	A detector rail becomes [[Minecraft:Detector Rail#Block states\|powered]] when any part of any minecart's [[Minecraft:bounding box]] comes into contact with it. Every 20th [[Minecraft:Tick\|game tick]] after the rail first becomes powered, it checks whether any minecart is still present and depowers if there are none in contact at that time. This means that the duration of the signal is always a multiple of 20 game ticks (10 redstone ticks).
