1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Type 400 controller is based on the 80188 microprocessor. This is a 16

bit device compatible with but having enhancements over the 8088 processor
used in the T200 controller.
The software is written in a powerful high level language. This has allowed
the implementation of the T400 Controller’s extensive facilities. The
Controller offers up to 16 stages and 16 phases controlled using solid state
switching.
The controller is capable of producing all the required facilities specified in

U.K. Department of Transport specification MCE 0141 (Microprocessor
Based Traffic Signal Controller for Isolated Link and Urban Traffic Control
Installations), MCE 0125 (Pedestrian Operated Equipment) & MCE 0145
(Pedestrian Operated Equipment other than Pelican controllers) plus a
number of optional facilities. (See Section 2 traffic facilities).
Specification MCE 0141 is based on the following specifications and

incorporates their most commonly used features.
MCE 0105 - Fixed Time Traffic Signal Controller (Solid State) for use in
Area Traffic Control Systems.
MCE 0106 - Vehicle Actuated Signal Controllers (Solid State) for use in
Area Traffic Control.
MCE 0124 - Cableless Linking Unit for use with Traffic Signal
Controllers.
MCE 0126 - Traffic Signal Controller for Isolated and Linked Vehicle
Actuated Installations.
TCD 316 - Area Traffic Signal Controller Modifications Specifications.
Thus, controllers supplied to specification MCE 0141 can be characterised to

allow them to operate in existing Urban Traffic Control Schemes employing
MCE 0105, MCE 0106 or TCD 316 control philosophies.
The controller appears in two styles:-
(a) SMALL T400S
The small T400 controller consists of a 2 phase pelican or a 4 real phase

controller with a minimal set of I/O and is intended to perform at small
intersections or where a pelican is required. This controller can be expanded
up to 8 Phases and can accommodate Detectors, OTU, OMU and LMU. The
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-1 Issue 10

small outercase is ground mounted but is of reduced size and has an access
door at the front only.
Expansion may be achieved by adding combinations of the following

equipment:-
Additional Phase Boards

2 or 4 phase board plus additional conflict monitoring circuitry - giving up to 8
real phase capability.
Input/Outputs
May be expanded to a maximum of 96 input/outputs provided as:-
64 Inputs (50 buffered & 14 unbuffered)
32 Outputs(all buffered).
Detectors
These can be either Siemens, Microsense, Sarasota self tune units or other
external units (micro-wave, infra-red etc).
Ancillary Equipment
OTU - Outstation Transmission Unit.
OMU/OMCU - Outstation Monitoring (& Control) Unit.
LMU - Lamp Monitoring Unit.
(b) LARGE T400L
The large T400 is housed in a ground mounted case of standard size (large
outercase) with access doors at the front and rear.
There is room to expand the basic system to cater for practically any
intersection.
Additional Phase Boards

2 or 4 phase boards plus additional conflict monitoring circuitry - giving up to
16 real phase capability.
Input/Outputs
May be expanded to a maximum of 96 input/outputs provided as:-
64 Inputs (50 buffered & 14 unbuffered)
32 Outputs (all buffered).
Detectors
These can be either Siemens, Microsense, Sarasota self tune units or other
external units (micro-wave, infra-red etc).
Ancillary Equipment
OTU - Outstation Transmission Unit.
OMU/OMCU - Outstation Monitoring (& Control) Unit.

1.3.1 HARDWARE OVERVIEW
1.3.1.1 Main Processor Board
The operations of the T400 are controlled by the Main Processor Board.
This board contains a microprocessor based on the Intel 80188
microprocessor. It also contains a Real Time Clock, an RS232C interface for
communications with a handset, the Configuration, Conflict and Firmware
Proms, I/O for interfacing with the Phase Driver Boards, Manual Panel and
general inputs and outputs e.g. detectors, control signals etc.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-8 Issue 10

1.3.1.2 4 Phase Driver Board
This board contains the triacs which are used to switch the mains on to the
traffic signals, up to four Phases can be controlled by one board. It also
contains a solar cell monitor, a lamp supply Monitor and a mains zero voltage
crossover monitor.
A maximum of four boards can be fitted in the large controller and two in the
small controller.
1.3.1.3 2 Phase Driver Board and Red Lamp Monitor
This board is similar to the 4 Phase Driver Board except that only two Phases
are controlled and it has a Red Lamp Monitor which is for use with Pelican
(and certain pedestrian crossings).
1.3.1.4 Expansion I/O Board
This board adds sixteen buffered inputs and sixteen buffered outputs to the
controller.
1.3.1.5 SDE/SA Board
This board allows speed discrimination or speed assessment to be applied to

up to sixteen assessors(sixteen loop pairs).
1.3.2 Customisation
The software for the T400 consists of an operating system which is identical
in every controller, plus data to configure the operation of the controller for
the specific application.
The configuration PROM is prepared by means of a system consisting of a

desk-top microcomputer. The data is composed using question and answer
techniques in traffic engineering terms, which require no specific knowledge
of the Intel 80188 programming language. The output of the system is data
for the configuration PROM, a print-out of the controller’s specification and
functional performance, together with detail necessary for its installation. The
system is also used to prepare the conflict PROM for the conflict monitor
system and therefore allows controllers to be configured quickly and easily.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-9 Issue 10

1.5 SAFETY
1.5.1 Controller System Checks
The Type 400 controller performs a number of tests/checks both in software

and hardware to ensure system integrity and safety.
During these checks the microprocessor and/or system hardware will switch
the signals off if any fundamental test fails. The processor will also inhibit the
re-triggering of the hardware watchdog timer which, when it expires, will
reinforce the signals-off state. An entry will also be made in the Fault Log and
the System Error LED will be illuminated.
There are some failures of a non-catastrophic nature which may occur (i.e.
battery supported data corrupted), in which case the microprocessor will re-
load the old data from configuration PROM, indicate the failure with the
system error LED and fault log, and continue to function.
Tests are performed in the following areas:

i) Basic power up tests
ii) Green correspondence
iii) Conflict PROM
iv) Configuration PROM
v) T400 Firmware
vi) Battery supported memory
vii) Correct operation of system software
viii) SDE/SA PCB functioning properly
ix) Red lamp monitoring
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-12 Issue 10

1.5.2 Power up Checks
When power is applied to a T400 controller, basic system checks are

performed before the traffic signals are illuminated. These are:
i) RAM test
ii) CRC check of system firmware (program errors)
iii) CRC check of configuration data (configuration errors)
iv) CRC check of battery supported timings
v) Real-time Clock
Note: CRC (cyclic redundancy check) coding is a very powerful error

checking technique employed in computer communication systems.
1.5.2.1 RAM Test
A non-destructive read/write test is performed on the battery supported

memory to ensure that all RAM is working. If this test fails the fault is logged
(if possible), the microprocessor halts, the watchdog will not be re-triggered,
and the signals will not be switched on.
1.5.2.2 System Firmware Test
The system PROM is checked against its respective CRC digits to ensure
that the program data is still intact. If the test fails the fault is logged, the
watchdog is not re-triggered, and the signals will not be switched on.
1.5.2.3 Configuration PROM Test
The configuration PROM is checked against its own individual CRC digit to
ensure data validity. If the test fails the fault is logged, the watchdog is not re-
triggered, and the signals will not be switched on.
1.5.2.4 Battery Timing Test
The battery supported timings are checked using the CRC digits for each
area protected. If that test fails then the error is logged, old timing reloaded
from configuration PROM, and a comparison made between battery memory
of configuration PROM. If still faulty, the watchdog is not re-triggered and
signals are not switched on.
1.5.2.5 Real-Time Clock
The Real-time Clock (i.e. duration of power failure) is checked to ensure that
it has not exceeded the limit value specified in the configuration. If the test
fails the error is logged and the master time clock system is disabled (i.e. CLF
and timeswitch facilities will not be available).
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-13 Issue 10

1.5.2.6 I/O Expansion Tests
The configured number of I/O Expansion boards is tested to ensure that they
are present.
1.5.2.7 Phase Driver Tests
The Phase Driver cards are tested to ensure there is the correct number
present and that they are in the correct position.
1.5.3 Green Correspondence Tests
During normal operation of the T400 traffic controller, a number of system

tests are continuously performed on the state of the signal greens.
The controller employs two independent green monitor systems, one based in
Software and the other based in Hardware.
1.5.3.1 Software
The microprocessor updates the signal lamps status information every 20mS
and during this time it also reads the state of the green signals as seen by the
green monitor circuit. If there is a mismatch between the state of the greens
output and the state read back, the processor will perform a number of re-
tests, and if the error is persistent it will be logged, indicating which green(s)
was at fault, and the signal will be switched off.
Also during this time a number of tests are performed on the Independent
Hardware Monitor system to ensure that the data stored in the conflict
EPROM matches that stored in the configuration EPROM, and that the green
comparator circuit and signal lamp supply relay driver is still functioning
properly.
1.5.3.2 Hardware Green Conflict System
The independent hardware green conflict monitor system comprises:
i) Dual green voltage detectors, the outputs of which are compared to

ensure that they are still functioning.
ii) Green conflict monitor PROM which stores all the permitted and non-
permitted signal combinations. Should a conflict occur, the output of
the PROM monitor, which is also monitored by the software, is passed
through a delay network and then removes the drive to the signal lamp
supply relays. Under normal circumstances, the software will remove
power from the signal lamps before the hardware does, thus providing
a duplicate system.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-14 Issue 10

Should the hardware system detect an error and switch the signals off, a
signal is returned to the microprocessor which also reinforces the signals off
condition.
1.5.4 System Background Test
During any spare time the microprocessor continuously tests the following
areas:
i) CRC check of system firmware (program errors)
ii) CRC check of configuration PROMs
iii) CRC check of battery supported timings
iv) Software watchdogs for both the main system, the SDE/SA and the
integral OTU/LMU processors.
1.5.4.1 Check of System Firmware
The test described in Section 1.5.2(1.5.2.2) is repeated.
1.5.4.2 Check of Configuration PROM
The test described in Section 1.5.2(1.5.2.3) is repeated.
1.5.4.3 Check of Battery Support
The check of the battery support of timing data is divided into two areas:
i) Battery supported phase timings, etc.

ii) Battery supported time switch settings and CLF timings.
A failure of a test in the i) area will be logged, the original timing information
will be copied from the configuration EPROM into the RAM, and a
comparison made. If the memory is still faulty, the watchdog will not be re-
triggered, and the signal will be retriggered and the controller will work to the
original configured timings.
A failure of a test in the second area will be logged, the old timing information
will be restored and checked as above, but if an error still occurs, the master
time clock system will be disabled, otherwise the master time clock system
and CLF functions will work to the original configured data.
On a pelican controller if either of the above checks fail then it will be logged
and all lamps are switched off. Manual intervention (i.e. RFL=1) and power
OFF/ON is required to restore normal operation (i.e. to restore the lamps to
ON)
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-15 Issue 10

1.5.4.4 Software Watchdogs
The system also incorporates an internal software watchdog which checks

that the following operations are being performed:
i) The main 200mS scheduler is running the correct number of modules.

ii) The 20mS scheduler is running the correct number of modules.
iii) Memory checks are still being performed.
iv) Continued operation of the SDE/SA processor.
If any failure is detected, the hardware watchdog re-trigger is inhibited.
1.5.5 Operation of the Safety System
To prevent the possibility of a hazardous signal condition being displayed,

the supply to the signals is switched off when any of the following conditions
occur:
- The green conflict monitor detects a green conflict condition present on

the signal drive outputs which connect to the green lamps.
- The microprocessor performs a green conflict test on the green conflict

monitoring system and does not receive back from the system the
response that is expected.
- The hardware comparator on the green monitor circuit sees a

discrepancy between the outputs from the dual monitoring channels.
- The microprocessor performs a test on the hardware comparator and

does not receive back the response that is expected.
- The microprocessor monitors the state of the green signal feeds via the
green monitor circuit, and non correspondence is detected between
these and the green states that the microprocessor has previously
requested.
- The watchdog facility detects that the microcomputer processing

operations have deviated from normal.
The green conflict monitor system monitors the mains voltage feeds that
supply the green signals. The monitor consists of two independent channels,
one channel monitors the positive mains half cycles of the green feeds and
the other monitors the negative half cycles of the same feeds.
The opto isolated outputs from these two independent channels connect to
the green monitor circuit on the Main Processor Card. A hardware
comparator on this card compares the two channels which should be the
same. The output from this comparator, together with the negative half cycle
channel signals, are fed to the microprocessor. The microprocessor can
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-16 Issue 10

disconnect the negative half cycle channel input from the green voltage
detector circuit and apply its own signals instead. In this way it can test the
green conflict monitor system and test the hardware comparator. The
microprocessor can also monitor the state of the green signal feeds via the
opto isolated inputs.
The Main Processor card holds the conflict PROM which produces a non-
conflicting output only provided a non-conflicting pattern of greens is
indicated by the negative half cycle channel signals. The output of this PROM
together with the output from the hardware comparator are fed via a delay to
the contactor drive circuits. This controls the relays A and B which supply the
mains power to the phase drivers.
A watchdog trip occurs if the microcomputer fails to trigger the watchdog

circuit within nominally 500mS. To trigger the watchdog the microcomputer
has to write to two particular addresses correctly within 8us of each other.
This normally happens every 200mS. The trip operation removes the drive
signal from lamp supply contactors which in turn removes the supply to the
lamps.
1.5.6 Red Lamp Monitoring
To prevent the possibility of a hazardous signal condition being displayed,

the following checks are made on the vehicle red lamps.
On a intersection with audible or tactile pedestrian indications, the controller,

using an ancillary processor card (see section 6.4.8), monitors the current
following through the conflicting vehicle phases’ red lamps. If two or more
lamps fail on the same phase, then the conflicting pedestrian phases are
inhibited from appearing.
On a part-time intersection, all the vehicle red lamps are monitored by the
ancillary processor card. If two or more lamps fail on the same phase, then all
the controller lamps are switched off.
On a mid-block controller (e.g. pelican), each vehicle approach is monitored

by the hardware of the 2-phase phase driver board (see section 1.3.1). If any
monitored approach has no vehicle red lamps illuminated, then all the lamps
are switched off.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 1-17 Issue 10

