Maintenance of
Az LS
Eldyne Single Section Digital Axle Counter
1.1 Introduction
The AzLS system consists of at least two detection points Zp30CA-2, one at each end (entry
& exit) of the track section to be monitored. It consists of following parts:
(a) Outdoor Trackside system consisting of
(i) Rail contacts (SK30H) - It consists of two coil sets Sk1 and Sk2, both installed on the
same rail. The transmitter heads (Tx) are installed on the outside of the rail and receiver
heads (Rx) are installed on the inside of the rail directly opposite the respective Tx heads.
The two Tx coils are fed with different frequencies (approx. 30.6 kHz and 28 kHz). The
SK30H is fitted by three bolts to the web of the rail. The vertical position of the
respective mounting holes depends on the rail profile.
(ii) Track-Side Electronic Unit (EAK).
SK30H and EAK together form one detection point Zp30CA-2.
Each Tx/Rx head is equipped with fixed cables for connection to the electronic junction
box (EAK30H). (available in lengths 4m, 5.5m and 8m)
(b) Communication Link (A pair of star quad cable)
(c) Reset Relay (1000 ohm AC immunized Q series)
(d) Vital Relay (1000 Ohm AC immunized Q series 24 V 8F/8B)
1.2 Fixing of track devices after replacement of rail
Drill the mounting holes on the rail web in correct position as per following approximation
formula:
a = (0.409 * h), where a = height of the mounting hole, h = height of the rail

1.4 Adjustment of Rail contact Tx head with Dummy wheel and Tool Kit
The Tx head is adjusted such that the received rectified voltage produced when a wheel is
present has the same amplitude but the opposite polarity as the voltage produced with the
wheel absent.
A dummy wheel is required for the adjustment of the rail contact.
On main lines the dummy wheel is normally set to 40mm.
During adjustments the dummy wheel must be kept vertically at the centre of Rx
heads.(Fig.).

c) Rx voltage (MESSAB1) for SK1: This should be positive without dummy wheel. After
placing the dummy wheel on Rx1 vertically on the center, the MESSAB1 voltage should
be negative. In ideal condition and for proper adjustment of rail contact, MESSAB1
voltage without dummy wheel should be equal to the MESSAB1 voltage with dummy
wheel but having an opposite polarity. The value of MESSAB1 should be within 80mV
to 1000mV depending upon the drill position and rail profile.
d) Rx voltage (MESSAB2) for SK2: Same as that for Rx voltage (MESSAB1) for SK1.
e) Reference voltage for SK1 (PEGUE1): This is made equal (or 2%) to the value of
MESSAB1 as measured without the dummy wheel.
f) Reference voltage for SK2 (PEGUE2): Same as that for Reference voltage for SK1
(PEGUE1).
Voltage & Frequency of Tx heads
The voltage and frequency of the transmitter heads are to be measured by true RMS
Multimeter only. For this purpose additional probe set is provided with ETU001. These
readings can be taken at connector terminals S1 & S2 of both Sk1 & Sk2 inside EAK.
Fig. 1.10 : Connector terminals of AzLS Track side Electronic Unit EAK for measurement
of voltage and frequency
Checking of Power supply voltage to EAK
Recommended power supply for EAK is 21.5 V DC to 28.8 V DC (for 24V version) and
54 120VDC (for 60 120V version). Measure the power supply voltage fed to the track
side electronic unit with the meter and the probe set directly to the power supply connector
terminals 2 (+) & 18 (-).

1.8 Adjustment procedure
Connect the test equipment to the diagnostic port of EAK as shown in fig.1.13
Steps to adjust the rectified voltage
MESSAB1
Put Selector Switch to position 4.
Measure the rectified voltage with and without dummy wheel.
Turn Potentiometer R2 on the Analog board to positive max.
The rectified voltage without dummy wheel must be set to positive maximum.
If there is a big difference between the positive value and the negative value, move the
Tx heads upward or downward along the serration and adjust to optimum position.
Taking the transmitter head upwards increases the negative voltage and decreases the
positive voltage and vice versa.
Adjust using Pot. R2 such that rectified voltage with and without dummy wheel are
absolute equal (equal but having opposite polarity). Tolerance <=30mV.
After getting the positive and negative voltages within the above specified tolerance limit
tighten the transmitter head properly with the torque wrench set at 25 Nm.
Fig.1.13: Connection of tool kit to diagnostic port of EAK for measurement of parameters
Trolley suppression
For Trolley suppression to be effective, the positive voltage (without dummy wheel) should
be greater than the negative voltage (with dummy wheel) by a value not less than 30 mV so
that the rectified Rx voltage does not go to negative with the specified trolley wheel. It is
recommended that the adjustment should be done using a spoke trolley wheel that is
normally used in the section.

