|
TYPE A - Application for rail crossings with exisiting lights in place.
- Additional protection for crossings already fitted with lights
- Transmitter on crossing linked to existing lights/bells activation system.
- Reciever/Decoder in road user's vehicle activates hazard warning light on dashboard alerting driver.
- Easy to install.
- Fail-safe Transmitter unit.
- Coded signal prevents false alarms.
- Lights/bells on their own only reduceaccidents by 50%.
- Cost-effective protection.
TYPE B - Application for Rail Crossing for horn activated warning.
- Low-cost protection for currently unprotected crossings.
- Transmitter on locomotives activated on approach to crossing (eg: by horn-pull)
- Receiver/Decoder in road user's vehicle activates hazard warning light on dashboard, alerting driver.
- Easy to install.
- Fail-safe Transmitters.
- Coded signal prevents false alarms.
TYPE C - Application for a rail crossing with dual transmission
- Low-cost protection for currently unprotected crossings.
- Transmitter on locomotive sends separate signal to specialised Receiver/Decoder at crossings, which then activates standard EV-Alert transmitter to warn of locomotive's approach.
- Transmitter on locomotive is permanently activated - no manual intervention.
- Receiver/Decoder in road user's vehicle activates hazard warning light on dashboard, alerting driver.
- Also warns track crew equipped with special Receiver/Decoder.
- Easy to install.
- Fail-safe Transmitters
- Coded signal prevents false alarms.
TYPE D - Application for rail crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Low-cost protection for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Transmitter on locomotives.
- Receiver/Decoder on crossing activates warning lights (strobe or LED), or barriers.
- Solar-powered - no mains supply provision or running cost.
- Easy to install.
- Coded signal prevents false alarms.
- Various configurations available.
TYPE E - Application for rail crossings in the setting for private/industrial or agricultural.
- Low-cost active warning of trains approach
- Lower specification than AS/ARA requirements.
- Red or Amber warning lights.
- Single or Double units.
- Transmitter on Locomotives.
- Receiver/Decoder on light unit.
- Low installation and running cost on solar.
TYPE F - Application for rail crossing fitted with a Trackside detector/Transmitter.
- For specialised applications when Transmitters cannot be fitted to all track vehicles and secure remote sensing of train approach required.
- Can also be used for siding and junction differentiation.
- Provides roadside warning lights &/or in-vehicle warning.
- Range adjustable (normally 300 - 600 m)
- Detectors can be away from crossing or at crossing aimed up and down the track.
- False alarm protection.
