An acceptable alternative is to provide a single fault indication and a supplemental display that clearly indicates the fault type.
c.Ensure that a failure causes its respective indicator light to display.
3.Monitor Power. Ensure that the Mon itor does not use the 24VDC power supply being sensed to run any of its internal circuitry. Ensure that the watchdog, stop time, external reset, and 24VDC monitor input circuits are optically isolated from the Monitor internal power supply and are conditi oned to provide proper sense circuit operation throughout the operating range.
4.Power Fail. Consider a line voltage less than 85 V ac 2 V ac as a power failure. Ensure that a power failure does not result in resetting the Monitor. Ensure that once the Monitor is triggered by detection of a fault that it remains in that state until a Reset Command is issued. Reset is issued only by the Front Panel Control Switch or by the External Test Reset input.
5.Power Up. Furnish a Monitor that is compatible with the Model 2070 controller unit . When power is established, > 103 2 Vac, the monitor will power up in the FAULT RELAY RECOVERY mode: When power is established, initiate FAULT RELAY RECOVERY. For an interval of 6.0 0.5 seconds, the following will take place: 733.03 893 (a) The Output Relay contacts remain closed, and the Stop Time output remains active.
b.All fault monitoring functions remain suspended.
c.The AC POWER indicator light flashes at a 2 hertz rate. At the end of this time interval, the Monito r begins counting Watchdog transitions from the controller and prepares to resume normal fault monitoring. Ensure that the resumption of normal Fault monitoring occurs when either:
a.The Monitor has counted 5 transitions between the True and False state from the controller Watchdog; or
b.10 0.5 seconds has elapsed from the time of LINE RECOVERY. If the controller Watchdog output does not become active, ensure that the Monitor goes into a Latched Fault condition.
6.Cabinet Signals Monitored. Furnish a Monitor designed to monitor Green, Yellow, and Red AC circuits at the field output terminals of traffic signal cabinets. Monitor shall be capable of monitoring Flashing Yellow Arrow channels. In addition, monitor the cabinet 24VDC supply, and the Mode l 2070 controller Watchdog Timer output. These signals are processed by the Monitor circuitry, and if a failure is determined to have occurred, ensure that a relay output contact closure (FAILED state) places the cabinet and intersection into flashing operation.
7.Failed State Output Circuits.
a.Use an electro -mechanical relay to provide the FAILED STATE output circuit. Ensure that the relay contacts are normally closed (FAILED STATE). In a NON -FAILED state (relay coil energized), ensure that the contacts are open. The function of this output circuit is to initiate flash operation within the cabinet and transfer field circuits from the switch pack outputs to the flash bus during a FAILED STATE.
b.Furnish relay contacts that are rated for a minimum of 3 amperes at 120 V ac and 100,000 operations. Ensure that the contact opening/closing time is 30 ms or less. Furnish contacts that present a minimum impedance of 50,000 ohms in the open state.

8.Monitor Unit Reset. Furnish a front panel momentary SPST pushbutton switch labeled “RESET” to reset the Monitor to a Non -FAILED state and restores normal monitoring operation. Position the switch on the front panel so that the switch can be operated while gripping the front panel handle. 733.03 894 Ensure that the External Test Reset input line resets the Monitor circuitry to a Non -FAILED state and restores normal monitoring operation. Optically isolate it from the internal circuitry. Ensure that a reset issuance by either source (Unit Reset) is triggered by only the leading edge of the input signal (this will prevent a constant reset due to either a switch failure or a constant external input). Ensure that a constant reset input is ignored within 5 seconds of issuance.
9.Input Impedance. Ensure that the input impedance for all monitored AC inputs are 200 kilohms 100 kilohms.

b.Display the status of the Green, Yellow, and Red inputs of all channels, at the time the fault was latched. Ensure that a power loss does not affect the retention of this data. An acceptable alternative is to save status of all channels in memory and only display the latched fault.
7.Insertion/Removal of Unit. Ensure that it is possible to insert and remove the Monitor while th e cabinet is energized without placing the cabinet into Flash operation provided that: The cabinet door remains open and the reset switch is held depressed while the unit is being inserted or removed.
