The latest type is the SK30H type, which is backward compatible with the SK30 but with different voltage tolerances (MESSAB and PEGUE). If SK30 or SK30H heads are fitted to bullhead rail a flux plate shall also be fitted with them to obtain the correct phase reversal voltages.

This is done by removing the fuse feeding the rack. Test Equipment There are certain items of specialist equipment required to complete all the testing on axle counter equipment; these are as follows: a) Dummy Wheel (Part of Alcatel Test Unit). b) Counting Test Unit (Not Essential). c) Alcatel Test Unit. d) ZP30 (silver suitcase). e) Lineside Test Switch Box (use with electronic meter). f) Axle Counter Test Box (AzLM series).

The count in and out information is processed in the evaluator, which feeds an output to a TPR. The different types are listed below: AzL70 Single Rail Contacts: This is the earliest type of the AzL70 series and is a two rail system (SK11 rail contacts on the 6ft and cess rails) with a stagger between the two rail contacts. The stagger distance is chosen by the manufacture to ensure the system can detect trains travelling at the highest specified speed. This distance must not be altered from its original setting, if due to rail creep the stagger distance alters; arrangements must be made to correct it. The rail contacts are connected to the evaluator via a four wire cable, the TX frequencies for each count head are the same thus the signals are sent back on separate wires to an AzL70 evaluator. The lineside junction box is an EAK unit that does not have pluggable circuit cards. AzL70 Double Rail Contacts: This is a one rail version with SK30 rail contacts. Both of the rail contacts fixed to one rail (usually the cess). Again they are staggered but with both attached to one mounting plate the distance between them is pre-defined therefore rail creep is not a problem. The lineside junction box is an EAK30 unit having pluggable cards. This unit enables signals of different frequencies to be sent along a common cable pair (a two-wire transmission system) to an AzL70 evaluator with amended configuration strapping. AzL70/30 High Frequency Double Rail Contacts: This is a single rail version with SK30 rail contacts. It uses an EAK30 lineside junction box with a two-wire transmission system to an AzL70/30 evaluator which has a different card configuration to the previous types. AzL70/30S Voice Frequency Double Rail Contacts: This is similar to the previous system but the outputs from the EAK30 units are at a lower frequency, therefore some of the cards in the EAK30 and evaluator are slightly different. Because of the variations in type and updates that have occurred it is important that you check the part codes on any cards before replacing them. Although the cards might look the same and have the same name if the codes are different you shall NOT interchange them. AzL70 Evaluator This evaluator is used on both the AzL70 one and two rail versions. Because of the EAK30 unit on the one rail contact system the evaluator although the same type for both systems has a different strapping configuration to handle the different frequencies involved.

The reset restrictions have also been revised (GRDFR in place of FRMKTR). The other cards in the system perform similar functions as in the AzL70. All Evaluators The count indicator board (ZIANZG) provides indication only, it is not required for operation of the axle counter system therefore you may find that not all evaluators at a site are fitted with them. Lineside Junction Boxes (EAK) The cable cores (from the rail contact cables) from the cable clamp to the terminations in the EAK shall be twisted together between these points. This is to reduce signal loss. AzL90-4 Series These are single rail microprocessor based systems, which uses the EAK30C electronic junction box. The rail contacts are the same as in the AzL70/30 series. The axle counting is achieved within the junction box itself using micro computers and the data count is sent coded to an evaluator which is designed as a ‘two out of three’ computer system on similar lines to SSI. Because the ‘counting’ is achieved within the EAK30C junction box, two or more of these will form a track section. Multiple track sections can then be fed to the evaluator for processing on to electronic interlockings. ATj uhzneLcsMtieo nSa erbero isexi)sm.