2. SPECIFICATION
2.1 MAINS SUPPLY

The following table shows the supply voltages which may be used:
Nominal Minimum Maximum Peak
Voltage Voltage Voltage Voltage
240 192 264 276
230 192 264 276
* 220 188 252 264
* 200 170 229 240
120 96 132
110 96 132
The peak voltage levels shown in the above table have a half hour rating.
(* - The auto-transformer facility is required for these voltages.)
It is recommended that the signals are supplied at the nominal mains voltage
during bright. i.e. For a 200 volt nominal supply, use 200 volt
transformer/bulbs. (See Appendix D for details of Tuen Mun requirements).
PROSPECTIVE SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT OF THE SUPPLY MUST NOT

EXCEED 16,000 AMPS.
Frequency: 50Hz ±2Hz or

60Hz ±2Hz (factory selectable)
Mains Brownout: Continues operating with up to 50mS loss of mains.
Mains Fail: Restart without operator intervention.
Battery Support: Provides support for the following during power failures.
(a) Clock Synchronisation (programmable upto 31 days).
(b) Timing Data (greater than one year).
Dimming Voltage: 120, 140, 160 V rms
Solar Cell Input: Dimming cannot be provided at low mains supply
voltages, e.g. 120v or less, as solar input operating
voltages are as follows:-
Bright to Dim > 140v RMS
Dim to Bright < 22v RMS
Note: Dimming is available on 50-0-50 volt controllers.
The Type 400 controller solar cell enables the controller to identify the light
level and thus dim the signals when it is dark. The switch is set to operate at
55 lux and release at 110 lux. The voltage range for the device is 240v ±
20%.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-1 Issue 10

2.1.1 Electrical Noise
2.1.1.1 Supply Transients
The T400 can withstand the following transients on its supply as required in
MCE 0141.
±100% Supply R.M.S. voltage for 10mS

±200% Supply R.M.S. voltage for 1mS
±300% Supply R.M.S. voltage for 0.02mS
±500% Supply R.M.S. voltage for 0.005mS
2.1.1.2 Electrical Interference
The T400 Controller has been designed to create very little electrical
interference by the use of mains filters and solid state lamp switching control.
The mains filters protect the incoming mains supply from any T400 generated
signals. The lamp switches are switched at zero cross-over of the mains
supply to reduce any switching transients.
The switching of the signals for dim/bright lamps changeover is controlled

carefully to ensure the inductive switching does not cause interference.
The T400 controller design is also extremely tolerant of externally generated

electrical interference. Care is taken to avoid earth loops using a ‘Star’ point
earthing system to which the cabinet, the cabinet doors, the internal
metalwork, the junction cabling and the mains earth is connected.
Extra logic supply filtering is provided by the switched mode power unit.
The arrangement and partitioning of the controller equipment is carefully

arranged to reduce electrical noise.
The PCBs have a gridded zero voltage track layout with extensive decoupling
of logic supplies. Unused inputs are connected to the logic supplies to ensure
their logic state.
The phase switching system has isolation provided by opto-SCR’s and zero
crossing switched triacs for the mains switching. The circuit includes a
snubber filter circuit which aids triac switch off when an inductive circuit is
connected.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-2 Issue 10

2.2 DETERMINATION OF LOADING, SELECTION OF DIMMING TRANSFORMER

& LAMP FUSE
This section describes the method used to determine that the controller can
supply the total lamp load required, how to select the correct dimming
transformer and lamp fuse and how to determine the overall power used for
estimation of site running costs.
2.2.1 Controller Load
Typical supply requirement for a controller including dimming transformer

(excluding lamp loads, detectors and O.T.U) is:
- 75 watts
- Siemens St. or Microsense detectors require 6 watts per unit and the
Sarasota MTS36Z (2 channel) or MTS38Z (4 channel) detectors
require 3 watts per unit. (NB The power consumption is the same for
both 2 and 4 channel units.)
2.2.2 Lamp Drive Capability

No. of
Max Tungsten
Power Halogen HI
Amps (Watts) Lamps (63W)
Maximum lamp current that the 20A 4800W 76
controller can supply including
regulatory signs and short term
illumination, i.e. red/amber.
Maximum lamp load for one phase 10A 2400W 37
driver card (including red/amber)
Maximum load for one triac output on a 4A 960W 15
phase driver card
Maximum supply for regulatory signs 5A 1200W 15 Reg. Signs

(76 volt-amps per sign)
Note 1: The 5 Amp Regulatory Signs supply may be extended to a 10

Amp supply using the Mod kit 667/1/20699/000. (Note that total
controller supply is still limited to 20 Amps and that a 45A Master
switch fuse must be fitted).
Note2: The regulatory signs supply on a T400L can also be extended

without reduction in Lamp drive capability by means of an Excess
Current Regulatory Signs Mod Kit (667/1/20699/001). This
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-3 Issue 10

involves separating the Live and Neutral feeds to the Regulatory

signs from the signal feeds. This will allow for up to 10A
(unfiltered) for the Regulatory signs and up to 20A for the signal
lamps.
Note 3: The Lamp and Wattage columns are equivalents for the currents
shown, based on a 240 volts supply.
Note 4: If the lamp load is 13A up to 20A then a 45A Master Switch kit,
667/1/20246/000, must be used.
2.2.3 Selection of Dimming Transformer
Calculate the Total average signal lamp power as follows and using the
figures in Table .
Total average signal Lamp Power is the sum of the signal lamp power plus
the sum of the Wait indicator power. For the theoretical junction (Figure 2.2)
this would be:-
One lamp per signal head @ 63W x 12 signal heads = 756W

Wait indicators at 40W x 4 = 160W
Total average signal lamp power = 916W
Note: When selecting the dimming transformer the peak lamp power is not
used as the transformer can withstand the overload for the 2 second
Red / Amber period.
Table 2.2.3(a) Lamp Load Per Aspect (Watts)
Dim Dim Dim

Bright 160V 140V 120V
Tungsten filament 65 53 - 35
65 watt WAIT Indicator 65 53 - 35
40 watt WAIT Indicator 42 25 - 1
50 watt High Intensity 63 33 27 20
100 watt High Intensity 120 60 - 40
Regulatory sign (wattage) (Use this for 30 - - -
estimation of power consumption)
Regulatory sign (Volt-Amps) 76 - - -
(Use this for calculation of current)
Note that the values given in the above table relate to the average lamp
power plus power losses involved in driving the lamp.
Now using Table choose which dimming transformer is required for the
dimming voltage required.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-4 Issue 10

For the theoretical junction, using the figure obtained above (916W) and
160V dimming the transformer required would be the 1kVA version. (Note that
in this case the same transformer would be chosen regardless of the
Dimming voltage required.)
Table 2.2.3(b) Selection of Dimming Transformer.

4090W < load < 4560W 2.0 kVA 98 Note 1
load < 2260W 1.0 kVA 40
140v 2260W < load < 3400W 1.5 kVA 59

160v 2000W < load < 2800W 1.5 kVA 50
2800W < load < 3960W 2.0 kVA 66
Notes:-
1. The absolute maximum number of lamps supported in these cases is
limited by the Lamp fuse in Bright condition. This also applies to short
time illumination e.g. Red / Amber periods. See also section 2.2.2.
2. All lamps are assumed to be tungsten halogen (63W bright). See table
2.2.3(a) for ratings at dimmed voltages.
2.2.4 Calculating The Lamp Supply Fuse Required
In order to calculate the lamp supply fuse required the worst case red/amber
is used, i.e. the red/amber during which the most signal heads are at
red/amber. For the theoretical junction (Figure 2.2) this is during the move 2
to 1 with 5 signal heads at red/amber.
The lamp power is then re-calculated using 126 Watts for every signal head
at red/amber (assuming 63W lamp power). This gives us the peak lamp
power e.g. for our theoretical junction Figure 2.2.
Signal heads at red/amber x 126 watts 5 x 126 = 630W

Signal head with 1 lamp illuminated x 63 watts 7 x 63 = 441W
Every WAIT indicator illuminated x 40 watts 4 x 40 = 160W
1231W
This is divided by 240 volts to give us the peak lamp current:

i.e. 1231/240 = 5.2 Amps.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-5 Issue 10

Then from the following table we derive our HRC fuse and hence the Master
switch fuse:-
Table 2.2.4 HRC and Master Switch Fuse Selection
Peak Lamp Current H.R.C. Fuse Master Switch Fuse

Up to 7A 20ET 30A
7A to 10A 25ET 30A
10A to 13A 40ET 30A
13A to 15A 40ET 45A
15A to 20A 55ET 45A
For the theoretical junction this would lead to a choice of a 20ET HRC fuse
and a 30A fuse in the Master Switch.
Note 1 The Regulatory Signs do not have any impact on the selection of
the HRC fuse.
Note 2 If 15A to 20A lamp load and up to 10A of Regulatory signs is

required then the excess Regulatory signs current kit is required as
Note 2.
Note 3 The xxET type fuses are selected for their high current fast blowing
characteristic. This provides protection for the phase drive triacs.
Note 4 The numbers associated with ET fuses do not indicate the fuse
rating. e.g. A 20ET fuse is not for 20A loads.

2.2.5 Calculation Of An Intersection’s Power Requirements For Running Costs

Estimate
The following worked example is based upon a 240 volts mains supply.
Firstly the Total average lamp power for the junction is calculated. Secondly
the Total average lamp power is added to the Total average controller power:
This gives the total average junction power which a local authority may use to
estimate running costs.
i.e. Total average junction power = Total average lamp power +

Total average controller power.
Total average lamp power is calculated as follows:-
For every signal head, 1 lamp is illuminated at 63 watts, every WAIT indicator
is illuminated at 40 watts and every Regulatory sign is illuminated at 30W.
Therefore, considering our theoretical junction (Figure 2.2), we have:-
1 lamp per signal head at 63 watts 63 x 12 756Watts

Every wait indicator illuminated at 40 watts 40 x 4 160Watts
One Regulatory Sign at 30W. 30 x 1 30Watts
Total average Lamp Power is 946 Watts
Total average controller power is calculated as follows:-
Average Controller power + Average Detector Power. See section 2.2.1.
A controller with dimming is rated at 75 watts.
Detector cards are rated at 6 watts/card for every Siemens ST detector.
Therefore for our theoretical junction (Figure 2.2) the total average controller
power is:-
1 x Controller 75 Watts
1 x Siemens ST detector 6 Watts
Total average controller power 81 Watts
667/HB/20200/000 Page 2-7 Issue 10

For the total average junction power to aid local authorities with running cost
estimates, the total average lamp power must be added to the controller
average power.
Total average Junction power is calculated as follows:-
Total average lamp power 946 Watts

Controller power 81 Watts
Total average Junction Power 1027 Watts
If it required to make an estimate of running costs which include the period of

time that the signals are dimmed this can be approximated as follows:-
Total average Junction Power (Dimmed) is :-
Total average Signal Power * (Dimmed Voltage / Nominal Mains voltage) plus
Total Regulatory signs power plus Total average Controller Power.
Therefore for the theoretical junction :-
Total average Junction Power (Dimmed)

= (160v/240v)x(946W-30W) +81W +30W
= 722 Watts
Note 1 The power used by the regulatory signs for estimation of running
costs is approximately 30W.
For fusing purposes the regulatory signs are rated at 76 VA due
to the inductive nature of the load they present to the supply.
Ensure that the 76VA figure is used when assessing whether to
use a 5A or 10A fuse.
Note 2 The controller power should also include any additional

equipment supplied by the controller. This may include, for
example, OTU, OMU or Auxiliary detector power supply.

-12v (± 10%) @ 0.1 Amps with over-current protection.
2.2.7 Regulated Interface & Detector Supplies
(a) The logic PSU also provides a 24v supply to the power interface
circuits for the controller together with some spare capacity for
powering detector cards.
+24v (± 10%) @ 2 Amps with over-current protection.
The spare capacity is between 1.1 and 1.7 Amps dependent on the

additional power supply may be used to supply power to internal or
external detection equipment. Two versions of this supply are
available.
+27.5v (± 4%) @ 2 Amps or 4 Amps.
This supply voltage has been specified to overcome the voltage drop
on feeders and to remove the need for supply regulation at remotely
situated detection equipment.
NOTE
Facilities exist for separately powering detectors. Refer to Above
Ground Detectors Handbook, 667/HE/20665/000).

