5. Operating modes
The EK 533 plus 2.0 pedestrian signal requesting device for the visually impaired has several
operating modes, allowing it to be used as flexibly as possible.
The relevant operating voltage must be selected in cgManager (see Fig. 66). Jumper position
(see Fig. 9).
Each mode has requirements for:
•Connecting the device to the control unit
•Software parameters
•Device hardware modifications (buffer PCB)
• When the operating voltage is
applied, the device is in initialisation
mode.
• The current operating mode is
displayed after the green signal is
activated for the first time.

Once the device is switched on, the operating voltage must be defined in cgManager. The device
is internally ready for operation. When the device detects overvoltage/undervoltage, it switches off
all tactile and acoustic signals. The device cannot be damaged by applying a higher/lower voltage
than the one in the settings. (See Page 42, Fig. 66.)

Function
of optional input 3 = Red signal
(see Fig. 65)
Fig. 6
Description:
Traffic light red status is signalled to the device via an additional input. The jumper, which
activates the device supply via the green pedestrian signal, is not connected. Erroneous
red/green signals are detected and switch off the device. Flashing mode is also activated by
device parametrisation. Using a special flashing release signal (FRS), this mode enables acoustic
notification that the green phase is coming to an end:
Signal progression
Fig. 7
Detection:
The FRS is only activated if there is a green signal for at least two seconds. The status "Green
flashing" is detected by a trailing edge on the green signal. If there is another pulse within 700 ms,
the device continues flashing green. If there is no further pulse, signalling switches off. The FRS is
also switched off by a red signal.
In PRF mode, the lack of a red or green signal is detected as sleep mode. This status is detected
but not signalled.
