Snow Plow Highway Lighting
THE NEW ArctiQ SYSTEM REDEFINES SNOW PLOW VISIBILITY & FAIL-SAFE PROTECTION
Our enhanced ArctiQ SnowPlow Lighting System introduces a revolutionary communication and fail-safe architecture that keeps fleets visible, even when the unexpected happens. No compromise in safety.
This isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a major leap forward in operator protection, fleet uptime, and roadway safety. Every module, every signal, every response is engineered to keep your team visible and your community safe.
TECHNOLOGY NOW DELIVERS:
With ArctiQ your visibility is protected no matter what winter throws at you.
- Synchronized brilliance during normal operation
- Instant automatic failover if a Master unit goes down
- Independent self-flashing backup mode if communication is ever disrupted
- Elimination of single points of failure across your lighting network
ENHANCED SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Configuration Options
Minibar (Master)
Minibar (Receiver)
Beacons (Receiver)
Sticks (Receiver)
Tractor Lights
Typical Setup
Primary control unit
1 Unit
2 Units
4 Units
2 Units (Dependent on Receiver Minibar)
OPERATION & FAIL-SAFE DESIGN
Normal Operation
The Master Minibar sends synchronized timing signals (LIN protocol) to all receiver lights for perfectly coordinated flashing.
Redundancy / Failover
If the Master fails, a Receiver Minibar or Beacon instantly assumes control, maintaining synchronized operation with zero downtime.
Communication Line Protection
If communication is lost, each Receiver automatically continues independent flashing, preserving visibility and safety.
BEFORE VS. AFTER: RELIABILITY AT A GLANCE
| Condition | Previous System | The New SWS ArctiQ System |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Operation | All lights synchronized | All lights synchronized |
| Master Failure | All lights stop | Receiver Minibar or Beacon takes over → lights stay synchronized |
| Communication Line Failure | Only Master works | Each Receiver flashes independently (continuous visibility) |