Maximum number of hardware plus software phases = 16
2.5 STAGES
Maximum of 16 (Note:- Stage 0 is normally ALL RED)
2.6 TIMINGS
All controller timings are stored in EPROM at configuration time. These

timings are subsequently transferred to battery supported RAM. Once in RAM
most timings can be varied by handset commands (see section 7). However,
should the total power failure time be long enough to drain the battery
supporting the RAM and cause loss of data, (i.e. typically four years), the
controller will revert to the original timings in EPROM.
Some timings considered to be safety timings cannot be changed by handset,

these are typically the Amber and Red/Amber periods. These timings can,
however, be changed at configuration time to suit other signal sequences,
export requirements etc.
Following is a summary of some of the timings available within the Type 400
controller. It also shows their upper and lower limit values and where
applicable the configurable limits. All timings are in seconds unless otherwise
marked.
Tolerance
All timings, except CLF and Master Time Clock, are derived from the crystal
frequency which has a tolerance of 35 parts per million. An additional error,
due to random signals not being synchronised to the clock pulse, may add up
to 200mSec to the time.
If the result of the above timings is required to change the signal lamps, a
further error may occur, which may be up to a max. of 21 mSec.
The set-up accuracy of the real time clock and offsets calculated from it will
be 1 sec. The average long term drift will be 1 sec. per year or better, subject
to the quality of the mains supply.

The T400 in a grey outercase is designed to operate in external ambient

temperatures of -15ºC to +60ºC. A white tropical outercase may be supplied
when requested by a customer, but this does not provide any benefit with
regard to solar radiation. Use in countries where high levels of and long
periods of, solar radiation are expected, may impose restrictions on T400
hardware configuration. Contact Engineering at Poole for more details on
hardware restrictions.

3. TRAFFIC FACILITIES
The following list of controller functions and facilities is a brief overview of the
capabilities of the T400 Controller.
Each heading is an extract from handbook 667/EB/20200/000 where further

details on each subject can be found. At the back of this section, a copy of
our specification sheets are included which, will indicate the data required to
configure these facilities.
3.1 STAGES
3.1.1 Stage Facilities
16 stages (0-15)
Stage 0 - all red
Stage 1 - Normally start up stage (which cannot be deleted)
3.1.2 Allocation Of Phases
Phases are allocated to stages. However each phase in a stage runs

independently and therefore the timings of a stage depend upon the
interaction of the phase timings within that stage.
3.1.3 Stage Active
A stage is considered active when:-

All fixed phases allocated to the stage are at green and all fixed and non
fixed phases not allocated to the stage are at red.
3.1.4 Stage Terminating
A stage is considered to be terminating when:-

The first phase which has had R.O.W, (i.e. been at green) during the stage,
loses right of way.
3.1.5 Inter Stage Period
The interstage period is the time between one stage terminating and another
stage becoming active.
3.1.6 Stage Movement Restrictions
Ignore moves:- The controller can be configured to ignore certain possible

moves from a stage, and so will look for other acceptable moves.
Prohibited moves:- The controller can be configured such that it will never
make certain stage to stage moves.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-1 Issue 10

Care must be taken when deciding to use prohibited moves, to ensure that a
“lock up” situation cannot occur.
Alternative moves:- Alternative moves can be configured for those moves

prohibited, thus providing an allowed movement to help prevent lock-up.
Once in the alternative stage, the controller will perform its normal movement
decision programme in order to decide which stage to move to next. This
therefore means that this movement is not a move to a stage via an
alternative stage. If a move via a stage to another stage is required other
move restrictions have to be applied to the alternative stage.
Permitted moves:- All stage to stage moves not configured as any of above
types.
3.1.7 Prevent Stages/Phases
Stages and phases can be prevented from appearing provided all safety
requirements and controller cycle requirements are met. The facility can be
introduced when user defined conditions are satisfied, for example by using
special conditioning and/or master time clock.
3.2 PHASES
3.2.1 Types Of Phases
Traffic phase
Pedestrian phase
Pelican vehicle phase
Pelican pedestrian phase
Green arrow phase:- Filter green arrows or indicative green arrows.
Dummy phase
Switched sign phase
LRT phase - Uses a pedestrian phase with different aspect display.
3.2.2 Conflicting Phases
Real phases which cannot appear together for safety reasons are considered
to be conflicting and as such must have intergreen times between them.
3.2.3 Opposing Phases
If two phases oppose each other then a demand for one will start the max
green timer of the other phase if it is at green.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-2 Issue 10

3.2.4 Phase Delays
Phases can be delayed:- (a) from losing right of way and

(b) from gaining right of way.
3.2.5 Timing Periods
See section 2.6 for Phase timing periods.
3.2.6 Limiting Values
This is a value which can be defined during configuration for certain timings,
which then ensures that the appropriate times can not be set above or below
the limit value, by use of the handset.
(See section 2.6).
Note: Prom held values can be set lower than the limit value. These are
transferred to the RAM at initialisation an the controller works to
these values. The handset may only alter the times within the
limits specified. If they have been altered, they cannot be set
back down to the original value without the complete set of
timings being loaded from prom by re-initialising the controller.
3.2.7 Conditions Of Appearance For Phases
Type 0:- Always runs if the stage to which it is allocated becomes active.
Type 1:- Will only appear whenever its associated stage becomes active, if
a demand is inserted before the start of the preceding interstage.
Type 2:- Will only appear whenever its associated stage becomes active, if
a demand is inserted. No limitations on when demand is inserted.
Type 3:- This is as type 2, however once a stage associated with a type 3
phase becomes active, a window timer can be started. During this
window time, a demand for the phase will cause it to appear. After
the expiry of the window timer, demands for the phase will be
stored but not actioned. The window timer will start when its
associated stage is active and there is an opposing demand,
however, if the controller is in UTC mode the window timer will
start as soon as its associated stage becomes active.
3.2.8 Fixed Phase
Real or dummy phases with a type 0 condition of appearance.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-3 Issue 10

3.2.9 Non Fixed Phases
Real or dummy phases with type 1, 2 or 3 conditions of appearance.
3.2.10 Conditions Of Termination For Phases
Type 0:- Phase terminates at end of associated stage.
Type 1:- Phase terminates when an associated phase gains right of way.
Type 2:- Phase terminates when an associated phase loses right of way.
3.2.11 Early Termination Of Phases
Available using two consecutive stages, or phase (losing) delays.
3.3 DEMANDS AND EXTENSIONS
3.3.1 Types Of Demands
Latched - Demand remains until phase is served
Unlatched - Demand is cleared if the demand condition ceases before

phase is served.
3.3.2 Origins Of Demands And Extensions
(a) On-street detection equipment
(b) Pedestrian push button
(c) Revertive demands
(d) U.T.C demand bits
(e) Demands and/or extensions can be inserted when set conditions arise
(special conditioning).
(f) LRT requests provided via interface from LRT interrogator.
3.3.3 Repeat Pulses
Controllers when linked, can repeat demands and/or extensions between

them.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-4 Issue 10

3.3.4 SDE/SA
Extensions for high speed vehicles.
3.3.5 Handset
Demands and extensions can be inserted for phases via the handset.
3.3.6 Operation Of Demands And Extensions During Certain Modes
3.3.6.1 Manual, Fixed Time And Start-Up
While in manual mode the demands and extensions are disregarded,

however when leaving this mode demands are inserted (if configured) for all
non running phases.
Demands and extensions are normally disregarded during fixed time mode.
The controller cycles using fixed time periods for each stage. As an
alternative, the fixed time facility can be configured to run to the current
maximums. Using this latter facility demands are used, thus allowing demand
dependence of some phases in fixed time. (Note: the controller mode will
show VA mode.)
Demands are inserted for all phases during start-up unless otherwise
specified.
3.3.6.2 U.T.C
For U.T.C it is possible to configure the following.
1. Which phases and/or stages have latched or unlatched demands

inserted when a certain U.T.C demand bit is applied.
2. Which phases are extended by which U.T.C demand bits.
3. Demand dependent force bits and for each force bit which demands are
to be considered.
3.3.6.3 C.L.F Mode
Extensions are disregarded during C.L.F mode, except if an extension exists

when a phase is terminated then a revertive demand is inserted. However it is
possible to configure demand dependent moves to stages during C.L.F. This
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-5 Issue 10

is achieved by selecting the group influence as a demand dependent move to

a stage and specifying the stage.
Three alternative movements can also be specified by selecting the ‘Add

demand dependent move’ group influence.
3.3.6.4 Call/Cancel
There are up to 8 call/cancel units (0 to 7) available which may be used for

turning movements or in conjunction with queue loops or switched facilities.
The input to a unit must be active for a “call period” before the output
changes to active and similarly the input must be inactive for a “cancel
period” before the output changes to inactive.
Where call/cancel is used to control an early cut off, there are 3 control
techniques:-
(i) Normal system D detectors are used to call and extend the main stage
and the call cancel loop is used to call and extend the turn stage.
(ii) If a turn call exists then the system D detectors providing extensions for
the main stage from the approach with the turn will be inhibited. Then
during the turn stage the above system D detectors will also extend the
turning stage.
(iii) System D detectors for the main stage on the approach with the turn
will extend both the main stage and the turn stage.
The choice of which of the above methods of control to use depends on the
relative amounts of traffic for each movement. See the facilities handbook for
a fuller description.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-6 Issue 10

3.4 HIGH SPEED VEHICLE DETECTION
3.4.1 Speed Discrimination Equipment (SDE)
3.4.1.1 Double SDE
- One assessment point (2 loops) per approach lane.

- Extensions given for vehicles above a set speed threshold.
- Extra clearance to extend an intergreen period.
3.4.1.2 Triple SDE
- As double SDE except with 2 assessment points (2x2 loops) per approach
lane.
- The threshold speed for the inner assessment point will be different from
that of the outer assessment point.
3.4.2 Speed Assessment (SA)
Fixed extensions are given but the delay between a vehicle crossing an
assessor and the start of the extension, varies depending upon speed of
vehicle.
3.4.3 Assessors Available
There are up to 16 assessors (0 to 15) available for use on SDE or SA. Each
assessor may be checked with a Soundmark test set by plugging into the
socket provided and selecting the assessor on the thumb wheel switch on the
SDE/SA PCB.
3.4.4 Extra Clearance Periods
Each phase which is equipped with SDE or SA can be allocated an extra

clearance period to extend the subsequent intergreen. The extra clearance
period for each phase will be introduced if any of the following conditions
occur:-
(a) An SDE or SA extension is active for the phase during its amber
leaving state.
(b) Any speed measurement detector does not detect a vehicle during the
associated phase green period.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-7 Issue 10

(c) Optionally, any extension, (speed extension, green extension or

Priority extension), is active for the phase when it changes from green
to amber leaving.
The condition in (c) is normally disabled for individual phases at the time of
configuration. Speed extensions will still request extra clearance because of
the operation of condition (a).
An extra clearance period will be given under any mode of control, i.e.
manual, VA, fixed time, CLF, UTC, vehicle priority or hurry call. Its effect is to
increase all the inter-green timings for the phase which is being given the
extra clearance, and also to increase the phase change delay times for
gaining phases.
If the intergreen is not dependent on the SDE/SA phase inter-green time,

(because another losing phase has a longer inter-green time), then the extra
clearance period may not actually delay the appearance of the gaining
phase.
The range of the timing period for the extra-clearance is 0 to 50 seconds in 1

second steps for each SDE/SA phase.
The programmed value may be changed via the handset using the SCT
command.
3.4.5 SDE/SA on Green Arrows
Where these are single aspect, the red and amber drives of the Phase Switch
PCB are not available to drive other green arrows, as they must be
programmed as 3-aspect to get the amber signal to meet the requirement of
6.4, even though only the green arrow is connected.
3.4.6 Other Manufacturers Loops
The SDE/SA facility can be configured to operate with loop spacings of 12ft
instead of 10ft.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-8 Issue 10

3.5 MODES
These are listed in a typical order of priority.
3.5.1 Start-Up Mode
The controller will start up in a set and controlled manner to ensure the safety
of the junction users.
3.5.2 Part-Time Mode
The signals can be switched on or off at set times or under set conditions.
3.5.3 Urban Traffic Control
The T400 controller can be linked to a central computer for remote control via

signals, it will rapidly change to a selected stage to give special junction
conditions.
3.5.6 Selected Manual Control
Selecting this mode by operating a push button on the manual panel allows
the policeman to control the operation of the controller manually.
3.5.7 Selected Fixed Time or VA or CLF.
There are three pushbuttons on the manual panel which may be used to
select:-
Fixed Time.
VA
or CLF
as the working mode.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-9 Issue 10

3.5.8 Normal Mode
Selected by push button on the manual panel.

The normal position allows the controller to choose its own working mode
using its mode priority table and taking into account all other necessary
influences.
3.5.9 Cableless Link Facility (CLF) Mode
Linking two or more controllers using synchronised clocks.
3.5.10 Vehicle Actuated Mode
Stage change decisions made using vehicle detection equipment.
3.5.11 Fixed Time Mode

selection or as an alternative to VA.
3.6 MASTER TIME CLOCK
A real time clock can be provided which can control all time dependent
functions, e.g.:-
Introduction of C.L.F plans
Switch to an alternative MAX set.
Switch an input active or inactive.
Switch an output active or inactive.
Switch a sign on or off.
Delete a Phase.
Delete a Stage.
Switch an audio indicator off.
Switch to part time mode.

