Page 9: Section 1 General Description
This product manual is for people installing, operating, and maintaining the Reno A & E Model 2018E Conflict Monitor Unit (CMU). We designed the Reno A & E Model 2018E monitor to meet or exceed the specifications in Chapter 3, Section 6, of the Caltrans Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES) dated 08/16/02. - Page 10 Controller Unit and the +24 volt direct current power supply. The Model 2018E 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 2018E 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 2018E monitor includes several features designed to enhance the safety and operation of the monitor. These features extend the Model 2018E monitor features beyond the requirements of the Caltrans standards. -

Configuration: The setting of Watchdog switch determines if this feature is active. The testing default for this feature should be enabled. NOTE: The Model 2018E 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. -
