Axle Counter Appreciation

Number of Delegates: 6

Duration: 2 days

Location: Horsley Cross

Who should attend

This course is designed for delegates who have little or no knowledge of axle counters.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course delegates will be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of the axle counter system
Specify detection points on a scheme plan and location plan
Understand the basic principles of axle counter installation
Understand the main components of the axle counter system
Describe the principles of section reset and restore
Specify detection points and evaluator circuitry on relevant location/REB drawings
Demonstrate an understanding on known faults that may occur trackside

Learning approach

70% classroom based theory using PowerPoint presentations, scenarios and pro-active discussion

30% practical sessions including hands-on removal and re-fitting of the axle counter heads

A theory and practical assessment is carried out to check the delegates’ understanding.

Pre-requisites

An understanding of general railway signalling principles is required and it is recommended that delegates should have attended a Basic Signalling One course prior to attending this course.
