Standard Functions
2.1 CONFLICT MONITORING
When voltages on any conflicting channels are sensed as active for more than the
Conflict Fault time (Section 9), the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will enter the fault
mode, transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position, and display the
CONFLICT status screen. The MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will remain in the fault
mode until the unit is reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL RESET input.
When voltages on any conflicting channels are sensed as active for less than the
Conflict No-Fault time, the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will not transfer the OUTPUT
relay contacts to the Fault position.
The MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
is fully programmable and requires the use of
soldered wire jumpers on an interchangeable Programming Card to define permissive
channel pairs. The Programming Card is used with both Type 16 and Type 12
operation. See Section 6.2.1 for Programming Card details.
2.2 RED FAIL MONITORING
When voltages on all inputs (G, Y, R, (W)) to a channel are sensed as inactive for more
than the Red Fail Fault time (Section 9), the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will enter the
fault mode, transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts to the Fault position, and display the
RED FAIL status screen. The MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will remain in the fault mode
until the unit is reset by the RESET button or the EXTERNAL RESET input. When
voltages on all inputs to a channel are sensed as inactive for less than the Red Fail No-
Fault time, the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
will not transfer the OUTPUT relay contacts
to the Fault position.
Red Fail Monitoring will be disabled when the RED ENABLE input is not active. In the
Type 16 mode, Red Fail Monitoring will also be disabled if the LOAD SWITCH FLASH
bit is set to "1" in the Type 0 message from the Controller Unit.
Programming is provided in the SET / VIEW CONFIG menu item to enable Red Fail
Monitoring on a per channel basis. See Section 6.3.3 for the programming procedure.
2.2.1 RED ENABLE INPUT
The RED ENABLE input will be sensed as active by the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
when it exceeds the Red Enable Input threshold (Section 8.1.2). The presence of the
proper operating voltage at this input enables Red Fail Monitoring, Minimum Yellow
Change/Red Clearance Monitoring, and Dual Indication Monitoring. In the Type 16
mode, if the LOAD SWITCH FLASH bit is set to "1" in the Type 0 message from the
Controller Unit, Red Fail Monitoring will be disabled.
The main status screen will display “RED ENABLE IS OFF” if the RED ENABLE input
is not active. In the Type 16 mode, if the LOAD SWITCH FLASH bit is set to "1" in the
Type 0 message from the Controller Unit, the main status screen will display “CU LS-
FLASH is SET”.
2.2.2 WALK DISABLE OPTION
This option will modify the operation of Red Fail and Dual Indication Monitoring in the
TS-1 Type 12 mode only. When enabled, the Red Fail and Dual Indication Monitoring
function will not monitor the Walk field outputs. Absence of signals on the Green,
Yellow, and Red field outputs of a channel will place the MMU2-16LE SmartMonitor
®
into the Red Fail fault mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer. Presence of
