5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Power Up
PMERail automatically powers up when the
machines ignition is switched on. The in-cab
display incorporates a 4.3” high resolution
LCD display and is controlled with three but-
tons at each side. Three status LEDs and an
internal alarm provide further information. The
display is secured to the machine using a flexible ball mounting allowing easy adjustment
for personal viewing preference.
Upon starting up:
1. All LEDs will flash, the internal display alarm and the external alarm will sound mo-
mentarily.
2. A safety warning message will be displayed as shown above, acknowledge its con-
tents by pressing any button.
2. To comply with the Network Rail RIS-1530-PLT issue
4 standard, the external alarm will operate. To confirm
this, press the GREEN TICK button.
3. The system can be configured to work with the on-board Operator Database and will
prompt for a valid and in date operators pass code. See section 5.3 for further
details.
The system will automatically set a height limit of 3.5m: this will occur on
first deployment of the rail bogies or if they are deployed when the system
is started.
If the RED LED remains lit, a fault has been detected, halt any operation,
seek authorised service immediately and do not continue operation until
the fault has been remedied.
