only at the Speke-Ditton site as part of the selective door opening system For the measuring of point machine motor drive current Type C1, C2, C3, B1 and B2 signalling cables to NR/L2/SIG/00005 Issue 1 In general, standby supplies for signalling applications. Application for Gosberton is to maintain power to block instruments during switch over to generator power on DNO failure For use as a heavy duty contactor where additional signalling type front contacts are required Lineside equipment This product is used to provide the link between the RCM network and the IM infrastructure Merseyrail Fire and Civil Defence Authority subsurface radio renewal. Specific uses in the project Designed to fit in the six foot cess areas under direct track load. Lateral parts can be fitted on-site using the pack provided Additional changes to the certificate required by Network Rail Track Engineering The rail temperature monitoring unit is a low power device which monitors and records actual rail temperature data in order to predict potential heat speeds. The system also alarms and sends an alert when set thresholds have been exceeded
