1. SLEEP MODE DESCRIPTION The Sleep Mode PCB (N17064901) allows a MICROLOK II unit to enter low power mode and draw very little battery power. The MICROLOK II unit can be awakened to a fully functional mode by a wake-up radio signal or through the rails in response to a Microtrax track message. Under normal circumstances, when a train is not in the area, all of the MICROLOK II units will be in a low power mode awaiting instructions to verify the integrity of the track circuit. When requested, the MICROLOK II Sleep Mode Unit will monitor the integrity of the rails using MICROTRAX Track PCBs and report any broken rail condition.
Wake-up can also be accomplished by pressing the East and West pushbuttons on the front panel of the Sleep Mode PCB

3. INSTALLATION Figure 3-1 is a typical example of a terminal strip wiring for a Sleep mode PCB in a MICROLOK II system. Figure 3-1 illustrates the terminal block layout for terminating the input/output and power wiring used for a typical Sleep Mode installation. The terminating strip is not included with the Sleep Mode PCB and must be ordered separately.
3.1. Power Hookup
1. Apply B12 (+12 VDC) to the On/Off Switch located on the left side of the terminal block.
2. Apply N12 (- 12 VDC) to position 10A on the terminal block.
NOTE
Use #14 AWG wire for the B12 and N12 power input lines. Strip a 0.37” length of the end of the wires before attaching them to the terminal block. Use a WAGO screwdriver to access the On/Off Switch screws and the connections to the WAGO “C” Rail terminal blocks. WAGO screwdriver Part Numbers are either #210-119 or 210-257 not included.
3.2. Radio Inputs to the Sleep Mode System
1. Apply the West Radio Wake-up signal wires (normally open isolated dry contacts, Section 1.1.5) to the Sleep Mode System at positions 40B and 41A of the terminal block.
2. Apply the East Radio Wake-up signal wires (normally open isolated dry contacts, Section 1.1.5) to the Sleep Mode System at positions 39A and 40A of the terminal block.
3.3. Radio Outputs from the Sleep Mode System
1. Apply the East Clear Output contact closures to the radio interface inputs. They are located on the Sleep Mode System terminal block at positions 23A and 24A.
2. Apply the East Not Clear Output contact closures to the radio interface inputs. They are located on the Sleep Mode System terminal block at positions 25A and 26A.
3. Apply the West Clear Output contact closures to the radio interface inputs. They are located on the Sleep Mode System terminal block at positions 27A and 28A.
4. Apply the West Not Clear Output contact closures to the radio interface inputs. They are located on the Sleep Mode System terminal Block at positions 29A and 30A.

3.4. MICROTRAX Input Wiring from the MICROLOK II Sleep Mode Unit to the Track Interface Panel Wiring
1. Attach a 14 AWG wire from the Sleep Mode System East Side of the Insulated Joint (+Input of the Track Interface Panel) to the terminal block at position 15A; attach a 14 AWG wire from the Sleep Mode System East Side of the Insulated Joint (-Input of the Track Interface Unit) to the terminal block at position 16A.
2. In a similar manner attach 14 AWG wires from the Sleep Mode System West Side of the Insulated Joint (+Input of the Track Interface Panel) to the terminal block at positions 15A and from the West Side of the Insulated Joint (-Input of the Track Interface Panel) to the terminal block at position 18A.
3. Connect the MICROTRAX Output wiring from the Track Interface Panel to the track by attaching two 6 AWG to 9 AWG wires from the Track Interface Panel output AREMA terminals (+T and –T) to the track.
3.5. East and West Auxiliary Inputs
East and West Auxiliary Inputs (EAUX and WAUX) can be used with a slide fence, a high water detector, or switch machine correspondence contact to block transmission of a Track Clear message when the contact is open. Rewiring of the WAGO terminal strip is required to activate these functions. The required rewiring consists of:
1. Remove jumpers 48A to 54A and 54B to 56B.
2. Add connection over a front contact from 48A to 54A (EAUX) and a connection over a front contact from 56A to 48C (WAUX).
The completed wiring is shown in Figure 3-1.