MESSAB2
Repeat the above procedure for MESSAB2 (using Selector Switch position 7, and
Potentiometer R4 on the Analog board).
PEGUE1
Put Selector Switch to position 5
Measure voltage
Adjust using potentiometer R1 on analog board such that
MESSAB1(without dummy wheel) Tolerance +-2%
PEGUE1 =
PEGUE2
Repeat for PEGUE2 using Selector Switch position 8 and potentiometer R3 such that
PEGUE2 = MESSAB2 (without dummy wheel) Tolerance +-2%.
1.9 Reset Box
ERBS-02 is the reset box for Alcatels Single/Double Section Digital Axle Counter
ZP30CA-2 (AzLS). This provides the basic resetting pulse (24VDC) for reset relay, which is
used for a polarity reversal of power supply to the EAK (the track side electronic unit) for
approximately 3 seconds. The front panel of the terminal consists of:
1. Reset Key
2. Push Switch
3. Reset Counter
4. Power ON indication YELLOW LED
5. Preparatory Reset indication GREEN LED
6. Line Verification Indication YELLOW LED
7. Section Clear / Unoccupied indication GREEN LED
8. Section Closed / Occupied indication RED LED
Additionally a buzzer is provided to give audio indication that the 3 second reset pulse is on.
Fig. 1.14.: Front panel of AzLS

1.10 Steps to initiate a reset
1. Insert the KEY, turn it clockwise and then push. Simultaneously, insert and turn the
Cooperative SMs key if provided. (H & R are to be shorted at selection jumper J1 on
PCB if the Cooperation / Line verification is required otherwise P & R are to be shorted).
2. While KEY is in turned position press the Reset Push Button for a specific section
momentarily.
3. BUZZER sounds for 3 seconds and then stops.
4. Turn back the KEY anti-clockwise and take out.
February 2013
12
Each reset is registered in the sealed reset COUNTER unit. The count increases by one after
each reset commanded by the operator.
1.11 Types of resetting for AzLS
AzLS V1.1 provides four types of reset:
1. Single point preparatory reset (for berthing section)
This reset does not clear the section immediately. It is sufficient that one of the detection
points of the relevant section receives a preparatory reset. After carrying out the preparatory
reset, a train must pass through the section on caution running conditions. Only then the
section will be cleared.
2. Two point co-operative preparatory reset (for block section)
The reset command is to be applied to both detection points within one hour. If this time
elapses, the reset command is rejected. The other conditions are same as given in clause 1
above.
3. Single point hard reset (for point zone)
It is sufficient that one of the detection points of the relevant section receives a hard reset. In
addition to this pressing and turning of verification switch is required. The hard reset clears
the section immediately.
4. Two point Co-operative hard reset
The two point hard reset is initiated through individual external relay circuits which reverse
the polarities of the supply voltages to at least two detection points of the section.
1.12 Check points for maintenance
Carry out visual inspection of trackside equipment i.e. EAK, rail contacts and integral
cables (connecting leads), earthing etc.
Check physically whether the rail contacts and cabling including earthing connections
are proper.
Ensure that Tx heads are clear of rail.
Ensure the proper size and tightness of deflectors and that these are fitted at least 250
mm away from rail contacts (Tx/Rx coils).
Ensure for proper fixing of Track side connection box (EAK) on the mushroom base
plate and all 4 nos. screws are tight.
Ensure that cable armours are properly earthed in location box.
Check for proper spacing (min. 350 mm) and packing of sleepers on which track
devices are fitted.
Check that the earthing connection of mushroom cover/apparatus case is intact and in
good condition, the earth lead wire and nut connecting earth wire etc. are not
corroded.
Check that cable pairs used are properly dressed and terminated in such a way that no
conductors remain exposed and check that no individual conductor are made spiral.
These should be twisted in pair to improve EMC.
February 2013
13
Check that mushroom cover is properly fixed and there should be no possibility for
entry of rain water.
Check the input voltage at location box/EAK keeping the charger OFF for at least 15
min. Voltage at location box/EAK should not go below 21.5 V for 24 V EAK and 54
V for 60 V EAK.
Check ripple voltage of power supply at EAK, it should not exceed 10 mv peak to
peak.
Check rectified voltage (with dummy wheel) and reference voltages are within limit.
Check the cards are in proper position and both analog and digital cards are fitted
firmly in their corresponding slot.
Measure the earth resistance and paint its value on earth enclosures/nearest wall. If
required take suitable steps to improve the earth resistance. It should be less than 1
Ohm.
1.13 Dos & Donts

