Each cabinet shall be natural aluminum with anchor bolts in accordance with the FHWA-IP-78-16 specification. The input files shall meet the requirements of the split input file below. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract, the cabinet shall include the following: Quantity Item 2 Internal (front/back) fluorescent lamps 4 Model 430 Transfer Relays 2 Model 204 2-Circuit Flasher (cube type, 25 AMP output) 8 Model 200 Load Switches (cube type, 25 AMP output) 3 Model 242 DC Isolators 6 Model 222 Loop Amplifiers 1 Model 210 Monitor with absence of red monitoring 1 New York 330 Pull-out Drawer Assembly 1 Auxiliary Detector Termination Panel Assembly- 1 Transient Voltage Surge Suppression System 1 Output file with Phoenix Connectors The power distribution assembly shall be the PDA No. 2. The PDA No. 2 shall have field circuit breakers 1-6 to provide 15 amperes of operating AC current to the field load switches. If one of the field breakers is set off, the indicating switch shall place power on the MC coil and FTR coils causing a flashing operation. A 20 conductor cable assembly for monitoring the red outputs of all signal load switches shall be provided and mounted to the back panel assembly. The cable shall be routed to the front of the assembly and be plugged into the connector on the front of the conflict monitor. A means of selecting the active red monitor channel shall be provided on the rear of the monitor panel. Selection shall be accomplished by means of a two position jumper (shunt) with the center position wired to a red monitor input and select of 115V AC to the right and red load switch output to the left. Moving the jumper to the right will provide continuous red input and override, while moving a jumper to the left will attach the monitor channel to the corresponding load switch output. This jumper assembly shall be accessible while the intersection is in operation. Means shall be provided to prevent shock to personnel operating jumper selection devices. A minimum of 12 selections are required, eight phase selections and four overlap selections shall be provided with jumper selections. Red monitoring disable control shall be provided within the red monitor cable assembly. Pin six on TB02 shall connect to a 24V DC relay coil. This relay is designated RM control relay. The normally closed contacts shall provide 115V AC to the red monitor select line and pin 17 on the monitor cable. When a logic ground signal is applied to TB02-6 the RM relay shall energize and open the cable. The relay power will be derived from the cabinet 24V DC cabinet power supply. Electrical characteristics of the device that will be used for series transient protection on the 332 and 336S cabinet system shall include tests run using a Velonex 587 surge generator and Tektronix oscilloscope type 2430 or equivalent hardware. Using ANSI/IEEE 062.41-1980 waveforms for normal mode and common mode ring wave and impulse tests, each unit shall comply to the following minimum characteristics: (1) Clamping level 400V peak normal mode and 500V peak common mode. Trace photos and other test related information will be available upon request. (2) EMI/EFI noise rejection derived via standardized 50 ohm insertion loss tests shall have amplitude of at least -20db over a minimum spectrum from 50 kHz with a -40db being the most desirable. (3) Diagnostics indicators shall clearly display the status of the suppression circuit. The indication shall warn of the loss of protection. (4) Transient energy suppression shall be in excess of 250 Joules (5) Rated voltage is 120V AC with rated output current minimum 10 amperes single phase operation. All of the above components provided on the project, excluding the signal monitor unit, shall be on the Colorado Qualified Products listing. Split input file shall be an SF 170 that will operate in the 332/336S cabinets The Split Input File shall use the same form factors as the present (older) input file and shall be completely interchangeable with these older input files except as follows. The input file shall use a split 22 pin connector (2 rows of 22 pins) which provide for 44 unique contacts, rather than the 22 double contacts as provided by the former input file. This design shall interface electrically with the older 2 and 4 channel devices available under the 170 and NEMA TS1 specification as well as the newer 2 and 4 channel devices as specified in the TS2 NEMA specification. The input file shall be divided into two partitions. The first partition shall include the first eight slots from the left; the second partition shall include the next six slots. All 14 slots shall be able to be tied to one common communication drop if desired. The serial/TTL Transmit and receive pairs shall be wired across the back panel. TXO, DXO, and Ground0 serve the first eight slots; TX1, DX1 and Ground1 serve the next six slots. Black plane addressing is automatically assigned in the rear of the input file, such that: Slot 1 = Address 0 Slot 2 = Address 1.... Slot 8 = Address 7 (all three line low) Addressing from the front of any input device shall override the back plane addressing. Serial connections shall use a standard quick lock connection.
