PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The model OSPOC8V2DC Family Optical Signal Processor (OSP) is the first OSP offered by TOMAR that receives and decodes GTT Opticom*-brand coded emitter signals through Direct Current installations. 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 OSPOC8V2DC 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.
PRODUCT OPTIONS
- OSPOC8V2DC-2 - Two channel Optical Signal Processor (standard panel)
- OSPOC8V2DC-4 - Four channel Optical Signal Processor (standard panel)
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 OSPOC8V2DC 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
- 24 VDC input voltage
- Enhanced transient/lightning protection
- Short-circuit proof detector power
- Simplified front panel interface
SPECS
- Signal: The OSPOC8V2DC shall be capable of receiving, decoding, and prioritizing Opticom-brand formatted Emergency and Transit priority signals transmitted by all TOMAR and competitive emitters. The OSPOC8V2DC shall be jumper 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.
- Compatibility: Opticom 400, 500, 700 Series Detectors and TOMAR DETOC Series Detectors; All TOMAR and Opticom IR LED and Strobe Emitters.
- Range: 2500 feet maximum adjustable down to 200 feet in 255 steps for each signal band and each approach.
- Priority Determination: The OSPOC8V2DC shall be delivered with default priority grouping, responding on a first-come, first-served basis to signals within each signal band. Signals in the Emergency signal band shall be given priority over signals in the transit signal band. Using configuration jumpers, the user can enable or disable certain signal types, modify transit priority, configure the confirmation light patterns, and enable or disable True Confirmation operations.
- Output Signals: The OSPOC8V2DC Shall provide two optically isolated output channels for placing NEMA standard signal level calls on traffic controller preempt inputs.
- Input Signals: The OSPOC8V2DC shall have two optically isolated inputs for connecting to traffic controller preempt status outputs.
- Confirmation Lights: The OSPOC8V2DC 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: 24VDC
- Temperature Range: -40 to +75 degrees C
- Transient Protection: Detector inputs shall be TVS protected from electrical transients.
- Fusing: A 2 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!
- 10 year warranty covers the OSPOC8V2DC Series and all STROBECOM II components. Unlike other manufacturers, TOMAR’s ten year warranty has NO fees or charges for warranty repairs after five years.
