SSCC APPLICATIONS & PROGRAMMING GUIDELINES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4.11 SSCC IIIi Programming Guidelines
The GCP5000 (GCE) can be configured to use up to two Solid State Crossing Controller IIIi
(SSCC IIIi) modules. Crossing controller modules directly control the gates, lights, and bells for
a crossing. Each crossing controller module includes:
•
a gate drive output
•
a bell output
•
2 lamp outputs that can drive up to 20A of lamp current
•
5 vital Inputs
The GCP5000 (GCE) programming for the SSCC IIIi modules allows flexibility in the use of the
SSCC IIIi modules.
Generally, the SSCC IIIi modules use a separate set of batteries from the GCP5000 (GCE)
battery to provide lamp, gate, and bell drive.
EXCEEDING 16.5 VDC ON CROSSING CONTROLLER POWER
TERMINALS MAY RESULT IN INTERMITTENT FALSE ACTIVATIONS.
EXCEEDING 18 VDC WILL RESULT IN CONTROLLER DAMAGE.
4.11.1 Program Parameters
The program configuration parameters for the SSCC IIIi modules are shown in Figure 4-12. The
following general options are available for crossing operation:
Gates Used
Specifies whether gates are used at the crossing.
Set to Yes when gates are used
Default: Yes
SSCC1+2 GPs coupled
Set to Yes to allow a de-energized GP (gate position) input of one crossing controller to flash
the lamps of the other crossing controller.
Set to No to allow the two crossing controllers to function independently. When GP's are not
coupled in the main menu, the GP's coupled parameter will not display in the template menu.
Default: Yes.
Min Activation
Specifies the minimum crossing controller activation period when the crossing is activated and
then immediately deactivated.
Range: 0 – 100 seconds. Default: 0
