DO’S & DON’T
DO’S
 The inter connection drawings are to be followed for connecting the Transmitter &
Receiver coils. Tx1 is 21 KHz, Tx2 is 23 KHz & Rx1 and Rx2 coils are 21 KHz &
23 KHz, respectively.
 Ensure that Receiver and Transmitter coil cables have been laid in different pipes.
 Ensure that both the TX coils & 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
 The recommended cables for wiring of the system at site should be used.
 The steady Battery voltage 24V should be maintained.
 The cable connections should not be connected loosely.
 The M.S Circular connectors of SSDAC are checked and maintained firmly.
 The SSDAC & Reset box is provided with sealing arrangement. They should be
sealed at site.
 Resetting should be done only after ensuring that there is no train in the section
DON’T
 Don’t install the Axle detectors near the rail joint (should be more than
6 sleepers away).
 Don’t install the Axle detectors where the rail is badly worn out.
 Don’t cut or join the Transmitter / Receiver cables supplied along with
the coil. It would result in change of frequency of signal.
 Don’t lay the TX and RX coil cables in the same pipe.
 Don’t use any other outdoor cable other than the recommended
cables.
 Avoid installing the Axle detectors on curve of rail / too much slope of
rail to the possible extent.
 Don’t remove the cards from SSDAC units under power ON condition
of system.
 Remove card if necessary after Switching OFF the power to the unit.

 Error 0x30: link between the two SSDAC units should be checked.
 Error 0x40, 0x41, 0x42: the communication media between the local and
remote units should be checked for noise or other interfering element.
 Surge Devices to be checked
 Error 0x3F, 0x7F: reset operation for the local and/or remote unit should
be proper
 Error 0x80: remote unit should be checked and analyzed for error
 HARDWARE SYNCHRONIZATION RELATED ERRORS
 Error 0x60, 0x62: Reset the system. If problem persists, MLB cards
should be replaced
