Description
The ASC/3 is the latest in a series of Advanced System Controllers offered by Econolite. It builds on the proven software, design flexibility, and unique feature set of the popular ASC/2 family of controllers.
The ASC/3 has been developed to fully comply with all NEMA TS2 and NTCIP requirements. In addition the design, manufacturing and testing of the ASC/3 have used processes controlled by the latest ISO quality standards.
The ASC/3 provides an updated hardware design that allows it to serve as the traffic control platform for the present and future traffic management environments. This includes NEMA TS2 and NTCIP compliance and compatibility with all existing Econolite systems.
The ASC/3 is designed using the latest electronic technology. This offers the end user a controller that is more reliable, easier to maintain, and interchangeable with TS1 and TS2 controllers while continuing to offer a competitive price.
The majority of the electronic components of the ASC/3 are contained on one easy- to-replace module.
All firmware in the ASC/3 is stored in flash memory. This allows for quick and easy software updates in the field with-out changing hardware.
The ASC/3 firmware is easily updated in the background while the intersection remains in operation. Once updated, the controller only needs to be power cycled for a short amount of time to allow the new firmware to take control.
The ASC/3 uses the largest LCD display module (16 lines x 40 characters) in the industry to simplify the user interface. This display provides improved viewing in all lighting conditions. In addition, an optional display heater is available that enhances the display performance in temperatures below 0° F (-18° C).
