3. INSTALLATION OF TRACK FIELD EQUIPMENT

3.1. Site preparation

3.1.1 Pre-installation site survey Prior to any installation work on site, the equipment
installation position will be marked on the dedicated location using a yellow or white
marking pen according to the chainages given by the approved Design Plan drawing. The
ATO markers installation positions (chainages) on the Design Plan will be used as guidance
only as the exact installation position is subjected to actual site conditions.

3.1.2 Preparatory work

 Installation positions for the. The ATO markers location are provided by Siemens. The
positions are mentioned in the respective Design plan.
 A site survey must be performed beforehand to be sure that the. The ATO markers
counter can be installed at the given mounting location.
 The mounting location of the . The ATO markers must be clearly identified.
The mounting location must fulfil the preconditions which are given at
Section 3.1.1.

 The installation can only be done under a possession. Therefore a possession

must be booked for the installation.
 All necessary tools for installation must be available, please refer to chapter 2
No moisture must be allowed to enter the trackside Loop[ Feed Unit box.
Check that necessary cable pipes and troughing is present and ready.
Do not unpack the . The ATO markers wheel until you reach the mounting location.
Before each installation or reinstallation, grease the threads of the fastening
screws with Molykote G-N Plus or G-Rapid Plus to make them easier to undo
the next time.
 Check the code number on the ATO markers housing to ensure you
have the correct variant for the relevant application

3.2. Installation of ATO Marker

The ATO markers are installed referenced to the train stopping point on the platform and
therefore, an essential prior condition is that the train stopping be fixed in order to establish the
marker locations. An ATO marker consist of a loop and a power supply unit (loop feed unit).
Depending on the marker geometry in function of the train’s direction, a distinction is made
between entry and exit markers.

Two markers are located on each track. The entry marker is positioned 70 metres before the
stopping point. The exit marker is positioned 90 metres after the stopping point. The reference
for the marker distance is taken with respect to the route cross made in the loop.

DATE: 24/07/2018
REVISION: 0

NOTE: S.P. = Stopping Point.

The thick arrows indicate the direction of train movement on each of the tracks.
The installation will be the same for all stations. Only in a situation where the marker position
interferes with the installation of tuning units, short-circuit loops, points, points machines or
other components which are installed on the track will it be necessary to move it so that it is free
of these obstacles. It might also occur, that due to points operation and layout requirements
along the track that the exit markers for certain stations have to be located at a distance greater
than 90 metres from the stopping point in order not to interfere with the points positioned at the
station exit and so that the train is able to capture the marker from any of the platforms. Under
these circumstances, the marker is to be located within the track circuit after the points, as close
as possible to the stopping point, but maintaining a minimum five metres separation from the
tuning unit to the end of the loop
The loop is to be installed between the rails and fixed to the interior face of the outer rail and to
the track, as shown in the following diagram. Special staples are used to fix the loop to the rail.
Clamps are used to fix it to each of the plinths. Double clamps may be used for the route cross
zone. The start, end and loop route cross must coincide with a plinth in order to correctly fix the
loop in place.
The markers are not to be positioned in the termination zones, in other words, between the
tuning unit and the short-circuit loops.
The loop ends of a marker must be separated by at least five metres from the tuning units. The
stopping points should not be established within the parking track circuit body, this means not
within the space between the tuning unit and the short-circuit loop. The construction of the loop
to the L.F.U. is always to be made from one end, just as shown in the diagram. Loop dimensions
are as follows:

Sheet No. : 9 of 16
 Doc No.: BEC-QMS-OP- SIG-1000
DATE: 24/07/2018
REVISION: 0

Short loop from 1.5 to 1.8 meters.

Long loop From 5.5 to 6 metres.
Width 0.5 metres.

Over a smooth bed, the loop should be constructed with the maximum dimensions. If this is not
possible because of track obstacles, loop must be constructed between the indicated tolerances.
The route cross is to be made as shown in the diagram. A single cross should be made at one
end, and the wires are then taken parallel until they separate in order to continue with each of
the loops.

Loop Feed Unit (L.F.U.)

The L.F.U. will be mounted onto the face closest to the marker, at a distance of 0.5 to 1 metre
from them to the ground. In those cases in which this set-up is not possible, it will be attached
to the ground, next to the track, at a distance of always less than 3 metres from the place where
the loop exits.

The quad from the LFU to the cabinet will be connected directly to the ATO equipment in the
interlocking room without passing through any trackside disconnection box. For this design
will be used the same canalization between the two tracks than for the rest of the cables. The
quad cable must be fixed to the viaduct in the same way that the loop cable. The quad is an
armoured cable (already protected) and the tracks are ballast-less (therefore no tamping

machines to worry about damaging "invisible" cables), so it is not necessary additional

protection for this cable. The power supply wire to the LFU that comes from the On-track Unit
will be connected as in next figure. It is a quad wire measuring 4 x 1 x 1.3 mm², leaving two of
the wires as a reserve. The earth connection will not be connected to the LFU. The external
dimensions of the LFU are:
Width: 248 mm
Length: 270 mm
Height: 140 mm

As a general rule, 4 markers will be installed at each of the stations on the line (2 entrance
markers and 2 exit markers; the markers on each track display the same message). Special care
must be taken when passing the cable through the LFU connectors. The interior minimum rings
should be removed from the compression glands so that after tightening the nuts the
compartment is leak-tight and will not allow water or dust to enter. In the case of MMRLT2, the
LFU is to be mounted on the plinth, taking train clearance into account. For the same reason, the
cover screws have to be correctly adjusted.

The loop cable may be stripped in concentric layers so that a smaller diameter sheath passes
through the compression gland. The following diagram shows the assembly sequence for these
components: In the case of connecting the four-wire cable from the cabinet to the LFU, where
the cable sheath cannot be stripped in several layers, further layers are to be removed from the
compression gland until the cable fits and can be inserted into the box.
3.2 Installation of ATO Cabinet
The ATO rack is installed in a cabinet, which, in addition to the actual ATO equipment itself,
also holds the LCU (Line Connection Unit) and the power supply (50 Vdc) if the equipment is
an EVS. The rack is supplied already wired and on site it is only necessary to connect the 220
Vac and 50 Vdc power supplies (in the case of an EVCE), the marker connections and those for
communications with the other equipment. These connections are made via a block with
terminals grouped five by five, together with a marker that identifies each block. In addition,
when dealing with an EVCE, it will be necessary to connect a communications cable with the
Westrace. This cable is used to receive variable information from the CTC. Connecting this cable
is very easy. The ATO equipment end is connected by means of a 75-pin female connector
(CON 1) and the Westrace end is connected via two connectors identified as DIP and DOP in
the slots specified on the station wiring drawings.

EMT1 = Entry Marker, Track 1.

XMT1 = Exit Marker, Track 1.
EMT2 = Entry Marker, Track 2.
XMT2 = Exit marker, Track 2.
COM. = quad cable for communications with neighbouring equipment.
The second quad communications cable is only connected when dealing with an intermediate
unit within a communications node.
To connect the screen, a cable must be solded to the quad screen cable and a terminal must be
crimped in this cable.
