PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The model OSPOCx Family Optical Signal Processor (OSP) is the first OSP offered by TOMAR that receives and decodes GTT Opticom*-brand coded emitter signals. Installed inside the traffic cabinet, the OSPOCx Family provides power for TOMAR DETOCxx and/or GTT Opticom 7xx Optical Detectors; receives, decodes and prioritizes signals from the detectors, logs preemption and priority control activity, communicates with other traffic control devices, and optically isolates the preemption channels.
The OSPOCx Family is delivered default-programmed to respond on a first-come, first-served basis to optical signals from vehicles within two signal bands. Emergency band signals are typically emitted by emergency vehicles to effect a preemption of normal traffic control timing and are given the highest priority to allow rapid emergency response with enhanced safety. Transit band signals are generally emitted by transit or other non-emergency municipal vehicles to effect a priority change for the vehicle’s approach direction without necessarily interrupting traffic control timing. Up to 9,999 vehicles in each signal band can be individually identified.
Who has priority or right of way?
If multiple vehicles are being received, they are prioritized to determine which vehicle should be given the right of way. If vehicles are of equal priority, right of way is given on a first-come, first-served basis.

Key Features
- Plug-and-Play Firmware allows the ability to add accessories in the field without manual configuration. This allows you to buy only what is needed today and add more capability later, saving precious funds.
- Active Reflection Suppression prevents cross street preemption due to reflected emitter technology. Only TOMAR’s advanced, digital signal processing can eliminate this troublesome side effect making system installation and setup far less critical.
- Expansion Port provides easy connection of the OSPOCx Family to other accessory modules like green phase monitors, confirmation light drivers, and external preemption adapters for controllers that do not have internal preemption software.
- 9,999 vehicles per band and over 14,000 log records standard
- Built-in Ethernet port providing a full-featured TCP/IP stack, with enterprise grade security features, for configuration, diagnostics, and log information retrieval.
- Firmware upgradable remotely via Ethernet port for simple future feature additions
- Fully supports OSPsoft and OSPtrack3 software via Ethernet
- Universal AC input voltage
- Enhanced transient/lightning protection
- Short-circuit proof detector power
- Simplified front panel interface
SPECS (OSPOCV2 Series)
- Signal: The OSPOCV2 shall be capable of receiving, decoding, and prioritizing OPTICOM-brand formatted Emergency and Transit priority signals transmitted by all TOMAR and competitive emitters. The OSPOCV2 shall be software configurable to accept or reject older non-identifying optical signals. Classes 0-9 and codes 0-999 in each signal band shall be individually identifiable.
- Signal Acquisition Time: Typical signal acquisition time shall be approximately 2.5 seconds. Acquisition time will vary depending on the number of signals present simultaneously and on the density of optical noise.
- Range: Up to 2500 feet of detection or more that can be adjusted down to 200 feet.
- Priority Determination: The OSPOCV2 shall be delivered with default priority grouping, responding on a first-come, first-served basis within each signal band. Signals in the Emergency signal band shall be given priority over signals in the transit signal band. The user shall be able to optionally define additional priority classes within each signal band. Up to 10 priority groups within each signal band shall be definable.
- Event Logging: The OSPOCV2 shall log all valid and invalid preemption events including the time, date, and duration of the event. The logging capacity of the OSPOCV2 shall be 14,000 events minimum. When at capacity, the oldest events shall be discarded when newer events are received. The stored logs shall be downloadable via Ethernet port.
- Output Signals: The OSPOCV2 Shall provide two optically isolated output channels for placing NEMA standard signal level calls on traffic controller preempt inputs.
- Input Signals: The OSPOCV2 shall have two optically isolated inputs for connecting to traffic controller preempt status outputs.
- Control Timers: Each output channel shall be equipped with three control timers described as MAX CALL: Sets the maximum time a preempt call is allowed to be active. CALL EXTENSION: Sets the time a call remains placed after a valid optical signal terminates. CALL DELAY: Sets the time a valid optical signal must be pending before the assertion of a preempt call to the controller.
- Confirmation Lights: The OSPOCV2 shall be capable of powering and operating up to two TOMAR DETOC series Integrated Confirmation enabled detectors over up to 600’ of preemption detector cable per IC enabled detector.
- Maximum Detectors: Up to two DETOC series IC enabled detectors (maximum of four LED confirmation lights total) plus four additional non-IC enabled detectors.
- Electrical Requirements: 120/240VAC 50/60Hz
- Temperature Range: -40 to +75 degrees C
- Transient Protection: Input power shall be MOV protected from AC mains transients. Detector inputs shall be TVS protected from electrical transients.
- Fusing: A ½ amp fuse shall be included in the input power connection to protect cabinet wiring.
- The OSPOCx Family OSP is compatible with NEMA TS-1, TS-2, and CA/NY 170, and 2070 controllers and meets all NEMA and CalTrans environmental requirements.
TRUE 10 YEAR WARRANTY!

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®.
