Railroad Control Limited’s Exit Gate Management System (EGMS). The Model E-1400 monitors and processes signals from four loop / lead-in circuits, four check loop circuits, and four Vital inputs. These inputs can be programmed to control eight Vital outputs, four primary Vital outputs and four auxiliary Vital outputs.

This feature can be used to eliminate crosstalk between adjacent loops connected to different E-1400 detectors. NOTE: Response times will vary depending on the number of detectors (up to a maximum of four) on the SYNCH Line. (See Section 3.4.)
Vital Output(s) to which the Loop Status Input(s) and/or Health Status Input(s) is (are) mapped will be deactivated. The loop check test will be repeated at regular intervals depending on the value programmed into the Model E-1400 Op Man Ver 4.02 2008 03 14 Page 12 of 41...

Error Message Display Screens The Model E-1400 stores operating parameters and detection reference settings in two places. The detector hardware includes an internally mounted EEPROM and an externally mounted EEPROM memory module. In order for the detector to operate properly, an external EEPROM memory module MUST be connected to the EGMS rack.

(set by the sensitivity settings), the detector will deactivate a vital output if one is mapped. If the rate of change is slow, typical of environmental drift, the detector will continuously track and compensate for the change. The Model E-1400 detector also monitors the loop frequency for out of range conditions such as an open or shorted loop circuit.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING The Reno A & E Model E-1400 Detector requires no maintenance. If you are having problems with a Model E-1400 detector, use the troubleshooting tips below to help determine the cause of the problem.
