Trackside Enclosures

Keep sensitive equipment secure and operational

Polycarbonate, GRP and Aluminium Enclosures are used to securely

house a range of electrical technologies including Vibration

Monitoring, Joint Temperature and Track Temperature Monitoring

equipment – providing protection from the elements and

vandalism.

 

Platform Screen Doors

Problem: Subject to demanding operation cycles, detection

switches must perform dependably and comply with strict platform

regulations

Solution: Use a positive drive limit switch (Bernstein I88), with 10

x 10⁶ operational life expectancy and zero halogen construction

(UL94-VO)

Helps to: prevent disruption to the widespread operation of the

network system

Blind-Spot Safety Sensors

Problem: Trains departing with objects trapped in closed doors (e.g

children’s reins)

Solution: Fit retroreflective sensor (Bernstein Photoelectric sensor

OR20) across door openings to indicate to train drivers if areas are

free of obstacles

Helps to: Prevent injury or loss of life

Position Monitoring

Problem: Used within a small aperture on regular operation cycles,

the detection switches must perform dependably and comply

within trainborne requirements

Solution: Use a compact limit switch (Bernstein Ti2 limit switch),

with 3 x 10⁶ switching cycles and compact 45x30mm dimensions

Helps to: Maintain regular working cycles within an everyday

environment and avoid any breakdowns

 

Dual Door Monitoring

Problem: Doors may not close securely if closure mechanism fails

when only one door is monitored
