PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The M913 detector cable is designed to connect STROBECOM II® optical detectors mounted on mast arms or span wires to the STROBECOM II® Optical Signal Processor (OSP) card located inside the traffic signal cabinet. It supports all detector models, including those with or without TOMAR’s patented Integrated Confirmation™ light.
For Integrated Confirmation™ (IC) equipped detectors, no additional wiring is required to operate the confirmation light—simplifying installation and reducing overall system cost.
Constructed with 20 AWG shielded conductors, the M913 ensures signal integrity and noise immunity over long distances. It is available in 500 ft, 1000 ft, and 2500 ft reels, and must be installed as a continuous, unspliced run between the cabinet and each detector to ensure reliable communication and optimal system performance.

FAQ's
How far do your emitters send the signal?
TOMAR emitters are detectable from approximately 2500+/- feet
Do TOMAR emitters come with a warranty?
Yes, our 3065 & T792HL style power supplies are backed by an industry leading 10-year warranty. Our 401 power supplies & strobes are backed by a 2-year warranty
Are these IR emitters?
Yes, our optical emitters send a IR or infrared signal
Do they require programming?
No, our emitters do not require programming in order to operate or be detected at intersections but they can be programmed to send a specific code if that is needed.
What is the VLF?
Our emitters are offered with an optional VLF which is a visible light filter to block any visible light from being seen.
Do you offer a handheld version?
Yes, our T792HLB-20V & 3065B-20V provide a full strength emitter option
Can emitters be mounted behind a windshield or on a vehicles dashboard?
Yes, they can be but most vehicles have an IR style windshield. While IR windshields will assist in reducing the heat inside of a vehicle it will also unfortunately reduce the range that an emitter can send a signal.
What is the Envelope of Safety®?
Since 1969, TOMAR has had one primary focus – to provide equipment that can be relied on in an emergency to help save people and property. To focus on that mission while being a value-adder to our community and those we serve worldwide, TOMAR developed the Envelope of Safety®.
