Upon arriving at the job site, begin by completing the following tasks:
1. Determine location and position of lights as per job plans. See diagram below for an example of a typical work
zone.
2. Have flaggers control traffic on both ends of the work zone.
3. Disconnect the rear trailer at the end of the work zone, and position as necessary.
4. Lower front set of stabilizer jacks and remove safety chains from vehicle.
5. Disconnect system from vehicle completely. Lower the remaining jacks once vehicle is moved.
6. Level the trailer using all four stabilizer jacks. Remove tongue and tires if necessary.

7. Before deploying the mast arm, determine if the signal heads must be rotated. If so,
• Safely step up on to the trailer using the step on the fender.
• Use 9/16” wrenches to loosen the counter bolt on the light bracket. Loosen and remove the second bolt using the
same wrenches.
• With only the loose center bolt installed, the light bracket can now rotate 180 degrees. Rotate the bar, and reinstall
and tighten the bolts and nuts.
• Repeat this process for the second signal head on the trailer.
8. Transfer the mast arm to the operating position.
• Safely step up onto curb side fender using step on trailer fender
• Remove the two pins and clips located on the mast arms for transport

12 | Chapter 1 Setup & Removal
• Safely step down off fender using front step on trailer fender
9. Unfold the portion of the mast that has the traffic light
• When unfolding the mast arm out into the roadway you must stop traffic!
10. Unfold the center portion of the mast, as seen above.
11. Swing the mast arm open until the pin holes are aligned. Install the two pins and clips that you removed from the mast
arm.
12. Determine if you need to extend the traffic light over the roadway. To extend the overhead light:
• Remove the locking pin
• Slide arm out to desired distance
• Install the locking pin
• Secure excess cable to the arm to prevent it from hanging

13. Flip the workzone indicator light to the operating position.
• This light points back into the work zone as an indication of the current signal indication. If this light is illuminated,
that signal is currently in red. If the light is dark, the signal is currently green or yellow.
14. Raise mast arm to operating position.
• Remove pin and clip located on the rear support post. Keep this pin with you, as it will be used to lock the mast
arm in place once it has been raised.
• Ensure that there are no overhead wires or other obstructions before raising the arm.
• Turn on the hydraulic lift system by flipping the switch in the upper-right corner of the Horizon cabinet.
• Raise the mast arm using the Hydraulic Up/Down button in the upper left corner of the cabinet.

14 | Chapter 1 Setup & Removal
• Insert safety locking pin and clip that you removed from the rear support post
• Install pad lock to lock pin in place so no unauthorized person can lower mast arm
15. Transfer solar panels to operating position by removing the pins and sliding them outward.
Repeat these steps for the unit at the other end of the job site. The job site supervisor should have proper signs in loca-
tion.
You can now begin programming at light 1 (see Programming section). When the program is running you may release
flaggers from controlling traffic.
Removal of Trailers
To remove the trailers from the job site, follow the previous steps in reverse order. Start by lowering
the mast arm to the stowed position, making sure to replace all orange pins into the top of the
system for transport. If the extension arm was used, push it back to the standard position. Close
the solar panels and replace the gold pins to lock them in place. Make sure all tires and tongues are
in place and connect the trailer to a vehicle. Ensure that all stabilizer jacks are up before driving.

Chapter 2 Programming & Operation |
The controller cabinet houses the majority of the Horizon Signal components, including the Multi-Phase Controller, Data
Radio, Circuit Board, ProStar Solar Charge Controller, Hydraulic Control Switch, and Remote Monitoring System unit.
1. Multi-Phase Controller - Works in conjunction with other controllers in the signal
system to operate signal timing and sequencing. Internal conflict monitoring ensures
safe operation of all signals.
2. SRM6220 Data Radio - Provides wireless communication link between all signals in the
system, and allows for real-time monitoring of system. Range of about 1 mile in ideal
conditions.
3. Circuit Board - All connections to the controller are made here.
4. MorningStar ProStar - Solar charge controller that monitors solar amperage and battery
voltage.
5. Remote Monitoring System (RMS) - Provides geographic location of system as well as
alerts to fault modes and low battery voltages.
6. Hydraulic Up/Down Button - Raises and lowers mast arm. Hydraulic system must be
powered on (switch in upper-right corner) and safety pin must be removed before
raising the mast arm.
7. External Side Hirschmann Plug - Used for system monitoring and manual handling.
8. External Lower Hirschmann Plug - Used for sensors, video detection, etc.

System Features
1. The Horizon Signal system is capable of three modes of operation.
• Radio - Wireless communication between all controllers in the system.
• Cable - Wired communication between all controllers in the system.
• Quartz - Synchronized timing of all controllers in the system via quartz clocks. Controllers
do not communicate in this mode.
• A system can also utilize a mixture of radio and cable connections.
2. Systems can include up to 8 controllers or 7 phases of traffic.
3. Pre-defined programs for work zone signals make programming quick and easy.
4. Traffic dependent programs: green extension, rest in red, and priority detection.
5. INTERSECTION+ programming can be used for advanced possibilities, pedestrian and turn signals.
6. Memory storage allows the user to save up to 10 frequently used programs.
7. Programmable error signals: flash red, flash yellow, solid red, or lamps off.
8. Internal data logger records controller activity and errors.
The Controller
The controller is where the currently running program is stored. It is the device that coordinates all
of the signals within a system and ensures that they all operate properly. The controller can also
detect errors on a signal or in a group. Each phase of traffic has at least one controller.
The controller is programmed using the micro-terminal. The micro-terminal plugs into the face of the
controller via the 7-pin recept next to the power toggle switch.