4. OPERATION 4.1. Theory Of Operation for the Sleep Mode Printed Circuit Board
See Figure 4-1 for the following Sleep Mode Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Operation.
A1 and A2 are identical in operation - the only difference is that A1 is associated with the MICROTRAX East Track signal and A2 is associated with the MICROTRAX West Track signal. The input to each section is first bandpass-filtered (center frequency = 2.2 Hz) and then level-detected. If the signal exceeds the level detector threshold continuously for more than 1.5 seconds, its latching output will set a flip-flop that in turn enables the Power Supply Shutdown pin, which allows the MICROLOK II unit to turn on (as described in A7).
A3 receives the Radio East Wake-up, Radio West Wake-up, East Test Switch, and West Test Switch inputs. The Radio East Wake-up and Radio West Wake-up inputs are each optically isolated from the radio by 2500 V rms via solid state relays, which in turn drive two separate one-shots (one for the East and one for the West). The input to each one-shot must be present continuously for more than 470 milliseconds, in which case the one-shot will set a flip-flop and drive enable the Power Supply Shutdown pin, which allows the MICROLOK II unit to turn on (as described in A7).
The East and West Test Switch inputs are controlled by two separate momentary pushbutton switches located on the front panel of the Sleep Mode PCB. The contacts of these switches are essentially "ORed" with the appropriate Radio Wake-up inputs, which means that a test switch must be pressed for at least 470 milliseconds to be recognized.
There are four outputs associated with A3: the East and West Wake-up signals (which result from either Radio or Test Switch activation), the Test output (which responds to either Test Switch), and a "diode-ORed" East/West Radio Wake-up signal (which responds to either Radio contact).
A4 contains the 5-volt analog voltage references for the two level detectors in A1 and A2. It also contains the Master Reset circuitry for initial power-up to the Sleep Mode PCB. Through some additional gating circuitry, the Master Reset can also be controlled by a MICROLOK II output bit (Restore Request) to reset the entire Sleep Mode PCB. The Stay Awake is also controlled by a MICROLOK II output bit. The Stay Awake is used to override the Master Reset by preventing the unit from entering Sleep mode, but still allowing the flip-flops on the Sleep Mode PCB to be cleared.

A5 provides optical isolation of the four signals that may be sent to the Radio through four solid state relays. The relays are controlled by the output section of the IN8.OUT8 PCB for the four signals which are:
East Clear
East Not Clear
West Clear
West Not Clear
Two outputs may be sent to the Radio simultaneously (one East and one West).
A6 shows the interface between the Sleep Mode PCB and the MICROLOK II IN8.OUT8 PCB. Five Inputs to the IN8.OUT8 PCB (labeled A, B, C, D, and E) were previously described in A1, A2, and A3. The East/West Radio Wake-up is an input from A3. The East and West Auxiliary inputs may be wired as shown in Figure 3-1 or to slide fence detectors, high water detectors, etc... These Auxiliary inputs must be "ON" in order to allow East Clear or West Clear signals to be sent to the radio. The Restore Request Output and the Stay Awake Output is processed in A4, and the four Radio Outputs are handled in A5.
The input signals to A7 consist of the Stay Awake signal and the four wake-up signals - East Track, West Track, East Radio/Test, and West Radio/Test. A7 contains the logic gating necessary to “OR” any of the four main flip-flops (the four wake-up signals) to the Power Supply Shutdown pin; the presence of any one of these signals will allow the MICROLOK II unit to turn on. The presence of the Stay Awake signal will keep the MICROLOK II unit up and running, even if the Master Reset signal is present, which would normally put the MICROLOK II unit in Sleep mode. Also in A7 is the Sleep astable oscillator circuit which turns ON and OFF a front panel Sleep LED every three seconds, as long as none of the four main flip-flops are set.
Five LED’s are located on the PCB front panel. These LED's are driven by the four wake-up signals and the Test signal.
4.2. Typical MICROLOK II Vital Sleep Mode Unit Operation
4.2.1. General Overview The information contained in this manual pertains to a typical MICROLOK II Vital Sleep Mode unit. For instance, the radios used in this description do not have to be used. The radios are external to the MICROLOK II unit, as long as the Sleep Mode PCB sees a physical input, it will work the same as it does in the following description. Remember that the following description is not a mandatory setup of the MICROLOK II Vital Sleep Mode; it’s just a "typical example".
The MICROLOK II Vital Sleep Mode is a user programmable broken rail detection system that is intended for dark territory as an aid for improving operational movement in these areas. MICROLOK II units are placed at each end of a track circuit. For a Sleep Mode application, MICROLOK II units at each location normally operate in the power down or sleep mode, drawing very little battery power. MICROLOK II units can be awakened to a functional state in one of two ways: either by a transmitted wake-up radio signal or through the rails in response to

