Track Circuit Simulator - Ansaldo STS

Wayside ProductsTrack Circuit SimulatorThe ASTS USA Track Circuit Simulator allowseasy field testing MicroTrax ® , E-Code TM andElectroCode track circuits, and containssignificant improvement over other simulators.This is a 2-channel portable signal simulator thatenables track channels to be set upindependently, allowing one track to beconfigured for E-Code or ElectroCodecommunications and the other for MicroTraxcommunications. For MicroTrax circuits, eachtrack channel can be configured as either Masteror Slave. If desired, both channels can beconfigured as Master track circuits or Slave trackcircuits, which can be useful at interlockinglocations. The Track Circuit Simulator alsofeatures a broad operating power range of 9 to 32Vdc.General DescriptionThe Track Circuit Simulator is a suitcase styleportable test unit designed to transmit and receiveMicroTrax, E-Code and Electrocode track circuitsignals. Control panel-mounted test cables connectthe unit to the track circuit under test via theassociated Track Interface Panel.The Simulator’s user interface consists of a 4 x 20character LCD, an integrated optical rotaryencoder/push-button switch, three function keys, andRX/TX and polarity indicator LEDs for each trackchannel.The menu-driven LCD provides most of the userinformation and has several task selection screens.Each screen can be accessed by using the functionkeys below the LCD display. Navigation within eachscreen is accomplished using the easy-to-use rotaryencoder/push-button switch.Each track channel has an RX (green) and TX (red)LED, which indicates if the channel is transmitting orreceiving data. Two red LEDs indicate polarity.Complete operating instructions are placed on theinside of the unit cover.AdvantagesAnsaldo STS USA(Formerly known as Union Switch & Signal)RSE-3J1Rev. 7-05• Tests MicroTrax, E-Code, and ElectroCode TrackCircuits• MicroTrax: Master/Slave, Master/Master,Slave/Slave• E-Code and ElectroCode: Freight/Transit »Standard/ Alternating/Long• Independent assign Master/Slave• Each track channel directly connected to waysidetrack unit• Track channels protected by resettable fuses• Independent setup of each track channel• Easy menu-driven setup and operation• Easy-to-read LCD back-lit display• Four status LEDs for each track channel(transmit/receive, polarity)• Audible alert for specific codes (Code 6 forElectroCode)• Light weight and portable• Two 9 ft.
