Unipart Dorman for more information on these energy saving options. The CLS LITE can be installed anywhere a Classic CLS or Filament Head is currently fitted or by using the Unipart Dorman Assisted Lift Trunnion range as standalone maintenance free signals, where all work is carried out from ground level.
All activity on the CLS LITE, both mechanical and electrical, must only be carried out by staff deemed competent in these fields by their employer. It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure that the CLS LITE is installed and/or maintained by certificated and competent staff.
SHALL BE APPLIED TO PROTECT THE WORKING RAILWAY. CLS LITE Variants There are two types of CLS LITE head and they are defined by the way they are mounted. The installation instructions are different and it is important that you identify which variant you are installing.
The other type can only be used with the Unipart Dorman GRP Post and Assisted Lift Trunnion and will be delivered with the Spigot Bracket attached. Where this method is employed, this document should be read in conjunction with the ALT Operations and Maintenance Manual C64.65976 which is available on the Unipart Dorman...

Do not attempt to disassemble the scope to gain access to the internal lenses as this will disturb the optical alignment and the scope will need to be returned to Unipart Dorman for adjustment on the special to type jig C64.65201 Issue 3...
Two removable lifting rings are fitted to assist in mechanical lifting. Once in the required position, the CLS LITE is secured to the base platform using suitable mounting hardware. Ensure the Lower Backboard extension is fitted in its operational position as detailed below.

| 12 These instructions refer to standard climbable structures such as posts/gantries and the Collis Fold Down Post system only. The Collis Post is easily identified by the use of a single, separate spring pot on the unit. This Method is not to be used for signal heads mounted on the Unipart Dorman Spigot Mount fitted into the GRP Post and installed in the ALT.

| 14 Scope fitted in a 4 aspect head – 3 aspect tall housing scopes are fitted in the same position These two variants require the removal and retention of the plastic module spacer fitted to the pivot bar to give enough clearance for the scope to be fitted. Alternatively, unlock the module and lift off the pivot bar then slide the spacers into the centre of the bar.

| 15 The block needs to be repositioned on the opposite side of the frame where the door opening side is changed. Detailed instructions on swapping the door are in a later section of this document. Vertical adjustment of the head’s tilt angle is carried out by loosening the bolt on either side of the baseplate highlighted and tilting it about the pivot shaft.
Page 17
| 16 Horizontal adjustment is achieved by swivelling the head in the kidney slots on the fixed mounting as shown. Once the horizontal adjustment is complete tighten the mounting bolts to the torque value specific to the size and material of the fasteners used. C64.65201 Issue 3 Jun 2019...

The Collis Post System requires the use of a remote viewing device which attaches to the signal head by using the Unipart Dorman scope mount or another suitable method. The signal is raised, the alignment checked and then lowered for adjustment as required.

| 19 The following instructions are unique to the Unipart Dorman Assisted Lift Trunnion which is easily identified by the use of a single connection cover and a circular baseplate. Installation of the ALT is covered in its own O&M Document.
| 20 Preparing and Mounting the Signal Head Where the signal is to be installed in a Unipart Dorman ALT the standard CLS LITE base plate is replaced by a Spigot Bracket which fits into the GRP Post and where all of the angles are set during manufacture to enable signal alignment from ground level.
Page 22
| 21 A FOUR ASPECT HEAD WEIGHS UP TO 38 Kg AND SHOULD BE LIFTED OFF THE PALLET CAREFULLY To install the spigot, first slide the collar onto the post. Insert the post cable up through the bore of the spigot and connect the plug coupler.

Maintenance Manual C64.65976 which is available on the Unipart Dorman website. Where the head is mounted on the Unipart Dorman GRP post installed in an ALT, the alignment and all adjustment is done from ground level as the head is fixed in the bracket with no adjustment facility.
| 23 The diagram above shows highlighted in green, that the vertical adjustment slot in the side bracket has been replaced with a simple through hole bolt securing the housing to the base plate and the E-Clip/Locking Plate on the pivot bar with a split pin arrangement.

| 24 Using the existing Allen screws shown in green below, mount the plate at the bottom of the backboard. Correctly fitted backboard on a 3 aspect short housing signal head shown – 3 aspect tall and 4 aspect signals have the same arrangement) C64.65201 Issue 3 Jun 2019...
| 25 Alignment at the ALT General Notes GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ALIGN THE SIGNAL IN STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE SIGNAL SIGHTING FORM REQUIREMENTS The Signal Sighting Form (SSF) will provide the definitive, signal specific Alignment details and should always be consulted prior to commencement of work The signal should not be aligned to a target board when using the Assisted Lift Trunnion.
Page 27
| 26 Using the alignment scope to provide visual cues, the signal is adjusted horizontally by rotating the base within the kidney slots and vertically by adjusting the angle of the ALT using the securing and adjustment nuts and the spherical washer sets shown in red.
INSTRUCTIONS COMMON TO BOTH VARIANTS Electrical Connection To reduce the amount of spares that need to be held, all CLS LITE Modules have the splitter cable for the second Yellow module attached. If the signal only uses a single Red Yellow Green module the splitter cable will have a blanking cap fitted and it will be secured to the main plug coupler using a cable tie or fitted in the bracket on the inside of the door.
Page 29
| 28 The main connector is plug coupled and connected by aligning the keyway and lug inside the connector shells with a slight push to get the worm drive to engage and then turning the friction locking collar by hand until an audible ‘click’ is detected and the two indicator spots are aligned.

| 29 in the door bracket as shown. This stowage option can also be used where the feed cable is fitted with a blanking cap, The RYG Plug Couplers are stowed in their brackets in the positions shown in green below.
The instructions below are illustrated using a 4 aspect head but the procedure is also the same for both 3 aspect configurations. Unipart Dorman recommends that where the installation requires the door to be swapped, the signal alignment procedure is carried out using the camera attachment C64.65201 Issue 3...
| 31 or if there is insufficient space to fit the camera, the procedure is undertaken when the door is removed Do not reposition the adaptor block on the scope as this will invalidate the scope alignment which can only be reset on the manufacturing jig Door Preparation Note the assembly order of any fasteners removed in the instructions below, to ensure correct re-assembly sequence.

| 32 Lift the door off its hinges (shown in green) by driving out both of the two part hinge pins (shown in magenta below). Once the door is off, using an 8mm socket, remove the 4 x rubber doorstops (shown in red) fitted inside the door flange and retain.
| 33 Frame Preparation Remove the frame earth strap and fit it to the corresponding stud on the opposite side of the frame (shown in blue above). Move the two hinges to the opposite side of the frame. Do not tighten at this stage to allow later door/frame alignment.
| 34 Refitting the Door Rehang the door onto the frame using the two part hinge pins ensuring the short pins are fitted at the bottom of both hinges. Adjust the hinges on the mounting for satisfactory door operation and to give approximately 1mm clearance between the inner face of the door and the rolled edge on the frame.
| 35 Signal Husbandry If the signals require any cleaning to be carried out, the only mediums approved are water and proprietary detergents. Do not use any solvent based or abrasive cleaning material as this may irreparably damage the signal. Using a lint free cloth moistened with the water detergent solution, carefully wipe the lens clean and using a dry second cloth remove any water spotting etc.
