, installation planners must determine the supporting infrastructure—such as vertical traffic poles, gantry masts, or surface mounting brackets—prior to field deployment. Ensure the mounting point can adequately support the 2.0 kg unit weight and resist environmental vibration typical of logistics yards and toll lanes.
Mechanical Mounting Procedures
Mounting the 200 mm dual-aspect polycarbonate signal housing requires secure mechanical fastening to dedicated vertical poles or structural surfaces:
- Location Selection: Position the unit at a clear line-of-sight elevation for vehicle drivers, boom barrier lanes, or weighbridge scales, ensuring the 200 mm round optical lenses face incoming traffic directly.
- Bracket & Pole Attachment: Fix the housing assembly to the selected mounting pole or surface bracket. Tighten all mechanical fasteners evenly to prevent physical stress or distortion on the polycarbonate casing.
- Aspect Orientation: Ensure standard vertical orientation with the 200 mm Red aspect positioned at the top and the 200 mm Green aspect positioned at the bottom for intuitive, standard industrial signaling.
Electrical Wiring and DC Power Connection
The KTI16029002ESLR operates exclusively on low-voltage direct current (12V DC / 24V DC). Field wiring must be executed in accordance with standard low-voltage industrial electrical practices.

Connect the low-voltage DC power supply lines to the internal terminal connections, isolating the switched positive feeds for the Red and Green channels alongside the common return path. Confirm polarity before energizing the 12V DC or 24V DC auxiliary power supply to avoid triggering errors or system faults.
System Integration with Automation Controllers
The low-voltage DC architecture makes the signal light directly compatible with industrial PLC digital outputs, dry contact relay boards, access control units, and boom barrier master boards:
- Boom Barrier Systems: Interface the Red signal trigger to the barrier closed status relay and the Green signal trigger to the barrier open/clear relay.
- Weighbridge Automation: Connect the 12V/24V DC inputs to weighbridge software relay controllers to hold vehicles during scale stabilization and signal clearance once gross weight capture is complete.
- RFID Access Gateways: Wire channel triggers through the access controller output relays to display Green upon authorized credential verification and Red during idle or denied access states.
Commissioning and Functional Verification
Once mechanical mounting and electrical termination are complete, perform a functional operational check by cycling through both signal aspects. Energize the 12V DC / 24V DC Red channel to confirm immediate illumination of the upper 200 mm round lens. De-energize the Red channel and trigger the Green channel to verify independent activation. Check the full signal transition logic across connected PLC or barrier triggers to validate continuous 24/7 operation readiness before handing the installation over for active lane control.
