Extended Stop Arm
Innovative Features of the (ESA) Extended Stop Arm
The ESA Extended Stop Arm incorporates several innovative features designed to enhance its performance and reliability in various conditions.
Built-In Momentary Pause Module
The momentary pause module allows the Bus Driver to temporarily pause the ESA from extending for a single time, making sure it does not obstruct traffic unnecessarily or bump into a vehicle or person. The ESA then resets and operates as normal.
Onboard Power Booster for Windy Conditions
To maintain optimal performance in windy conditions, the ESA Extended Stop Arm is equipped with an onboard power booster. This feature ensures that the stop arm remains fully extended and effective, even in challenging weather conditions.
Improved Extreme Winter Performance with a Heated Electric Actuator
The heated electric actuator and Insulated Actuator Cover enhances the stop arm’s performance in extreme winter conditions by preventing ice and snow buildup. This feature ensures that the stop arm operates reliably even in harsh weather. We also have an ambient temperature sensor to determine if the ESA needs to change the current profile so the arm will not retract or hit something due to higher current requirements when severely cold.
Electric Bus Compatible
The ESA Extended Stop Arm is designed to be compatible with electric buses. This compatibility helps streamline the installation process and supports the adoption of environmentally-friendly transportation options.
