Safety Considerations
The eSTOP™ has been developed as a response to a need for safer working conditions for Traffic Controllers
on job sites. It is designed to remove Traffic Controllers from the hazard zones, but still allowing the Traffic
Controllers to manage traffic movement within the worksite from a safe distance. In order to reduce the
risk to road workers, traffic controllers and road users, the unit must at all times be operated effectively
and consistently by authorized and trained operators.
The eSTOP™ must be operated in accordance with all safety, operation and service instructions contained
in the manufacturer's operation and service manual. It is recommended that all operators read and
understand the manual before operating the eSTOP™. Operators must understand and comply with the
manufacturer's instructions as printed in the manual accompanying each eSTOP™ in conjunction with the
respective Company’s Safe Work Method Statement.
The eSTOP™ should only be operated by a designated, competent operator within the scope of on-site
operation parameters (such as the Company’s Safe Work Method Statement).
The eSTOP™ shall be installed in a suitable location clear of obstructions. An appropriate risk assessment
shall be conducted to ensure the safe and suitable use of the eSTOP™. Examples of factors to consider
when assessing suitable location are: a safe distance from the traffic path, so that wide loads or turning
vehicles will not impact the unit, length of worksite, volume of traffic and topography. The eSTOP™ should
be installed on a stable surface.
The unit including the lanterns (red, yellow and green), yellow light indicator and battery box shall be kept
clean. The equipment shall be handled with care.
The eSTOP™ batteries (both for the hand remote control and the lanterns) shall be fully charged before
operating the unit.
The eSTOP™ has been designed in accordance to DTMR’s (Department of Transport and Main Roads)
specifications, MUTCD guidelines and the MRTS254, ArrowES ISO quality system and ACMA approved. The
eSTOP™ has been approved for use by DTMR. The application of the eSTOP™ shall be in accordance to
these guidelines/standards as well as the respective company’s worksite risk assessment and Safe Work
Method Statements.
Any modifications made to the eSTOP™ (unless by or approved by ArrowES) could compromise the function
of the eSTOP™ and therefore the safe application of the units and voids the warranty of the eSTOP™.

Operational Procedures
When the units have been assembled.
eSTOP™ Lantern Unit
1. Connect power cable from Lantern to battery box. To switch on the Lantern, 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 by its master, the Handheld Remote Controller (HRC) once the
HRC is paired. Note to make sure the antenna on top of the lantern is vertical.
Modes - The unit runs in three modes, the Test Mode, Manual Mode, Auto 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.
Manual Mode – The unit can be activated (using HRC) to Manual 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.
Auto Mode – The unit can be activated (using HRC) to Auto Mode after activated to Manual
Mode. See HRC procedures for operation functions. When Auto Mode is activated, the
Yellow lantern may display a countdown status during the red state, to provide feedback
for the motorist when a green state will occur. Lantern State change in Auto Mode is
controlled by the HRC, the Lantern does not change to Green state after the countdown
ends. The HRC must remain running and within range of all Lantern units in Auto Mode.
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).
The lanterns must be in line of sight of the HRC at all time. The HRC is the master, all Lanterns communicates
directly to the HRC only.

Lights in a timing cycle.
Green Time – Time set for a lantern to stay green.
All Red Time – Time set for an all red time (usually the time required for a vehicle entering a site to exit the site
safely), red time is total time minus green time. Red time is generally determined by the time it takes for a
vehicle to exit the work site safely.
Enabling Vehicle Actuated - Vehicle actuations allows green time to be extended on the lantern where a
vehicle is detected. The extension is by 1 cycle of green time. If vehicle is remain detected and no vehicle on
the opposite end, the green time will continue extending for up to 5 cycles. (This results in maximum green
time of 5x(set green time). Green extension time will be cut short if there is vehicle detection on the opposite
side.
Enabling Count Down – This allows the lanterns to provide a countdown status feedback to motorist,
indicating the time till next Green state. Note the lantern does not changes to Green state after the
Countdown ends unless there is a command from the HRC to go Green.
