Guardian® Duo

Product Overview:

The Guardian® Duo is a networked 2-wire Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) that revolutionizes intersection accessibility by utilizing existing field wires to place calls and transfer data between the station and Card Rack Controller. This innovative system features web-based remote monitoring capabilities, SNMP Trap messaging over Ethernet, and a virtually vandal-proof housing with an ADA-compliant hall effect push button providing vibrotactile responses. The Guardian® Duo comes standard with both Bluetooth® and wave touchless technology, offering multiple activation methods to ensure maximum accessibility. With its weather-optimized design and comprehensive compliance with MUTCD, ADA, PROWAG, TAC, and Buy America standards, the Guardian® Duo delivers trusted Guardian® reliability with enhanced functionality for rapid installation and superior field performance.

About the Product:

The Guardian® Duo showcases exceptional versatility through its one-press intersection configuration system, universal cabinet compatibility with both 120VAC and 48VDC ATC cabinets, and comprehensive remote monitoring via web portal. Its Wave touchless actuation sensor utilizes active infrared technology with adjustable sensitivity ranges of 1-3″, 1-6″, or 1-9″, operating reliably in extreme weather conditions, including rain, hail, and snow. The system offers flexible programming options through USB connectivity for Windows and Android devices, power-off programming capabilities, and secure wireless access via the PedConnex® App for iOS and Android. Enhanced features include a larger LED light bar for improved visibility, advanced tactile response with no moving parts, and exceptional durability against shock and vibration. The Guardian® Duo’s powerline communication system maintains excellent signal integrity under adverse conditions with stringent failsafe mechanisms, while its 2-wire networked solution reduces installation complexity while maximizing functionality across all intersection types.

Touchless Technology

Global awareness raised by the COVID-19 pandemic spurred us into action. PedSafety was the first to employ touchless actuation in APS (accessible pedestrian signals) and PPBs (pedestrian push buttons) by utilizing active infrared sensors to detect motion in our products. We’ve designed and implemented touch-free solutions at intersections to curtail the transmission of germs and viruses, ultimately enhancing pedestrian safety.

Our innovative approach incorporates an infrared sensor for contactless activation. This surpasses the technology of conventional sensors, as infrared light precisely reflects off the hand, ensuring calls are initiated only when intended. This technology ensures that no false calls will be made from inclement weather conditions such as rain, hail, or snow. Pedestrians can now request to cross by simply waving their hand in front of the wave icon, eliminating the need to physically press a button.
