System Features
The Horizon Signal SQ2 PTS system is capable of three communicaon types:
Radio - Wireless communicaon between all controllers in the system.
Cable - Wired communicaon between all controllers in the system.
Quartz - Synchronized ming of all controllers in the system via quartz clocks. Controllers do not
communicate in this mode. NOT RECOMMENDED!
A system can also ulize a mixture of radio and cable connecons (Communicaon must be set to Radio to
achieve this). Systems can include up to 14 controllers or phases of trac. Mulple controllers can be
grouped into the same trac phase.
Mul-Signal 2.0 Controller
The Mul-Signal 2.0 Controller is capable of two Operaon modes, changeable via the Operaon Selector
Switch inside the SQ2 console box:
1. Enhanced Operaon - Ulizes all features of the MS 2.0 Controller. Each PTS must have a MS 2.0
controller installed. To acvate Enhanced Mode, power on the controller with the Operaon Selector
switch in the upward posion.
2. Compability Operaon - Allows MS 2.0 Controllers to work in conjuncon with MS 1.0 controllers.
(See Page 21 for more informaon on how to enable this mode.) To acvate Compability Mode,
power on the controller with the Operaon Selector switch in the right posion.
The controller is programmed using the PTS Programmer hand-held module. The PTS Programmer plugs
into the face of the controller via the 7-pin receptacle indicated above.
The Rotary Switch can be used to quickly switch between Automac, Manual, and Flashing operaons. In
Enhanced Operaon turn the Rotary Switch of any controller in the system to select the desired seng, and
all other signals in the system will enter that mode. In Compability Operaon only the Master controller’s
Rotary Switch will select the desired seng for all other signals in the system. Before powering up the
controller make sure the Rotary Switch is in the “Automac”, or “Lamp O” posion only.

Assigning Controller Idenes
Before a program can be entered, all of the controllers in the system must be communicang. To accomplish this, each
controller is given an identy. Addionally, when using wireless communicaon, each radio must be assigned a
“Master” or “Remote” designaon as well as an operang channel and baud rate. Cable can also be used to link the
signals together.
Enhanced 4.0.41

1. To begin, power on the Controller with the PTS Programmer plugged in. You will be
presented with the inial startup screen which displays the current soware version
number.
2. You will then be presented with the “New System” screen. By answering “No,” no
changes are made to the controller’s identy. If you would like to make changes, use the
arrow buons to navigate the menu, and the plus/minus buons to change the values.
Connecon: Communicaon method. Choose from Radio,
Cable, or Quartz (no communicaon).
Amount of Controllers: Total number of controllers in the signal system
Controller: Identy of this specic controller
3. Repeat this process on each controller in your system. Remember that each controller
must have a dierent “Controller” Number, but the same total “Amount of Controllers”
and “Connecon” type. These sengs only have to be congured once, unless you are
changing the number of controllers in your system.
Conguring the Radio
PTS systems using radio communicaon require one Master radio which can relay program informaon to all other
Remote radios in the system. There are 14 channels that can be used for communicaon. To congure a radio press
the “M” menu buon then scroll down and select “Congure Radio” from the main menu.
1. Use the Arrow buons to select the Radio Type. Each system can only have one
Master; All others must be set to Remote.
2. Set the Channel. All signals (Master and all Remotes) must be on the same channel.
3. Set the Baud rate. For Enhanced Mode (Mul-Signal 2.0 controllers), the baud rate
should be 57600. For Compability Mode (using Mul-Signal 1.0 or a mix of 1.0 and
2.0 controllers), the Baud rate must be set to 19200.
4. On the DataLink SRM6230 Radio, press the “Reset/Cong” buon. The LED labeled
“M2” will illuminate.
5. On the PTS Programmer, change “Read” to “Send” using the Plus (+) buon. To
apply the new radio conguraon press the green “E” buon repeatedly at a mod-
erate rate of speed unl the “M2” & “M1” LEDs both go out. Next the “M2” LED
will icker and go back out while the “M1” LED will come back on and stay on.

Basic Programming
Programs can be edited or changed at any me while the PTS system is running. By plugging in the PTS Programmer,
the user can create new programs without any eect on the current program. A new program that is created will be
loaded during the next Red Clearance me, and will be undetectable by motorists.
The PTS Programmer has several program templates for you to choose from. These simple templates represent the
most common types of work zones. To pick the correct template, you will need to know how many phases of trac will
be in your work zone and how many Horizon controllers will be in the system. When necessary, basic programs will
automacally group Lights numerically based on their controller idenes.
For more advanced programming, or programs that do not fall into any of the templates, “SPECIAL” programming
should be used.

It is important to set the PTS Programmer’s clock to the correct date and me. This
ensures that the Data Log is keeping an accurate record of events, and also is vital
when using day phase programming, which changes programs based on me of day,
or day of week.
Use the “Arrow” buons to navigate and select the values to change. Use “Plus and
Minus” buons to adjust those values. Press “E” on “Set” when complete.

3. Set the green me for Phase 1/C1 (carts 1 & 2). The rst number on the screen is the
base green. This is the minimum amount of green me a given phase will allow without
detecon. The second number is the extension me. The extension will only be applied
if the system is using some form of vehicle detecon. If you are not using detecon,
the extension will be ignored. Base green plus extension equals your maximum green
me.
When set to “Yes,” “Rest in Red” means that the given phase will only turn green in the
event of a vehicle detecon. When set to “No,” the signal will cycle as normal.
“Red Extens” sets a maximum addional red clearance me extension in seconds in
case the work zone is not clear at the end of the regular “All Red” me. An extra sensor
must use the Red Clearance Extension circuit and must have “Red Extens” enabled in
the PTS Programmer’s ”System Opons”.
4. Set the green me for Phase 2 (C2) (carts 3 & 4). These values can dier from those
set for Phase 1 (C1).
5. Quartz substuon allows the signal system to connue to operate following a
communicaons loss. It ulizes quartz clock ming for synchronizaon between
signals. Signals are not in communicaon when this mode is enabled.
*Important if Enabled make sure the “Time and Date” are set correctly in the “System
Opons” before entering a program, and that the same PTS Programmer is used on all
signals in the system.*
6. Your program can be given a custom name to help idenfy it. Use the “Plus and

the Main Menu, and select “SPECIAL.”
1. Start by seng the number of groups (phases of trac). For a typical lane closure
project, with (2) SQ2 PTS on either end of the work zone (4 SQ2s total), there would
be two groups.
2. Sengs for Group 1/ C1 (Phase 1, Carts 1 & 2) get entered rst.
Controllers: The number of controllers in the given phase (2, Carts 1 & 2).
Yellow: Yellow me for the given phase.
Trac Gap: Amount of me between vehicles that the controller will
hold a detecon.
Delay: The amount of me vehicle detecon is delayed in seconds.
*Must use true presence detecon*

5. Set the number of programs. Up to 20 dierent programs can be created, each with
dierent green mes for dierent mes of day / day of week. If you do not wish to
change mings based on me of day/day of week, keep this value at 1.
6. Set the green mes for Phase 1/C1 (Carts 1 & 2). The rst number on the screen is the
base green. This is the minimum amount of green me a given phase will allow without
detecon. The second number is the extension me. The extension will only be applied
if the system is using some form of vehicle detecon. If you are not using detecon, the
extension will be ignored. Base green plus extension equals your maximum green me.
Rest in Red: When set to “Yes,” Rest in Red means that the given phase will only turn
green in the event of a vehicle detecon. When set to “No,” the signal will cycle as
normal.
Priority: If set to yes gives this group green priority over other groups with priority set
to “No” upon vehicle detecon. All other groups without priority are limited to their
minimum or base green mes.
Unlock: If set to “Yes” the vehicle detecon can drop out before a green is served (i.e.
right turns) . Must use true presence detecon.
Red Extens: Set a maximum addional red clearance me extension in seconds in case
the work zone is not clear at the end of the regular “All Red” me. Must have sensor
using Red Clearance Extension circuit and must have “Red Extens” enabled in the PTS
Programmers “System Opons”.