For reduction in temperature, paint the inside and outside of mushroom cover (apparatus
case for EAK) with temperature retardant paint (white).
Note: The newly fabricated mushroom covers are supplied with a coating of paint on
inside and outside faces by the manufacturer hence painting is not required.
Always use 13mm high speed drill bit to drill holes on rail web.
Place foam packings between top of the Digital/Analog cards and dust cover to avoid
loosening due to vibrations. (As per practice in BPL division W.C.Rly.)
Tighten M8 bolts (on transmitter heads) with torque of 25Nm and M12 bolts (to fix rail
contact on rail web) with torque of 45Nm. Torque greater than specified value will break
the bolts and torque less than specified value will make the rail contact loosely fitted.
The rail contact integral cables must be free to loop near the Tx-Rx heads. Therefore the
protective hose must not be fitted up to the rail contact. Otherwise the rail contact integral
cables may get damaged by the rigid hose because of short bending radius.
Fig. 1.15.: (a) Correct installation (b) Incorrect installation with short bending radius
February 2013

Never use any kind of hand spanner to fix the rail contact bolts. Use only torque
wrench.
Fig. 1.16.:

To set the addresses of detection point computers, use ball-point pen never use pencil.
During adjustment of MESSAB voltage set the corresponding potentiometers at positive

maximum. After that try to avoid using the potentiometer adjust voltage by
repositioning the Tx heads.
Never set the addresses while the detection point is live.
Never plug in or pull out the analog card and digital/ISDN (evaluator) card while the
detection point is live.
Avoid any kind of loops in the rail contact cables.
Fig. 1.17.: Sketch showing correct and incorrect ways of rail contact cable laying
The rail contact cable wires must be twisted in pairs to improve EMC.
To earth the rail contact cable screen, remove the cable insulation for a length of
maximum 45mm from the end of cable. Never remove insulation from any other part of
cable.

Armour of quad cable connecting DP to location and location to relay room should be
earthed at relay room only.
Ensure that twisted pairs of quad cable remain twisted right upto the terminals, no
coiling to be done.
Take all the measurements whenever the DP is adjusted.

2.5 Power Data Coupling Unit (PDCU)

PDCU is the interface between outdoor equipment (Detection Point) and indoor equipment
(ACE). It has a superimposing circuit for using same conductor for power and data. One
PDCU is used for one detection point only.
There is a 315mA fuse inside the PDCU. The power to the EAK goes through this fuse and if
it is blown then there will be no power at detection point and a red LED within the PDCU
will glow. PDCUs are to be installed on 35mm DIN rail.
Where local power supply is used to feed the EAK, the superimposed power and data is not
used. In that case, the PDCU should be used for isolation of communication line and only
connector no. 4, 5 and 14, 15 are used.

3.4 Power Supply

Following power supplies are required for functioning of the Axle Counter equipment:
5 V DC for internal operation
70 V DC for external operation of max. five counting heads
The counting heads can also be supplied with power directly from an on-site external
voltage source via an additional band-pass filter board (in the ZP 43 WDE).
3.5 Reset Options
For resetting of Az S 350 U two methods are used for resetting the system:
Immediate axle count reset
Preparatory axle count reset
3.5.1 Immediate axle count reset
With this type of reset, the track vacancy detection section is immediately indicated as
being clear after the axle count reset button (AzGrT) has been pressed, provided that no
reset restriction (RR) is active. A reset restriction is active if the last axle registered by the
axle counting system has been counted in. If a reset restriction is active, operation of the
AzGrT button has no effect. The reset restriction can be cancelled by a relief operator
action using the auxiliary axle count reset button (AzGrH). Actuation of the AzGrT
button must be in conjunction with co-operation (by pressing and turning line verification
key) from another agency after verifying that the track section in question is clear.
3.5.2 Preparatory axle count reset
With this type of reset, the track vacancy detection section in question is not immediately
indicated as being clear after pressing the preparatory axle count reset button (vAzGrT). It
only causes the axle count of the track vacancy detection section to be reset to 'zero'. A
clear indication is issued only after passage of a subsequent train over the track vacancy
detection section by piloting.
3.5.3 Technical requirements for Successful AzGrT or vAzGrT Operation
A successful reset of a track vacancy detection section (TVDS) requires that no reset
restriction (RR) is effective.
February 2013
3.5.4 Reset restriction

Depending on the configuration, the reset restriction is set according to different
parameters. There might be a reset restriction, if one of the following is true:
Pulse detection by a counting head belonging to the TVDS:

There is an axle on or oscillating over the double wheel detector.
The power supply of the counting heads is faulty.
The double wheel detector or double wheel detector cable connections are faulty.
Counting heads of the TVDS have been traversed within the last six seconds.
The last test of switching capability (internal software test SOPP) of the data
channels on the VAU board has not been successful.
The axle last recorded by the evaluation computer in a track vacancy detection
section is an axle counted in.

