Low Power Requirements 8 to 24 VDC operating voltage range• 120 mA current draw for a 3-Detector system Ease of Installation Only two components, the Main Module and the Sensor/Bracket assembly • Sensor/ Bracket assembly bolts to the base of the rail. Eliminates drilling of the rail. • Sensors can be quickly and easily relocated by unbolting the Bracket and reinstalling in the desired location. • Spring cage connectors for ease of wire connections and reliability of the connection • Complete flexibility in the size and geometric lay out of the protected zone |

Designed for Use in Rugged Railroad Environments • Both the Main Module and the Wheel Sensor are totally encapsulated and sealed against contamination and water • Engineered to operate continuously at the shock and vibration levels encountered in rail applications. • Operating temperature range is –40°F to +185°F Maintenance Free • No tuning of the components at startup or at any time during operation • The system automatically compensates for changes in ambient conditions • Activating special operating characteristics is easily accomplished through a laptop comput- er operating in a Windows environment Enhanced Features • Missed wheel compensation • Includes both steady state and pulsed outputs to support “Auto-Line” or other functions • The Main Module will support up to 28 Wheel Sensors • The Wheel Sensors can be located up to 2,000 feet from the Main Module • The Wheel Sensors can be wired in a “daisy chain” fashion greatly simplifying cabling requirements |
