General explanation of building site signalling equipment
Signal safety
The German regulations of VDE, TL-LSA 97 and RiLSA describe among others the
use ofportable construction site traffic signal systems.
The above regulations stipulate that no signal safety feature as per RiLSA and VDE
0832 is necessary e.g. for construction sites with alternating one-way traffic control
and a clearance speed of up to 30 km/h, insofar as the corresponding authorities have
not imposed any stricter conditions or requirements.
All other construction site traffic signal systems used for controlling traffic at
T-junctions, crossroads or pedestrian crossings must be equipped with a signal safety
feature as per RiLSA and VDE 0832, and fulfil TL-LSA97.
This safety feature requires a feedback message which can be transmitted by radio or
cable. Radio-controlled traffic signals use top-quality radio modules which have been
given an approval number by the German Federal NetworkAgency for electricity, gas,
telecommunications, postal and railway markets (formerly RegTP).
Peter Berghaus GmbH produces and supplies construction site traffic signal
systems and signal safety feature.with without

cable signalling equipment that has already been put
into operation.
With the new software version of our traffic signal systemMPB 4400
you can carry out modifications to the radio/cable signalling equipment
without having to switch off the signal system first. The signal system
switches automatically to "all-red" during reprogramming and, after
reprogramming is completed, switchesautomatically back to automatic
operation.
Follow this procedure:
Use the manual programming device to correct/modify the required
times or other data for your construction measures.Apart from the basic
entries, such as:
- Number of groups,
- Number and type of signal heads (motor
vehicle/pedestrian),
- Mode of operation radio/cable,
all information and data can be modified. When all entries are
completed, the manual programming device shows the following
display (already seen in previous programming):

3. Setting Date and Time
Change in the handbox:
First switch the handbox off. Then press and hold button 1 and switch
the handbox on (press "On" briefly).
Release button 1 after approx. 10 seconds. Use buttons 1 and 3 to
increase and decrease the value marked with "> <". Use button 4 to
move on to adjust the next value. If you press button 4 again after
adjusting the value for seconds, this resets the internal clock to the
previously adjusted values.
Note: it is important for the clock to be adjusted correctly if the data of a
traffic signal are to be printed out or if the daytime programs or nighttime operation are activated. This ensures that the reports are produced
with the correct date and right time. The daytime programs and nighttime operation are thus also switched on automatically at the right time.
Change in the signal system:
Please first adjust the current time in the handbox as described above.
To update this time now in the traffic signal without reprogramming –
e.g. when changing over from summer time to winter time – switch the
handbox on and use button 2 to select the following menu point:
Now place the handbox in light 1 or 1K1. Press button 3 to transfer just

5.Acknowledging errors
If the manual device is plugged into a flashing installation and then
switched on, as though one wished to operate the installation manually,
and the above message appears, then the installation had an error (for
example, green-green violation).
In such cases, the message in the traffic light display is to be followed.
That is where the error is more precisely described. An attempt can be
made to acknowledge the error using key #4.
Should the installation still not start up after that, then the corresponding error must be eliminated.

6. Special Operation modes using internal and external rotary
switches for manual options, such as manual operation, flashing,
lights off and all-red
6.1. Setting special operating modes by means of built-in rotary
switches (optional)
For example: manual operation (only possible with cable and radio
control)
Set the rotary switch to manual operation; after approximately
5 seconds the red LED flashes. This means that the special operating
mode you selected has been activated. If the red LED changes from
flashing red to a continuous red light, the signal system is in the next
possible green waiting point. By pressing the key, the signal system
moves to the next green waiting point of the following signal group.
When the key is pressed, the LED flashes red; when the next green
waiting point is reached, the LED is again a continuous red light. It is
therefore not possible to use this to shorten the traffic-clearing period
(time interval). The sequence and current status of the individual signal
groups can be observed on the traffic light display.
If you wish to exit manual operation, turn the rotary switch from manual
operation back to automatic. The red LED switches itself off after
approximately 5 seconds showing that the signal system has switched
itself back to automatic operation.
If you wish to have further special operating modes, such as flashing,
lights off and all-red, follow this procedure:
Turn the rotary switch from automatic to the desired special operating
mode, e.g. flashing.After approximately 5 seconds, the red LED flashes

