Operating Description:
Advisor Accessible Pedestrian Signals provide pedestrians with visual, tactile, and audible information about the intersection crossing, at the pedestrian station. Advisor provides the necessary information to understand the status of the walk display.
Audible: Locator tone, tells the pedestrian that the intersection is equipped with APS and where it is.
Acknowledge tone, tells the pedestrian that they have placed the call.
Informational message, tells the pedestrian about the crossing.
Walk Cycle message, tells the pedestrian when the Walk Sign is on. Each board has three walk cycle messages; Chirp, Cuckoo, and Custom message
Visual: A red LED is lit when the pedestrian has placed a call.
Tactile: The directional vibro-tactile arrow becomes active with the Walk Sign.
Components:
The Advisor consists of three separate components.
Pedestrian Station, A57, A912 or AH contain the pedestrian push button with LED, Vibro-tactile arrow, and speaker.
The driver board mounts in the ped head and connects to the controller inputs.

The driver board installs in the ped head and is connected to the display incoming power.
