  • Page 7: General Information

    This manual provides application, installation and maintenance information for the STS USA Audio Track Transceiver, Model ATT-20. The ATT-20 is a short-range transceiver operating in the audio frequency range of 12 to 20 KHz. The high frequency range was chosen to provide sharp block definition. The ATT-20 can be used in applications such as highway crossings, island circuits, switch lock release and general train detection in non-electrified and DC electrified territories.
  • Page 8: Transceiver Characteristics

    ATT-20 Audio Track Transceiver 1.3.2. Transceiver Characteristics CAUTION The ATT-20 may be operated from a constant potential rectifier (CPR) supply, batteries floating on a CPR, or an electronically regulated supply. Regardless of the supply used, a surge ripple filter (STS USA N451590-0301) must be used between the supply and the ATT-20 Transceiver.

    APPLICATION, INSTALLATION, AND ADJUSTMENTS 2.1. General This section provides information on the application of the ATT-20, as well as installation and adjustment procedures for the ATT-20 and related equipment. It is also critical that this section be read in its entirety prior to any application considerations.
  • Page 12: Series Mode Track Circuit Application

    In this application, the transmitter and receiver are wired in sequence via a jumper on the ATT-20 unit. This jumper connects transmitter output terminal 4 to the receiver input terminal 6. The remaining transmitter output lead (terminal 3) and the remaining receiver lead (terminal 5) are twisted as a pair and each is connected to its respective rail (see Figure 2-2).

    The resistance of the adjustment shunt must accurately represent the desired shunting sensitivity. 2. Adjust the ATT-20 transmitter output level through the access hole in the top cover until the relay is energizes. 3. Remove the hard-wire shunt from the rails.
  • Page 16: Series Mode Installation

    ATT-20 Audio Track Transceiver 2.8.1. Series Mode Installation Refer to Figure 2-2 and proceed as follows to install the ATT-20 in a series mode application: 1. Connect a jumper strap between terminals 4 and 6 on the ATT-20 when the total single conductor cable length from the ATT-20 to the track is less what appears in Table 2-3 below.

    3. Remove the hardwire shunt from the rails. The adjustment procedure is complete. 2.8.3. Series Mode Adjustment with Cable Compensating PCB Proceed as follows to adjust the ATT-20 in a series mode, with cable compensating PCB installation: 1. Place a zero ohm shunt across the track connections at the feed end.

The surge ripple filter consists of a series line inductor and a four-terminal capacitor with a selenium suppressor diode across its terminals. The four-terminal capacitor guarantees loss of power to the load should one of the capacitor leads or plates open.
