When ‘G1/G2’ is received at the central office the computer releases control
immediately. When ‘G1/G2’ stops being sent the computer will not regain control until
reset by the operator.
Normally ‘G1/G2’ is used to indicate no lamp power, i.e. condition (iii). If it is used to
indicate condition (i), (ii) or (v) then the modes that are selected may not be a higher
priority than UTC and would cause the computer to release control unnecessarily and
then require computer operator intervention to restore UTC control.
Ideally conditions (i), (ii) and (v) should be used with an ‘MC’ or ‘RR’ bit, condition
(iv) with a ‘DF’ bit and condition (vi) with a ‘CF’ bit, although the availability of bit
allocation will be the deciding factor.
If stage 2 is not used during UTC mode or there is no ‘G2’ bit, then another ‘G’ bit
may be programmed to be returned along with ‘G1’.
Figure 21.15 indicates where to request the conditions required.
In the example shown, ‘G1/G2’ is returned when there is no lamp power.
See also 9.3.3(9.3.3(b)).
9.3.4(b) Detector Fault (DF)
A ‘DF’ bit may be returned to indicate any of the following conditions:
(i) Manual mode selected and operative
(ii) Manual mode selected
(iii) No lamp power
(iv) Detector Fault Monitor timed out.
(v) NORMAL mode select button not selected, i.e. MANUAL, FIXED
TIME or V/A.
(vi) An entry in the controller fault log.
Normally ‘DF’ is used to indicate condition (iv) although sometimes it is used for
condition (vi).
Figure 21.15 indicates where to request the conditions required.In the example shown,
‘DF’ is returned when there is a detector fault, i.e. the DFM has timed out.
9.3.4(c) Switch Facility Confirm (SC1 and SC2)
An ‘SC’ bit may be returned to indicate that its associated ‘S’ control bit has
introduced its facility of the Event Timetable.
See also 9.3.3(9.3.3(c)).
9.3.4(d) First Group Confirm (GR1)
A ‘GR1’ bit may be returned to indicate that the first group, i.e. Group O, of the
current CLF plan is active, regardless of whether CLF is the current mode or not.
