Electronic Relay Reset Module
ASTS USA’s Electronic Relay Reset Module supports the PV250E and TRU-III units in MicroLok II cab signal track circuit
applications that do not incorporate a Track Relay. Using an
output of this module, the PV-250E or TRU-III can provide a
direct input to MicroLok II for train detection, or use an ASTS
USA PN-150B vital relay for this purpose. LEDs on the Reset
Module show the on/off state of its output.
Description
In MicroLok II-controlled cab signal applications, steady energy is
restored to track circuit from logic involving sequential track circuit
occupancy. On/off coding is generally in the range of 50 to 420
CPM, which is too fast for MicroLok II to recognize and assert its
application logic. When a cab signal track circuit has been
shunted without a train progressing from one track circuit to
another, the Reset Module (responding to a PV-250E or
TRU-III output) is used to provide an input to MicroLok Advantages (cont’d)

this range.
The Reset Module is housed in a compact plastic case
designed for rack mounting via a standard DIN rail. All
power and data wiring is terminated on the front of the
unit with scew-clasped terminals. Red and green
status LEDs are provided on the front of the unit. The
normal state of the Reset Module output is off with the
green LED lit. The red LED lights when the input
signal is coded and the output is turned on. This state
only persists for about 20 seconds until the MicroLok II
unit turns off the cab code rate.
