ELDYNE SINGLE SECTION DIGITAL AXLE COUNTER
3.0 Introduction
This part provides brief description and specific guidelines for installation,
commissioning, adjustment and maintenance of Single Section Digital Axle
Counter of AzLS system manufactured by M/s Eldyne Electro-systems Pvt. Ltd.,
in association with M/s Thales of Germany.
The AzLS system consists of at least two detection points Zp30CA-2, both
installed on the same rail. A seperate evaluator is not required. The AzLS contains
a 2 out of 2 vital microprocessor system to count the axles, establish the track
occupancy and provide the information to the block or the interlocking
equipment.
It consists of 1 Cable to

Communication
For communication with other EAKs the system uses two wire CCITT V.23 semi
duplex communication protocol at 1200 bits/second.
Reset Relay
Reset relay is to be connected either in the location box near the EAK or in the
relay room for resetting the system. The normal power supply is provided to the
EAK through the back contact of the relay. When the reset is commanded from
the reset box, this relay picks up and the polarity of the power supply to the EAK
is reversed thereby resetting the system. 1000 ohm AC immunized Q series relay
to be used as reset relay. A free whelling diode (IN 4007) should be connected
with this reset relay. Minimum 21.6 Volt DC should reach the reset relay coil
after cable loss.

3.2 Installation
Apart from the general guidelines given in section, the specific guidelines which
are to be followed for installation of AzLS are as given below:
a1 or a2 or a3 = a calculated +1.5 mm
b =13 mm + 0.2 mm
c =148 mm + 0.2 mm
Height of mounting hole for different rail profiles is given below:
Drill the final three holes of diameter 13mm on the rail web with the help of
drilling jig. The procedure is illustrated in the figures 3.6 to 3.9.

• Connect the screen of the rail contact cables to the earthing bar.
• Remove the cable insulation for a length of approximately 45 mm.
• Fasten the screen to the earthing bar by means of a cable tie and connect
the screen to the earthing bar using the clip supplied.
• The pairs of wire have to be twisted properly as shown in Fig. 2.12.

3.6. 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.
Dummy Wheel
For adjustments, tool kit ETU001 has to be used only with its dummy wheel, true
RMS multimeter and adjustable torque wrench (Fig.3.13).

• Selector switch position 5: Shows the value of reference voltage for SK1
(PEGUE1). This can be adjusted by the potentiometer R1 on the Analog
board.
• Selector switch position 6: OFF
• Selector switch position 7: Shows the rectified Rx voltage (MESSAB2)
for SK2. For fine adjustment the potentiometer R4 on the Analog board
should be used.
• Selector switch position 8: Shows the reference voltage for SK2
(PEGUE2). This can be adjusted by the potentiometer R3 on the Analog
board.
• Selector switch position 9: OFF

• 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.
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
(Figure 2.20) 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 PEGUE1 =
MESSAB1(without dummy wheel) Tolerance +-2%
PEGUE2
• Repeat for PEGUE2 using Selector Switch position 8 and potentiometer R3
such that PEGUE2 = MESSAB2 (without dummy wheel) Tolerance +-2%.
Ensure that the switches are firmly set to the correct position. Only insulated long
needle like materials to be used to set the switches.
• To set a ´1´ press switch to the end that is marked “1”.
• To set a ´0´ press switch to the other end.
* Defect indicates an error in the system due to any problem in analog card and/or
digital card and/or motherboard. Power to be made off and then on for resetting the
system after rectifying the problem.