3.7 Dos & Donts
The MOS components mounted on the circuit boards of the wheel detection equipment
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge from charged persons or equipment. When
handling these boards, the following rules must be observed:
All parts of the wheel detection equipment may be carrying an interference voltage.
Therefore, always connect the measuring leads for connecting the probe adapter board
and the measuring equipment to the measuring equipment first and then insert them
into the measuring sockets of the probe adapter board.
Do not touch any metal parts of the measuring leads if they are connected to the wheel
detection equipment.
Hold the boards only by the long sides (guide edges), front panel, locking or
designation plate holder.
Keep the boards in their original protective packaging until they are installed in the
wheel detection equipment.
Do not touch circuit board terminals, conductors, components or plug connectors.
In all adjustment work, the double wheel detector must be in the uninfluenced state
(no wheels or other metal objects in the vicinity).

3.9 Switching the Evaluation Computer On and Off

Switching ON
Restarting an evaluation computer means switching on all computer channels either for the
first time or after a fault.
Set the switches of the power supply boards to "I".
Simultaneously press the red buttons (system reset) on both VAU boards of both
computer channels for approx. 1 sec., the LED "ANL" must light up on both VAU
boards for approx. 3 sec.
After the LED "ANL" on the VAU boards has gone off, the LED "VGL" will light up.
During computer start-up, all LEDs 0 to 11 on the STEU boards light up for max. 10
sec. As soon as the LEDs change to normal display, the evaluation computer is
operable (LED 0 shows steady light).
When an evaluation computer is restarted, it is guaranteed that all track vacancy
detection sections are first indicated as being "occupied" and displayed accordingly. In
accordance with the configured reset type (AzGrT or vAzGrT) and the railway
regulations the authorised person must then perform the axle count reset. No train
movement should be carried out during this procedure.

5.10 Resetting Procedure
The procedure for reset for the different configurations is described in the following
paragraphs.
The reset box is wired to SSDAC system through a repeater relay named as VPR. The
repeater relay in the relay room repeats the status of the vital relay of the SSDAC system.
For all SSDAC system configurations the same reset circuit can be used.
(i) Reset procedure for 2DP1S system
The SSDAC-2DP1S system allows reset from stationmaster whenever system is powered
on or system/section enter error mode or unbalanced with occupied LED glowing, but no
hardware failures. SSDAC-SF and SSDAC-EF need reset from station A and station B.
Under this condition, reset is possible only if preparatory and vital relay are in deenergize/drop state. The following procedure is adopted for resetting a 2DP1S system:
Stationmaster A inserts and turns the SM key and press the reset button
simultaneously.
Preparatory LED start blinking and LCD displays Reset Applied in the position of
remote DP status indicating that reset is pressed.
Stationmaster B inserts and turns the SM key and presses the reset button
simultaneously.
After SSDAC-SF and SSDAC-EF communication is successful both the systems
enter the preparatory mode with preparatory LED glowing in the reset box at station
A and station B and the counter gets incremented by 1.
The LCD displays Wait For Pilot Train in both Local and remote DP status
position.
Now the pilot train is allowed in the section to balance the section. On successful
piloting of train with minimum of two axles as Incounts and Out-counts, section gets
balanced.
February 2013
The section goes through reset operation and vital relays of SSDAC-SF and SSDAC
EF energize/pickup. Occupied LEDs goes off and clear LEDs glow at both station A
and station B.
Reset procedure is now completed and SSDAC-2DP1S section is ready for train
movements.
(ii) Reset Procedure for 3DP1S (Hard Reset)

