Phone: 800-825-7090. add radio signaling capabilities or to operate remotely through a vital serial data port. Phone: 800-825-7090. Exide Technologies—The Absolyte IIP Single Cell Module battery is designed for ease of handling in railway signal applications. The Absolyte IIP represents the third generation of the Absolyte product line with fieldproven experience since 1983. The proprietary MFX alloy offers superior cycling and long-file capabilities. The rugged Absolyte IIP battery is able to recover from deep discharges, and can accept a high rate recharge. It is freeze tolerant. Phone: 630-862-2200. GE Transportation Rail —The SCX-1 (Solid State Crossing Controller) is a fully-programmable, microprocessorbased, AC/DC track circuit system designed for railroad-crossing control. The system provides reliable shunting in rusty rail conditions. It requires minimal wiring to implement and a standard crossing application program (STDXING) is included. Phone: 800-825-7090. GE Transportation Rail—The LED flashing-light unit is designed to provide exceptional light intensity and uniform light output, with lower power consumption and longer life. LED technology is available as a complete light assembly and as a retrofit to existing incandescent 32 Railway Track & Structures GE Transportation Rail—GE ON-SITE (formerly ScadaNET) provides low-cost monitoring and reporting of malfunctions at grade crossings, wayside signals, defect detectors and numerous other applications on a near-real-time basis, employing a variety of notification methods. The wireless device (Cellular RTU) delivers status information via e-mail, pager and fax without the high monthly cost of phone lines or modems. GEonSite can promptly report power outages, gate malfunctions and verify conditions over the Internet. Phone: 800-825-7090. GE Transportation Rail—The Crossing Performance Monitor (CPM) is a sensor suite application developed for the HAWK data recorder. The CPM system monitors and alarms on correct crossing operations and automates federally-mandated monthly inspections. Each time a train passes through a CPM-equipped crossing, the system performs a full-monthly test, logs any discrepancies and summarizes test results for a local or remote download. Phone: 800-825-7090. GE Transportation Rail—The ElectroLogIXS XP4 supports a wide range of highway- rail grade-crossing applications, incorporating constant warning time and motion detection control, crossing island train detection, vital input monitoring, vital relay drive output control and ground fault detection. Vital serial communication ports enable the ElectroLogIXS XP4 to communicate with ElectroLogISX, EC5 or VHLC systems. It can be expanded to GE Transportation Rail—HXP/PMD-3 (Highway Crossing Processor/Phase Motion Detector) is an entry-level predictor with enhanced software allowing the user to switch to the predictor function simply by selecting the constant-warning option on the menu. The unit is available in three models. HXP/ PMD-3D offers stand-alone operation for double-track applications. HXP-PMD-3R2 provides built-in redundancy for single-track applications. HXP/PMD -3R2 provides built-in redundancy for single- or double-track applications. Phone: 800-825-7090. GE Transportation Rail—HAWK (GE Advanced Wayside Knowledge System). The HAWK is an advanced programmable event recording system capable of monitoring, analyzing, alarming, and reporting on a variety of inputs, including digital, analog, and current sense inputs. June 2008 GE Transportation Rail—CrossGuard is a non-intrusive, stand-alone system that monitors level crossings to detect a trapped vehicle and other obstacles and allow safe passage of trains. Based on µwave radar technology and vital electronics directly above track level. When a trapped vehicle or other obstacle is detected within the scanned area, an alarm is transmitted to the level crossing or the interlocking system. The microprocessor-based vital electronics are easily interfaced with signaling systems. CrossGuard is immune to weather conditions (rain, fog, snow), insensitive to dirt and electromagnetic noise, and able to detect a vehicle trapped in the crossing area independent of its material (iron, wood, etc.). Phone: 800-825-7090. General Signals, Inc.—Signal lenses, roundels and reflectors. The product line also includes highway crossing bells, gate arms, gate lights, end-of-train lights, and patented gate-keeper apparatus designed to prevent destruction of gate arms when gate crashers violate a downed crossing gate. Phone: 812-474-4256. General Signals, Inc.—The aluminum/polyglas composite gate arm has an 18-ft aluminum base and a second section comprised of pultruded polyglas, a composite material utilizing fiberglass reinforced by thermoset polyester composites.
