Description
The EZ Communicator Navigator 4 Wire Push Button Station (EN4 PBS) is the pedestrian interface to the EZ Communicator Navigator Accessible Pedestrian System. A system includes a Ped Head Control Unit (PHCU4W), an E-Configurator and a Push Button Station. The EN4 PBS provides valuable information and cues via both a vibrating arrow button and audible sounds making the intersection accessible for all pedestrians. All sounds emanate from the back of the unit. A sunlight-visible red LED latches “ON” to confirm the button has been pushed. The EN4 PBS includes the body (shown), sign, ADA compliant push button and mounting hardware.
