EPAC 300 is up and running!

EM, NEMA, whatever - if it controls a traffic signal, you can talk about it here.

:thumbsup:

Those basement support poles sure do make nice traffic poles.
No peds?

Here's some pics of my 3M support pole i took just now.

Not as of yet, I would like to get some ICC/McCain Countdowns or Eagle Flatback peds.

I also owe a big thank you to TacomaJoe for helping me with the backpanel in this setup. When I got this, it was fresh out of the cabinet with wires hanging off of it and all. He helped me trace down the wires and decipher the functions of each so I could get this running! (I still have to build a police switch panel for it, right now I just have the power wires jumped together)

Hey Jeff, your Eagle Durasig looks fine the way it is. Mine has older doors that had some kind of visors sheet-metal screwed in, and I put new Durasig visors on it, and cut the center piece out, and it looks nice...

You asked for it, here it is! Video of the intersection:

I have added my Marbelite 1058 signal to the setup, it is the black signal to the left of the EPAC.

Sorry about the video being so dark, it's due to the low light condition of my basement.

Very nice setup! I have to get either my Epac, Econo, or something up and running, still running all my stuff off joes garage boards.... so I'm kinda happy with them right now!

I know I know... I should if I stick with a true PennDOT setup... but keep in mind, the Econo has 2 hrs of run time TOTAL EVER!

PennDot got it to evaluate, and then decided not to use it!

The 2nd gen 8 inch durasig sort of looks like a poly econolite or a ge. :grin: Nice shot on the green ball. :Wink2:
