BPAC Double Line-Installation
BPAC Double Line-Installation
All the BPAC units including the modules, connectors and other accessories are factory-
checked. However, after unpacking, following pre-installation test schedule is being
recommended to examine if any kind of damage has occurred during transportation.
Physical Examination:
Required for:
a) Connectors
b) Relays and Relay-bases
c) All the PCB modules / cards
d) UFSBI Alarm Panel
e) Block Panel
f) Block Telephone
g) Rack and sub-rack
h) Card Guides
i) Motherboard (Backplane)
j) Interconnecting cables and wires
If any major damage is found, it should be brought to the notice of site supervisor for
subsequent necessary action.
Battery: Good quality 24V 80AH battery with low internal resistance should be used for BPAC.
BPAC battery should not be shared with any other gear or any other adjacent BPAC.
Battery Charger: Good quality low ripple battery charger (Axle counter type) 24V/10A as per
IRS: S-86/2000 or IPS module (24V/5A) as per RDSO/SPN/165/2004 for each BPAC.
Power supply for BPAC should be separate from Axle Counter and Block telephone power
supply.
Normal voltage: 24V/5A (-10% to + 20%) at the output voltage at following 2 condition must be
within 21.6V to 28.8V.
Lightning arrestor : Good lightning protection system with proper connection with earth.
Cable : For connecting BPAC to the optical mux, 0.9mm / 600 ohms telephone cable should be
used. A single segment of cable without in between joints, should be used for this connection.
56/0.3mm copper wire for power input (Length is as per distance between battery charger or
IPS room to BPAC cubicle.)
Environment : Adequately spacious, clean, dry and well ventilated location should be used for
BPAC. Enough room around the BPAC should be provided for easy access for maintenance.
Power Supply
a) Battery Voltage should not exceed the range: 21.6 to 28.8V DC.
c) Before insertion of other modules, Power Supply units (PSU) are to be inserted and power
connection to the Battery Supply is to be provided. The ‘Start’ switch on the front panel of
the PSU should be lifted once to bring them into operation. The correct output levels should
be read from the front panel monitoring points as:
+ 5V Int = 5.6V – 6V
BP = 4.9V – 5.3V
BP = 11.8V – 12.4V
The ‘OK’ LED for +5V & +12V should glow, indicating proper health of PSU.
Installation of BPAC is kept very simple as and such no elaborate procedure will be required
except those given as under:
Inter Connections :
WD (QN1) : TGTXR (QN1) : ASGNCR (QNA1) : TCFR (QL1) : HSGNCR (QNA1) : BPNR (QN1) :
FR1 (QN1) : SD1 (QN1) : TCFXR (QN1) : TCFCR (QN1) : TGTYR (QN1) : ASGNCPR (QN1) :
TGTZR (QN1) : BLR (QN1) : FR2 (QN1) : SD2 (QN1) : BTSR (QN1) : TAR2 (QN1) : TAR1 (QNA1) :
HSBTPR (QNA1) : HSATPR (QNA1) : AZTR(D) (QNA1) : 120EJ (Electronic Time Delay Unit) :
120JPR (QN1) : CAR (QN1) : CNR (QN1) : TGTNR (QN1) : ASCR (QN1) : TGTR (QL1) : AZTR(R)
(QNA1)
b) Insert all the modules/cards in the UFSBI 6U Rack in power off condition.
c) Plug in all the connectors to their matched counterpart. As the length or wire groups
corresponding to each connector are optimally fixed, probability of wrong connection is
ruled out.
d) Put on the UFSBI PSUs.
Start-up
When initially power is applied to the system, 1). the count no. of veeder counter will increase
by one as soon as the system passes through Power on Reset, 2). the system goes through
some initial self checking showing ‘SYSTEM CHECK’. If any of the checks fails system goes to
shutdown. Now the system comes to a point where it looks for control voltage of the output
card showing ‘CNTL. VOLT ABSENT’. When ‘CNTL. VOLT’ switch is pressed momentarily, desired
voltage gets available, and otherwise system goes to shutdown. Now the system will transit to
SSB state, assuming failure of inter block communication and will display the message “IB RX
FAIL”. When the system at the other end is also powered ON, the local end system will transit
to the NORMAL state after successful reception of at least three interblock communication
packets and will display the message “SYSTEM OK”.
Normal operation
Once the system has successfully completed initialisation, it is now ready for interfacing various
signalling information of a BPAC at one end of a block section and exchanging them with the
BPAC terminal at the other end
A “Test Signalling Round” involving at least 10 operations needs to be performed before the
real operations or the trail run starts. The block operation through BPAC to be kept under
observation at least for three up and three down movements of trains.
A close monitoring of the train movements through BPAC to be done at least for 48 Hrs after
immediate installation and commissioning of the system.
PRE INSTALLATION CHECK-LIST FOR BPAC (DOUBLE LINE)
(AS PER RDSO/SPN/188/2004)
1. Site condition Spacious, clean, dry, well ventilated room preferably with a
fan/exhaust fan with adequate space for installation of
BPAC.
2. Battery 24 V / 120 AH
9. V/F matching For the system which has to run on Copper cable in RE area
transformer (as V/F tapping transformer is required as per IRS:TC 76-2006.
per Characteristics impedance for V/F transformer is 600 Ω on
communication primary side(i.e. BPAC side ) and Quad cable impedance on
cable type) secondary side (normally it is 470 Ω )
