hurry call is valid provided its prevent timer is not active due to a previous hurry call
and the delay timer for any higher priority hurry call is not active. A cancel input for
each hurry call enables the process to be terminated any time during the delay, hold or
prevent periods.
There are two hurry call units available on the controller (0 & 1), the facilities
described below exist for both individual hurry call units.
The hurry call for a stage is normally generated from a remote push button or special
detectors but other calling conditions can be used, if required. On receipt of a hurry
call request the controller will go into Hurry Call mode after a preset delay - the hurry
call delay period - providing the controller is not in a higher priority mode.
On expiry of the hurry call delay period, the controller moves immediately to the
requested stage, subject to stage movement restrictions, provided the intergreen
timings and minimum green timings associated with phases in the currently running
stage have expired.
Extensions for running phases are ignored. If the requested move to the hurry call
stage is not permitted directly, the controller can be programmed to move via the all
red stage or other specified permitted stage movements to the hurry call stage. If the
move is accomplished via an alternative stage(s), these stage(s) terminate when their
phase minimum green timings expire. During the move to the called stage, any active
intergreen extensions are implemented.
With the hurry call stage selected, the condition is held for a preset period - the hurry
call hold period - irrespective of the condition of the minimum, extension and
maximum green timers for phases in the stage. At the end of the hold period, the
controller reverts to the highest priority mode whose operating conditions are active.
The hurry call is only considered to have been serviced when the required movement
has been active for the hold period. Thus, if the movement is cut short by a higher
priority mode, the request remains and is serviced after the higher priority mode unless,
in the course of operating in the higher priority mode, the cancel input is activated.
The prevent timer allows programming of the minimum period between repeats of the
same call. With the prevent timer for a call running, incoming calls are rejected. The
prevent timer commences to time at the same time as the hold timer.
Cancel input: An input can be configured to cancel the hurry call. If the cancel input
becomes active during the delay period, the controller will drop out of hurry call mode.
(N.B. If cancelled during the Hold period, the prevent timer is reset, thus the same
hurry call can cause hurry mode to become active again immediately, without waiting
for a prevent time to expire.)
Acknowledge/Confirm output: An output can be configured to confirm that a valid
hurry call request has been received and accepted. If the request is not accepted due to
any of the reasons mentioned below, the output will not become active to confirm.
