Wayguard S-80 Grade Crossing Gate Mechanism

Introducing the Wayguard S-80 Smart Gate Mechanism, a quantum leap in technology over existing competitive products. This fully programmable system eliminates the need for mechanical cams and contacts, featuring six digital contacts- two specifically for gate position indication and control of the flashing lights.

Utilizing a brushless DC motor with advanced motor control, the Wayguard S-80 Smart Gate ensures smooth start and stop operations. This not only reduces the frequency of maintenance but also significantly extends the lifespan of the gate assembly.

An optional digitalization package enhances functionality by providing Wi-Fi capabilities, enabling wireless gate control, local maintainer connectivity, all without the need of additional underground cabling. This package also includes an automated counterweight assistant, guiding installers through a calibration cycle to ensure optimal torque settings.

Wayguard GCP 4000 / GCP 5000 / SGCP 4000 predictors

Our predictors are built on an electronic, microprocessor-based modular system designed to reliably detect an approaching train and start the crossing warning system. No wiring at the end of approaches is necessary while being capable of constant warning time regardless of train speed.

Constant warning time with the Wayguard GCP

The Wayguard GCP 5000 is the current generation of highway crossing control systems based on the successful predecessor Wayguard GCP 4000. Train detection and prediction, control of gates and lights, and data recording – all these features are combined in one package which is configurable in redundant as well as non-redundant layouts.

The Wayguard SGCP 4000 motion sensor is fit for exact train detection, being capable of simple predictions. The motion sensor features programmable frequencies, fully automated calibration and programmable remote start operation.

Wayguard SSCC Product Series

Products of the Wayguard solid-state crossing controller (SSCC) family are integrated controller allowing user programmable microprocessor technology to independently control the function of the equipment at the level crossing. The top model, the Wayguard SSCC IV adds further support for quad gate operation and provides vital advanced train control systems (ATCS) communications to enable the linking of multiple Wayguard SSCC IV units as well as the Wayguard SSCC IV to a Wayguard GCP 5000 for complex crossings.

The solid-state crossing controller

The Wayguard SSCC product family offers numerous advantages, including the elimination of the need for vital relays. It features programmable loss of shunt timers and programmable vital input controls. Additionally, the lamp flash rate can be programmed. A non-volatile real-time clock ensures reliable timekeeping, and no periodic relay maintenance is necessary.
