Power disturbances that impact traffic signals and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) not only create potentially dangerous conditions for transportation users but immediate gridlock and congestion on arterials and outlying intersections – impacting air quality, noise levels and transit times. Year to year, traffic control system failure accounts for an immeasurable number of automobile accidents, personal injury/fatalities and insurance claims. While this is no surprise to those of us familiar with the challenges of transportation, many may be unaware that strategically deployed and reliable backup power can minimize or even neutralize the root cause of many of these problems.
HOW PREPARED ARE YOU FOR THE NEXT POWER DISTURBANCE?
Without a continual power supply, busy traffic intersections go dark and chaos ensues. A properly designed outdoor battery backup system keeps your traffic intersections alive. Traffic flows, accidents/injury is minimized and lives potentially saved. The FXM HP Family Power Supply (UPS) provides reliable, clean power to your traffic intersection for 8 hours or more after utility power fails. With low upfront procurement, installation and maintenance costs, backup power is within reach of your traffic operations budge.If your business is traffic operations, here are reasons why it makes sense to consider a Traffic UPS system:
- Provide continual power to your operating system in the event of a power outage, sag or brown out until regular utility power is restored – even in extreme weather conditions
- Condition and regulate the quality of the commercial power supply to your traffic system which improves reliability
- Keep your traffic intersections flowing and prevent or minimize severe accidents
- Reduce your operating expenses by eliminating false service call-outs and expensive truck rolls

- A wide range of weather-hardened, secure enclosures that permit flexible configuration and customization to meet specific requirements
- Automatic transfer and failsafe bypass switches that allow safe switching from utility to emergency power
- Paralleled battery configurations, stationary and portable gas-powered generators for extended run times at remote & critical locations
- Advanced gel-cell technology batteries featuring superior working life and reliability, and one of the longest battery warranties available
- Remote battery testing and diagnosis that drastically lowers maintenance time and cost.
- Battery heater mats to optimize battery performance in cold climates
FXM HP UPS FAMILY
The FXM HP is a new line of rugged UPS power modules for the most demanding environments where clean backup power is needed. FXM HP units ensure equipment in critical applications remains safe and protected from power disturbances and outages. Some of the key features of the FXM- Full-colour LCD touchscreen display
- Front panel LEDs for alarms, progress and status indication
- Dual Ethernet ports for remote or local communication
- USB-A port for upgrades or file management via a standard USB flash drive
- USB-Mini B port for soft shutdown using MegaTec protocol compliant client
- User-programmable dry contacts for control and monitoring of key functions
- Customizable user configurations that can be exported and imported to other FXM HP units
- The FXM HP can be placed on a shelf with no other parts needed. It can also be rack or wall-mounted or secured to a shelf, such as on an outdoor enclosure shelf, with the optional mounting brackets.
- During periods of surge or sag in the line voltage, a wider-range automatic voltage regulation means less dependence on batteries thus lengthening battery life
- Cloning configuration for easy set-up of multiple units
- Independently programmable user inputs and dry contact relays allow controlling and tracking of key functions
- Event and alarm logging with time and date stamping simplifies and accelerates troubleshooting
- A wide operating temperature range of -40 to 74°C (-40 to 165°F)1 is suitable for extreme operating environments
- Temperature compensated battery charging protects batteries from over-charging at extreme temperatures, extending the life of the battery