indicating that the special operating mode you selected has been
activated. The signal system now operates until the preset switch-off
time and then switches via a switch-off display to yellow flashing.
(Please note that the only motor vehicle groups that flash are those that
have been programmed with "yes" in the "Error flashing" menu item;
pedestrian signal heads automatically have a dark display.) The LED
lights up continuously when the selected special operating mode has
been reached.
If you wish to exit the selected special operating mode (yellow
flashing), turn the rotary switch back to automatic. The red LED turns
itself off after approximately 5 seconds and the signal system
automatically switches back to automatic operation via an activation
program.
6.2. Setting special operating modes by means of external cable remote
control (optional)
1. Set the rotary switch of the (optional) built-in manual control
to the position “extern”.
2. Choose the desired special operation mode by means of the
rotary-switch on the external cable remote control.
3. Open the cap of the connector for the external cable remote
control below the control chamber of the traffic light.
4. Connect the plug of the cable remote control to the connector
of the traffic light and fasten it by turning around the nut of the
plug.
5. After approx. 5 seconds the chosen special operation mode
would be activated. The further steps for choosing the different
special operation modes you could find in chapter 6.1 on the
pages before.
62
Page 67
Common comments
If several signal heads are modified with this accessory equipment, you
have to be sure that the use would be made only at one signal head. On
all other signal heads the rotary-switches have to stay in position “Automatic”. Should one rotary-switch unnoticed not stay on “Automatic”position, the red function-LED will show a fast blinking indication.
This means a malfunction and the traffic light could not execute the
chosen mode. Please, check which rotary-switch is not in the “Automatic”-position and bring him into the right position(Automatic). Now,
after approx. 5 seconds, the chosen special operation mode would be
activated.
Attention: It is not possible to choose the special operation mode
“Flashing” and “Lamps Off” directly while staying in the special
operation modes “Manual operation” or “Allred”. Hereby it is
necessary to choose first the special operation mode “Automatic” and
afterwards the desired special operation mode (Flashing or Lamps Off).
Adirect change between theother special operation modes is possible.
7. Multi-frequency technology with field strength display (optional)
As an option, the MPB 4400 can be equipped with the
very latest multi-frequency technology. In addition
to the internally fitted special radio module, the
frequency selection switch and detailed field
strength display are integrated in the front panel.
Altogether 10 coloured LEDs clearly show the
reception field strength of the other traffic light.
However, this depends on all control units being set
to the same frequency (1 to 16). The quality of the
radio connection is clearly indicated from red
(inadequate) via yellow (adequate) to green for
outstanding transmission. By taking account of the
field strength display already before connecting up
the other signal heads, this signal display can also be
used to select a radio frequency with the lowest
possible use in order to obtain a free channel.
63
Page 68
The display lighting and field strength display is switched on by
pressing the button "Field strength display and LCD lighting".
During on-going operation, this display can also be used to optimize the
position of the signal heads, as even the tiniest shift in position of often
just a few centimetres can clearly improve or naturally also deteriorate
the reception. With the detailed field strength display, you can now find
the best position for using the signal heads in radio operation – so say
goodbye to the dead spots!
Thanks to the multi-frequency feature, consisting of the special radio
module, frequency selection switch and field strength display, in
Germany it is possible to choose between four frequencies currently
licensed in the 2mband for use by radio traffic lights. This choice can be
extended to up to 16 frequencies for exports.
This means naturally that we can supply other frequencies or frequency
ranges (e.g. 70 cm UHF) with many different transmitter output ratings
for use outside Germany.

VI.2 Error Messages for Control Device
The error messages of the control device are displayed in the lower line
of the LED display. The error display is very user-friendly. All
currently-active errors are displayed, one after the other, using clear
designations in slow succession to one another.
In the cases of cable and radio installations, not just the errors of the
individual equipment are displayed, but also those present at other
traffic lights. When you are summoned to a malfunctioning installation,
open at random a control device cover. There you will see for example
in the display "Red 2 defective".
The displayed text speaks for itself. Proceed to traffic light #2 and
overhaul the red light.
The installation will then return by itself to programme flow.
An attempt has been made to programme a new control device with an
old manual device, or vice-versa (different EPROM versions).
Remedy: contact us and request the current version number.
The control device has a malfunction.
Switch the control unit off and then on again. Normally, this should
remove the malfunction. If this is not the case, please send the control
card to the factory for repair.
The red lamp at traffic light #2 is defective and must be replaced. After
elimination of the error, the installation starts up again automatically. If
the traffic light is fitted with LED-modules you have to quitt the failure
as described on page 60.
This is a status error. Yellow or red status errors can also occur. In this

case of this error, the directive to the control does not conform to the
actual task at hand. Acknowledge the error using the manual device.
Should the error re-occur, then you must send the control panel to the
factory for evaluation.
In the case of this error, for example, the signal groups #1 and #3 would
be transmitting an "opposing" signal configuration not allowed in the
program (in this example, both groups showed green simultaneously).
The green-green monitoring prevents the two groups from actually
displaying simultaneously green.
In order to determine the cause of the malfunction, you must now
inspect groups #1 and #3. The group which shows a status error (green
status) is the source of the malfunction.
Acknowledge the error with the manual device. If the error reappears,
then you must send the control panel to the factory for evaluation.
In the case of this error, there is an interval error between groups #2
and #3. Check the input of your green and interval times for groups #2
and #3. Correct the times and re-programme the installation.
In the case of this error, the transmission is being disrupted by the radio

