This detailed description presents the LED Stop/Start Light (Stop/Go Light) accessory offered by Intercomp, designed for vehicle and axle scales, as well as other weighing systems. This visual signaling system is crucial for directing efficient and safe weighing processes, especially in busy areas such as truck traffic hubs, border crossings, or industrial sites.
The Stop/Go light provides clear visual feedback to drivers on when it is safe to drive onto the scale, when to stop for weighing, and when they can proceed. This minimizes communication errors and increases the speed of weighing cycles.
The LED Stop/Start Light indicator is designed to ensure maximum visibility and reliability under the most diverse environmental conditions.
Excellent Visibility: High-intensity LED technology ensures that signals are clearly visible from a distance and in strong sunlight.
Intuitive Visual Communication: The standardized colors (Red = Stop, Green = Go) allow for immediate understanding, regardless of language barriers.
Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the challenges of outdoor installation, including weather exposure and vibration.
Integration: Connects seamlessly with Intercomp scale system displays and software (e.g., various wheel scales, axle scales, WIM systems).
Process Optimization: Significantly improves traffic control at weighing points, reducing waiting times and increasing operational efficiency.
While precise model specifications (e.g., voltage requirement, housing material) may vary depending on the specific order code, the table below summarizes the typical technical parameters characteristic of this accessory within the Intercomp product range:
| Characteristic | Spezification | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Display Type | High-intensity LED | Excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. |
| Signals | Red (STOP), Green (GO) | Basic visual indications. |
| Tápellátás | Generally 12V DC or 24V DC | Depends on the system display. |
| Control | Digital input from the scale indicator | Controlled by the scale's software or hardware. |
| Construction | Weatherproof housing (IP rated) | Suitable for outdoor, harsh environment use. |
| Installation | Mountable on a stand or attachable to a support structure | Flexible installation options. |
| Compatibility | Intercomp Wheel/Axle Scales, WIM systems | Wide-ranging compatibility with Intercomp weighing instruments. |
This LED signaling system is an ideal accessory for all locations where fast and accurate weighing is required, and vehicle traffic needs to be controlled externally:
Freight Traffic Hubs and Logistics Centers: Ensuring efficient throughput in loading and unloading zones.
Toll Stations and Gates: Assisting in the proper positioning of vehicles for measurement.
Mining and Construction Sites: Regulating the flow of incoming and outgoing trucks at warehousing or extraction points.
Agricultural Scales: Servicing high-capacity scales (e.g., silos, feed mixers) where continuous throughput is crucial.
Vehicle Inspection Points (ITS/Enforcement): Ensuring the fast and safe positioning of vehicles during official inspections on static or WIM (Weigh-In-Motion) scales.
Along with the accuracy of modern weighing systems, speed and safety are essential. Traditional voice commands or manual signaling by personnel can be slow, inaccurate, and increase the risk of accidents.
The Intercomp LED Stop/Go light system automates this critical step:
Increased Safety: Clear visual signals reduce driver confusion, especially in poor visibility conditions or at night. Vehicles will not start moving until the system permits it.
Maintaining Accuracy: The vehicle can stop precisely in the center of the weighing surface, which is essential for the correct operation of axle and wheel scales. The „STOP” signal ensures that the measurement takes place at the correct moment.
Automated Protocols: The display is synchronized with the scale display and the connected software. As soon as the system has processed the data or is ready for the next measurement, it automatically gives a „GO” signal.
This accessory is therefore not just a simple lamp, but an integrated part of the comprehensive, high-performance weighing solutions that Intercomp develops for the automotive, aerospace, and agricultural sectors.
