NSM-3E Signal Monitor Unit
Operations Manual
Yellow field signal outputs. Any channels which have been selected for Dual Indication
Monitoring by the SSM switches will function as described above in Section 2.2.
GY-Dual Indication Monitoring is disabled when the Red Enable input is not active.
2.2.2 WALK DISABLE (DUAL INDICATION MONITORING)
This option will modify the operation of Dual Indication Monitoring on the NSM-3E Signal
Monitor. When enabled, the Dual Indication monitoring function will not monitor the Walk
field outputs. This function is enabled by the front panel option switch labeled "WALK
DISABLE". See also Section 1.3.1.
2.3 CLEARANCE (SHORT OR ABSENT YELLOW) MONITORING
This function detects the absence of a minimum 2.7 second period of an active Yellow field
signal output during a Green to Yellow to Red signal sequence. Clearance Monitoring is
enabled concurrently with Dual Indication Monitoring on a per channel basis via the front
panel SSM switches.
Clearance Monitoring is disabled when the Red Enable input is not active.
A Clearance (short or absent Yellow) fault condition will place the NSM-3E Signal Monitor
into the fault mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer.
2.4 RECURRENT PULSE DETECTION (RP STATUS)
This error detection function supplements the normal Conflict, Dual Indication, and Red Fail
monitoring algorithms for sensing faults which are intermittent or pulsing in nature. The
RMS-Engine is designed to filter out short term transients commonly found on the electrical
service and provide noise immunity against false signal detections. The Recurrent Pulse
detection function is designed to respond to fault conditions which are intermittent in nature
and do not meet the continuous timing requirements of the normal detection algorithms, yet
may still produce improper signal displays. These input conditions are differentiated by
their longer time constant and fault response times.
The diagram below shows an example of a recurrent Conflict fault. Channel 1 Green is
detected active due to a malfunction of the load switch which caused the output to "flicker"
On for 100 ms approximately every 200 ms. Since normal Conflict detection requires a
continuous fault of at least 350 ms typical, this malfunction could go undetected. The
Recurrent Pulse detection algorithm will combine these pulses into one event and trigger a
Conflict fault once the longer recurrent timing threshold is exceeded.
When triggered by a recurrent fault condition, the NSM-3E Signal Monitor will enter the fault
mode causing the Output relay contacts to transfer and illuminate the appropriate
CONFLICT, DUAL INDICATION, or RED FAIL indicator along with the RP STATUS
indicator. The unit will remain in the fault mode until reset by the Reset button or the
External Reset input. Fault response times will vary depending on the pulse width and
frequency of the recurrent inputs, but will range from 1000 ms minimum to 10.4 seconds
