SAFETY INFORMATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT DUE TO THE HAZARDS PRESENT WITHIN THE
STRATOS OUTSTATION ALL POWER TO THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
WORKING ON THE UNIT (EXTERNAL MONITORED SUPPLIES MAY STILL BE
CONNECTED WHEN THE UNITS MAINS SUPPLY HAS BEEN ISOLATED). WHERE A
RISK ASSESSMENT AND METHOD STATEMENT FOR THE WORKS TO BE
COMPLETED AND / OR THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OEM EQUIPMENT BEING
INSTALLED OR REMOVED ALLOWS, LIVE WORKING MAY BE CONSIDERED.
Safety of Maintenance Personnel
In the interests of health and safety, when using or servicing this equipment the following
instructions must be noted and adhered to:
•Only skilled or instructed personnel with relevant technical knowledge and experience,
who are also familiar with the safety procedures required when dealing with modern
electrical/electronic equipment are to be allowed to use and/or work on the equipment.
All work shall be performed in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations
1989 or the relevant local, state and government regulations.
•Such personnel must take heed of all relevant notes, cautions and warnings in this
Handbook and any other Document or Handbook associated with the equipment
including, but not restricted to, the following:
•The equipment must be correctly connected to the specified incoming power
supply.
•The equipment must be disconnected / isolated from the incoming power supply
before removing any protective covers or working on any part from which the
protective covers have been removed.
•Any power tools must be regularly inspected and tested.
•Any ladders used must be inspected before use to ensure they are sound and not
damaged.
•When using a ladder, before climbing it, ensure that it is erected properly and is not
liable to collapse or move. If using a ladder near a carriageway, ensure that the
area is properly coned and signed.
•Any personnel working on site must wear the appropriate protective clothing, e.g.
reflective vests, etc.
There are various RJ45 connectors used to connect to peripheral boards
within the Stratos Outstation. Most are not Ethernet ports (See Figure 6) and
should not be connected to other equipment, including PCs to avoid damage
to the Stratos Outstation or user equipment.
The configuration process should only be carried out by persons who are adequately
trained, have a full understanding of the needs of the county or region were the unit is to
be used and are experienced in the tasks to be undertaken.

3 PRODUCT FEATURES DESCRIPTION
3.1 UTMC OTU
The UTMC OTU application implements both the Simple UTC MIB (TS004.004:2008
UM/004) and the Full UTC or UG405 MIB (TS004.004:2008UM/008).
The facilities are described in detail in the UTMC OTU Handbook 667/HB/46000/004.
3.2 MOVA (Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation)
The MOVA algorithm monitors the movement of vehicles through an intersection and then
adjusts the operation of the controller to optimise its flow. The Stratos Outstation
implements MOVA7.
Up to four MOVA 'kernels' (instances of the MOVA application) can be enabled with the
appropriate licenses, with each MOVA 'kernel' controlling and monitoring one stream of
the traffic controller.
The MOVA facilities are described in detail in the MOVA Handbook 667/HB/46000/003.
3.3 Controller Monitor
The Controller Monitoring application identifies and monitors a connected controller.
Detected conditions are raised in the Fault or Notification Table as appropriate. Where the
Outstation is connected to Stratos, these conditions are also reported to Stratos.
The Controller Monitor application requires very little configuration and in most cases the
default configuration will be appropriate. The configuration can be reviewed and changed
through the Controller Monitor configuration web page and its sub pages, see
667/HU/46000/000 for details.
3.4 Intelligent Parking
The Intelligent Parking application monitors parking bay sensors. Detected conditions are
raised in the Fault or Notification Table as appropriate.Where the Outstation is connected
to Stratos, these conditions and the parking bay status are reported to Stratos.
Configuration of the Intelligent Parking application is described in 667/HB/52800/000
(User Manual for IPS On Street Equipment).
3.5 Digital Input /Output
The Stratos outstation can be fitted with various I/O options for connection to detection
equipment and freestanding interface to controllers.
The integrated PSU board (section 4.6) includes a small number of I/O.
A maximum of three 48-16 I/O boards (section 0) can be fitted to the Stratos Outstation.
This provides a maximum general purpose I/O count for a Stratos Outstation as:

Total: 152 inputs, 50 outputs
It is also possible to connect the Intelligent Detector Backplane kit 667/1/32910/950 for
connection to loop detectors (section 4.9).
3.6 Backup Power for Last Gasp Dial
The inbuilt backup battery will be adequate for most backup applications where the
Stratos Outstation must communicate the power loss state to an in-station. The battery
backup period is set in firmware to 1 minute. After this time the Stratos Outstation will
switch itself off. Typically the backup power will also support any connected 48-16 IO
cards and a range of communications devices (e.g. IP router). The main supply (either AC
mains or 24V) must be re-instated for the unit to power on. The 1 minute period will be
sufficient in most cases for the communications to take place (last gasp dial). This period
protects and maximizes battery life. For more information see section 4.7 and the IP
Router Installation Guide 667/CI/45025/000.
3.7 Clock System
The software real time clock that controls the system records seconds, minutes, hours,
day, month, year and day of week. The clock also has a standby RTC circuit which
remains supported during power failures for up to 48 Hours.
An external RTC backup input on the CPU board (Modem Power Connector Pin 4 - Table
5) can be linked to the RTC output on the PSU board (General Functions Connector Pin 1
- Table 12) to provide extended RTC backup from the lead acid battery.
The clock can be synchronised to network time (NTP) over a suitable IP network. NTP
synchronisation is required for UG405 UTC operation.
3.8 Self-Test Facility
The Self-Test functionality is primarily intended for factory testing as many of the tests
require special loopback adaptors. The feature may prove useful when diagnosing certain
faults in the field. Self-Test checks as much of the hardware as possible and may be run
on demand from the Tester webpage. It is a completely separate function provided by the
firmware.
The self test facilities are described in detail in section 6.
3.9 Lamp Supply Monitoring
The Lamp supply monitor provides a means to check that the lamp supply voltage is dim
or bright and within specification. The two terminal input can accept either LV or ELV
voltages. Connect the lamp supply to the two pin Lamp Supply Monitor Connector on the
PSU Board (section 5.9).

then selecting Stratos – Lamp Supply Voltage.
Monitoring of the supply can be configured through the Controller Monitor – Monitored
Supply configuration web page.
3.10 User Interface
The primary interface for user actions is a web based interface available locally over the
USB handset port and WiFi (with suitable USB WiFi dongle) and on a network via the
Ethernet interface. This interface gives access to and control of all areas necessary for
day to day maintenance including:
•System Status and Configuration.
•System Log.
•Fault Table.
A command line text interface is also available (e.g. for use with remote terminals or
handset connection) along with a simple text based menu system to allow straightforward
maintenance without the need for knowledge of handset commands or use of a PC.
The User Interface is described in detail in the User Interface Handbook
667/HU/46000/000.
3.11 Fault Table
The Fault Table shows faults and notifications that are currently active.
Afault is an abnormal condition which requires corrective action to be taken.
Anotification provides information to the user but does not necessarily require any
immediate action.
Many faults will be automatically removed from the Fault Table when the condition which
caused the fault is removed. Some faults are latched and require manual clearing. A
button is displayed next to this latter type of fault which can be used to clear the fault. To
clear the fault, press the button and follow the instructions.
For more information see the User Interface Handbook 667/HU/46000/000.