insert the batteries (be sure the polarity is correct!).
To switch the device on, briefly press the "ON"key.
The manual device will then display the manual device model. You can
switch off the manual device by holding the #2 key pressed down for ca.
5 seconds.
The display shows the following, depending upon manual device
model:
VII.2 Switching Manual Device On and Off
In order to be able to transmit the data from the manual device to the
control device, the manual device must be first pushed completely into
the cavity of the control device. If the manual device was not correctly
plugged in, or if data is still present in the installation, the display shows
the following:
**M P B 4400**

Repeat the transmission with key #2 or cancel it with key #4. Normally
the manual device will show the following:
with cable and radio:
Switch the device off using key #4. The manual device disconnects
automatically after 10 minutes, if during that time no key has been
activated.
When this error message appears, one can still continue to work for a
time. It is however to be recommended that a new set of batteries be
installed.
Warning: Please switch off the manual device before replacing the
batteries. (Do not use rechargeable storage batteries)
The manual device has a function error. Remove -- while this error
message is being displayed -- the batteries from the manual device.
Replace them and switch the manual device on again. Normally, the
error should then be eliminated. If not, please forward the manual
device for repair.
The device must be sent in for examination.

The factory settings for date and time of day have been lost. After
pressing key #4, a menu will be displayed with which the current time
can be entered (for this see the chapter "Auxiliary Functions", starting
on page 53).
After the correct setting of the internal clock has been made, this special
menu will not be displayed again.
An error has been detected during data input. A prescribed programme
flow can not be accomplished with the data as entered. Please check the
data.
While entering the roadway -- or pedestrian signal heads, more than 24
signal heads were entered. Please correct the erroneous input.
If for example settings were made for 3 groups, and then the number of
signal heads was set to "Zero" for group #1, then this error message will
be displayed. Remedy: Should for any reason groups be operating
without signal heads, then these always must be the groups in thelast
series: for example, with 4 groups, the least two are set to be "signal
head-less" (signalg.: roadway, pedestrian=0).
This messages is displayed with the minimum green time for group #1
has not been met. The set green time of a group has been entered at less
than 5 seconds. The green time selected is not to be less than 5 seconds,
according to RiLSA.You must change the value for group #1.
This message is displayed when there is a green-time overlap between 2
or more signal groups (both or more than two display green
simultaneously).
Please check
the data....

As this can easily be so intended, you have the opportunity of
confirming the message with key #3. This message is to be considered
merely a warning.
If the above message appears after the manual device has been pushed
into a flashing installation and then switched on, as if one had wanted to
operate the installation by hand, then the installation has an error
(green-green violation, for example).
In such cases the message in the traffic light display is to be consulted.
The error will be described in greater detail there. An attempt can be
made to first acknowledge the error using key #4.
Should the installation still not start up, then the corresponding error
must be eliminated.

X. Radar detector (option)
Description of functions: radar movement detector
The movement detector mounted on this traffic light system MPB 4400 ("VA" for
vehicle-actuated option) is a directional radar detector specially optimised for use in
mobile signal systems.
The pivoting fixture on top of the traffic light signal head lets the radar detector be
aligned ideally to the approaching traffic.A clearly visible red LED in the front of the
radar detector shows the road user that his vehicle has been detected.
Movements are detected according to the Doppler principle. The sensor emits
microwaves in the range of 24 GHz. These are reflected by objects moving towards
the sensor, so that their frequency is changed. The sensor receives the changed
frequencies with its planar microwave antenna and evaluates them accordingly.
Approaching movements within the detection field are registered, evaluated reliably
by the internal logic and forwarded to the traffic light controller.
Compared to conventional infrared detectors, one major advantage of these radar
movement detectors specially optimised for mobile traffic light systems is that they
are capableof distinguishingbetween an object coming towards or moving away from
the radar detector. For example, only directional radar detectors are capable of
implementing a reliable continuous red phase or green on request, when the
approaching vehicle requests his own "green" from the traffic light.
Simple infrared movement detectors would also registertraffic moving away from the
traffic light – resulting in incorrect requests. Continuous red phases or green on
request cannot be implemented with infrared detectors. In addition as a rule the
detection range of a radar detector is not impaired by snow or rain.
Applications:
Mobile traffic light systems; reliable detection for traffic technology
