MoboTrex is excited to officially announce the Eagle Heated Signal Visor. When snow collects on the LED lens, it can impede or even completely block the indication to the motorist. This heated visor utilizes an ultra-efficient, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element to keep the visor warm in snow conditions.
Flexible heater installed on inside of visor
Control Module installed in signal, can control up to five (5) heaters
Temperature and humidity probe installed in signal to determine if conditions for snow are present
Power is typically supplied using an extra, unused wire from the signal cable
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a report a few years ago detailing the issue of snow buildup on LED traffic signal lenses. While there are less effective options out there, "committee members suggested that technology be considered to provide a heating element of some sort in traffic signal lenses that would prevent the snow and ice from adhering to the signal lens."
All MoboTrex locations will be closed for a holiday shutdown between Christmas and New Years starting on Thursday December 24th. MoboTrex will be back open again after the New Year on
