Carmanah - Model R920-F (Gen 3) -Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
MUTCD Compliant Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon Supports Multiple Options; The Carmanah R920-F increases driver yield rates in high-traffic locations. User-activated, this solar-powered flashing beacon improves yielding compliance at mid-block crosswalks and more. With a highly visible, irregular flash pattern, the RRFB allows pedestrians and cyclists to be seen day or night, no matter what the weather conditions.
The solar panel, batteries and energy management system are contained in one, compact unit, making the R920-F an easy-to-install, self-contained solution. Its compact design and included universal mounting makes it easy to mount to many different pole shapes and sizes—it can even be retrofitted onto existing crosswalk signage to enhance an existing marked crosswalk. Despite its small form factor, the R920-F RRFB still packs high performance and brightness thanks to efficient energy management and a low power draw. It can operate reliably in northern locations where average solar-powered RRFBs would not be sustainable and would require frequent, unnecessary battery replacements.
The R920-F RRFB can also be equipped with a variety of safety enhancements, including accessible pedestrian signals (APS) to meet full ADA compliance, passive detection sensors to detect incoming pedestrians, overhead lighting to improve nighttime visibility, remote connectivity for data monitoring and reducing site visits, and more. Learn more about these safety enhancements in the Options section. The R920-F requires no trenching, cabling, or in-ground wiring, and it’s built to last: durable and dependable, this product comes with a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
