Dual Inventive
ZKL 3000 RC – Remotely Operated Track Circuit Operating Device (T-COD)
How It Works
The ZKL 3000 RC is a Track Circuit Operating Device designed to provide protection to track workers from trains. It has high safety reliability and maximises
track access efficiency.
When the device is activated, it simulates a train in a section of track, causing the track circuit to show ‘occupied’, holding the protecting signal to red.
The device is operated remotely by using the Dual Inventive App independent of the signalling system. The App provides the user with real-time information to help monitor and control the devices set within a project, giving reassurance that the protection remains in place.
Once the ZKL 3000 RC is installed, it can be operated remotely, eliminating the need to enter the track to install and remove protection in place.
What Are The Benefits
The ZKL 3000 RC:
Improves safety
The device can be:
- Pre-installed at an early stage, avoiding installation during busy periods.
- Managed and monitored from a position of safety.
Improves efficiency
- Production time can be increased by up to 20%.
- Using the App, protection can be activated and deactivated in less than 10 seconds, remotely and safely, without being on track.
- More work can be carried out between traffic, potentially decreasing overall project times significantly.
Increases capacity
- Reduces the time taken to implement safety systems, allowing the track to be put back into operation more quickly.
