10/00 (4945-5075A) Operation, Page 9

Before operating this machine, read and understand the Safety Section of this Manual.

BEFORE OPERATION

GENERAL The Trak Inspector is a mechanical/electrical system specifically designed for use with railway inspection vehicles to measure and record variation in gage width and rail elevation. The mechanical part of the system consists of a frame with clamps that attach to the bumper of the inspection vehicle and with wheels and guide rollers that ride along the track. An indicator box, attached by cable to the frame and powered by the inspection vehicles lighter plug, receives impulses from a phototransistor mounted on the left wheel, displays gage and elevation readings with an accuracy of 1/16-inch () and sounds an alarm when gage set limits are exceeded. The indicator box varies according to age of machine and/or whether or not your machine includes a recorder. See following pages for detailed function of box(es). RECORDER (Optional, No Longer Available) An optional 12-VDC recorder prints out a continuous paper record of gage and elevation readings. A stylus marks the paper by pushing aside the outer white layer of paper and leaving the inner black layer. Notes can be made on the paper through the access window.

INDICATOR CONTROLS


10/00 (4945-5075A) Operation, Page 11

ITEM CONTROLS On/Off Switch

Without Recorder

With Recorder

The On/OFF switch opens or breaks the circuit to the vehicle's electrical system. To avoid any unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery, always place the switch in the OFF position when the engine is not running. Conversely, the switch must always be in the ON position when track inspection is in progress. NOTE: Also provides power to the Inspector Assembly traveling behind inspection vehicle. On/Off Switch is located on power cord going into box. On/Off Switch is located between cables on side of Indicator Box

Elevation Gage Meter The elevation meter is divided into two halves. The right side of the meter indicates the height of the right hand rail in relation to the left hand rail. The left hand side of the meter indicates the height of the left hand rail in relation to the right hand rail. The meter is calibrated from "0", at the center of the meter, to a 6" full scale reading at the left and right sides of the meter. Between "0" and the full scale reading of 6", the meter is divided into individual inches and each inch is divided into eighths.

Gage Error Meter

Before 8/76

After 8/76

The gage error meter is divided into two halves. The right side of the meter indicates the amount the two rails are WIDER THAN GAGE and the left side of the meter indicates the amount the two rails are LESS (NARROWER) THAN GAGE. An alarm is sounded when the gage error meter tolerance has been exceeded. Tolerance is set by using the NARROW and WIDE adjustment knobs outlined below. The meter is calibrated from "0" at the center of the meter to a full scale reading of 1" at the left and right sides of the meter. The meter is divided into eighths and each eighth is divided into sixteenths. The meter is calibrated from "0" at the left center of the meter to a full scale reading of 1/2" at the left side and 1-1/2" at the right side of the meter. The meter is divided into eighths and each eighth is divided into sixteenths.

MACHINE SET-UP Bumper Modification And Installation The two bumper clamps are designed to fit a vehicle bumper 6 inches high (or 4-inch and 5-Inch high using spacers) and two inches wide. However, modifications are still required to keep clamps from moving sideways. The clamps fit other bumpers with additional modification as described below. BUMPER SIZE MODIFICATION

4" x 2"; 5" x 2"; 6" x 2" Cut two notches in bumper on top and bottom edges making sure

notches are perpendicular and are 55-1/4" apart or 27-5/8" each way from the center of the rail span. See Figure 1 Above.

Wider than 2-inches or with Sheet Metal Deck

Drill holes or make deeper notches to accommodate the ball lock pins. Drill holes in relation to the center of the rails rather than to the center of the bumper. See Figure 2 Above.

Alternate Mounting If the Trak Inspector cannot be mounted to the rear bumper, install

a 6" x 2" x 5-foot channel. See Figure 3 Above.


10/00 (4945-5075A) Operation, Page 15

ASSEMBLING THE TRAK INSPECTOR The main components of the Trak Inspector are those located behind the inspection vehicle. They consist of a left and right wheel bracket assembly and a center bracket assembly. To assemble these:

1. Assemble wheel brackets to center bracket by aligning holes in

the center bracket and inserting ball lock pins. 2. Assemble connecting links to wheel brackets by aligning holes in

connecting links with holes in wheel brackets and inserting ball lock pins. See Figure 4, above.

3. Position guide rollers: a) Remove ball lock pins from bumper clamps and back out bumper

clamp setsscrews. See Figure 5, below.

b) Push on outboard side of wheel to compress spring in the

telescoping center link, so that the guide rollers fit on the inboard site of each rail. See Figure 6, next page.


10/00 (4945-5075A) Operation, Page 16

4. Install clamps:

(a) Insert a ball lock pin in each clamp. (b) Insert a two inch spacer (on a 4" bumper) or a one-inch spacer

(on a 5-inch bumper between the clamp and the top of the bumper. See Figure 5.

(c) Tighten setscrews so that the clamps fit snugly on the bumper

without any free play and so that clamps can be installed or removed by using only the lock ball pins.

5. Check that wheel bracket is vertical in relation to the rail so that elevation readings will be accurate. Adjust by removing the bolt, changing the length of the telescoping link, and reinstalling the bolt and tightening the nut and locknut.
