CITY OF SANTA ANA <br /> SPECIFICATIONS <br /> PROJECT NO.: 25-6030 <br /> TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT SEGERSTROM AVENUE AND ROSEWOOD <br /> AVENUE <br /> 4.17 CONDUCTORS AND CABLES <br /> Conductors shall conform to the provisions in Section 86-1.02F,"Conductors and Cables," <br /> and Section 87-1.03F, "Conductors and Cable Installations," of the Caltrans Standard <br /> Specifications and these Special Provisions. <br /> New and modified traffic signals shall utilize multiple conductor traffic signal cable <br /> conforming to the provisions in Section 86-2.08D,"Signal Cable,"of the Caltrans Standard <br /> Specifications, the plans, and these Special Provisions. <br /> Individual conductors shall not be used for new traffic signal installations or modifications <br /> of existing traffic signals unless specifically directed by the Engineer and shown on the <br /> plans. <br /> Each traffic signal pole shall be served by a single 12 CSC cable per each two vehicle <br /> phases. Each pedestrian push button or bicycle push button assembly shall be served by a <br /> single 3 CSC. The 12 CSC and 3 CSC cables shall be run continuous between terminal <br /> block terminals and traffic signal controller cabinet load switch bay terminals. Splices will <br /> not be allowed and no daisy-chaining of traffic signal cables shall be permitted. <br /> Mastarm mounted traffic signal indications shall be connected to the side mount vehicle <br /> indication terminal box using a 5 CSC. Three section and four section vehicle indications <br /> shall use a single 5 CSC. Five section vehicle indications shall use 2-5 CSC. 5 CSC shall <br /> be run continuous between the signal indication and the side mount vehicle indication <br /> terminal box and no splicing will be allowed. Multiple indications for the same vehicle <br /> phase shall not use the same 5 CSC.Each CSC shall be labeled in a permanent, color-coded <br /> manner at the side mount vehicle indication terminal box, such that the vehicle phase and <br /> placement are noted on the cable. For example, 02 Inboard would indicate the cable <br /> serving the indication closest to the traffic signal mastarm pole. <br /> 4.18 WIRING <br /> Wiring shall conform to Section 86-1.02H, "Splicing Materials," Section 86-1.02I, <br /> "Connectors and Terminals," Section 87-1.03H, "Conductor and Cables Splices," and <br /> Section 87-1.031,"Connectors and Terminals,"of the Caltrans Standard Specifications and <br /> these Special Provisions. <br /> If necessary,multiple lighting circuit conductors can be soldered and insulated by"Method <br /> B" as shown in Caltrans Standard Plan ES-13A. Conductors No. 8 AWG or larger shall be <br /> spliced by the use of"C" shaped compression connectors and soldering. <br /> Compression-type terminals (spade or eyelet) shall not be permitted for termination on <br /> solid conductors. <br /> 67 <br />
