Portable Train-completeness-, brake- and derailment-monitor

Rear Unit GPS_2

General

The new INTELETRACK TELEMETER is an end-of-train monitor system. The system measures the air-brake pressure or vacuum at the end of the train and transmits the information to the driver in the cab via a radio link. A complete telemeter system consists of a cab unit mounted or stowed in the cab of a train where the crew operates and a rear unit mounted with a clamp on the last wagon of the train.

Rear unit GPS_2 description


The rear unit consists of a microprocessor, radio modem, radio, pressure transducer, GPS, side mounting style clamp and an integral antenna. The Pressure transducer can measure both air brake pressure and vacuum. If the air-pressure changes more than 10 kPa or the vacuum changes more than 5 kPa, a message is immediately sent to the cab unit every time it changes. If the pressure or vacuum is stable, the cab unit’s display is updated every 30 seconds. A rear unit will operate with a cab unit as long as the rear unit’s ID is setup in the cab unit. This set up cab unit will then operate with the rear unit as a matched pair. All the Telemeters operate on a single frequency. The rear unit consists of a flashing LED indicator that makes the rear unit visible and indicates that it is switched on.

The INTELETRACK Telemeter system is designed to be a simple, rugged and reliable system. The clamp on the rear unit can fit on all the known types of buffers in Southern Africa. Maintenance is done by changing modules.
