Course Details

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Delegates whose work requires an understanding of operation faulting techniques used on SSI systems. Delegates must be able to interpret wiring diagrams, use a digital multi-meter, have a good understanding of railway signalling principles and have successfully completed the Introduction to Relay Interlocking (RI) course.

OBJECTIVES
On successful completion of the course the delegate will be able to:
• Maintain the system
• Locate and rectify common faults
• Use the technicians terminal to extract information
• Apply and remove technicians controls

CONTENT
• Processors and computing
• System overview
• Central interlocking
• Data transmission
• Location case circuitry
• Use of technician’s terminal
• Fault Location procedures

LEARNING APPROACH
Classroom sessions, practical demonstrations and fault finding with approximately 60% of the course comprising practical work. Theory and practical assessments are included.

FEATURES
Delegates have an opportunity to develop fault-finding skills on a complex interlocking without compromising the safety of a working interlocking. The skills obtained allow the rapid resolution of potentially costly failures on lineside systems.  The use of a system not connected to a working railway allows the introduction of a range of faults giving the delegate the maximum experience of potential failures.
