The EZ Communicator Navigator 2- and 4-Wire Push Button Stations (EN2 PBS and EN4 PBS, respectively) are the pedestrian interfaces to the EZ Communicator Navigator Accessible Pedestrian System.

An EN2 PBS system includes a Central Control Unit (CCU2EN), an
E-Configurator, and up to 16 Push Button Stations (4 maximum per channel). An EN4 PBS system includes a Ped Head Control Unit (PHCU4W), and also an E-Configurator and up to 16 Push Button Stations.

Both systems provide valuable information and cues via a vibrating arrow button and audible sounds, making the intersection accessible for all pedestrians (Click here to listen to sounds). All sounds emanate from the back of the unit. A sunlight-visible red LED latches “ON” to confirm the button has been pushed. The EN2 and EN4 PBS both include the body (shown left), sign, ADA-compliant push button and mounting hardware.

The EZ Communicator Navigator 2- and 4-Wire systems provide the following standard features:

• Confirmation of button push via latching LED, sound, and tactile bounce.
