9.6 SELECTED MANUAL CONTROL MODE
Refer also to Section 16.
MANUAL mode selected on the pushbuttons is recognized as a mode for priority
purposes and for use during UTC mode.
Manual mode will only become operative if it is a higher priority then the current mode
and if it has not been disabled.
9.6.1 Manual Mode
(If Manual Step-On facility is fitted see also section 9.7.)
With the MANUAL mode button pressed, Manual mode will be selected providing
there are no operating conditions for a higher priority mode (see section 9.12). During
Manual mode, only 7 stages and the all-red condition (Stage 0) are available to be
selected by means of push-buttons on the manual panel. No stage changes may be
made until the last phase minimum green in the current stage has timed off. When the
controller is ready to accept a selection, the AWAITING COMMAND indicator
illuminates and any subsequent push-button selection is implemented provided:
(i) No prohibited stage move condition is violated.
(ii) The requested stage is not deleted by the master time clock.
If any of these conditions occur, the PROHIBITED MOVE indicator illuminates. In
the case of (i) the stage can be selected via another stage change which is allowed, e.g.
to Stage 0, but in the case of (ii), the stage cannot be selected until the master time
clock inhibit is removed. Any phases deleted by the master time clock will not be active
during Manual mode. For control of non-fixed phases during Manual Control see
section 3.9.
When Manual Mode ceases, demands may be automatically inserted for selected non-
running phases to force a particular sequence. These demands are normally inserted to
ensure no vehicles are trapped against a red light, unless otherwise requested by a
customer.
9.6.2 Allocation Of Stages To Push-buttons
Stage 0 is always allocated to Push-button 0. Up to 7 of the remaining stages may be
allocated to any of push-buttons 1 to 7 as required (see Figure 21.5). Stages other than
those allocated to the push-buttons may appear during Manual mode. If one is active
when Manual mode first becomes operative it will continue to run until a new selection
is made. If one is used as alternative stage during a prohibited move, the stage will run
for the minimum period and then automatically change to the required stage.
During the interstage and while the stage is active, the indicator by the push-button
number that the stage is allocated to will illuminate on the manual panel. Push button
numbers would normally coincide with stage numbers although this is not necessarily