SSDAC-3DA, SSDAC-3DB and SSDAC-3DC will need reset from station. The
following procedure is adopted for resetting a 3DP1S system:
Stationmaster physically verifies that the section is clear and operates line verification
switch and line verification LED glows in the reset box indicating that there is no train in
the section.
Stationmaster inserts and turns the SMs key and presses the reset button simultaneously.
SSDAC-3DP1S Unit A, SSDAC-3DP1S Unit B and SSDAC-3DP1S Unit C system goes
through the reset operation and vital relay picks-up/energizes.
Counter gets incremented by 1. Occupied LED switch off and clear LED glows.
Reset procedure is now completed and SSDAC-3DP1S section is in balanced mode ready
for train movements.
(iii) Reset Procedure for 3DP-2S (Preparatory Reset)
SSDAC-SF, SSDAC-CF and SSDAC-EF need reset from station A and station B. Under
this condition, reset is possible only if preparatory and vital relay are de-energize/drop.
The following procedure has to be followed:
Reset Procedure for Section A
Station A stationmaster insert and turns the SM key and presses the reset button of
reset box in station A simultaneously for section A.
Now, Preparatory LED starts blinking indicating that reset is initiated at station A for
section A.

simultaneously of reset box in station B for section A.
After, communication of reset status between SF and CF unit of section A is
successful, Preparatory LED of section A at Station A and at station B glows steadily
indicating that section A is in preparatory mode and ready for piloting.
The pilot train is allowed in the section A to balance the section. On successful
piloting of train with minimum of two axles and matching of In-counts and Outcounts of section A system gets balanced.
Now, section As vital relays are picked up/energize indicating balanced mode and
ready for train movements.
Reset procedure for Section B
Station A stationmaster insert and turns the SM key and presses the reset button
simultaneously of reset box in station A for section B.
Preparatory LED starts blinking indicating reset operation at station A for section B.
February 2013
Station B stationmaster insert and turns the SM key and presses the reset button
simultaneously of reset box in station B for section B.
After, communication of reset status between EF and CF unit of section B is
successful. Preparatory LED of section B at Station A and at station B glows steadily

5.12 Precautions
Maintain 24 V DC supply between 22V & 26V DC at the terminals of the system
always.
Use 120 AH battery with axle counter type charger to take care of severe interruption
of 230 V mains supply.
Ensure good earthing with an earth resistance of 1 to 2 ohms by providing parallel or
special earth.
The entry of cables at the location box is to be filled with sand and sealed with
Bitumen compound without any gaps for preventing the entry of rats.
To avoid damage of web mounted detector coils due to track repair work or tie
tamping machine, ensure that only careful manual activity is performed on the portion
where the detectors are mounted.
Suitable warning board may be erected on either side of the detector coil not
infringing with the schedule of dimensions with the approval of competent authority.
For push trolleys, avoid solid wheels. Instead use spoked wheel.
After power ON, check that amber LEDs on PD cards do not glow under no wheel
condition. If they glow, interchange Rx wire connections of the module (21/25 KHz)
to put off the LEDs. Amber LEDs shall glow undr wheel presence.
5.13 Dos & Donts
Dos
Always follow interconnection drawings for connecting the Transmitter and Reciever
Coils.(Tx1-21 KHz, Tx2-25KHz, Rx1-21 KHz, Rx2-25 KHz).
Ensure that Receiver and Transmitter coil cables have been laid in different pipes.
Ensure that both the Tx coils and Rx coils are having proper alignment on rail.
Ensure that packing of sleepers with ballast on both sides of axle detector is proper.
Check that metal sheaths of the outdoor cable are connected to earth at both ends.
Use only the recommended cables for wiring of the system at site.
Maintain steady battery voltage of 24 V DC
Check MS coupler connectors of SSDAC system and maintain firmly.
February 2013
11
Preparatory Resetting should be done only after ensuring that there is no train in the
section.
It is recommended that heat resisting paint to be used on the apparatus case so that the
temperature inside apparatus case is maintained lower in comparison to normal
paints.
Place Caution Board near the SSDAC Axle Detectors to avoid damage to the coils
from packing machines.
Provide Deflector plates near the SSDAC Axle Detectors to avoid damage to the coils
from hanging parts of trains.
Use spoked wheels for push trolleys in place of solid wheels to avoid error in SSDAC
system.
Donts
Do not connect the cable connections loosely.
Dont cut or join the Transmitter/Receiver cables supplied along with the coil. It
would result in change of input Receiver signal.
Dont remove the modules from SSDAC system under Power ON condition. Remove
the modules if necessary after switching OFF the power to the SSDAC system.
Local address of CPU-1, CPU-2 and configuration settings of the SSDAC system
should not be changed at the field.
When section is in Occupied/Preparatory mode, Motor trolley wheel, Push trolley
with solid mass wheel and Material trolley wheel must not be allowed to Enter/Exit
the section to avoid SSDAC system going to Error condition.