(b) Linking a T400 to another traffic controller
(c) Passing signals to other controllers such a detectors (demands etc),

hurry call requests etc.
(d) Linking O.T.U control and reply signals to other controllers.
3.8 ALTERNATIVE SIGNAL SEQUENCES
User defined signal sequences can be implemented when requested.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-11 Issue 10

3.9 INPUTS & OUTPUTS
The hardware can provide a maximum of 96 lines as follows:-
Main Processor Card (one of these in every controller)
Two variants of the main processor card exist. The I/O characteristics of each
are detailed below.
/001 variant - Intersection controller processor board.

2 input ports providing a total of 16 lines (8 per port), 2 lines of which are
buffered. Buffered inputs 1 and 2 should be used first on all applications.
1 output port providing 4 lines, buffered via relays (2 normally open and 2
normally closed).
Note:- Only two buffered inputs are recognised by the configurator.
/002 variant - Pelican controller processor board.

2 input ports providing a total of 16 lines (8 per port), 4 lines of which are
buffered. Buffered inputs 1 and 2 should be used first on all applications.
1 output port providing 4 lines, buffered via relays (2 normally open and 2
normally closed).
Expansion I/O Card (up to 3 of these can be fitted in a controller)
2 input ports providing a total of 16 buffered lines (8 per port).

2 output ports providing a total of 16 buffered lines (8 per port).
SDE/SA Card
4 input ports providing a total of 32 buffered lines (8 per port). 32 inputs

caters for 16 assessors. Any inputs not used for SDE/SA may be used for
other purposes e.g. detectors.
Connections
The ports on the Expansion I/O, Main Processor and SDE/SA PCBs are
accessed by sockets on the rear. The Expansion I/O Board has 4 sockets,
the Main Processor has 2 and the SDE/SA PCB has 2.
Normally equipment is connected to the controller inputs via the controller

Expansion I/O Boards, which isolate the controller logic from the outside
world. However, if the equipment is within the controller cabinet, it is possible
to connect directly to the controller Main Processor unbuffered inputs without
going via Main Processor buffered inputs or Expansion I/O Boards.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-12 Issue 10

This is only possible if the device to be connected to the controller input has
isolated (voltage free) reed relay contacts, or the Solid State equivalent, as
an output with the following impedance characteristics.
Device output low impedance < 2 kΩ

Device output high impedance > 300 kΩ
This will not operate within a standard solid state output as specified in
MCE0100.
Such output contacts must be commoned to Controller 0 volts if required.
N.B. If controller inputs are to be monitored by an Outstation Monitoring Unit

(part of a Remote Monitoring System), then the controller inputs cannot be
unbuffered - they MUST be buffered.
Port Allocation
Port numbers are allocated as per the following table:
Board Type Port No Port Type Connector name

CPU 0 INPUT PLE
CPU 1 INPUT PLE
CPU 11* OUTPUT PLC
Expansion I/O (a) INPUT PLB
Expansion I/O (b) INPUT PLC
Expansion I/O (c) OUTPUT PLD
Expansion I/O (d) OUTPUT PLE
SDE/SA 6 INPUT PLB
SDE/SA 7 INPUT PLB
SDE/SA 8 INPUT PLC
SDE/SA 9 INPUT PLC
Where (a), (b), (c) and (d) are ports on the Expansion I/O Boards numbered
using the rotary switch on the front of each board:-
Expansion Expansion Expansion Expansion

I/O Board 0 I/O Board 1 I/O Board 2 I/O Board 2
(a) INPUT 2 6 10 -
(b) INPUT 3 7 11* -
(c) OUTPUT 4 8 - 10
(d) OUTPUT 5 9 - 11*
* Port 11 can be defined as either 4 bits of output (CPU) or 8 bits of input

or output (Expansion I/O board 2).
Note: The Tuen Mun contract requires a specific I/O allocation which is
detailed in Appendix D.

667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-15 Issue 10

3.12 T400 FAILURE FLASHER FACILITY (EXPORT ONLY)
This facility uses a type 400 failure signal to release a set of contactors which
switch between the T400 phase output drives and the mains drive from the
fail flasher board. The combination of fault log entries which cause the
contactors to switch is pre-programmed into the configuration. The speed or
frequency of the flashing is controlled by 2 link fields on the fail flasher board.
One link field governs the on time, the other controls the off time, both are
programmable from 0 to 1.260 seconds in 20mSec steps.
This facility can be disable (if facility is fitted) by removing the 20 amp fuse on
the flasher pcb.
The contactors can be wired to flash either the red, amber or green aspect of
any phase.
3.13 HANDSET
The handset available has alpha numeric displays and keyboards. When in
use the handsets plugs into the RS232 port socket, on the front of the C.P.U
board. Using a handset it is possible to view and/or change some of the data
held in the T400 battery supported R.A.M. e.g. timings etc. Handsets are sold
as separate items.
1. G.R. Electronics Handset.
2. Epson with standard terminal software.
3. Epson with intelligent terminal software.

3.14 SPECIFICATION SHEETS (667/DJ/15900/000)
A copy of the specification sheets is provided in Appendix 0 of this handbook,

with a guide in section 7. It should provide an idea of the flexibility of the
controller and the data required to configure the facilities available. Spare
sets can be ordered by quoting the above number. These sheets, if filled in at
the time of the order, will reduce the delivery time, misinterpretations and
reduce the possibility of additional costs.
Note: Certain contracts use a subset of these, see Appendix 0 for Tuen Mun
specification sheets.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 3-17 Issue 10

4. PELICAN/PEDESTRIAN CONTROLLER
4.1 GENERAL
There are a number of basic configuration PROMs, covering the following

configurations: single or dual stream, MCE0125, MCE0145, Puffin or Toucan.
One of these basic configurations is selected for the controller and it is further
altered via the handset i.e. timings may be altered within approved ranges, IO
lines on the controller may be set up to have different functions etc. Selection
of some facilities may require extra hardware, e.g. extra Expansion I/O card.
Timings and selections made via the handset are stored in battery backed
RAM which is continually validated by CRC checking.
There are two modes of operation of a Pelican/Pedestrian controller:
4.1.1 Fixed Vehicle Period mode
In this mode the controller runs a set Vehicle Green period (ranging from 20
to 60 seconds in 1 second increments) after which it will service a pedestrian
demand if one exists. If no pedestrian demand is present it will rest on vehicle
green until there is a ped. demand which it will then service immediately.
4.1.2 Pelican VA mode
In VA mode, the controller will respond to vehicle extension detectors once

the minimum vehicle green has expired in the following manner :
(a) Extending/Maximum Change
If a pedestrian demand is inserted but vehicles are passing

continuously over the detectors, the vehicle green will be extended to a
preset maximum, after which the pedestrian demand is serviced. In this
instance, for safety reasons, a “maximum change” all-red period will be
inserted between the vehicle green and the pedestrian green after the
amber leaving period. If no pedestrian demand exists the vehicle max.
green timer will not be started and the vehicle phase will rest in green.
(b) Gap Changing
If a pedestrian demand is inserted where vehicles are not passing

continuously over the detectors, the controller will wait until no vehicle
extensions are being timed and then service the pedestrian demand,
before the vehicle green max. timer has timed out. In this instance, a
“gap change” all-red period alterable between 1 and 3 seconds, is
inserted between the vehicle and pedestrian greens.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-1 Issue 10

(c) Pre-timed Maximum vehicle green
If this mode is selected, the controller will start the max. vehicle green
timer as soon as vehicle green is gained, instead of waiting for an
opposing/pedestrian demand. If no pedestrian demand occurs before
the max timer expires the controller will rest in vehicle green until a
pedestrian demand is inserted which it will then service immediately by
completing a “max change” to pedestrian green, even if a vehicle is
inserting a continuous extension. If a pedestrian demand is inserted
before this max. timer has expired there can still be a gap change if
there are no vehicle extensions present.
4.2 PELICAN/PEDESTRIAN TIMINGS
The minimum green, maximum green and vehicle extension timings for a
pelican are alterable via the handset within ranges approved in MCE0125
and MCE0145. These are different to those for MCE0141 vehicle phases and
thus they are accessed by different handset commands.
There are other alterable timings for the all-red time from vehicle green to
ped. green in UTC and Local Link modes following the removal of PV and
PV1 respectively. If both of these signals occur simultaneously then the UTC
signal PV always overrides the Local Link signal.
If SDE/SA is selected (via the handset) and fitted on the controller then all of
the vehicle green to pedestrian green all-red times are fixed at three seconds.
If there has been a DFM failure on the controller then a maximum all-red time
is included in the change from vehicle green to pedestrian green for safety
reasons.
If the Vehicle Detector Checking facility has been enabled and there has
been no activity on one or more of the vehicle extension during the vehicle
green period, then a maximum all-red time is included in the change from
vehicle green to pedestrian green for safety reasons.
4.2.1 Puffin Sequence Timings
The Puffin controller sequence is similar to an intersection pedestrian, since

there are no flashing aspects. However, the blackout period of the
intersection pedestrian is replaced with an extendable clearance period,
during which red is displayed to traffic and pedestrians. This clearance period
is extendable up to a maximum by detecting pedestrians on the crossing.
Pedestrians are also detected as they wait to cross, by means of a kerbside

detector. If after a demand has been registered no-one is still waiting, the
pedestrian demand is cancelled.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-2 Issue 10

The Puffin operates in conjunction with Red lamp monitoring, SDE/SA, UTC,
CLF etc. in the same manner as the Pelican.
The Puffin Extendable Clearance Period
The clearance on the change from pedestrian green to vehicle green and is
composed of:-
• a configured minimum red period, followed by
• a variable red period (extendable by ‘on-crossing’ detectors up to a
configured maximum), followed by
• a clearance red period (this is the ‘long’ clearance period if the
variable red has been extended up to its maximum otherwise the
‘short’ clearance period is used).
4.3 MANUAL PANEL FACILITIES
When the T400 is used as a pedestrian controller the Manual Panel is

usually equipped as a ‘basic manual panel’ providing only cabinet alarm
together with a signals on/off switch (see Figure 6.3.5.4).
If specifically requested then a full pedestrian manual panel may be provided

which duplicates a few of the facilities which are provided via the handset
(see section 5) onto pushbuttons.
A brief description of the full pedestrian manual facilities are described in the
following sections. For a ‘basic panel’ these facilities are available via the
controller handset (see section 5).
4.3.1 Select VA/FVP
The mode on the pelican/pedestrian controller may be selected between FVP

and VA. However the Select VA function is only actioned if VA mode has
been enabled via the handset. The associated LED reflects the position of
the pushbutton only and this is not necessarily the mode that is currently
running.
4.3.2 Continuous Ped. Demand
When this button is pushed, the associated LED is illuminated and a

permanent demand is inserted for the pedestrian phase of that pelican
stream.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-3 Issue 10

4.3.3 Continuous Vehicle Extension
When this button is pushed, the associated LED is illuminated and the
vehicle extension timers are continually reset so that in VA mode the vehicle
phase always runs to a max. When this switch is released, the extension
timer running continues to time out and after it has expired, the pelican
stream reverts to normal operation.
4.3.4 DFM Reset
This button is used to reset the DFM lamp and only has that effect if all faulty
detectors/pedestrian pushbuttons have changed state since the fault was
registered.
4.3.5 Auxiliary LEDs (AUX1, AUX2, AUX3) and Switches (SW1, SW2, SW3)
There are two functions available which may be assigned to any of these
three switches and LEDs. The requirements in terms of switches and LEDs
for these two functions are given below:
Remote Reconnect : Both a switch and LED are required.

Computer Control LED : LED alone is required.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-4 Issue 10

4.4 HANDSET
On street selection of pelican facilities by the handset can be carried out. A

list of the pelican handset commands is given in section 5. The following
settings can be altered on the pelican controller :-
4.4.1 Timings
Handset commands are provided to control the pelican timing steps

separately from the intersection timings.
Use of the intersection timing commands (e.g. MIN, MAX, EXT, IGN, IGS etc.)
have no effect on the pelican timings.
Local linking times for link delay, link window, override and link fail times are
also alterable on the handset.
4.4.2 Speed Discrimination (SDE/SA)
No SDE/SA operation, Double or Triple SDE or SA operation and the number

of speed assessor units required for the Pelican/Pedestrian may be selected
via the handset.
Both of the standard PROMs have capability for SDE/SA facilities but only for
the DTp standard loop spacing of 12ft. If a non standard loop spacing is
required then a non standard configuration PROM will be required.
4.4.3 Manual Facilities
When a controller is equipped with a ‘basic manual panel’, handset

commands are provided to support the selection and display facilities which
were provided on the old style ‘full manual panel’ (see section 5 for details).
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-5 Issue 10

4.5 I/O LINE ALLOCATION
Each of the following functions may be allocated to an IO line :-
Input functions
UTC ped. inhibit PV
UTC ped. demand PX
UTC take over TO (enable SC, PV, PX)
UTC switch to FVP working
UTC switch to alternative timings
UTC Dim Override / remote dim control DO
UTC vehicle extensions inhibit SC
local link disable LL
local link ped. inhibit PV1
local link ped. demand LD
call/cancel ped. demand CC
3 vehicle extension detectors
4 push button ped. demand
2 Kerbside detectors (Puffin Only)
4 ‘On crossing’ detectors (Puffin Only)
Output functions
* UTC vehicle green confirm GX
* UTC wait indicator confirm WT
* UTC ped. green confirm PG
DFM fail confirm DF
UTC signals off confirm SO
local link disable confirm LL
UTC bright confirm
remote reconnect RR (active state = disconnect)
link out (vehicle green confirm)
link out (bright confirm)
Kerbside detector test signal (Puffin Only)
A description of each of these I/O functions is given in section 4.10.
* - These output signals must be allocated to normally closed (N/C) contacts.
The first two bits of the CPU output port (port 11) are N/C contacts. The first
two bits of each output port on the I/O expansion board are defaulted to the
N/O state. However each of these output bits are connected to relays with
changeover contacts. Hence they may be wired to give N/C operation. All
other output bits operate in the N/O state.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-6 Issue 10

