What is the default programming my MX flasher module ships with?

This article discusses how system programming is assigned based on the different flasher modules.

Product applicability

The following products are discussed in this article:

  • MX Series: R920-MX, R829-MX, R247-MX, CHEVRON-MX, WWD-MX and SPEEDCHECK-MX

MX systems default to safety out-of-the-box. Please see the tables below for default settings and application type.

Default Settings

Flasher Module Operation Mode Flash Pattern Duration Setting Linked

RRFB

Trigger/Standby WW+S 20 seconds YesÂą

BeaconÂą

ÂąBeacons used as part of a radar speed sign (SPEEDCHECK-MX) can only operate via schedule and will not flash "out of the box".

²Chevron LED signs are unique in that they have adjustable "flash on" and "cycle duration" settings. This is customizable for each deployment using the MX Field App.

Demo

*Typically reserved for when multiple systems require flash synchronization that are facing the same direction

ÂąTrigger with Notification is used to create an alert (SMS and/or email) each time a wrong-way vehicle is detected. This mode acts in the same manner as Trigger/Standby.

¹RRFBs are unique. Once connected to a power module the system will apply default Network Settings to where all local RRFBs can communicate with each other, known as linking. RRFBs that are in the immediate vicinity (line of sight of up to 1000’) will trigger each other when using these default Network Settings.

If you have crosstalk between multiple crossings nearby you will want to follow the steps for breaking the default link and creating a new one as shown in the MX Field App guideWe strongly recommend you manually link every individual RRFB crosswalk.

MX Beacon Systems

Always On – beacon(s) will flash 24 hours a day.

Dusk-to-Dawn – beacon(s) flash continuously during nighttime only.

Trigger/Standby– beacon(s) are activated by a push button or external trigger, such as a pedestrian sensor.

Trigger with Notification –beacon(s) are activated by an external trigger or sensor. An SMS and/or email alert is sent each time the system is triggered. Requires an MX Cloud profile with notifications enabled and an active MX Cloud subscription for the system.

Schedule – beacon(s) flash based on a user generated schedule

MX SpeedCheck Systems

Continuous – vehicle speeds displayed based on configured settings.

Schedule – vehicle speeds displayed and beacon(s) flash based on user generated schedule.

Stealth – display and beacon(s) off. Vehicle data is still being collected.

Demo – used for demonstration/testing purposes only.
