633.04 Shop Drawings. Furnish shop drawings according to 625.06.

633.05 General. Ensure that major items of traffic signal control equipment used in combination

are compatible, interchangeable, and, whenever feasible, provided by the same manufacturer or supplier. Ensure that controller cabinets are shop prewired according to 632.05. Before starting installation, furnish to the Engineer , two copies of each cabinet wiring diagram, service manuals, and installation and maintenance instructions for each installation, including all components and interconnections. Supply one additional copy of the cabinet wiring diagrams in a clear plastic pouch fastened to the inside of the controller door. Before beginning the 10 -day performance test, replace or modify these documents as necessary to reflect current conditions. Upon completion of the work and before its acceptance, replace or modify the documents as necessary. Transfer manufacturers’ guarantees or warranties on all installed traffic signal control equipment to the maintaining agency upon completion and acceptance of the project. If required by the plans to install equipment furnished by others, store and care of the equipment upon receipt.

633.08 Cabinets. Mount cabinets by attaching to pedestal or pole or by installing on a concrete

foundation. Arrange foundation mounted cabinets so that control equipment, terminal blocks, or shelves are no closer than 6 inches (150 mm) to the top of the foundation. Attach pole or pedestal mounted controller cabinets at a height that allows convenient access to all controller components by service personnel. Make field connections for the conductors of signal cable, power cable, interconnect cable, and detector lead-in cable. Neatly arrange and route all field wiring to the appropriate terminal blocks. Identify field wiring according to 725.02 except mark with either indelible pen or embossed letters. Except for power wiring, fit field wiring entering the cabinet with spade terminals to ensure a good connection. For incoming power wiring, either use spade terminals or connect the bare conductor wire to terminal points utilizing screw or spring applied clamping surfaces compatible with either copper or aluminum wire and providing a positive grip. After completing field wiring, seal the conduit entering the cabinet in an approved manner with a removable sealing compound (no foam sealants), or a molded plastic or rubber device that is compatible with the cable jacket, the insulation, and the conduit material. For foundation mounted cabinets, seal the joint between the controller cabinet and the foundation with a quality, clear silicone caulk. When future phasing configurations are shown on the plans, furnish the cabinet and hardware to accommodate the future operation through only the future addition of load switches and detector units. Provide a riser with each ground mounted cabinet. Cabinet risers provide an extension of the cabinet between the ground mounted cabinet and the foundation. Bolt the riser to the foundation, and bolt the cabinet to the riser. Use a type (size and shape) of cabinet riser compatible with the type of controller cabinets specified for the project. Seal the joints between the controller cabinet and cabinet riser, and between the cabinet riser and foundation with a quality, clear silicone caulk.

633.10 Foundations. Construct foundations for controller cabinets according to 632.14, except

that excavation by earth auger is not required and the foundation may be mass concrete that does not require reinforcing steel. Hold anchor bolts, conduit ells, and similar appurtenances in the proper position until the concrete has set. Pour foundations separately from controller work pad.

633.11 Controller Work Pad. Construct controller work pad according to 608.03, except that

transverse joints are not required. Provide the top of the pad nominally 1 inch (25 mm) above ground line. The work pad shall encompass three sides of the cabinet foundation. Pour controller work pad separately from foundations.

633.12 Flasher Controller. Furnish and install a flasher controller with cabinet and mounting

hardware when indicated. The flasher controller is for the operation of flashing beacons.

633.16 Training. Furnish training for the traffic signal control equipment installed as part of the

Contract. Furnish all handouts, manuals, and product information. For the training, use the same models of equipment furnished for the project. The maintaining agency shall furnish the facilities in which the training will take place. Furnish all media and test equipment needed to present the training. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the minimum training requirements are as follows:

633.18 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Furnish and install a Battery Backup UPS system

to provide uninterruptible, reliable, emergency power to a traffic signal intersection in the event of a power failure or interruption. The transfer from utility power to battery power shall not interfere w ith the normal operations of the traffic controller, conflict monitor or any other peripheral devices within the traffic control system. The system shall be self-contained including all UPS hardware, the required number of batteries and its own separate ventilated enclosure. A ground rod (paid for separately) shall be provided for free-standing UPS cabinets. Provide a riser with each cabinet. Cabinet risers provide an extension of the cabinet between the ground mounted cabinet and the foundation. Bolt the riser to the foundation, and bolt the cabinet to the riser. Use a type (size and shape) of cabinet riser compatible with the type of controller cabinets specified for the project. Seal the joints between the controller cabinet and cabinet riser, and between the cabinet riser and foundation with a quality, clear silicone caulk.
