Intelight ESB programming

A few weeks back I purchased the software and interface cables for the direct-connect programming kit from Intelight. It cost quite a bit (three-figures), but allows me to program the head by adjusting how many rows and columns of LEDs are on as well as pull up information that the signal logs while its powered up. I can adjust the brightness and the parameters which the signal adjusts for time of day intensity. The ESB module board in the signal acts as the CPU for the signals logic circuitry.

This is years ahead of the obsolete 3M and McCain programmable head designs, which are programmed by applying tape to a lens.

Intelight also offers a wireless programming kit that uses a radio kit, special load switch with a modem and a smartphone app version of the programming software. This costs four-figures and was not in the budget for me. The wireless version picks up a special WIFI connection from the signal head and programs the same way.

The wireless kit is recommended for actual service because then the tech can stand at the curb and adjust the signal remotely in a few minutes.