In addition it is possible to :-
(a) enable/disable DFM on each input (DFS) and define the group (DGP)
(b) define the action taken when DFM detects a fault (DFA) as:-
- continue to use input as before
- override input state to active
- override input state to inactive
(c) invert the sense of particular inputs (IPS)
(d) define number of red lamp monitor channels used on each pelican
traffic phase (RLM)
4.6 WAIT INDICATORS
This facility allows the user to select (via the handset using the WTI
command) whether the wait indicator is illuminated by any of the following
demands:
- Pushbutton ped demands

- UTC ped demands
- Manual Panel Ped demands
- Local Link ped demands
- Handset ped demands
4.7 AUDIO CONTROL AND MONITOR
An output activates the audio unit during the ped steady green time. An input
monitors the drive voltage to the audio unit and a check is made that the
monitored state corresponds with the requested state. Repeated failure of the
check causes the lamps to be turned off within 500mS (from the point at
which the first occurrence of the fault was detected) and an entry made in the
fault log. Since the audio drive is derived from the ped green supply, turning
the signals off removes the audio drive.
4.8 GREEN CONFLICT FAULT ACTION
On detection of a green conflict (as indicated by monitoring the output of the

green conflict PROM) the controller turns all the controller lamps and audio
indicators off. The lamps will remain off until manually reset (RFL=1), using
the handset, turning the power off and then restoring the power.
4.9 RED LAMP MONITORING
The current through the vehicle red lamps is monitored to check that there is
at least one vehicle red lamp showing while there is a steady green signal
showing to pedestrians. If a fault occurs, the controller turns all the signals
and the audio indicators off. The lamps will remain off until manually reset
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-7 Issue 10

(RFL=1), using the handset, turning the power off and then restoring the
power.
4.10 DESCRIPTION OF I/O LINE FUNCTIONS
4.10.1 UTC Facilities
• UTC Ped. Inhibit (PV)
This input signal prevents the pedestrian phase on a pelican. When

PV is released, vehicle extensions will be inhibited for a period
specified via the handset. Even if PV is re-applied during this period it
will have no effect.
• UTC Ped. Demand (PX)
This input signal puts in a request for the pedestrian stage of a

pelican.
• Vehicle Extensions Inhibit (SC)
This input signal forces the controller to ignore all vehicle extension
requests. To ensure safety of operation, the vehicle to ped. change
becomes a UTC. all-red change rather than a gap change. The UTC
all-red change time is alterable via the handset.
• UTC Transmission Confirm (TC) or Takeover Control (TO)
The TC signal, if allocated to an IO line, is received at the controller

from the OTU if valid data has been received by the OTU. The TO
signal is very similar in effect except that it is transmitted from the UTC
Central Office and not from the OTU and it too signifies that valid data
is being sent by the UTC Central Office. The presence of either of
these signals disables the Local Link facility.
• Computer Control LED on the Manual Panel
The rules governing the illumination of this LED are as follows:

(1) If the TC/TO function has not been assigned to an IO Line then
the presence of PV alone lights this LED.
(2) If TO has been assigned to an IO line then the LED is only
illuminated when TO is present in conjunction with PV.
(3) If TC has been assigned to an IO line and selected to control the
LED, then the presence of this TC signal alone lights the LED.
(4) If TC has been assigned to an IO line and selected not to control
the LED, then the LED is illuminated only when both PV and TC
are present (as in case 2).
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-8 Issue 10

• Switch to FVP mode
This input disables Pelican VA mode and thus forces the controller to
run in FVP mode. This signal only has an effect when the Pelican is
running VA mode. VA mode is active under the following conditions :
(a) VA operation is selected via the handset.

AND
(b) VA mode is activated using the VA switch on the manual panel.
• Switch to Alternative Timings
This input signal forces the Pelican to switch to the first alternative set
of timings.
• UTC Dim Override (DO)/Local Link Dim Request
One of these two types of remote dimming can be selected via the
handset for the pelican/pedestrian. The main difference between the
two types is:
a) the UTC input signal overrides any request for the controller to
be in the dim state provided by the solar cell output and thus
provides a “Bright Request” signal.
b) the Local Link Dim Request signal is required for a slave pelican
controller in a linked dimming situation and provides a “Dim
Request” signal. This means that a master controller which has a
solar cell controlling its dimming facility may be able to pass on
its dim/bright state to another (slave) controller without a solar
cell.
• Local Link Disable (LL)
The effect of this input signal is to disable the Local Link Pedestrian
Inhibit facility (PV1) which is detailed in
• Vehicle Green Confirm (GX)
This output signal indicates that the vehicle phase is showing green on
the street. This output signal must always be assigned to a Normally
Closed relay so that it fails to the inactive (closed contact) state.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-9 Issue 10

• Wait Indicator Confirm (WT)
This output signal indicates that the Wait indicator for the pedestrian
phase is illuminated on the street. This output signal must always be
assigned to a Normally Closed relay so that it fails to the inactive
(closed contact) state.
• Pedestrian Green Confirm (PG)
This output signal indicates that the pedestrian phase is showing

green on the street. This output signal must always be assigned to a
Normally Closed relay so that it fails to the inactive (closed contact)
state.
• DFM Fail Confirm (DF)
This output signal indicates when the DFM lamp has been illuminated.
This output signal should be assigned to a Normally Open relay so
that it fails to the active (open contact) state.
• Signals Off Confirm (SO)
This output signal indicates that the signals on the CPU

pelican/pedestrian are off for whatever reason i.e. Signals switched off
from the Manual Panel, Red Lamp Monitor failure, Conflict detected
etc. This output signal should be assigned to a Normally Open relay so
that it fails to the active (open contact) state.
• Local Link Disable Confirm (LL)
This output signal indicate that the local link facility on the controller
has been disabled, for whatever reason i.e. Local Link disable switch
on Manual Panel active, UTC local link disable control bit active,
timeswitch function etc.
• UTC Bright Confirm
This output signal indicates that the signals on the controller are in the
bright state, for whatever reason i.e. daytime operation, dim override
switch on Manual Panel active, UTC dim override control bit active etc.
• Remote Reconnect (RR)
This reply bit is generated when the Remote Reconnect Switch on the
Manual Panel when fitted/configured is activated (indicated by the
illumination of the associated LED). This switch indicates to the UTC
central office that the controller is ready to resume under UTC control.

4.10.2 Local Link Facilities
• Local Link Ped Inhibit (PV1)
While this signal is active, it prevents the appearance of the ped.

phase irrespective of demands, subject to the effect of the Override
timer described below. A delay time can be set via the handset so that
there is this delay between the PV1 signal being released and the
Inhibit on the controller being lifted. After this, a Window time which is
also alterable via the handset, can come into effect. This is the time
after the Inhibit has been lifted during which the controller ignores
vehicle extension detectors and looks for a pedestrian demand to
service, even if PV1 has been reapplied during this time. If the window
timer expires and PV1 has not been reapplied the controller reverts to
its normal (FVP or VA) working mode.
If PV1 is active the Override timer will start to time if it has been set to
a non-zero value via the handset and normally at the start of the
vehicle phase green. This override timer can optionally be selected
(via the handset) to commence timing only if a pedestrian demand is
present while the vehicle phase is at green. This timer is reset when
the PV1 signal goes inactive. If it times out one of two actions may be
taken, depending on handset selection :
(i) it will ignore the PV1 signal and revert to normal unlinked
operation and only recognise the PV1 signal again if it is now
released and re-applied.
(ii) it can operate in self resetting mode i.e. once the override timer
expires it reloads itself, introduces the Link Delay and Link
Window times and commences re-timing when either the
Window time expires or the controller returns to vehicle green
as a result of serving a Pedestrian demand during the Window
period. If PV1 is released and reapplied normal linked operation
resumes.
The Override timer is usually used only for MCE0125 pelicans and its
use is determined by checking for a non-zero timing value. There is
another watchdog mechanism used for MCE0145 pedestrian
controllers which checks that the link is not permanently operated nor
permanently released. This mechanism will be used if there is a non-
zero timing value for the Link Failure Active/Inactive times (LKA/LKI).
Timeout of either of these signifies “link failure” which causes the
following actions:
Inhibit the appearance of the Pedestrian Phase.

Light the Wait Indicator
Light the Cabinet Alarm Lamp
Set a Fault Log Flag
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-11 Issue 10

After a “link failure”, manual intervention is required to reset the fault

log before the controller can resume normal operation.
In certain circumstances e.g. light traffic flow, the intersection

controller will be unable to generate link inhibit release pulses often
enough to prevent the timeout of a Fail timer and in these cases a
pulse generator is required in the main controller to signify that the link
is good. The pulse generator must ensure that the link inhibit is
released and reapplied periodically to reset both the FAIL ACTIVE and
FAIL INACTIVE link fail timers. To ensure that this pulse generator
does not cause the link inhibit signal to be released erroneously
certain timing restrictions are imposed on the pulses and signals:
20ms < Inhibit release pulse <= 300ms

Inhibit Release signal >= 340ms
This means that if the signal on this line is released for less than
300ms and then reapplied the only effect will be to reset the Link Fail
Active and Inactive timers. If the signal is released for more than
340ms and then reapplied, then the effect will be to reset the Link Fail
Active and Inactive timers and to start the Link Delay timer.
• Local Link Dim Request
This input signal is treated in the same manner as UTC Dim Override
(DO) and is described in section 4.10.1.
• Local Link Ped. Demand (LD)
This input signal puts in a remote pedestrian demand.
• Link Out (Vehicle green confirm)
This output signal is essentially a Vehicle Green Confirm signal and

can be used to provide a Ped. Inhibit (PV1) to another pelican usually
in a staggered link situation. The effect then is to inhibit the ped. of the
other pelican while it itself is not in the vehicle green period.
NOTE that this does not take account of any race condition between
two controllers that are linked together and as such if the pushbuttons
of the two controllers are pressed simultaneously there is a possibility
that both pelicans could go to green at the same time and so true dual
pelican operation cannot be achieved in this manner. In order to
overcome this problem a T400 dual pelican must be used.
• Link Out (Dim Request)
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-12 Issue 10

This signal is used by the master controller in a linked dimming

situation, where it is usually used to pass on the dim/bright state of the
master to the slave pelican controller.
4.10.3 Call/Cancel Function
• Call/Cancel Ped. Demand (CC)
This input signal acts as a normal call/cancel demand, in that a

demand must be present for a certain period (call time) before the
demand is accepted. Similarly if the demand disappears before the
controller has satisfied it, then it must permanently disappear for a
certain period (cancel time) before the controller will cancel the
demand. The effect of the input is to put in a demand for the
pedestrian phase.
4.10.4 Puffin I/O Facilities
• Push Button and Kerbside Detector Inputs
Two push button inputs are available on each Puffin stream. In

addition, each Puffin stream has two kerbside detector inputs which
indicate when there are pedestrians waiting to cross.
Each input from push button or kerbside detector is held active in the
controller for a configurable hold time (after the input has gone
inactive).
The pedestrian demand is only registered if the following conditions

are met:-
a) a push button is being pressed or hold period active
AND b) a pedestrian is being detected by the kerbside detector or the

kerbside hold period is active.
The pedestrian demand is cancelled and the wait indicator turned off
if all kerbside detectors indicate no pedestrians present for a
configured detector timeout period.
NOTE: Pedestrian demands from UTC or local link operate as on

the Pelican controller i.e. the demand does not require the
kerbside detector to be active in order to be registered and
the demand is latched - not cleared when the kerbside
timeout period expires.
• Kerbside Detector Test Output
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-13 Issue 10

One test output is provided for each Puffin stream. This output should
be wired to connect +24V through the ‘normally open’ relay contacts to
the detector test input on surface mounted kerbside detectors.
While there is no pedestrian demand registered, each detector is

tested at 10 second intervals. Note that the kerbside detector is tested
during the pedestrian push button hold time, providing that no demand
is registered.
The test output is driven with a 400mS pulse by the controller and a
check is made for a detector response pulse. A missing or late
response forces the detector active (within the controller) and an entry
is made in the fault log. A subsequent correct response from the
detector removes the force condition.
Detector testing is required with surface mounted detectors, but not

with ‘above ground’ detectors. Detector testing is enabled by default.
Testing can be disabled by de-allocating the corresponding detector
test output.
NOTE: The test sequence results in a pulse appearing on the

kerbside detector output. This will be treated as a normal
pedestrian presence, activating the kerbside hold and
timeout periods.
• ‘On-crossing’ Detector Inputs
Up to 4 inputs are available on each Puffin stream. The ‘on-crossing’

detector indicates when there are pedestrians moving on the crossing
and is used to extend the variable clearance period on the move from
pedestrian green to vehicle green.
Any configured ‘on-crossing’ detector remaining inactive during a cycle

is assumed faulty and forces the following variable clearance period to
be extended up to it’s maximum. An entry is also made in the fault log.
If the detector subsequently operates correctly, then the force is

removed and normal operation resumed.
4.11 TIMESWITCH FACILITIES
• Switch Audio off
This facility allows the pelican ped. audio signal to be turned off on a
time of day basis.
• Alternative Max. sets
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-14 Issue 10

There are four time sets available for each of the modes. I.e. Pelican
VA and FVP, which may be selected on a time of day basis. The
selection of these timesets is required to have a lower priority than the
UTC ‘Switch to Alternate Times’ signal (described in section 4.10.1).
As a result of this requirement the time switch settings will only be
effective if the UTC ‘Switch to Alternate Times’ signal is not active.
• Switch to FVP mode
This facility disables Pelican VA mode and thus introduces FVP mode
on the pelican/pedestrian controller on a time of day basis.
4.12 CLF FACILITIES
The only effect of CLF on a pelican controller is to provide a ped. inhibit

signal. There is a corresponding group influence to cancel this ped inhibit
influence i.e. an “Allow Ped” influence which is used to provide a ped window.
This CLF inhibit signal inhibits the Pedestrian phase for as long as this input
is active provided that there is an Allow Ped influence somewhere in the
same group. If there is no Allow Ped influence within the same group then the
CLF input has no effect.
4.13 CROSS-INHIBIT LINKING
On multi-stream Pelican controllers there are some situations when it is

desirable to prevent the pedestrian phases from running concurrently (e.g.
when two pedestrian crossings are positioned on the road where a central
island is provided). This inhibit facility can be introduced by handset
command (LKM) (see section 5 for details).
667/HB/20200/000 Page 4-15 Issue 10

5. HANDSET COMMANDS
Access to the T400 timings and status information is gained by entering

commands on an approved handset and interpreting the response on the
display. The pages following give an example of the types of handset codes
that can be used.
The document “Handset Command List” 667/HH/20200/000 gives up to date

information on handset operation and codes. This should be used when
operating the handset.

