LED Signal
Introduction
This is surface mounted light emitting diode (LED) based signal
lighting unit with transparent cover of U.V. stabilized polycorbonate
material preventing refraction of sunlight and head light of loco.
Advantages
LED signal unit have the following advantages:
Life of LED signal is 1 lakh hours.
Provides comprehensive protection against lightening and/or
surge voltage
Focussing is not required
Less power consumption
Requires minimum maintenance
2
Brief Description
Current Regulator
The ECR used in this model is DC ECR which is common ECR for all
type of signals.
Main signal – Red, Yellow and Green aspects
6
Calling on signal
Route indicator
Position light shunt signal
In case of DC models
AC immunity more than 300 V AC, no cutting in relays in RE
area and even for 2nd distant signal.
Common ECR for all types of signals helps in reducing number of
ECRs cost.
Operating parameters
Table
ECR for LED signal unit of AC models
Universal plug in type tractive armature AC lamp proving relay is
used.
Maximum pick up current – 90mA/AC 50 Hz
Minimum release current – 60 mA/AC 50 Hz
This ECRs with stand for a continuos current 0 and 250mA /AC 50 Hz
Contact configuration – 4F/4B identically in in A to D rows.
Voltage drop across R1 and R2 is less than 10 V125 m/A AC
(normal working current).
General maintenance
Tighten all nuts and screws and the terminals
Ensure that LED signal unit is properly fixed on signal unit and
secure with nut and bolts or screws
Properly clean the LED signal units, all terminals and current
regulating devices periodically with soft cloth
Ensure that LED signal unit does not vibrate during running of
trains
LED signal should be kept in suitable cover provided with
thermocol packing on the inner side surface.
Ensure that the protection is provided on the current regulator
terminals to avoid external interference.
Do’s
Always sprays CRC spray after every tightening / opening of
terminals of aspects and current regulator
Always provide proper rating fuse
Monitor health monitor device on each visit
Operate audio alarm and check acknowledge button.
Keep shut the signal housing door properly
Don’ts
Do not leave the three and two pin connectors loose
Does not over tight the LED lead connector to the LED signal
unit
Do not interchange any connections after current regulating
device
Do not try to give direct supply to the signal unit
8
Do not try to open the cover for replacement of LED
Do not try the drill the hole on the base of LED signal unit for
fixing of the existing signal unit
