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.
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.
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).
• Use higher frequency units when less ring-by is desired. • Provide lightning protection per Section 2.9. • The relay recommended to be used with ATT-20 is a vital PN-150B, STS USA No. N322500-701, 400 ohm, plug-in type. Copyright 2019...
500 ft. Also, do not exceed block lengths of 300 ft. 2. Connect terminals 7 (relay +) and 8 (relay -) to the relay. The recommended relay to be used with the ATT-20 is a PN-150B, 400 ohm plug-in type, STS USA Part No.: N322500-701.
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.
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.

ATT-20 Audio Track Transceiver Zener diodes for suppression of low voltage transients. The STS USA part no. is N451552-0525. 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.
It then amplifies and rectifies this signal to provide a DC output which drives the relay coil. The functional description of the ATT-20 applied to the shunt track circuit is covered in Section 3.2. Section 3.3 covers the series mode track circuit.
ATT-20 Audio Track Transceiver Resistor R15 and R19 form a voltage divider which sets the bias for transistor Q4. Capacitor C12 bypasses resistor R19. Transistors Q4, Q5, Q6 and Q8 make up a unity gain with low output impedance. Diodes D4, D5, D6 and D8 - along with...
These procedures should also reveal whether the fault is in the ATT-20 or a related unit or circuit. If fault lies with the ATT-20, the ATT-20 should be replaced with a new unit. When installing the new unit, please make certain to follow all installation procedures outlined in Section 2.
RELAY Figure 4-1. ATT-20 Test Circuit for Shunt Mode Application The tests performed in Section 4.4 verify proper operation of the ATT-20 unit in a shunt mode application. If the track circuit installation still does not work properly, troubleshoot the cabling, connections, and peripheral equipment associated with the track circuit.
If the relay connections are good, replace the ATT-20 with a unit of the same frequency and then repeat steps 1 and 2. If the relay still does not energize, replace the relay with another...

ATT-20 Audio Track Transceiver SHOP MAINTENANCE STS USA recommends that faulty ATT-20 units be returned to the factory for shop level testing and repair. Both the transmitter and receiver must undergo special PCB’s testing, calibration, and component replacement (per frequency) procedures. See Section 7 for contact information.
