The R920-F can support standard pushbuttons with two-tone audible confirmation and visual LED confirmation, accessible pedestrian signal (APS) pushbuttons with locator tone and customizable voice messages. APS pushbuttons with non-contact operation are also supported, allowing pedestrians to activate a crosswalk without pressing a button.Beacon Mounting Configuration
The R820-E supports multiple beacon mounting setups depending on your project requirements.LED Enhanced Signs
Along with the standard circular beacons, you can add an LED Enhanced Sign to the R820-E to further strengthen the message to drivers. These flashing signs can also supplement advance pedestrian warning signs to warn drivers a pedestrian has activated the beacon crossing.Product Configurator
