When the Over head cable is in line with the laser the amount of cable stagger can be read from the scale on the upper side of the horizontal beam.
Measuring Super Elevation To measure super elevation press the white button at the left end of the gauge, a measurement will appear on the screen above the white button (see Figure ) Figure 7 After pressing the white button, the sensor requires approximately 10 seconds to stabilise.
Ensure that there are no flat spots on the bearing surfaces in contact with the rail Annual To ensure that the accuracy of your ABT4640 remains within specified limits, it should be returned to your local distributor for annual re-calibration. 4640-1 IMP Issue 03...
