SmartBlind
SmartBlind
The SmartBlind is safer for the installer, minimises complaints from delayed motorists, complies with the Citizens Charter and does more to keep traffic moving than any other Traffic Management System.
Key benefits:
- It is no longer necessary to cross live lanes to "cancel" displayed road sign.
- Lane closures can be easily removed or re-installed in minutes when required, e.g. rush hours.
- Speedier set up or removal time means a longer working shift for road working contractors.
- The SmartBlind is ideal for day work-only, night work-only, and all intermittent lane closures.
- Covered signs can be erected or removed during periods of low risk (or simply when convenient) and remotely uncovered in seconds only when the closure is required.
- The handheld transmitter can control any number of signs simultaneously.
- The signs can be solar or mains powered for maintenance free operation.
- The SmartBlind is totally portable and ideal for any sign of any size.
- There is a choice of a 100 metre, 800 metre and 2km control range from the handheld transmitter.

Technical Information
Radio Transmitter & Receiver Range
The user has a choice of ranges. We are able to offer 50 metre, 100 metre, 800 metre and 2km units. Often contractors prefer short range units in the sure knowledge that they are not affecting other closures nearby.
Power
Our units typically use battery power. This enables them to be compact and completely independent. Solar panels are incorporated for long deployments making sure the units are maintenance free for years at a time. Mains power is easily incorporated for permanent installations.
Transmitters
The hand-held transmitters are compact, easy to use and rugged. To ease confusion we supply transmitters tailored to your specific signs, with only the functions you require.
Receivers
You can specify up to seven separate functions for your specific application. You may require lighting (both warning and flood) as well as the full functions offered by SmartSign combined with SmartBlind. We can easily supply a suitable radio kit to suit you needs. Our receivers are all interchangeable. This means that you can upgrade you units, in the field, with incredible ease.
Security
Our radios operate using digital transmissions which are security coded. This ensures that they are not susceptible to interference whether accidental or malicious.
SmartBlind Units
Mechanics
Blinds are made from exceptionally rugged materials. The surround is made from a combination of high-impact ABS plastic and uPVC. The material used for the blind is a rip-proof and UV resistant fabric capable of resisting all that a British winter can offer. Sealed electric motors drive the blinds up and down through a system of drive belts and torque rods. Blind position is electronically sensed and the information fed to the computer chip in the receiver.
Permanent SmartBlind Installation
SmartBlind units can be permanently attached to a backing board. This backing board my have a sign face printed on it. Permanent SmartBlinds usually have the receiver mounted on the rear of the backing board and fit on the standard ‘sign fix’ channel.
Temporary SmartBlind Installation
Temporary SmartBlinds consist of the blind incorporated in a tough frame, which attaches to the front of your own signs. The concept is similar to an empty picture frame. You choose what type of sign you intend to cover, and we supply a suitable frame. SmartBlinds clip into your sign using secure latches. Usually the receiver is integrated within the frame along with the power source making it a compact and rugged system.
