All LED Pedestrian Signal Modules shall be fully compliant to the ITE PTCSI Part-2: LED Pedestrian Traffic Signal Modules specifications adopted March19, 2004 or the latest adopted version as listed on the ITE website at time of bid. Additionally, prior to bid award, the manufacturer shall submit to purchaser, reports from ETL/Intertek that certify full compliance of LED signal modules, to these specifications. Evidence of full compliance to all required testing methods, procedures and sections as outlined in the above ITE document Attachment 2, “Design Qualification Testing Flow Chart” must be included without any exceptions, changes or omissions. The manufacturer must also submit a data sheet showing the exact catalog number of the items submitted on the bid and the Independent Lab report must show full qualification of this catalog number. Combination hand/person pedestrian signal modules shall incorporate separate power supplies for the hand and the person icons.
In addition to, and in excess of the above applicable ITE specification compliance, the on-board circuitry of all LED traffic signal modules shall include voltage surge protection, to withstand high-repetition noise transients and low-repetition high-energy transients as stated in Section 2.1.8, NEMA Standard TS 2-2003. In addition, the module shall comply with the following standards: IEC 1000-4-5 at 3kV with a 2 ohm source impedance, ANSI/IEEE C62, 41-2002; IEC 61000-4-12 (6kV, 200A, 100kHz ring wave).
Warranty
Manufacturer shall provide at time of bid, a written warranty which provides for repair or replacement of modules that fail to function as intended due to workmanship or material defects within the first 60 months from date of delivery. Modules which exhibit luminous intensities less than the minimum as specified in the ITE specifications as indicated above, within the first 60 months from date of delivery shall be replaced or repaired.
