Siemens has unveiled a new generation of signal heads specifically designed and built for tram operations. Based on the company's existing range of Helios Extra Low Voltage (ELV) traffic signals, the dedicated ELV tram signal is fully compatible with the company's ST900 ELV controller. Recently installed as part of the upgrade to signals for the Blackpool Tramway, the dedicated ELV tram signal head uses energy-saving, long-life LED technology manufactured by Siemens in their award winning factory in Poole. According to Head of Product Management, Keith Manston, the Siemens ELV solution is priced lower than currently available low-voltage tram signals and all aspects can be lamp monitored as normal ELV LED signals. Siemens' ELV systems have become the industry benchmark solution for busy and complex junctions. Proven to significantly reduce energy costs, the ST900 ELV also places greater emphasis on safety, for both maintenance engineers and the travelling public. The Helios range of traffic signals is renowned for delivering optimum clarity and reliability. Operating at standard 230V and 48V, the range features a choice of head options including Siemens' SIRA style enhanced optics and the latest LED Central Light Source (CLS).