System Opons
To change these sengs, choose “System Opons” from the Main Menu.
 Language sets the PTS Programmer’s language.
 Signal sets units of distance and speed to the appropriate country (USA standard or Canada - CND metric).
 Red manual allows the user to manually handle the system with no regard for programmed Red clearance
me. When the opon is disabled (set to “No”), the Red clearance me from the last program entered is
automacally added between opposing greens when manually handling.
 Preempon sets the maximum me in seconds a preempon detecon can be acve.
 Timeout refers to the amount of me the controller will tolerate a break in radio communicaon. Note
that the higher this number is, the longer it will take the system to fail in the event of a communicaon loss.
The default Horizon value is 5.0 seconds
 Quartz Sub is an opon that allows the system to connue operang once radio communicaon has been
lost. If communicaon is broken for longer than the “Timeout” value, the controller can revert to Quartz
mode to connue operang. By default, this opon is set to “Disabled.” There are four other opons to
choose from in the event of lost communicaon:
 Enabled - Normal operaon during green intervals, although extension mes are disregarded.
 Error - Instead of a green indicaon, the programmed Error mode is displayed during green intervals.
 Preset - Uses the Quartz Substuon seng selected during programming.
 Lamps O - Instead of a green indicaon, lamps go dark during green intervals.
When the system is running in Quartz Substuon mode, extended green mes will be disabled due to the
loss of communicaon. All green mes will equal the base green me plus half the extension me. If
communicaon is reestablished, the program will run as normal. Once acvated, the system will run a
minimum of 2 cycles before returning to radio mode (once communicaon has been re-established).
 Error is the mode that the system will enter in the event of a failure when running a program. Flash Red,
Flash Yellow, Solid Red, and Lamp O are available. Flash Red is the default seng. *“Special” program-
ming allows for each signal to have its own “Error Mode”.*
 Flash is the indicaon that the system will enter when the user manually acvates Flash Mode via the PTS
Programmer/Controller’s Rotary Switch when running a program. Flash Red, Flash Yellow, Solid Red, and
Lamp O are available. Flash Red is the default seng. *“Special” programming allows for each signal to
have its own ash mode.*
 Horn should always be set to “error”. Not used.
 Red Extens. Red me clearance extender can be “enabled” or “disabled”. If enabled Red me clearance
extender circuit can be used. When disabled “Red Extens” is not available during programming.

System Mode
The mode funcon of the PTS Programmer is used to change between signal operaon modes. This menu can also be
accessed by simply pressing “E” from the home screen, or using the Controller’s Rotary Switch. Once inside this menu,
the user can scroll through the various operaonal modes by using the Up and Down Arrow buons and pressing “E”
to select and enter that mode. When a mode is selected, it will not change unl the next programmed red clearance
interval has expired.
 Automac Runs the currently loaded program
 Manual Signals are operated manually via the PTS Programmer. User cannot override red clearance
mes (unless Red Manual is “Enabled” in the “System Opons”).
 Flash Signals will operate in the Flash mode selected in the “System Opons” menu (Red, Flash Red,
Flash Yellow, or Lamps O). “Special” programs allow for override of this seng with
in the program.
 Lamps O Signal indicaons will go dark and no longer be displayed. Program is not deleted.
 Red All signals will go to a solid red indicaon and remain in this state unl the mode is
changed.
 Flash Red All signals will go to a ashing red indicaon and remain in this state unl the mode is
changed.
 Flash Yellow All signals will go to a ashing yellow indicaon and remain in this state unl the mode is
changed.
 Reset Resets program clearing faults.
 Stop The current program is stopped and erased (if not previously saved program is gone forever).
Signals will go to Flash mode. A new program must be created or loaded from memory before
signals can operate in Automac mode again.

Compability Operaon
Mul-Signal 2.0 controllers can be used in conjuncon with previous generaon Mul-Signal 1.0 controllers in
Compability Operaon. When operang in this mode, all controllers are limited to the capabilies of the MS 1.0
system. Follow the steps below to enter Compability Mode:
Compability 4.0.41
Congure Radio
Read: - - -
Radio Type Remote
Channel 11
Baudrate 19200
Read
1. With the MS 2.0 controller powered OFF, ip the Operaon Selector Switch to
the right posion to select Compability Operaon.
2. Power MS 2.0 controller back ON.
3. To use the 2.0 PTS Programmer:
Plug in the PTS Programmer. When the Horizon Signal Logo Screen appears,
press “R” and “E” buons at the same me. The tle heading of the screen will
change to say “Compability” and the soware version. (Press “R+E” again to go
back to Enhanced Mode for systems with exclusively MS 2.0 controllers).
4. To use MS 1.0 Micro-Terminal:
MS 1.0 Micro-Terminals may be used on MS 2.0 controllers operang in
Compability Mode. There is no need to change the mode of the Micro-Terminal
just plug and play.
Systems running in Compability Operaon must have all radios set to a Baud
rate of 19200. (Enhanced Mode must be set to 57600). Follow the steps on Page
12 to set radio parameters. Micro-Terminals will always automacally use a
Baud rate of 19200 therefore cannot be used on MS 2.0 in Enhanced operaon.
Note: the PTS Programmer’s radio “Read” funcon is sll available in
Compability Operaon.
You can now enter a program as normal. Keep in mind that you are limited to the features and funcons of
the previous generaon operang system while in Compability Operaon.
To return to Enhanced Operaon, make sure to ip the Operaon Selector Switch back to the UP posion then
cycle the controllers power. Next conrm that your PTS Programmer is not in “Compability” Mode (step 3
above). You will also need to adjust your radio Baud rate back to 57600.