6.3.7 Power System
Refer to drawing 667/DA/20200/etc.
The incoming mains supply is terminated at the Electricity Board cutout then
feeds to the Master Switch and fuse which isolates everything in the cabinet.
As an option a varistor can be fitted on the incoming line to protect the

controller against high voltage surges such as induced voltages produced by
nearby lightning strikes.
A fused supply feed is taken to the Maintenance Socket via an RCD. The
controller switch and fuse follow in series with the RCD, thus allowing the
mains supply to the controller to be removed whilst leaving power at the
maintenance socket.
The controller switch supplies the logic power unit and any additional
detector power unit. The lamp supply passes through a 20amp filter, solid
state relay, the dimming transformer, the dim/bright relay, the two signals
ON/OFF relays and finally the phase drivers.
The dimming transformer is an auto transformer with input tappings 200, 210,
220, 230, 240 & 250 volts a.c and output tappings 120, 140 & 160 volts a.c.
to lower to the mains voltage, to the signal lamps at night.
The solid state relay, through which the mains supply voltage to the dimming
transformer is taken, provides a noise free method of disconnecting the mains
supply from this circuit, whilst the necessary contactors are switched in or
out, during power up or a dim-bright change.
The logic supplies are derived from a switched mode power unit operated
from the mains supply. This unit has high stability and is very tolerant of
mains fluctuations. The power unit provides rail voltages of +5V, +12V, -12V
and +24v.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 6-22 Issue 10

6.3.8 LED Indicators
The functions of the various indicators on the logic rack boards are as
follows:-
• Main Processor
LED 1 - System Error (Red) - Illuminates when a fault condition is

registered in the controller Fault log.
LED 2 - Watchdog Fail (Red) - Illuminates when processor fails to
perform normal processing sequence.
LED 3 - Power On (Green) - Illuminates to show power supplies to the
card.
• Phase Drives
RED, AMBER and GREENs - Illuminate to indicate state of Phase.
6.3.9 Handsets
The majority of timing data held in the T400 is accessible and changeable
using one of the handsets described below plugged into the RS232 port on
the main Processor board.

6.4 EXPANDED DESCRIPTIONS OF T400 PCBS
The following are descriptions of the facilities and functions found on each
PCB in the T400.
6.4.1 Main Processor P.C.B (667/1/20221/000)
The main processor board controls and monitors the functioning of traffic
controllers and pedestrian controllers. The processor is built around an
80188 (CMOS or NMOS) microprocessor, an enhanced version of the 8088
used in the Type 200 controller. This device incorporates the clock generator,
the interrupt controller, three timer/counters, various chip select outputs, and
a wait state generator, all housed in a 68 pin PLCC package.
The peripheral chip select signals generated by the 80C188 are used to
select the on-board peripheral devices. These peripherals are:- a RTC with
its own crystal and supported by the on-board battery during power down,
this provides all the time and date information required by the processor; a
phase driver interface capable of driving four phase driver boards, a total of
forty-eight outputs; local I/O interface with eight outputs and sixteen inputs, a
manual panel; the terminal port with RS232 output signal levels; a watchdog
timer facility; and the green/green conflict monitor.
The main processor board controls and monitors the many processes
required for correct operation of a T400 controller whether used as a traffic
controller or a pedestrian controller. The main processor board controls:
• the lamp mains supply switching and dimming

• the traffic signal phase drivers
• four general purpose relay isolated outputs
• serial data on the handset port
• illumination of the LED’s on the manual panel
• devices on the extended system bus
The main processor board monitors:
• green/green conflicts both using software and dedicated hardware

• the mains zero-crossing point
• the phase driver lamp supply present outputs
• the general daylight illumination to control lamp dimming
• the manual panel switches
• the handset port UART
• the time and date using a dedicated RTC chip
• sixteen general purpose inputs
• the extended system bus for any peripheral board activity.

6.4.2 4 Phase Driver PCB (667/1/20223/000)
The 4-Phase Driver Board acts as an interface between the Main Processor
Board and the Mains derived interfaces, all signals to and from the Main
Processor being electrically isolated from any Mains connections.
The Board is an extended 6U Eurocard with 2 Harting type connectors at the

rear (Mains interface) and an IDC Transition Header with 400mm Ribbon
Cable terminated with a 34 way IDC Socket at the front (Logic interface).
The earthed safety cover, on the component side of the Board, also acts as a
Heatsink for the Triacs.
The interface between the Main Processor Board and the Mains signals are
as follows:-
Twelve inputs from the Main Processor Board. These logic level signals
control the Mains supply to the Signal Lamps. i.e. Red, Amber and Green for
four Phases.
Eleven outputs from the Board, all to the Main Processor Board. These are:-
ZXO.
Lamp Supply Monitor.
Dim Request.
4 off +ve Green Monitors.
4 off -ve Green Monitors.
Electrical connections to the Processor Board are made via a 34 way IDC
connector. To ensure that, when more than one Phase Driver Board is fitted,
the IDC connectors are inserted only in the correct position on the Main
Processor Board, a Daisychain connection method is used.
6.4.3 2 Phase Driver PCB (667/1/20225/000)
The 2-Phase Driver Board with Red Lamp Monitor acts as an interface
between the Main Processor Board and the Mains derived interfaces, all
signals to and from the Main Processor being electrically isolated from any
Mains connections.
The Board is an extended 6U Eurocard with 2 Harting type connectors at the

rear (Mains interface) and an IDC Transition Header with 400mm Ribbon
Cable terminated with a 34 way IDC Socket at the front (Logic interface).
This Board is to be used with the T400 Pedestrian Controller since the
monitoring of the Vehicle Red Lamps of a Pedestrian Crossing is a
requirement in MCE0125 and MCE0145.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 6-26 Issue 10

The Vehicle Phase Red Signal Lamps are fed from the Vehicle Red Driver,
via Resistors. The potential difference across each Resistor is monitored to
ascertain the state of the Lamps.
The Audible Signal from the Driver is controlled by the Main Processor. The
voltage fed to the Audible Signal Driver is checked against a threshold and
the result is output to the Main Processor.
The Lamp Drivers, Green Voltage Detect, ZXO, and Dim Request Monitors
are identical to those used on the T400 4-Phase Driver Board
667/1/20223/000.
The earthed safety cover, on the component side of the Board, also acts as a
Heatsink for the Triacs.
The interface between the Main Processor Board and the Mains signals are
as follows:-
Seven inputs from the Main Processor Board. Six of these logic level signals
control the Mains supply to the Signal Lamps. i.e. Red, Amber and Green for
two Phases, and the seventh controls the Audible Signal.
Eleven outputs from the Board, all to the Main Processor Board. These are:-
ZXO.
Lamp Supply Monitor.
Dim Request.
2 off +ve Green Monitors.
2 off -ve Green Monitors.
4 off Red Lamp Monitor Outputs.
1 off Audible Signal Monitor. (Multiplexed with R L Monitor 1).
Electrical connections to the Processor Board are made via a 34 way IDC
connector. To ensure that, when more than one Phase Driver Board is fitted,
the IDC connectors are inserted only in the correct position on the Main
Processor Board, a Daisychain connection method is used.
6.4.4 Manual Panel P.C.B (667/1/20227/000)
The Manual Panel consists of a custom membrane type keyboard with LED
indicators and a toggle action style signals on/off switch.
The Manual Panel interface to the Main Processor Board is a 34-way IDC
plug.
The LEDs are driven via series resistors from driver ICs on the Main
Processor board. The switch matrix is scanned in rows and columns to save
on the number of connections.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 6-27 Issue 10

The membrane switches are all debounced in software to protect against

unintentional operation. Because of this, it is necessary to hold down a
desired key for about half a second to ensure recognition by the software.
6.4.5 Expansion I/O PCB (667/1/20229/000)
The Expansion I/O board provides the type 400 controller with an additional
sixteen buffered inputs, and sixteen relay isolated outputs. Up to three of
these boards may be used in a system so address decoding is provided to
identify each board by means of a BCD switch, and the setting of the switch is
visible on the front edge of the board, to guard against boards being set up
with the same address in a system.
The sixteen buffered inputs use comparators with protection against induced
voltages and direct application of mains voltages. The input to the buffer is
normally held high by a pull-up resistor.
The sixteen relay buffered outputs are clean contacts which are normally
open. Changeover relays are used to give some normally-closed outputs, and
provision is made for 22Ω contact protection resistors on some outputs in
addition to the normal 180Ω contact protection resistors.
On power up or Reset all the output relays go to the inactive state.
Sixteen buffered inputs and sixteen relay buffered outputs are available.
Each of these signal lines can isolate an inadvertent application of mains
voltage from the rest of the system even if it results in damage to the circuit
associated with that particular signal line.
The inputs are capable of meeting the requirements of MCE 0141, MCE
0125, and MCE 0145, and can reject induced mains voltages caused by
capacitive coupling between signal cables and adjacent mains cables.
There are sixteen relay isolated outputs, which are normally open with 180Ω
contact protection resistors. Four of these outputs are configurable; the
standard output is a normally open relay contact using a 180Ω contact
protection resistor, the two required alternatives are:- a) a normally closed
contact using a 180Ω contact protection resistor, and b) a normally open
contact able to switch higher currents than the standard output and with a
22Ω contact protection resistor.
The selection between the different output configurations is achieved by

using different pins in the output connector rather than any links on the
board. A standard cable is used with a Berg type socket with individually
crimped wires which select the standard normally open contact with the 180Ω
protection resistor. By moving the contacts in the header using the
appropriate tool the alternative output configurations can be provided.

This board includes an identification byte which specifies this board as an

Expansion I/O board.
6.4.6 Expansion I/O PCB (667/1/20229/001)
The Expansion I/O board provides the type 400 controller with an additional
sixteen buffered inputs, and sixteen relay isolated outputs. Up to three of
these boards may be used in a system so address decoding is provided to
identify each board by means of a BCD switch, and the setting of the switch is
visible on the front edge of the board, to guard against boards being set up
with the same address in a system.
The sixteen buffered inputs use comparators with protection against induced
voltages and direct application of mains voltages. The input to the buffer is
normally held high by a pull-up resistor.
The sixteen relay buffered outputs are clean contacts which are normally
open. Changeover relays in two positions of each group of eight outputs give
the option of selecting some normally-closed outputs. 68Ω contact protection
resistors are used on all outputs.
On power up and whenever the RESET or Watchdog flag lines are active all
the output relays go to the output state.
Sixteen buffered inputs and sixteen relay buffered outputs are available.
Each of these signal lines can isolate an inadvertent application of mains
voltage from the rest of the system even if it results in damage to the circuit
associated with that particular signal line.
The inputs are capable of meeting the requirements of MCE 0141, MCE
0125, and MCE 0145, and can reject induced mains voltages caused by
capacitive coupling between signal cables and adjacent mains cables.
There are sixteen relay isolated outputs, which are normally open with 68Ω
contact protection resistors. Four of these outputs must be configurable; the
standard output is a normally open relay contact, the required alternative is a
normally closed contact.
The selection between the different output configurations is achieved by

using different pins in the output connector rather than any links on the
board. A standard cable is used with a Berg type socket with individually
crimped wires which select the standard normally open contact with the 68Ω
protection resistor. By moving the contacts in the header using the
appropriate tool the alternative output configuration can be provided.
This board includes an identification byte which specifies this board as an

Expansion I/O board.

