Traffic Signal Level III Bench

Safety is of utmost importance. Traffic signals are life safety systems and need to be operated and maintained by only qualified personnel. Technology is changing rapidly in the traffic signal industry and it takes specialized training to be able to keep up with the technology being deployed. Many state and municipal agencies are requiring that individuals be IMSA certified to operate and maintain traffic signals.

Successful completion of the Microprocessor in Traffic Signals is required for Traffic Signal Level III Certification.

When taking the EITS exam, you must be familiar with the basic principles of:

• DC Electrical Fundamentals including Voltage, Current, Circuits, Source Resistance, Power, Capacitance and Inductance
• AC Circuit Principles including Frequency, Capacitors, Reactance, Simple Filters, Inductance, Impedance, Resonance, and Transformers
• Semiconductor Electronics
• Semiconductor Devices
• Semiconductor Circuits

For the Microprocessor in Traffic Signals exam, you will need to know:

The History of the Microprocessor
• Number Systems and Computer Arithmetic
• Boolean Algebra
  Integrated Circuits
• Architecture of Microprocessors
• Memory
  Basics of Operation
  Input and Output
  Programming
  Troubleshooting

One certification supplement exam is included with the Level II exam fee. An applicant may take both certification supplement exams, but must pay one additional exam fee.