a MICROTRAX track message. As a train approaches a track circuit that is equipped with MICROLOK II Sleep Mode units, the locomotive will awaken the MICROLOK II unit via radio signal (refer to Figure 4-2, MLK II A). After this unit has come out of reset, it will send a signal down the track to wake up the unit on the other end of the track circuit (refer to Figure 4-2, MLK II B). After a valid signal has been sent back and forth between these two units, the unit that was woken by the radio will return a signal back to the radio signifying the integrity of the rail. The radio that is connected to the MICROLOK II unit will then transmit this same message back to the locomotive. If rail integrity cannot be established, as would be the case with a broken rail, shunted track, or from auxiliary input status, means are provided to transmit a NOT CLEAR status. The Vital Sleep Mode system is designed for bi-directional train traffic.
Figure 4-2. System Block Diagram Wake-up can also be initiated via East and West push buttons on the Sleep Mode board. When awakened via the push buttons, operation is sustained for a time that is specified in the application program to allow time for trouble shooting. The Sleep operation can be restored to the MICROLOK II unit by cycling power OFF to ON.
Components for a typical Sleep Application will consist of radios on locomotives and at wayside locations in conjunction with a MICROLOK II unit. The MICROLOK II unit includes:
• A standard MICROLOK II CPU board, which holds the application logic
• A Power Supply board with CPS, and a VCOR Relay
• A MICROTRAX Track board
• MICROTRAX Track Panels
• An IN8.OUT8 board – an interface for the user to see how the MICROLOK II unit was awakened and to see which signals are sent back to the radio
• A Sleep Mode board – controls the power for the cardfile, interfaces with the radio and MICROTRAX Track board.

Additionally, the exact operation of the entire Sleep Mode controlled territory is user programmable. Based on the application logic, the units can be customized to wake-up each track circuit based on a radio request at each circuit; or once an end-unit is activated, it can begin the wake-up process for the entire territory. Either one status can be reported for the entire territory, or each circuit can report the status via a radio at each location. The MICROLOK II unit can transmit CLEAR and/or NOT CLEAR track integrity signals to the wayside radio, which will be transmitted back to the locomotive. These features are all specified within the application logic.
The MICROLOK II Sleep Mode unit can operate with trains traveling in areas without a passing side, in areas with a passing side, and in a user test mode (for troubleshooting purposes).
4.2.2. Activation Example
Figure 4-3. System Block Diagram – Traveling West to East Under normal circumstances, when a train is not in the area, all of the MICROLOK II units will be in a low power mode waiting instructions to verify the integrity of the track circuit. Assuming the train is approaching from the West (see Figure 4-3), as it approaches TK#1, a radio message from the train is sent to Radio #1 instructing MLK II A to check the status of TK#1. The radio message needs to be at least a one-second pulse in order for the MICROLOK II unit to wake up. MLK II A begins checking TK#1, which in turns activates MLK II B to also verify TK#1. When the status of TK#1 is determined by MLK II A, an output is delivered to Radio #1. After this indication is delivered to the radio, MLK II A and MLK II B will remain awake until MLK II A

