Controller Unit and the +24 volt direct current power supply. The Model 2018 is fully programmable. An interchangeable Program Card is provided to allow the assignment of permissive or compatible channels. Programming is accomplished through the use of diodes soldered on the Program Card.
Section 2 General Characteristics The Model 2018 monitor was designed to meet and/or exceed the specifications in Chapter 3 Section 6 of the Caltrans Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES) dated 08/16/02. The Model 2018 monitor includes several features designed to enhance the safety and operation of the monitor. These features extend the Model 2018 monitor features beyond the requirements of the Caltrans standards.
OFF when it is less than 50V The Model 2018 will not recognize state changes of the MC Coil input while AC power is not valid. This ensures that short power interruptions do not cause unintended state changes of the MC Coil input.
The monitor can use either a 16-channel Programming Card or an 18-channel Program Card. Refer to the table in section 2.6 for Programming Card connector pin assignments. The monitor can be configured to accept both types 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 5 of 41...
Fault relay to the Fault state does not exceed 475 milliseconds. The relay maintains this state for the duration of the Power Failure and will enter the Power Recovery mode when power returns. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 6 of 41...
If the change is undone, the beeping will stop and the monitor must be reset to resume normal operations. No configuration changes are implemented 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 7 of 41...
Yellow in the child channel being active at the same time will be ignored as a conflict. Also, if a display is a Flashing Yellow Arrow it must flash. If it does not flash the monitor will remove the 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 8 of 41...
If a Channel has an FYA setting with a yellow border for one of its child channels, then the Yellow of the child channel will be included in the red fail test for that channel. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 9 of 41...
Typically, pedestrian channels will have Yellow Disable jumpers installed. The testing defaults for this feature are determined by the jumpers installed on the program card. Typically, no jumpers are installed during automated testing. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 10 of 41...
MC Coil (Relay Output, Side 2): All short clearance testing will be disabled when this input is below and enabled when this input is above 70V Feature Interactions: 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 11 of 41...
Configuration: The setting of Watchdog switch determines if this feature is active. The testing default for this feature should be enabled. NOTE: The Model 2018 monitor can be factory configured without the Watchdog switch. If the switch is not present, the monitor will operate with the Watchdog monitoring function permanently enabled.
Yellow arrow display. If the Green arrow is being terminated, the Yellow arrow will still conflict with the conflict child channel Yellow. This setting can only be modified through the RaeComM software. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 13 of 41...
Configuration: The setting of the +24VDC Enhanced Monitoring Enable (Option Switch 3 – 24V ENH) DIP switch determines if this feature is active. This feature allows for over voltage monitoring and ripple voltage monitoring. The testing default for this feature should be disabled. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 14 of 41...
Configuration: The setting of the 2010 Mode (Option Switch 7 - 2010) DIP switch determines if this feature is active. The 210 mode of operation is selected when the switch is OFF. The 2010 mode of operation is selected when the switch is ON. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 15 of 41...
Program Card Absent Monitoring: When Do Not Allow 16 Channel Program Card is enabled and a 16 channel Program Card is installed, a PC AJAR fault will be generated with all three field indications for channels 1 through 16 flashing. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 16 of 41...

When the date and time are not available through Port 1, the monitor will use its internal Real Time Clock as a date / time stamp for events. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 21 of 41...
2.8 DIAGNOSTICS The Model 2018 unit incorporates a 16-bit microprocessor as the main processing unit, a 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP), and two 8-bit microcontrollers. The main microprocessor can be upgraded via the front panel communications port. The DSP and the two microcontrollers are flash based and can be reprogrammed in circuit.
This allows the user to ensure that all displays are functioning correctly. A more comprehensive test of the front panel LEDs is available through the RaeComM software. This testing will sequence through a preprogrammed sequence of test patterns. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 23 of 41...

4 enables this feature. When installed, the monitor will always perform Multiple Indication and Short Yellow monitoring. See Section 2.6.2.4 for more information. 4.1.5 WATCHDOG SWITCH The Model 2018 monitor features a circuit board mounted, two-position toggle switch that can be used to enable the Watchdog Timer monitoring function. The toggle switch, labeled WATCHDOG, is located near the center of the circuit board just above the upper Programming Card guide.
The red RED FAIL indicator is used to indicate that one or more channels of the monitor had no active field inputs (Red, Yellow, or Green). See Section 2.5.2 for more information on a Red Fail fault. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 34 of 41...

SOLID - Channels that are permissive with the flashing channel according to the diodes on the Programming Card. In the example shown, the Permissives for Channel 1 are being viewed and the Permissives are Channel 7, Channel 8, and Channel 9. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 38 of 41...
In the example shown, Channel 1 is the solid arrows, Channel 2 is the conflicting through channel, and Channel 9 Green is where the Flashing Yellow Arrow indication is connected. 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 39 of 41...
If the display reverts back to AC Line Voltage while trying to access a particular prior fault, it means that the monitor does not have a prior fault saved for the prior fault being accessed (you have reached the end of the log). 889-3809-00 Model 2018 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 40 of 41...
Section 5 Firmware Upgrade The firmware for the main microprocessor in the Model 2018 can be upgraded via the front panel COMM port. The most current version of firmware is available on the Reno A & E web site (www.renoae.com) in the support section.
