eSTOP™ Lantern Unit
1. Connect power cable from eSTOP™ unit to battery box. To switch on the eSTOP™ unit, push the
small green Power Switch underneath the lantern unit. The green LED light will illuminate when
powered on. The lantern unit will be controlled its master - the Handheld Remote Controller (HRC)
once the HRC is paired.
Modes - The unit runs in two modes, the ‘Test Mode’ and ‘Operation Mode’.
Test Mode – when the unit first powers on, by default is in test mode. In this mode the
HRC can be used to perform lantern test. See HRC procedures for LED test function, each
lantern will light on for 0.5 seconds.
Operation Mode – The unit can be activated (using HRC) to ‘operation mode’ after power-
on/LED test. See HRC procedures for operation functions, when the unit first activates it
will flash Yellow for 5 seconds then default to Red, then halts for 5 seconds before it can
be operated.
2. When the lantern unit is on the RED state, a small yellow LED, called the “Red Light Indicator” will
flash. This Red Light Indicator shall be facing the workers on the worksite. It’s purpose is to indicate
to the workers on the jobsite that the traffic lantern is on red. The Red Light Indicator shall NOT
face the motorists.
3. The eSTOP™ Lantern Unit is also fitted with a “Cut-Off Switch”. This is the Power Switch, located
at the base of the lantern. This switch will turn off the lantern instantaneously as required. Must
also be switched of when not in use.
Note: When setting up the eSTOP™, the lanterns shall face away from motorists until the unit is activated for use
to control traffic (Operation Mode)

Hand Remote Controller – HRC
LED indicators – There is 3 type of LED indicators – Lantern, Status, Fault.
 Lantern indicators ❸❹ reflects the signal status of the paired lantern units.
 Status indicator ❿ represents the states and faults of the over system and indicates the following
colours:
o Red – when the HRC is off, Red indicates the HRC is charging. When the HRC is on, Red indicates
invalid press or fail pairing.
o Blue – once the HRC is powered on, the status indicator is Blue, which represents Test Mode.
o Green – when the HRC is off, Green indicates the HRC is fully charged and stopped charging. When
the HRC is on, Green indicates valid press or the system is in Operational Mode.
o Yellow/Amber – the Status will flash Yellow/Amber when the HRC batteries is low.
o Blank/no colour – the HRC is powered off, if Pressing the buttons does not sound a beep then the
HRC is faulty or battery is completely dead
 Fault indicators ❽❾ represents the states and faults of the respected paired unit.
o Blue – HRC is paired to a lantern unit but communication fail (no connection, may need to re-pair).
o Purple – The paired lantern is tilted and/or rotated from its starting position after Activation.
o Green – The paired lantern is communicating and operating normal.
o Yellow/Amber – The paired lantern battery is low.
o Red – The Paired lantern has a lantern fault in one of the LED.
Modes of Operations – The system runs in 2 modes, Test Mode and Operation Mode
 Test Mode (Status LED blue) - When the HRC first power up it is in Test Mode, during this mode you
can pair/un-pair any Lantern units (refer to pairing section). Once it’s paired to a Lantern units (and Fault
light is green), you can do a LED lantern test and check the battery of the Lantern unit (refer Lantern
Battery section).
 Operation Mode (Status LED green) - Once the HRC is paired and the Fault LED is green, the system
is be activated into Operation Mode. During this Mode, the operations of a Typical Traffic Signal can be
controlled, where the lantern can be controlled to STOP (go to Red) or GO (go to Green).

Operational Steps
1. Power On - Press and hold Power Button ❶ for 5 seconds to power on Handheld Remote
Control (HRC).
2. Fault indicators - When power is on Fault Indicator ❽❾ will show different colours
according to the fault hierarchy listed under Fault Reference ⓬ when more than one fault
occurs, the fault with lower hierarchy will not be displayed until higher level fault(s) have
been cleared.
3. Test - When first powered on, the HRC will starts in Test Mode and the Status Indicator
❿will show blue. During Test Mode the HRC can be used to pair to a specific eSTOP™ unit
(Refer to Pairing section). If the HRC is paired to an eSTOP™ unit the Fault Indicator ❽❾
will show Blue and change to green when Synced to the paired eSTOP™ unit (allow up to 1
minute for the Fault light to turn green and get synced). Once synced the HRC can be used
to control the eSTOP™ unit. Pressing Buttons ❻ or ❼ allows eSTOP™ lanterns to be
tested (A quick flashing sequence of the 3 colours to ensure the lights are working).
4. Activation - When ready to operate the eSTOP™, hold down Activation Button ❷ for 5
seconds to activate the synced eSTOP™ units into Operation Mode, the Status Indicator
❿ will then show Green. The eSTOP™ will only operate when Fault Indicator is green.
5. Start-up - Upon switching from Test Mode to Operation Mode the eSTOP™ lantern will
flash yellow for 5 seconds, then default to red. The Hand Control will lock for 5 seconds
and all buttons will not work during this time. After 5 seconds the eSTOP™ unit is in
Operation Mode.
6. Control Traffic Signals - Use Buttons ❺❻ or ❼ to operate the eSTOP™ for traffic
control. Use button ❻❼ to switch one or the other signal to turn green. (Note: in order
to turn a signal green one or both signal must be red first). Use button ❺ to change all
signals to red. (Note: the yellow lantern will activate for 4 seconds during the transition
from green to red. The LED indicators reflect the eSTOP™ lantern status).
7. De-activation - In Operation Mode, holding Activation Button❷ for 5 seconds returns the
eSTOP™ units to Test Mode. During transition from Operation Mode to Test Mode both
eSTOP™ unit lanterns flash yellow for 5 seconds.
8. Power off - In all modes, hold Power Button ❶ for 5 seconds to commence power off.
During Operation Mode the HRC will not power off if the paired units lost sync (comms
fail) to an eSTOP™ unit.
9. Switch off eSTOP™ power and disconnect battery cable before packing up.
Note: While in “off” mode, pressing “STOP” on the HRC will indicate battery life remaining.
In the event of forced power off is required on the HRC, pressing button “1” and “2” at the
same time forces the HRC to soft reset then powers off.

