Flashing ON / OFF.
In flashing mode, the feedback signal is switched
to flashing when cores 4 and 5 are actuated or in
APB mode.
APB ON / OFF
APB = Visual acknowledgement by push-button
or sensor. The device independently
acknowledges the signal request through visual
feedback.
The visual feedback is reset when the pedestrian
crossing signal is applied to the feedback input
(cores 4 and 5).
A short pulse length of 50 –500 ms is all that is
needed.
AS ON/OFF
AS = Acknowledgement sound. The
acknowledgement sound is emitted from the
integrated buzzer and audibly confirms the signal
request.
APB switching output / Sensor NC / NO.
Switching output vibrator NC / NO.
Note: All switch changes are only applied once the operating voltage has
been switched off for a minimum of five seconds and after
reactivation.

Installation
9.1 Drilling mounting holes in the pole
Fig. 10
We recommend using a spirit level to ensure
correct levelling.
•Remove the protective film from the
drilling template (1).
•Attach the drilling template to the pole so
that the bottom edge of the template is
850 mm above the footpath.
•Punch-mark 3 drill holes (2).
•Drill 2 holes with a diameter of 5 mm (3)
(for mounting).
•Cut 2 M6 threads (3).
•Drill 1 hole with a diameter of 14 mm (4)
(for the cable duct).
Langmatz recommends using a metal
drilling jig.
Langmatz item no. 700663080.
See also chapter 12 (Accessories).
9.2 Opening the pedestrian signal requesting device
•On the pedestrian signal requesting
device,
open the 2 locking screws (2) with a
size 4 Allen key and remove the top
part (1) of the device.

Fig. 12
Fig. 13
Note:
For ease of installation, unplug all
connectors from the PCB in the top
part of the housing (4), pulling them
towards the centre!
The bottom part (1) of the device is
pre-assembled with the steel pole
adaptor (protection against vandalism)
(2) and (flexible) pole adapter (3).
•Remove the plastic caps (captive) (2).
•Fasten the bottom part (1) of the device
to the pole with 2 M6x25 fastening
screws.
•Note:
- Torque = 5 Nm.
- Check that the pedestrian signal
requesting device is fitted correctly
on the pole.
•Put on the plastic caps (captive) (2)
again.
Note: Check that they are fitted
correctly. (Protection class!)
•Reconnect all connectors to the circuit
board in the top part of the housing (3).
•Connect the connection cable to the
cable distributor in accordance with the
block diagram (see chapter 4).
•Unused cores must be insulated.
A function test must be carried out
when the pedestrian signal requesting
device has been installed!

9.4 Installation of a replacement device (hole spacing 80 mm)
Fig. 14
Fig. 15
If mounting holes (1) already exist
(thread spacing 80 mm), a
predetermined breaking point (2) can
be opened in the bottom part (3) of the
device.
•Remove the plastic caps (captive) (4).
•Open the predetermined breaking point
(2) and deburr.
•Fasten the bottom part (3) of the device
to the pole with 2 M6x25 fastening
screws (5).
•Note:
- Torque = 5 Nm.
- Check that the pedestrian signal
requesting device is fitted correctly
on the pole.
•Close the upper housing hole with a
sealing plug (1) (yellow –accessories
kit).
•Turn the plastic caps (captive) (2)
downwards and attach to the fastening
screw.
Note: Check that they are fitted
correctly. (Protection class!)
•Connect the connection cable to the
cable distributor in accordance with the
block diagram (see chapter 4).
•Unused cores must be insulated.
A function test must be carried out
when the pedestrian signal requesting
device has been installed!

9.5 Aligning the tactile pedestrian crossing symbol
The pedestrian signal requesting device
is factory-fitted with a tactile pedestrian
crossing symbol (1).
Proceed as follows if the specified
direction of the tactile pedestrian
crossing symbol does not match the
direction required.
Fig. 16
•Insert the special key (1) behind the
crossing symbol and press down.
•The brackets (2) are opened.
Fig. 17
•Press the tactile pedestrian crossing
symbol (2) in slightly and click it out of
place.
•Turn the tactile pedestrian crossing
symbol in the required direction.
Note: The fitted spring must not fall
out!
•Remove the special key (1).
•Release the tactile pedestrian
crossing symbol and click it back into
place.
Note: Check the built-in seal for
correct fit.

Installation of the tactile pedestrian crossing symbol
•Open the brackets (2) with the special
key (1) (as described in chapter 9.5).
•Press the tactile pedestrian crossing
symbol (3) in slightly and click it out of
place.
•Fully pull out the tactile pedestrian
crossing symbol downwards.
Note: The crossing symbol is spring-
loaded. Catch the spring when pulling it
out!

•Insert the new tactile pedestrian
crossing symbol (2)
•Turn the tactile pedestrian crossing
symbol in the required direction.
Note: The fitted spring must not fall
out!
•Remove the special key (1).
•Release the tactile pedestrian crossing
symbol and click it back into place.

General description of functions
10.1 Vibration
Only connect the vibrator (tactile signalling device) to the monitored output of the
soundguide EK598.
The vibration clock rate adapts to the crossing signal.
10.2 Vibrating push-button (VPB)
Fig. 22
The VPB is factory-supplied as a
normally open contact and can be
changed or switched over to normally
closed (depending on the option) if
required.
Important:
When installation work has been
completed, check that the vibrating
push-button works correctly with the
tactile pedestrian crossing symbol (1)!
- Signal request option on the vibrating
push-button.
- Clearly noticeable vibration on the
crossing symbol while the pedestrian
crossing signal is activated.
