More than just the most visible stop arm in the world

Out with the old in with the new

The FISA is designed for easy replacement of your existing stop arms. The mounting holes and electrical connection are all compatible to the industry standard.

More than just the most visible stop arm in the world

FLASH/STROBE

Universal Flash/Strobe
One part number for both flash and strobe models, which allows for a quick and easy switch from flash to strobe.

 

Watertight LED Lights
LEDs contained within single watertight sealed enclosure, eliminating water intrusion.

 

Designed for Efficiency
Containing only LEDs and resistors, our flashers/strobes are powered by an external power supply which allows for easy access and diagnosis. This also reduces service and replacement costs.

WIRE ROUTING

Wires are internally routed through the hinge center eliminating bending of wires which results in increased life.

SMART OBSTRUCTION DETECTION

The motor controller monitors power consumption to detect and adjust for obstructions. Mech-anical and electrical components are protected from damage in case of an obstruction reducing the probability of motor failure.

POSITION CONTROL

Stop Arm position is monitored by feedback from the motor’s internal sensors sealed within the motor. If forced out of position our Stop Arm will return parallel to the bus wall when closed, and perpendicular when deployed.

Why choose the FISA

It's ILLUMINATED and REFLECTIVE!

ICON
Grabs the attention of oncoming motorists before they are close to the school bus. The octagon of the FISA is its own light source; it does not need a car’s headlights to be visible
ICON
The word STOP is readable beyond 300 feet. It lights up in crisp bright white letters and does not get muted by the flashers or strobes. The entire stop arm can be seen beyond 1,000 feet. The octagon is bright red and visible from all viewing angles – up to 180 degrees
ICON
The FISA actually looks like a STOP sign with ILLUMINATED white letters and red background. The Illumination remains consistently bright and uniform in any weather condition, unlike reflective decals and other stop arms
ICON
Our electric and air drive systems addresses the common industry complaints and are built to last, so the Stop Arm works when you need it

  • Operating Temperature: -40°F to +185°F
  • Operating Voltage: 9-18 VDC
  • Standards: IP67 Rated, FMVSS 131, FMVSS 111
  • Quick replacement of LED Lights
    • Our lights are easily disconnected at a junction behind the light fixture
    • Industry standard requires the wires to be disconnected and removed from the drive enclosure
  • Easily removeable and replaceable illuminated STOP octagons
    • Estimated time – 15-20 minutes
  • LED light drivers are contained within a single watertight sealed enclosure, which allows for easy access and diagnosis
    • Industry standard has LED drivers within the light fixtures, meaning the light will need replacement if either the LED’s or the driver fails. Additionally, the condition of the LED driver and the LEDs cannot be assessed since it is contained in the light and is not accessible
  • Motor and controller are independent and can be replaced separately
    • Industry standard uses an integrated motor which means the motor and controller must be replaced together
