Minimel 95 - Track Warning System

Description

Approved for use by Network Rail since 2002,   provides a SIL3 failsafe, robust and reliable Track Warning System for most rail environments.

The main benefits of Minimel 95 include:

  • Modular and scalable, the system can operate as a LOWS, SATWS or ATWS
  • Capable of protecting complex track layouts, including S&C and converging/diverging lines
  • Option of Radio or Cable connection between equipment.

How does it work?
can be separated into three sections:

Announcement:
Components that detect the train, either manually using a switch or automatically using a treadle attached to running rail, and send the warning signal to the worksite.

Processing:
Devices that process the warning signal and count the number of approaching trains, forwarding the warning signal either via cable or radio.

Warning:
The warning units which alert trackworkers using lights and horns.
