The NSM-3E Signal Monitor will then display the appropriate fault status along with the proceed indications active at the time of the fault. The NSM-3E Signal Monitor will remain in this fault mode until a reset command is issued via the front panel RESET button or External Test Reset Input.
When enabled, the Red 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 NSM-3E Signal Monitor into the fault mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer. This function is enabled by the front panel option switch labeled "WALK DISABLE".
This monitoring function detects simultaneous indications of active Green, Yellow, Walk, and Red field signal outputs on the same channel on the NSM-3E Signal Monitor. A Dual Indication fault places the NSM-3E Signal Monitor into the fault mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer.
Recurrent Pulse detection algorithm will combine these pulses into one event and trigger a Conflict fault once the longer recurrent timing threshold is exceeded. When triggered by a recurrent fault condition, the NSM-3E Signal Monitor will enter the fault mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer and illuminate the appropriate CONFLICT, DUAL INDICATION, or RED FAIL indicator along with the RP STATUS indicator.
This function prevents the cabinet controller from being operated with the monitor disabled due to a faulty Reset button or External Reset input. The NSM-3E Signal Monitor monitors the state of the front panel Reset button and the External Reset input. When a Reset...
Installation 3.1 HARNESSING CONNECTORS All field terminations are brought into the NSM-3E Signal Monitor by means of MIL-C-26482 connectors. The outside harnesses are not interchangeable between any of the 6, 12, or 18 channel monitors as defined by NEMA Traffic Control Systems Specification (TS-1, part 6), i.e., a 6 channel harness assembly will not mate with a 3 channel signal monitor.
NSM-3E Signal Monitor Unit Operations Manual 3.4.3 WALK DISABLE Set this switch to the ON position to remove the Walk inputs from Red Fail and Dual Indication monitoring. See Sections 1.3.1 and 2.2.2 3.4.4 CVM LATCH Set this switch to the ON position to change a CVM fault to the latched state. See Section 1.4.2.
NSM-3E Signal Monitor Unit Operations Manual Section 4 Front Panel Description 4.1 STATUS DISPLAY 4.1.1 POWER INDICATOR The POWER indicator will flash at a rate of 2Hz when the AC+ line voltage goes below the drop-out level. It will illuminate steadily when the AC+ line voltage returns above the brown- out restore level.
4.2 NO FAULT CHANNEL DISPLAY When the NSM-3E is not in the fault state, the unit will continuously display the active Green, Yellow, Walk and Red field status simultaneously on a four color LED full intersection display.
