CONTENTS

1. INTRODUCTION

This manual details the correct method for installing the ZKL 3000 Remote Control (RC) Line

Blockage System safely. The ZKL 3000 RC system protects a section of track efﬁciently and effectively

by producing and monitoring a short circuit in the track, simulating a train in the section. This causes

the track circuit to be ‘OCCUPIED’, thus placing the protecting signals danger. This section is

immediately closed to rail trafﬁc, enabling rail workers to perform work on the infrastructure safely.

The ZKL 3000 RC can be operated using either the Remote Switch (RS) 3000 or through the web

interface MTinfo 3000 .

2. DEFINITIONS & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

3. CONDITIONS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Please read all safety instructions carefully before using the ZKL 3000 RC, ensuring you

fully understand the system and how it works. When precautionary measures and safety

instructions are not followed properly there is a risk of electric shock, ﬁre or even death.

5. CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The ZKL 3000 RC uses two types of batteries and chargers, which are displayed below

a. Instructions prior to use

• The chargers only have an IP20 protection level, so always charge the batteries in a dry,

indoor environment

• ALWAYS place the chargers at least 50mm apart for adequate cooling

• Always check the charger and cables for visible damage before use. DO NOT USE the charger

if any damage is detected

• The charger of both the backup battery and the external battery may only be repaired and

maintained by Dual Inventive

• Always transport and store the chargers in a dry environment

• Only use the charger that was supplied for that particular model

b. Charging a backup battery

• Plug the charger into a power socket. The green LED will illuminate to indicate mains power

• Connect the battery to the charger. The red LED on the charger will illuminate to indicate the

backup battery is being charged

• When the red LED switches off, the battery is fully charged

• The backup battery can stay connected to the charger without causing damage, although

after a period of time the red LED may illuminate again

c. Charging an external battery

• Connect the power cable to the battery and then connect the charger to the mains.

The two red LEDs on the charger will illuminate

• The fan in the charger should start at this point

• Both LEDs on the charger will remain red when the external battery is being charged

• When charged, one LED will turn green indicating this

• The external battery can stay connected to the charger, however it will not trickle charge

ATTENTION:

If you are to re-use the charger on another battery, please remove the charger from the

power before connecting the new battery.

6. TESTING THE ZKL 3000 RC

a. Preparations

Before you start, check whether the ZKL3000 RC system’s calibration is still in date.

You can ﬁnd the “Next calibration date” sticker on the measuring unit.

Discharge and charge the batteries at least twice before the ﬁrst use to ensure full power capacity.

See section “Charging the batteries”.

Before installation, the user should check the ZKL 3000 RC for defects and perform a function test.

Testing the ZKL 3000 RC should always be done in a position of safety.

• Before testing, clean the contact points with a wire brush to ensure the best possible connection

• Before use, place two fully charged batteries into the ZKL 3000 RC

• Open the battery cover with the compartment key

• ALWAYS place the power cable on the notched side of the battery compartment

• Insert the batteries and pull the rubber fastener over the battery ends to lock them in position

• Close the battery cover and lock it with the compartment key

• Wait at least 10 seconds after installing the batteries to allow the ZKL 3000 RC to switch on

• Using the override key switch, switch the ZKL 3000 RC on

b. The override key switch

The override key switch has three positions:

Key up (fully clockwise) = ON

The ZKL 3000 RC has now been activated in an overruled

manner and produces a short circuit. The unit cannot be

operated remotely.

Key horizontal = OPERATIONAL

The ZKL 3000 RC is now operational and can be operated

remotely by either the RS 3000 or MTinfo 3000.

Key down (fully counter-clockwise) = OFF

The ZKL 3000 RC has now been activated in an overruled

manner and will not produce a short circuit. The unit

cannot be operated remotely.

ZKL 3000 RC

6. CONTINUATION TESTING THE ZKL 3000 RC

The override key switches the ZKL 3000 RC ON or OFF without using either an RS 3000 or

MTinfo 3000. Use of the override key will overrule commands sent by both the RS 3000 and

MTinfo 3000 as the key switch always takes priority. Usually, the key switch would only be used

as a last resort.

Attention! The OPERATIONAL position has two settings.

OPERATIONAL - ON: When switched from the ON to OPERATIONAL (one turn to the left),

the ZKL 3000 RC remains activated creating a short circuit. However, it will now be possible to

remotely operate the ZKL 3000 RC using either an RS 3000 or MTinfo 3000.

OPERATIONAL - OFF: When switched from OFF to OPERATIONAL (one turn to the right), the ZKL

3000 RC remains deactivated. Again, it will now be possible to remotely operate the ZKL 3000 RC

using either an RS 3000 or MTinfo 3000.

c. Function test for installation

• Ensure that the contact points and the Test-Tool are clean

• With the Test-Tool present (as shown below), press the contact points together and switch

the ZKL 3000 RC ‘ON’ using the override key

• The green LED should start ﬂashing (twice per second), indicating that a short circuit has

been detected. Check this status for at least ﬁve seconds

• If all is OK and the green LED continues to ﬂash, switch the ZKL 3000 RC ‘OFF’ using the

override key. The LED should stop ﬂashing. Again, check this for at least ﬁve seconds

• If the LED remains off, remove the Test-Tool. The ZKL 3000 RC is ready to be deployed

ATTENTION: If the ZKL 3000 RC does not pass the functional test before installation,

do NOT use the unit. Apply a label to the ZKL 3000 RC, quarantine it and return to your

depot/warehouse to be returned to Dual Inventive for repair.

7. INSTALLING THE ZKL 3000 RC

a. Installing the ZKL 3000 RC in the track

After you have successfully tested the ZKL 3000 RC in a safe location, you can install the ZKL 3000

RC in the track as follows:

• Ensure that the distance between the bottom of the ZKL 3000 RC and any ballast is at least 3cm

• Set the override key switch of the ZKL 3000 RC to ‘ON’

• Unfold the ZKL 3000 RC and place the contact points on the web of the rail

• Partially insert and remove the ZKL 3000 RC during installation several times (being careful

to keep it in the same location) before the ﬁnal placement of the ZKL 3000 RC. The contact

points will scrape the rust away from the rail web ensuring a better contact

• Using your hand or foot (and being careful to avoid trapping in the hinge), push the

ZKL 3000 RC down until it locks

• The green LED should start ﬂashing (twice per second), indicating that a short circuit has

been detected. Check this status for at least ﬁve seconds

• Place the locking clamp over the hinge of the ZKL 3000 RC

• Insert the two metal locking plates in the base of the locking clamp

• Next, place the clamp around the two pins and lock with a padlock (as shown below)

• Place the external battery outside of the track in a safe location and secure it.

No padlocks or chains have been supplied for this purpose

• Pass the cable under the rail (on the side of the battery cover where possible) to

the ZKL 3000 RC

• Open the battery cover and connect the plug of the external battery with the ZKL 3000 RC using

the connection cable to battery slot 2. Otherwise, the ZKL 3000 RC will not function properly

ATTENTION! You should always place the power cable to the side of the notch in the

battery compartment.