Pairing the eSTOP™ Handheld Remote Controller (HRC) to lantern units
The eSTOP™ HRC can be paired to any eSTOP™ lantern units. Once a lantern unit is paired to a
HRC it is stored in memory, they will be automatically synced when powered up and ready for
operation. By default a HRC is paired to 1 lantern unit only. Repairing is not required unless the
HRC is pairing to a different lantern unit, pairing 2 lantern unit to 1 HRC, or lanterns has been
mixed up and not knowing which lantern is paired.
It is recommended to begin pairing by un-pairing all lantern units from the HRC, this will reduce
confusion about which lantern unit if already paired previously. Follow the steps below to
begin the process.
Power on the HRC and the Lantern units, these must be in test mode for pairing
(status blue on button ❿)
Un-pairing eSTOP™
units
Un-pairing is required if the HRC is already paired to an unknown lantern and unable
to sync. To do this the HRC must be in test mode (status light is blue), the USB port
must be disconnected from the eSTOP™ unit. Press and hold Unit1 “Go” button ❻
for 5 seconds until a beep sounds. The HRC will flash a red light on the Status Indicator,
then Fault1 indicator will be blank, this indicates no lantern unit is paired to unit1 on
HRC.
Repeat this un-pairing process (using Unit2 “Go” button) to un-paired Unit2 (left side
of the HRC) if a second lantern is paired to Unit2 side. After un-pairing, Fault1 and
Fault2 indicator will be blank, where no LED is on.
Pairing eSTOP™ HRC Unit1 (Left side of the HRC)
1. When in test mode attach the micro USB cable from
the top of the HRC unit to the USB connector on the
base of the eSTOP™ lantern unit, show on the
image.
2. Press and hold Unit1 GO button ❻ for at least 4 seconds until a beep sounds. This single
beep indicates pairing has initiated and he button can be released.
When the pairing process is complete the HRC will sound either a fast double beep as
well as a green flashing light on the Status Indicator or a long single beep with a red
light on the Status Indicator.
• A fast double beep and green light indicates successful pairing. Fault1 indicator will
go blue once it’s paired and changed to green when synced (wireless communication
between HRC and the lantern is established) to the paired unit.

• A long, slow beep and red light on Status Indicator will indicate failed pairing.
The following issues may cause failed pairing:
1. USB cable is not attached properly
2. Unit is already paired on Unit2 (right side of the remote).
3. The eSTOP™ unit has no power/is not turned on (push green button at base of
eSTOP™).
4. The HRC and Lantern units are not in test mode
Once paired and synced (Fault1 indicator is Green, allow up to 60 seconds for this to turn
Green), unplug the USB cable, and a lantern LED test (short press unit1 “GO” button) can
be performed to test the paired lantern, follow HRC Operational Procedures to perform
LED test and operate the lantern units.
For eSTOP™ Multi models only, a second lantern can be paired to Unit1
(same side on the HRC), this is done by plugging the HRC to the second
lantern and repeat the same process above. When 2 lantern is paired to
Unit1 of the HRC, the lanterns are controlled and behaves simultaneously.
And Fault indicators will indicate Cyan color instead of green. The same process can be
done with HRC Unit2.
Pairing eSTOP™ HRC Unit2 (right side of the HRC)
1. Repeat the pairing process by pressing Unit2 GO button ❼ in Test Mode. Unit1 on the
HRC must be paired to an eSTOP™ before Unit2 can be paired.
Note: This is pairing a second lantern to right side of the same HRC, this pairing setup allows
2 lanterns to be controlled such that only 1 lantern can be Green at a time, if pairing as
single unit operations, only paired to Unit1 on each HRC with each eSTOP™. Unit2 on HRC
is not used.
Indicates in Cyan color when 2 unit
is
p
aired to one control button.
