SECTI:)N ! GENERAL INFORMATION !NTROOUCTION This manual provides service information for the PC-250P plug-in relay. The PC-250P relay is a magnetic stick code following relay designed for transmitting •corrected code•. It is operated from a PC-250TR code generating relay and is controlled through its own contacts. This •corrected code• does not change and therefore contact wear on the code generator is compensated or •corrected•. The design of the PC-250P relay conforms to all applicable AAR specifications. 1. 2 OESCRii?TI ON 1. 2 .1 General The PC-250P relay is a magnetic stick relay, in which the armature always remains at full-stroke in its last energized position. When deenergized the relay will be at •Normal• (contacts closed left) if the last applied polarity was as indicated on the mounting base. It will be at •Reverse• (contacts closed right) if the opposite polarity was last applied. The relay is factory calibrated to operate across a wide environmental range. All moving parts are enclosed in a sturdy, transparent, dust and moisture resistant cover. To ensure the relay is inserted in its proper mounting base, tt relays have indexing pins. Relays lock securely into the plug-in position. 1.2 .2 Coils Coil resistances of PC-250P relays are (depending on part number) 180/180 or 20/20 ohms. Refer to paragraph 1.3.l to correlate part numbers to coil resistance values. The resistance selected depends on the system voltage and circuitry. l. 2. 3 con tac ts The PC-250P is made with various combinations of low-voltage silver-platinum and high voltage tungsten contacts. t.v. contacts are indicated by green markings · on the contact post members in the relay, while H.V. contacts are indicated by red markings. 1.3 SPECIFICATIONS ·rhe Eollowing patagtaphs provide the electrical and mechanical s~ecifications of the PC-2SOP code following relays covered in this manual. 4570-A, p. 1 ffi ffi UNION SWITCH & SIGNAL l. 3. l E:lectri.c.J.l Relay electrical speciEications are tabulated below.

Ff APPLICABLE INFORMATION = t..V. Contacts - Two types of contacts are available in the PC-250'? Relays: r..v. and H.V. The r..v. is silver platinum to silver platinum for use in circuits below SO volts. The H.V. is tungsten to tungsten for use in circuits above 50 volts to provide longer contact life. However, the tungsten contacts cannot be employed in low voltage circuits due to th~ contact resistance which they develop. 1.3 .2 Mechanical T~e following mechanical specifications are common to all PC-250P relays covered in t!iis manual.

OTHER 1'1i:SE, A HAZARD WILL BE CREATED WHICH MAY COMPROMISE SA~ETY CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS. 2.4 RECEPTACLE CONTACT SPRINGS 2.4.l Old Style Base Only The N382316 mounting base will normally be equipped with the required quantity of J680165 solderless receptacle contact springs, and will accommodate one or two tl4 or 116 wires. It can, however, be equipped with receptacle contact springs for one or two ilO or 112 wires (J680181), or for one or two 118 or !20 wires (J680179). Make certain which type of solderless receptacle contact springs accompany the mounting base before proceeding with their installation. 2.4.2 Improved One Piece Base Only The new one piece mounting base with hardware includes a full complement of receptacle contact springs (M451142-2702) to accommodate one or two il4-Jl6 wires, mounting fasteners, and tags. rt can, however, be equipped with receptacle contact springs for one or two JlO-tl2 wires {M45ll42-2701l, or for one oc two tlS-t20 (M45ll42-2701). Make certain which type of solderless receptacle contact springs accompany the mounting base before proceeding with their installation. Each solderless receptacle contact spring should be inspected for physical damage before proceeding with installation. The following is recommended when installing solderless receptacle contact springs: a. ~eceptacle contact springs must be inserted into the base with the lock side down or lanced tab up (Refer to Figure 2). b. ~ake certain that the lanced tab is slightly compressed as the receptacle contact spring is inserted along the top of the cavity. The lanced tab could have been bent during ~andling, and therefore would not provide the required contact pressure after the relay is insetted. tf the lanced tab does not touch, pull it u9 slightly using fingers or a suitable tool. c. ~fter insertion, pull firmly on the wire to make certain the rece?tacle contact spring is locked in the cavity. 4570-i\, p. 4 UNION SWITCH & SIGNAl.

Strip 3/16 in. (0.187 in. oc 0.47 cm.) of insulation from the end of the wire. b. Place the receptacle contact spring into the jaws of the peeper crimping tool. When using only one terminal, of any wire size, use the shortest terminal. c. Partially close the crimping tool jaws against. the receptacle contact spring to hold it in place. (Do not crush the receptacle contact spring barrel at this time.) d. rnsert the strip;,ed end of wire all the way into the receptacle contact spring barrel. squeeze the tool handles until crimping is completed and the jaws celease. When using both terminals, it is more convenient to attach the first wire to the longest terminal. e. Remove the crimped receptacle contact spring from the tool and inspect the connection. ~ake certain that the wice is flush with the crimped barrel and that there are no loose strands of wice. RELAY !~SERT!ON Orient the relay to the mounting base with the name plate right side up; then plug the celay into the base. The relay should be pushed firmly against the mounting base while depressing the latch rod. After the relay is completely seated in the base, release the latch rod and pull on the handle to ensure that the relay has locked in place. 4570-.~, p. 6 UNION SWITCH & SIGNAL ffi SECTIUN HI FIELU MAlN'rENANC.S 3 • .!.-- ..cN'l'.t<.OOOC'£lON '1'nJ..s sect.i.on provides tne necessary perioaic preventJ..11e maintenance proceaures wnJ..ch must be performea to ensure continuous, proper, and efticient operacJ..on ot the l?C-2SOP stJJ..e reiays coverea in this manual..