6.4.7 SDE/SA P.C.B (667/1/20231/000)
The SDE/SA processor card is built around an 80C85 microprocessor, a

CMOS version of the 8085 used on the T400 SDE/SA board. The design is
much the same as that used for the T400 although CMOS and HCMOS
components are used throughout to reduce the power consumption
substantially.
The maximum number of inputs is 32 which allows a maximum of 16

assessors since two loops are required per assessor. All of these inputs are
buffered. Unused SDE/SA assessors may be used as ordinary detector inputs
to the controller.
Communication with the main processor is achieved by the use of a Shared

RAM area which is located on the SDE/SA board. The main processor reads
and writes to this area via the Extended System Bus.
Power for the SDE/SA board is derived from the T400 main power supply.
The 5V DC supply comes on board via the Extended System Bus Cable while
the 24V DC supply is accessed via the detector input cable.
Soundmark type test facilities are provided by using an on board jack socket
and a thumbwheel switch to dial up any detector pair.
The board is able to run existing T400 SDE/SA software with a few slight
alterations reflecting hardware configuration changes.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 6-30 Issue 10

6.4.8 Ancillary Processor P.C.B (667/1/21611/000)
The Ancillary Processor is a double extended Euro sized PCB which

connects to the T400 Main Processor via the Extended System Bus.
Configuration information for the Ancillary Processor comes from the
Configuration PROM on the T400 Main Processor PCB. Handset access to
the Ancillary Processor is via the handset socket on the Main Processor
board.
6.4.8.1 Functional Applications
• Integral Red Lamp Monitor

• Integral TC12 OTU

7. GUIDE TO T400 SPECIFICATION FORMS
7.1 GENERAL
This guide is to assist Traffic Engineers in the completion of the Siemens

T400 Controller Specification Forms (667/DJ/15900), to enable Siemens to
submit quotations and supply traffic control equipment which provides the
desired performance. Where necessary refer to the facilities handbook
667/EB/20200 to assist in the understanding of the information to be given on
the forms.
The various pages of the forms are numbered in Roman numerals. Only
those forms required for a particular installation need to be completed, the
sheets are then numbered as required.
A set of blank specification forms is contained in Appendix A.
Some customers are able to configure their own controller EPROM’s. In order
to assist in the understanding of the configuration procedure, reference
should be made to the Intersection Configurator 003 user’s handbook
(667/HD/15900/000).

7.3 FILLING OUT THE FORMS
Form I - Front Sheet
Every controller specification should begin with a ‘Front Sheet’ form.

This should be completed as far as possible, noting any standard
Regional or Local Authority Specification and quotation/order
numbers.
Form II - Basic Site Data
This form should show the basic phase movements for each stage. If
Parallel Stage streaming is used then the stream No, should be
indicated. One form could show 2 streams as long as they were kept
apart i.e. 1st stream using Top 4 boxes and 2nd stream using Bottom 4
boxes, but they would have to be clearly identified. Otherwise use 1
form per stream. The stages in the streams should be numbered
consecutively.
This form should also be used to indicate which stages correspond to
start-up and to All Red.
Form III - Use Of Phases
An entry should be made for each phase required (including

dummies).
(a) Condition of Phase Appearance

There are 4 types (0 - 3) for the conditions for which a phase can
appear.
Type 0 - Phase always appears

The phase will always appear during its nominated stage(s).
This is the normal phase condition.
Type 1 - Phase appears only if demand exists at start of inter-

stage
Under this type the phase will only appear if a demand exists for
it at the beginning of amber leaving of the previous stage.
Typical use simple parallel pedestrian phase dependent on
pushbutton.
Type 2 - Phase appears only if demand exists during the stage

or preceding inter-stage
Demand dependent phase which can appear at any time during
the stage if it is demanded. Typical use is filter green arrow.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-3 Issue 10

Type 3 - Phase appears if demanded at any time during the

stage up until the window time expires
The demand for a phase of this type can be inhibited by the
output of a special timer (‘Window-Time’) which is started when
the first phase max time is started.
A typical use of this type is for a demand dependent pedestrian
phase which does not want to prolong the stage maximum when
an opposing demand has been requested.
(b) Conditions of Phase Termination

The Type 400 Controller provides 3 types (0 - 2) for the termination of
a phase.
Type 0 Terminates at end of stage

This is the standard termination type - the phase showing
amber leaving, blackout, flashing green as required.
Type 1 - Terminates when associated phase gains Right of Way

This type is normally used for left turn filter arrows.
Type 2 - Terminates when associated phase loses Right of Way

This type is normally used for right turn indicative arrows.
(c) Type of Phase

Enter a tick in the required column.
(d) Conflicting Phase Combinations

Enter a ‘C’ for all conflicting phase combinations.
(e) Phase Timings

Enter required timings.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-4 Issue 10

Form IV - Phase Intergreens
This form has four sections.
(a) Basic Phase Intergreens

An intergreen time (in seconds) should be entered for every conflicting
phase.
(b) Additional Phase Delays

This part of the form is used to detail any additional delay periods that
may be required for particular phases.
(c) Starting Intergreen Period

This is the initial intergreen time period that is provided when the
controller is first switched on.
The time entered must not include the Amber period leaving time (3
secs) of the phases that show RED in STAGE 1.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-5 Issue 10

Form V - Use Of Stages
This form describes the basic stage structure of the controller and
comprises four sections.
(a) Active Phases in each Stage

A ‘tick’ should be inserted in each box to define what the phase/stage
relationship is. Use a second Form if more than 7 stages are required
re-numbering the stages on the second sheet from 8 to 15.
The related stream number, and window time if required should be

indicated.
All dummy and demand dependent phases should be included.
The bottom line of this section (Max Revertive Demand Phase) should
be filled in if, a demand for a different phase is required if this Phase is
terminated with an extension timer active.
Note:- For parallel Stage Streaming each stream should have its own
all red stage, if the all red condition is required.
(b) Fixed Cycle Time Requirements

A. Define Fixed cycle time mode. Use additional sheets for each
stream. The fixed time cyclic order of stages should be defined
together with the stage time in seconds. One of the
stages should be the Start-up stage.
OR
B. Fixed cycle running to current Max. Tick the box for this mode
and tick any phase which is demand dependent. Note all other
phases will always appear and vehicle phases will run to max.
(c) Arterial Reversion for each Stream

Insert the stage number(s) or Phase letter(s) if this facility is required.
(d) Manual Selection

Complete this section if Manual Stage control is required by indicating
which stage(s) are to be associated with each button required. 8 push-
buttons are available, button 0 being allocated to All Red.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-6 Issue 10

Form VI/VII - Prohibited and Alternative Stage Movements
Use this form to describe the permissible stage to stage movements

for the various modes of operation.
For each mode of operation an appropriate movement table should be

completed or if modes movement tables are identical indicate which
modes each table applies to.
In CLF mode due care must be taken to ensure that controller does not
run stages for too long during plan changes particularly short filter
stages or pedestrian stages. Prohibited moves should not be
programmed. They should be changed to alternative moves. More than
one mode can apply to one sheet.
Form VIII - Detector and Push Button Inputs
After defining the detector location, ticks should be inserted in the

appropriate boxes to define the detector or push button requirements.
Phase letter to be inserted for the demand and extension.
Call/Cancel delay periods, LRT Request delay period, detector type,

supply voltage and Fault Monitor Time and fault monitor high limit
value should also be indicated.
Normal Detector inputs close the Relay Contacts and are treated as
‘low’ inputs. If it is required to have Open Circuit Relay Contacts for
detection then a tick should be placed in the “Inverted” column on this
form. U/D refers to uni-directional detectors that will detect vehicles
moving in one direction only. The Call Delay Column refers to
Call/Cancel Units used for vehicles.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-7 Issue 10

Form IX - Mode Priority and Disabled Modes
This form comprises two sections:
(a) Mode Priority
The modes under which the controller shall operate need to be

defined in this section. Each mode required, should be given a
number from 1 to 9 (1 is top priority) or an ‘X’ if it is not required.
Particular attention should be paid to the priority of any Manual
facilities with regard to Cableless Link operation, such that CLF
does not disable Manual. Note CLF should always be requested
so that CLF could be added by the Handset.
The capabilities of the Manual facility switch, located on the

internal Manual panel, should be defined in the bottom boxes if
any of the modes defined are not required to be selectable.
Box 2 should define if Manual only allowed if:-

(i) Handset is inserted.
(ii) MND is entered on the Handset
Note:- a priority state should be entered for either Vehicle

Actuated (VA) or Fixed Time (FT) not both.
(b) Disabled modes
This section of the form allows modes which have been

selected to be disabled for certain streams or for all streams for
certain conditions. e.g. CLF on one stream allows other streams
to still work VA. Also Manual control could be disabled at certain
times of day. Note that Part Time and Selected Manual Control
modes may only be disabled on all streams simultaneously.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-8 Issue 10

Form X - Limit Values
This form details the upper and lower limits for certain timings which
limit any handset changes to these timings, see section 2.6 for details.
The defaults for all of these range limits are shown on the forms in
Appendix A. These can be changed if necessary within the ranges
given below :-
(a) Phase Intergreen Low Value 2 secs for traffic phases

(red/amber time)
0 secs for ped. and
Green Arrow phases
High Value 199 secs
(b) Minimum Green Times Low Value 0 secs
High Value 255 secs
(c) Phase Delay Low Value 0 secs
High Value 255 secs
(d) Starting Intergreen Low Value 0 secs

(k) Priority 2nd Delay Low Value 0 secs
High Value 255 secs
(l) DFM High Value 254 hrs
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-9 Issue 10

Form XI - Special Conditions For Stage Change/Extra Requirements
Some Stage to Stage movements may require special conditioning.

This form should be used to describe the various input states and
phase status that are required for the special condition to be satisfied.
The form is also used to list any special extra requirements that have
not been specified anywhere else, (e.g. requirements for linking to
another controller, Part-Time mode should be configured for Flashing
Amber, Parallel Stage Stream influence and cross linking etc). Usually
these extra requirements will be ones that require special conditioning.
Further sheets should be added for different modes, but if special

conditions are identical in certain modes, then these should be listed
on the same form.
Form XII - Speed Discrimination/Speed Assessment Equipment (SDE/SA)
This form need only be completed if the controller is to be used on an

intersection having high-speed vehicles.
The equipment type (SDE or SA) should be specified together with the
number of assessors and their function.
If SDE is selected only assessor types 1, 2 or 3 are available.
If SA is selected all assessors must be type 4.
An Extra-Intergreen period should be specified for every phase that is

equipped with an assessor. Following MCK 1057 amendment it is
normal for only high speed extensions to provide extra I/G. The right
hand box would normally be ticked to prevent X, Y, Z detector
extensions from providing extra clearance.
Note there is an option to use 12 foot loop spacing if required.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-10 Issue 10

Form XIII - Urban Traffic Control
The top left table to be filled in with any control and reply bits that
communicate via an OTU. Note any bits to an associated controller
should have a ‘*’ by the bit.
Where force bits are required to be demand dependent add a # (hash)

and fill out the bottom right hand table with the phase demands which
are to be considered as requests for that force. This includes both
demands originating from the street or from D bits. If there is no hash
each force bit will act irrespective of any demands.
Demand bits (Dx, D1, D2 etc.) are numbered from 1 upwards and the
tables on the right determine their function. The top table determines
which phases, or stages, or combinations will be demanded by each
bit. Dx is made larger as up to 16 stages and or 16 phases could be
required.
Similarly in the second table on the right hand side, insert which
phases should be extended by each ‘D’ bit.
In the third table on the right hand side fill in the stage demands which
will cause a reply. (A reply will occur if that stage has a demand).
Alternatively specify the phase demands which are required to reply.
NOTE:-
TO AVOID CONFUSION IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT CONTROL AND
REPLY BITS ONLY USE THE NOTATIONS ON THIS SHEET.
Form XIV - Urban Traffic Control
Tick any square which requires the reply bits along the top to be active
during the conditions on the left hand side. If the ‘other’ column is
used, detail which reply bit this information should be sent on.
The controller fault bit is set if an entry is made in any Fault Log Flag
except for the flags associated with DFM failure, Priority DFM failure
and Lamp Supply failure. For a complete list of Fault Log Flags, refer
to the Handset Handbook 667/HH/20200/000.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-11 Issue 10

Form XV - Master Time Clock and Cableless Linking
This form need only be completed if time-switch and/or Cableless link

facilities are required.
First select the ‘Day Type’ (0 - 9) from the list provided, then enter the
time that the function is required to operate (use 24 hour clock
notation).
Last of all define the function that has to be performed, along with a
description of it.
Add extra sheets as required up to a total of 64 entries.
Form XVI - Cableless Linking Plan Data
This form need only be completed if Cableless linking is required.
For the left hand table indicate the Plan number and influence set
used, then allocate a Group time (in seconds) for each group used, (0
seconds if you want it to be skipped, a time may be added using the
handset at a later date, see Appendix A).
For the right hand table indicate the influence set number, and then
allocate a Group Influence and Related Stage for each group required.
One Influence set may be used for more than one plan.
Note:- With parallel stage streaming indicate Group Influence and

Related stage for each stream required, otherwise just for Stream 0.
NOTE FOR INFLUENCE 0, 3 AND 7 A STAGE IN THAT STREAM

MUST BE ENTERED.
Add extra sheets as required for up to 8 plans.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-12 Issue 10

