SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 2 Introduction This document describes the mounting of the LocControl100 RS radio remote control on the vehicle. 3 Pictogram The following icons are used in these instructions for better comprehension of the user. This note provides useful tips and advice for better handling and improving the performance and reliability of the radio remote control.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 5 Opening LocControl100 RS Transmitter and Receiver The Transmitter and the Receiver (19-inch rack, IP65 housing or Compact) may not be opened during installation. For commissioning and maintenance work, the requirements apply in accordance with "Commissioning and maintenance concept LocControl100“ [5]. LocControl100 RS Transmitter and the Receiver may be opened only by authorized and trained Schweizer Electronic personnel.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 6 Connecting and installing the 19“ rack model Receiver 6.1 Mechanical installation The requirements of the „Overview of mechanical dimensions“ [2] are applicable for mechanical installation. The following points should be noted when mounting the 19 " rack Receiver: The 19 " rack Receiver is be installed in a lockable, electric cabinet provided for this purpose. The electrical cabinet must meet IP54. The Receiver 19 "- rack must not be installed on a device which gives off heat.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 7 Installing compact model Receiver The requirements of the „Overview of mechanical dimensions“[2] are applicable for mechanical installation. The following points should be noted when installing the compact Receiver: 7.1 Mechanical installation The compact Receiver must be installed in a lockable electric cabinet. The electrical cabinet must meet IP54. The compact Receiver must not be installed on a device which gives off heat.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 8 Installing Receiver model with IP65 housing The requirements of the „Overview of mechanical dimensions“[2] are applicable for mechanical installation. The following points should be noted when installing Receiver with IP65 housing: 8.1 Mechanical installation The Receiver with IP65 housing must be set and installed on the vehicle such that the housing is protected against damages. The Receiver Housing IP65 must not be installed on a device which gives off/emits heat.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 9 Earthing of the Receiver 9.1 Earthing of Receiver models 19“ Rack/Relay and 19“ Rack/CANopen To ensure a correct and reliable earthing the Receiver (19 "rack and Compact) must be electrically connected to the locomotive chassis. For this purpose, a 1.5 mm2 stranded wire (yellow-green) with a suitable length is to be used. This is to be installed between the earthing connection of the LocControl100 RS Receiver and the vehicle chassis.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 10 Wiring the recevier with supply cable and signal cable 10.1 Using shielded signal cable If signal cables with integrated shield are used, the shield must be grounded only on the Receiver side. The installation point is the mounting of the coding bar of the connector. The shielding must be absolutely fixed in place. Installation order: coding bar - ring terminal of the shield - washer - spring washer - bolt Shielding Signal Cable 10.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 10.4 Compact model Receiver with CANopen interface In case of compact Receiver the supply and signals of the six safety relays are to be wired using a 48-pin DIN41612 connector. The maximum length of the cable is 3m. Schweizer Electronic must be contacted when using longer cables. The cables should run in cable conduit or protected in an armored tube. Receiver compact 10.5 Receiver with IP65 housing The power supply of the Receiver is performed by a separate 2- wire cable.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 11 Vehicle antennas 11.1 Available vehicle antennas The vehicle antennas of Schweizer Electronic should be used for the antenna installation: vehicle antenna 410 - 470MHz, 0dB vehicle antenna 410 - 430MHz, +2dB vehicle antenna 450 - 470MHz, +2dB Art No. VWE1766 antenna height 142mm Art No. VWE1620 antenna height 355mm Art No. VWE1768 antenna height 355mm 11.2 Mounting the antenna The vehicle antenna is to be installed at the highest possible point on the locomotive (vehicle), i.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC antenna flanges. To achieve the best conductivity, the installation surfaces on the antenna socket and the associated surface on the vehicle must be properly cleaned. All paint residues and other contaminants must be removed before installation. 11.2.4 Sealing the vehicle antenna To avoid corrosion and leakages of the vehicle, the antenna connector must be sealed against the mounting.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 12 Mounting the Transmitter holder The requirements of the „Overview of mechanical dimensions“ [2] are applicable for mechanical installation. 12.1 Mounting for Operating the Transmitter in the Transmitter holder The Transmitter can be operated in a Transmitter holder. When mounting the Transmitter holder, the following points should be noted: The front of the Transmitter must not be covered. There must be at least 1 meter distance to the nearest metal surface.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 13 Connecting and installing locControl100 battery charger on the vehicle The LocControl100 charger is used to charge one or two 7.2 VDC lithium ion batteries and can be installed on a vehicle. The requirements of the „Overview of mechanical dimensions“ [2] are applicable for mechanical installation. You must observe the operating instructions of the LocControl100 battery charger [3] and comply with its requirements when installing LocControl100 battery charger.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 13.1 Mechanical installation Bill of materials: - 1x Charger “LocControl100 RS” (Art.nr. VGG1769) 4x “PT-Countersink screw 'H' KA30x12» (Art.nr. EES0571) Instruction: 1) Measure and mark points for anchor supports (4x) of charger on horizontal base, according to the following dimensions (L=171mm, W=110mm) and for stabilization cut-outs (4x). Attention: Material thickness of base must not exceed 3mm. In case of thicker material, please use screws with appropriate length.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 2) Drill holes (Ø 4mm) for shown anchor points (red marked circles) and cut-outs (Ø 8.5mm) for stabilization (yellow marked circles) on the basement.
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 4) Mount charger with screws from the bottom up (see red marked arrows) LocControl100 RS Page 18 of 19 Vehicle Installation Instructions
SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC 14 Holder for RFID key An empty RFID cabinet can be mounted on the driver cabin for the safekeeping of the RFID key (optional). The detailed assembly drawings are included in the delivery 15 Switch manual operation radio operation To toggle between manual operation radio remote control operation a switch can be mounted on the driver cabin (optional). Schweizer Electronic offers a standard solution with the key switch for the LocControl100 Transmitter.
