DESCRIPTION
The Opticom GPS System assists authorized priority vehicles through signalized intersections by providing temporary right-of-way through the use of common traffic controller functions.
The Opticom GPS System consists of the following matched components:
Vehicle Equipment
- Opticom 2100 High Priority Radio/GPS Control Unit
–OR–
- Opticom 2101 Low Priority Radio/GPS Control Unit
- Opticom 1050 GPS/Radio Antenna
- Opticom 2171 Vehicle Interface Cable
Intersection Equipment
- Opticom 3100 GPS Radio Unit containing a GPS receiver with antenna and a 2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver with antenna
–OR–
- Opticom 3101 GPS Radio Unit containing a GPS receiver and a 2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver, with Opticom 1050 GPS/Radio Antenna and Opticom 1072 GPS Cable Assembly
- Opticom 764 Multimode Phase Selector
- Opticom 768 Auxiliary Interface Panel
- Opticom 1040 GPS Card Rack or Opticom 760 Card Rack or Opticom 770 Card Rack
- Opticom 1070 GPS Installation Cable
Opticom GPS System vehicle equipment is mounted on the priority vehicle. Its GPS receiver obtains information from the constellation of global positioning satellites. This information is used to compute the location, speed and heading of the vehicle. This information, along with a priority request and the state of the vehicle’s turn signal, is broadcast using the 2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver.
Opticom GPS System intersection equipment receives the radio transmission from the vehicle equipment. The intersection equipment then compares the information being received from the vehicle with the parameters stored in the intersection equipment’s memory. If the vehicle is heading toward the intersection in a predefined approach corridor, is requesting preemption or priority and has met all other programmed parameters, the corresponding phase selector output is activated. This output is connected to the traffic controller.
When activated, the controller cycles to grant a green light to the requesting vehicle or holds the green, allowing the vehicle to pass through the intersection.
The Opticom 760 Card Rack or Model 770 Gate Opener Card Rack provide the power and logic wiring for the Opticom 764 Multimode Phase Selector, which plugs directly into a slot in the unit. The Opticom 768 Auxiliary Interface Panel provides connections for monitoring green phases and provides additional priority control outputs as well as additional outputs for time synchronization and confirmation lights.
Opticom GPS System vehicle equipment is intended for use on priority vehicles. The vehicle equipment kit consists of the compact Opticom 2100 or 2101 Radio/GPS Control Unit containing a GPS receiver and a 2.4 GHz spread spectrum transceiver, used with the Opticom 1050 GPS/Radio Antenna and the Opticom 2171 Vehicle Interface Cable.

PREVIOUS GENERATION UPGRADES
The Opticom 2173 Vehicle Interface Cable Adapter is available for purchase separately if you are upgrading from an Opticom 1020 or 1021 Vehicle Control Unit using an Opticom 1071 Vehicle Interface Harness to an Opticom 2100 or 2101 Radio/GPS Control Unit. By using the Opticom 2173 Vehicle Interface Cable Adapter, you will not need to rewire the vehicle. In this case, you will not need the Opticom 2171 Vehicle Interface Cable that is included with your new vehicle kit.