Form XVII - Additional switches and LEDs and Hurry Calls
This form comprises four parts :-
(a) Additional Switches and LEDs
There are three spare switches and three spare LEDs on the
Manual Panel. This form is used to specify if a function is to be
allocated to the switch or LED. The switches and LEDs may all
be used independently, but if a toggle action is specified then
the associated LED will operate in conjunction with the switch,
i.e. press once to turn the switch on and the associated LED
illuminates to indicate that the switch is on, press again and the
LED will go off to indicate that the switch is off.
The default action of the switch is that of a toggle switch. If it is

required to use the switch as a momentary switch then a tick
should be placed in the “momentary” column against the
particular switch. When used as a momentary, the switch will be
on while the switch is pressed.
If the switch is specified as Momentary or the switch is not used,
then the associated LED may be used independently for any
purpose.
Describe the functions required for the switches and LEDs in
the “Use” column.
(b) Hurry Call(s)
All information relating to any Hurry Calls should be specified in

this table.
(c) Optional Filter green arrow in Manual
This section should be used to indicate whether the Filter green

arrow(s) should appear, not appear or be demand dependent
during Manual mode.
(d) Part Time Mode
If this mode is required then the switch off stage should be

specified here.
Where parallel stage Streaming is used enter one stage for
each stream.
Any special part time requirements should be detailed on Form
XI.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-13 Issue 10

Form XVIII - Red Lamp Monitor
This form is used where Red lamp monitoring is used as defined in

MCK 1061. Note that if the new enhanced red lamp monitor system is
required, the original ‘extend intergreen’ page should be ignored.
Form XIX - Extend All Red by Detectors
If All-Red Extension facilities are required this form should be

completed by indicating the Extend All Red Moves for each unit
required, the effect of this facility in certain modes and the All Red
extension time (per stream required).
Note:- The All Red Maximum time is measured from the point at which
the first phase in the new stage would normally start its Red to
Green transition period (usually Red Amber).
The extension time is measured from the point at which the loop
becomes unoccupied.
Form XX - Independent Intergreens
Fill in any phases which are not to be held by the intergreen of a

terminating phase.
Form XXI - Definition of Time Switch Parameters
This form is used in conjunction with form where a time switch is

specified as function 2, (introduce an event time table).
Each line of this form represents a switch, (0-15). Facilities are

allocated to these switches, as required.
The parameters, (0-15) can then be filled out with any combination of
the switches, as required. e.g. select Max set B.
If this sheet is filled in, it should be included immediately following form

XV.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-14 Issue 10

Form XXII - Pedestrian Link
This form need only be completed if linking to an adjacent

Pedestrian/Pelican controller is required.
Form XXIII/XXIV - Priority/Emergency Mode
This form need only be completed if LRT and/or Emergency vehicle

priority facilities are required.
(a) Basic Requirements
For each priority unit required its type, related phase and
monitoring/gap timings should be specified.
The configured conditioning of ‘Priority Demand’, ‘Revertive

Priority Demands’, ‘Inhibit Times’ and ‘Priority DFM Self - Reset’
should also be stated.
Note:-
Some ‘Enabled’ states are conditional on other facilities also
being enabled.
The number(s) corresponding to the priority unit(s), which are

required to be inhibited, should be entered into the next box.
The next section should specify which demanded phase(s) will

be serviced when a move to the priority phase takes place, (if
any).
The last section specifies which phase(s) will be demanded

when a move to the priority phase takes place, (if any).
Note:-
Phase(s) specified in “ENFORCE DEMAND” must also appear
in ‘ALLOWED VA DEMANDS’.
(b) Time Periods
The timings for each priority unit should be specified on this

form and the plan type indicated in the section provided.
667/HB/20200/000 Page 7-15 Issue 10

Form XXV - Non-UK Signal Sequences
This form is only applicable to some export requirements. If the signal

sequences as shown in the table are required, then a tick should be
placed in the box at the top of the page.
It is possible to specify two methods of operation for the Signals on/off

switch. In both cases, when the signals are switched off, the controller
continues cycling as normal, except that the signals are no longer
illuminated. If a tick is placed in the box against “Immediate Signals
On”, then when the Signals on/off switch is set back to the “on”
position, the signals immediately illuminate at whatever point they
were, in the controller cycle. If a tick is placed in the box “As Startup”
then the controller will go through the startup sequence to illuminate
the signals.
If the signal sequence specified includes flashing e.g. flashing green in

the pedestrian sequence, then unless otherwise specified the flashing
on and off times will both be 400ms. If it is required to have different on
or off times, then the required value(s) should be entered in the boxes
provided on this form.
Form XXVI - Manual Step-On Facility
This is an alternative to full UK Manual mode operation, where instead

of having a different button to select each stage (or pattern of stages in
Parallel Stage Streaming), one button makes the controller step
through a predefined pattern of stages.
In the boxes to the side of “Stream 0”, enter the stage numbers in
sequence from left to right, to specify the order in which the stages
should appear. If there is more than one stream, repeat this process
for the other streams. Stages that appear in the same columns of the
form will run together. The same stage may be specified more than
once within the Manual cycle if required. This may occur by either
double appearance or the same stage in one stream running with two
separate stages in another stream.
Movement from one stage to the next, or in the case of parallel stage
streaming from one pattern of stages to the next, occurs in one of two
ways. The first way is by operation of the Manual Step On button. In
this case a tick should be placed in the box at the bottom of the column
indicating that the Manual Step On button must be operated in order
that the controller moves from the stage pattern specified. The second
way is to move automatically after the time as defined in the box
(instead of entering a tick) onto the next stage, or pattern of stages.

C.1 50-0-50 VOLT CONTROLLER
Note :- This version of the T400 does not meet DTp specification MCE0141
in respect of dimming voltages and voltage sensing. This is inherent
in the 50-0-50 volt output. The 50-0-50 version of the controller does
meet the equivalent figures which are specified by (50+50)/240.
The 50-0-50 volt controller is a version of the standard so that the voltages
on the cables leaving the controller are 50 volts A.C. nominal with respect to
earth, rather than the standard 240 volts and are transformer isolated from
the incoming mains supply.
The voltages on feeds an auxiliary devices such as regulatory signs,

microwave detectors, solar cells etc. is nominally 50-0-50 volt rms with the
centre tap taken to earth. Low voltage dc supplies for detectors (nominal 24
volts) are unaffected.
An additional circuit breaker is provided to enable the 50-0-50 volt feeds to

be isolated with a single switch without switching the controller logic off. This
also provides protection if either of the 50 volt feeds is shorted to earth. (This
does not include the 24 volts intended for supplying external loop detectors.)
C.1.1 Signal load limitations
The current supplied to the controller is limited compared to the standard 240
volt T400 controllers detailed below. Figures assume 0.614A per lamp.
For a large outercase controller fitted with a 1.5 kVA dimming transformer.
Maximum load per individual phase - 4 amps (6 lamps on at one time*)

Maximum load per phase board - 10 amps (18 lamps on at one time)
Total lamp O/P load per controller - 15 amps (25 lamps on at one time)
For a small outercase controller fitted with a 1.0 kVA dimming transformer.
Maximum load per individual phase - 4 amps (6 lamps on at one time)

Maximum load per phase board - 10 amps (18 lamps on at one time)
Total lamp O/P load per controller - 10 amps (18 lamps on at one time)
Note that the regulatory sign load, solar cell load and any other low voltage
ac loads such as pedestrian audio, wait box, etc, all form part of the controller
load.
*
These figures assume each lamp transformer (on load) takes 0.614 Amps (worst case).

C.1.2 Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
A miniature circuit breaker is used to provide overload protection on the lamp

supply outputs. It also protects the outputs to the regulatory signs, MVDs,
Solar cells etc. The MCB acts as a switch enabling the maintenance to be
carried out on the signals heads etc without stopping the controller logic.
Note : When the signals are switched off using the MCB, controller fault log
17 (Lamp supply fail detected) will be set. This should be reset using
handset command RFL=1 when the MCB is returned to the normal
position.
C.1.3 Street Equipment
C.1.3.1 Solar Cell
A 110 Volt version of the solar cell, derived from the 50-0-50 volt
supply, via a transformer mounted in the adjacent signal head.
C.1.3.2 High Intensity Signals
All signals and pedestrian wait boxes must be modified using

transformers designed for 50-0-50 supply. The H.I. have tapped
secondaries to compensate for the increased voltage drop that is
caused by operating at a lower voltage and higher current. Two taps
are available selected on the basis of cable length :- 0 to 60 metres and
61 to 120 metres for distances greater than this 2 cores should be used
for each feed. Note a separate return should be used for each head or
wait indicator with a separate feed per optic..
C.1.3.3 Regulatory Signs
A modification to standard regulatory signs is required, incorporating an

auto transformer to step he 50-0-50 up to 110 volts for the fluorescent
tube circuits.
C.1.3.4 Microwave Vehicle Detectors
The microwave vehicle detectors must be the type 110 volt version
which allows operation on the 50-0-50 volt supply using the regulatory
supply.
C.1.4 Dual Solar Cell
The solar cell facility on a 50-0-50 controller can be modified to enable two
solar cell outputs to be provided. These are connected to the controller via
667/HB/20200/000 Page C.-2 Issue 10

two relays mounted within the controller. One of the solar cells acts as a
‘master’ causing the controller to change from ‘dim’ to ‘bright’ and ‘bright’ to
‘dim’ in the normal manner. This facility is not available on a 240 volt
controller.
The two solar cells are then monitored and when of the following two fault
conditions occur the signals will be set to the ‘bright’ state.
1. If both solar cells outputs are in different states for more than 16 hours.
This is adjustable with the range of 0 to 255 hours using handset
command PIR0. The value which is assigned to handset command
PIR0 will give required monitor time in hours, with the default setting
being 16.
2. If the solar cell outputs are in different states for more than 45 minutes.
This is adjustable with the range of 0 to 255 minutes using handset
command PIR1. The value which is assigned to handset command
PIR1 will give required monitor time in minutes, with the default setting
being 45.
When either of the above two faults occur the controller fault log 27 will be
set as shown below. The fault log will remain set until reset using the
handset. While the fault log is active the signals will be held in the non-
dimmed state.
FLF 27 = 1 If the solar cell outputs remain in the same state for more than
16 hours.
FLF 27 = 2 If the solar cell outputs are in different states for more than 45
minutes.
FLF 27 = 3 If both the above conditions occur.
C.2 GAS PLINTH
A gas plinth can be fitted below the controller to inhibit any gases from
entering the controller, the gas is allowed to escape via the vented plinth. All
cables entering the controller must pass through the gas plinth with cable
glands being used to seal the cables. There are a maximum number of cables
that can enter the controller when a gas plinth is used, as detailed below :-
Small case controller - 18 cables (Including electrical supply)

Large case controller - 27 cables (Including electrical supply)

D.1.3 Calculation Of An Intersections Power Requirements
The following worked example is based upon a mains supply of 200 volts
rms.
Firstly the average lamp power for the junction is calculated, this allows the
selection of the dimming transformer. Secondly the average lamp power is
added to the average controller power to give the total average power which
a local authority may use to estimate running costs.
Average lamp power is calculated as follows:-
For every signal head, 1 lamp is illuminated at 63 watts, every wait indicator
is illuminated at 42 watts, every regulatory sign is illuminated at 63 watts.
Therefore considering our theoretical junction Figure 2.2 we have the

following result.
a) 1 lamp per signal head at 63 watts 63 x 12 = 756W

b) Every wait indicator illuminated at 42 watts 42 x 4 = 168W
c) Every regulatory sign illuminated at 63 watts 63 x 1 = 63W
987W
To select the dimming transformer first select the tapping and then choose
appropriate power rating from following table.
Dimming Voltage Power load watts at full voltage Dimming transformer

load < 1969 1.0K VA
120v 1969 < load < 2898 1.5K VA
2898 < load < 3906 2.0K VA
load < 1764 1.0K VA
140v 1764 < load < 2583 1.5K VA
2583 < load < 3465 2.0K VA
load < 1700 1.0K VA
160v 1700 < load < 2331 1.5K VA
2331 < load < 3213 2.0K VA
667/HB/20200/000 Page D.-2 Issue 10

The average controller power is calculated as follows:-
A controller with dimming is 105 watts plus the number of detectors required
at 6 watts/board for every Siemens ST detector.
Therefore, for our theoretical junction Figure 2.2 the result is as follows:-
1 x Controller 105 watts

1 x Siemens ST detector 6 watts
111 watts
For the total average power to aid electricity authorities with the running cost
estimates, the lamp average power must be added to the controller average
power.
e.g. 987 watts

+ 111 watts
1098 watts
D.1.4 Calculating The Lamp Supply Fuse Required
In order to calculate the lamp supply fuse required the worst case red/amber
is used, i.e. the red/amber during which the most signal heads are at
red/amber. For the theoretical junction Figure 2.2 this is during the move 2 to
1 with 5 signal heads at red/amber.
Signal heads at red/amber x 126 watts 5 x 126 = 630W

Signal head with 1 lamp illuminated x 63 watts 7 x 63 = 441W
Every wait indicator illuminated x 42 watts 4 x 42 = 168W
Every regulatory sign illuminated x 63 watts 1 x 63 = 63W
1302W
The lamp power is then re-calculated using 126 watts for every signal head at
red/amber. This gives us the peak lamp power, e.g. for our theoretical
junction Figure 2.2.
This is divided by 200 volts to give us the peak lamp current, e.g. 1302 ÷ 200
= 6.5 Amps.
Then from the following table we derive our fuses:
Peak Lamp Current Fuse

0.0A < Current < 6.5A 7A
6.5A < Current < 9.5A 10A
9.5A < Current < 14A 15A
14A < Current < 19A 20A
