Important Introductory Notes Proper assembly of the Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems is essential to achieve performance of the system under appropriate federal and state criteria. These instructions should be read in their entirety and understood before assembling the Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems. These instructions are to be used only in conjunction with the assembly of the Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems and are for standard assemblies only as specified by the applicable highway authority. In the event your system assembly requires or involves deviation from standard parameters or, during the assembly process a question arises, please contact the appropriate highway authority that specified this system at this particular location for guidance. Energy Absorption Systems is available for consultation with that agency. These instructions are intended for an individual who is qualified to both read and accurately interpret them as written. They are intended for the individual who is experienced and skilled in the assembly of highway products which are specified and selected by the highway authority.
A set of product and project shop drawings will be supplied by Energy Absorption Systems. The shop drawings will be for each section of the assembly. These drawings should be reviewed and studied thoroughly by a qualified individual who is skilled in interpreting them before the start of any assembly.

Limitations and Warnings The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module systems have been tested and evaluated per recommendations of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350* for Test Level 3, gating, and non-redirective impact conditions. The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module systems, as currently designed with the proper array, have been shown in federally approved crash testing to be capable of decelerating and stopping light and heavy weight vehicles (820 to 2000 kg, 1810 to 4410 lbs.) when impacted head-on or at angles from 0 degrees to 15 degrees and at 100 km/h (62 mph). Tests were conducted on slopes less than 5% and without curbs.
The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems are non-redirective crash cushions and should be used appropriately.
Curbs may create a vehicle ramping condition which could cause an untested effect on the impacting vehicle. Therefore, do not assemble this product on or near curbs.
Energy Absorption Systems, in compliance with the National Cooperative Research Highway Program 350 (NCHRP Report 350) “Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance of Highway Safety Features”, contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to perform crash tests, evaluation of tests, and submittal of results to the Federal Highway Administration for review.
The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems was tested to meet the impact criteria, requirements, and guidelines of NCHRP Report 350. These tests, specifically set forth by FHWA, evaluate product performance by simulating those impacts outlined by NCHRP Report 350 involving a typical range of vehicles on our roadways, from lightweight cars (approx. 820kg [1800 lb.]) to full size pickup trucks (approx. 2000 kg [4400 lb.]) as specified by the FHWA. A product can be certified for multiple Test Levels. The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown below:
Test Level 3: 100 km/h [62 mph]
These FHWA directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway. This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of NCHRP 350 as approved by FHWA. Energy Absorption Systems does not represent nor warrant that the results of these controlled tests show that vehicle impacts with the products in other conditions would necessarily avoid injury to person(s) or property. Impacts that exceed the specifications of the system may not result in acceptable crash performance as outlined in NCHRP Report 350, relative to structural adequacy, occupant risk, and vehicle trajectory. Energy Absorption Systems expressly disclaims any warrant or liability for injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any impact, collision, or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or nearby hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were assembled by or under the direction of Energy Absorption Systems or by third parties.

Important Introductory Notes Proper deployment and maintenance of the Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems is critical to achieve performance under appropriate state and federal guidelines. Take the time to thoroughly review this Manual, including the Limitations and Warnings section, before performing the necessary work. Do not attempt to assemble any Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems without the proper plans and assembly Manual from the manufacturer. If you require additional information, or have questions about the Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems, please contact Energy Absorption Systems Customer Service Department. See Customer Service Contacts on Page 3 of this Manual.
www.energyabsorption.com Revision E August 2012 www.highwayguardrail.com 8 All rights in copyright reserved
System Overview The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module systems are gating, non-redirective, and easy-to-assemble crash cushions consisting of a number of sand-filled modules that are assembled in a specific geometric array in front of a hazard.
Each module of the Energite® III consists of a one-piece barrel, a lid, and in some cases a cone insert. The cone insert is used to adjust the sand height or center-of-mass and the overall weight of the barrel. The barrel’s weight requirement is determined by its place within the array.
Each module of the Fitch® Universal Module consists of one set of walls, one core, one lid and four zip strips. These components will make any weight module 90k 180, 320, 640, 960 kg (200, 400, 700, 1400 and 2,100 lb.) required.
The Energite® III/Fitch® Universal Module Systems modules are available in 90, 180, 320, 640 and 960 kg (200, 400, 700, 1400 and 2,100 lb.) sizes. Refer to Figures 1A/B and 2A/B.