has not received an input from Radio #1 within a period of time that is defined in the application by the user.
As the train approaches TK#2, a radio message is sent from the train to Radio #2 instructing MLK II B to check the status of TK#2. MLK II B begins checking TK#2 and sends a message to MLK II C, activating MLK II C to also verify TK#2. MLK II C will receive a wake signal from the track circuit, and MLK II C will respond to MLK II B saying that it verified the integrity of TK#2.When the status of TK#2 is determined by MLK II B, an output is delivered to Radio #2. This process will continue for each section of track.
While MLK II C is still awake, it can also receive a radio signal to verify the integrity of TK#2 for the opposite direction. MLK II C will remain awake and send a response to Radio #3, clarifying the integrity of TK#2.
The same rules apply, as in the previous paragraphs. As the train approaches TK#3, a radio message is sent from Radio #4 instructing MLK II D to check the status of TK#3. MLK II D begins checking TK#3, which in turn sends a message along the track to MLK II C while MLK II C is still awake. MLK II C will respond and send a return message to MLK II D, clarifying the integrity of TK#3.
The basic system will provide two Auxiliary inputs. One Auxiliary input will be for the East direction, and the second Auxiliary input will be for the West direction. For a unit to properly check the integrity of the track circuit, the Auxiliary input must be in a high state (in the ON position). If the Auxiliary input is in a low state, and the Wake Request is from the radio, the MLK II unit will respond to the radio with a NOT CLEAR output. If one of the Auxiliary inputs drops, the output to the radio will be a NOT CLEAR signal. If the MICROLOK II unit is sending a CLEAR signal to the radio, and the Auxiliary input drops, then the output to the radio will be a NOT CLEAR signal. If the MICROLOK II unit is sending a NOT CLEAR signal and the Auxiliary input is picked, then the output to the radio will be a CLEAR signal as long as the rail integrity can be established.
4.2.3. Travel with a Passing Siding – West to East Under normal circumstances, when a train is not in the area, all of the MICROLOK II units will be in a low power mode awaiting instructions to verify the integrity of the track circuit. Assuming the train is approaching from the West, as it approaches TK#1 (Figure 4-4), a radio message from the train is sent to Radio #1 instructing MLK II A to check the status of TK#1. The radio message will need to be at least a one-second pulse in order for the MICROLOK II unit to wake up. MLK II A begins checking TK#1, which in turns activates MLK II B to also verify TK#1. When the status of TK#1 is determined by MLK II A, an output is delivered to Radio #1. After this indication is delivered to the radio, MLK II A and MLK II B will remain awake until MLK II A has not received an input from Radio #1 within a period of time that is defined in the application by the user.
As the train approaches TK#2, a radio message is sent from the train to Radio #2 instructing MLK II B to check the status of TK#2. MLK II B begins checking TK#2, which in turns

MLK II C is still awake, it can also receive a radio signal to verify the integrity of TK#2 for the opposite direction. MLK II C will remain awake and send a response to Radio #3, clarifying the integrity of TK#2.
The same rules apply, as in the previous paragraph. As the train approaches TK#3, a radio message is sent from Radio #4 instructing MLK II D to check the status of TK#3. MLK II D begins checking TK#3, which in turn sends a message along the track to MLK II C while MLK II C is still awake. MLK II C will respond and send a return message to MLK II D, clarifying the integrity of TK#3.
4.2.4. Sleep Test Mode Enter TEST Mode by pressing a pushbutton on the SLEEP Board for the direction to be tested. The unit at the other end will wake-up automatically if everything is OK. The units will stay awake for a period of time that is defined in the application by the user.
If testing is complete, the operator can either let the units time out or turn the unit OFF and then back ON. This will remove the signal to the other units and they will go to sleep.
If the units are turned OFF, the operator must be aware of the following considerations:
1. If the MASTER (EAST) side is turned OFF, the SLAVE (WEST) end will stay awake for a period of time that is defined in the application by the user, after the SLAVE detects the loss of the signal on the track. There is a slight possibility of the SLAVE unit re-awakening the MASTER end if the MASTER side is turned off immediately after a message was transmitted, and then the MASTER was immediately turned back on. If this occurs, both units will be in TRACK WAKE-UP Mode. The application should be set up so that both units will remain awake until they determine that they are both in TRACK WAKE-UP mode, then they will go back to sleep.
2. If the SLAVE (WEST) side is turned OFF, the MASTER (EAST) end will stay awake for a period of time that is defined in the application by the user, after the MASTER detects the loss of the signal on the track. There is a higher possibility of the MASTER unit re-awakening the SLAVE end because, once the MASTER is awake, the MASTER unit will transmit every 6 seconds, unless the MASTER’s transmitter has been properly disabled in the application. If this occurs, both units will be in TRACK WAKE-UP Mode. The application should be set up so that both units will remain awake until they determine that they are both in TRACK WAKE-UP mode, then they will go back to sleep.
To prevent either unit from accidentally waking up the other unit after turning the power OFF then ON, leave the unit OFF for a period of time that will allow bits to change state which will put the MICROLOK II unit into Sleep mode; again this is dependent upon how the application is setup. This will allow the other end to go back to sleep after loss of communication.
