Solar Signmaster™ is the ideal solution for new and existing traffic island schemes, offering increased visibility at night without the direct mains electricity costs. It requires minimal maintenance and annual servicing, limited to the exterior cleaning of the bollard as with a
non-illuminated model.
The Solar Signmaster also presents opportunities to save costs in the development of rural schemes, where mains power may not be conveniently located by the road side.
During daylight hours, the solar panel charges the large capacity batteries which are housed in the sealed (IP67 rated) below ground chamber.
The large 300mm LED sign face is operated by LDR for night-time illumination. Powered by a smart ‘Eco Mode’ LED circuit when battery voltage is below 6V (50%) to maximise the run-time of the LED.
Solar Signmaster is available in white and black Impactapol™ as standard and comes with below ground battery chamber.
Design Features
- Zero Direct Energy Costs: Solar panel charges large capacity batteries. Enters ‘Eco-Mode’ to preserve battery when light level is too low to generate continuous charge.
- Smart Power: Solar panel powers 2 large capacity batteries with a total capacity of
40Ah.
- IP Rated Protection: Sealed, domed below ground battery chamber provides IP67 rated protection* for batteries and circuit. Circuit and batteries are protected below ground in
case of an impact, so the bollard will continue
to operate after an impact.
