operation for Set-up and Take-down procedure is essential. Please ensure this
manual is read and understood before attempting to operate the Data Signs' Portable
Traffic Lights (PTL).

The PTL Compact TYPE 1 is
intended to be used to control
localized vehicular traffic flow
as a safer substitute for STOP/
SLOW (lollipop) signs. It does
not incorporate features such as
Vehicle Detection or solar powered
operation.
It is powered by a LiPo maintenance
free battery that needs to be
recharged at the end of the day. It is
not intended to be left unattended
on site and can only be operated via
the Remote Control which places
a safe distance between the actual
Traffic Light and the operator.
An overview of the layout of
the PTL Compact equipment is
provided here.
