ERP-7 to LX should not exceed 5km. For longer distances amplifying units or modems must be used. Connections of elements of SPA-5/LVA (ERR-2) are shown at Figure 5 and Figure 6. SPA-5/LVA structure - example.
Page 15 DTRen-2008/SPA-5/LVA 4.3.2 Power supply system SPA-5/LVA power supply system is located on a dedicated rack. Power supply is divided into two parts – 230V AC and 24V DC part. ERR-2 - power supply structure. Figure 6 230V AC voltage part 230V AC voltage part is responsible for the supply of the system batteries, fun, heater, lighting and also electric socket inside shelter.
Modem (e.g. RAD ASM-20) Modems are required in case of long distances between elements of the SPA-5/LVA – Ebilock interface. Modems are connected with four wire cable and work in full duplex mode. Modem from one side has a digital interface (HDLC or V.24/RS232) and on the other side diphase modulated signal (EUROCOM Std.

DTRen-2008/SPA-5/LVA 4.3.5 Electrical Gate Machines SPA-5/LVA system can be equipped with up to 8 electrical gate machines (EEG) equipped with barrier boom ESD-8 [3]. Figure 12 shows scheme of the control circuits of the four gate machines N1, N2, N3, and N4. Gate machines N1, N3, N5 and N7 are powered by A channel and gate machines N2, N4, N6 and N8 are powered by B channel.

Normal operation of SPA-5/LVA is possible after removal of the failure and after system restart. System restart procedure requires to restart both PLCs and to depress and afterwards to press the START key of EMH-2 module (see chapter 4.2.5).
There is a logical “OR” between order “LX engage” sent from Ebilock and “manual engage” order (Z position of O/Z or O/Zz switch). That means that as long as O/Z or O/Zz switch is in Z position Ebilock will be not able to disengage LX. Bombardier Transportation (ZWUS) Polska Sp. z o.o.

ERP-7 is broken (local diagnostic panel EZG-17 is a transmission master in such situation; event logging is still possible if EZE-2 module is used). Z/L switch can be equipped with blocking key. Bombardier Transportation (ZWUS) Polska Sp. z o.o.
Activation and deactivation of the audible alarm is realised by digital PLC output OutA. If OutA is in high state then audible alarm is active. If OutA is in low state then audible alarm is not active. Bombardier Transportation (ZWUS) Polska Sp. z o.o.
If D1 is on constantly and D8 is off then EZE-2 works properly. During normal operation of EZE-2 D5 should flash (100ms for every few seconds) – that means that EZE-2 communicates with PLCs. Bombardier Transportation (ZWUS) Polska Sp. z o.o.
Each of circuits is responsible for the activation of the lamp (green LED on means lamp activated from PLC) and checking of the lamp circuit’s current (red LED on; not used in SPA-5/LVA). The front panel of EDZ-30 module is shown below.

“Operating Manual” [6] “Maintenance Instruction” [7] The operation of SPA-5/LVA consists of the operation of the control shelter/rack ERR-2 and of the operation of the remote control device ERP-7 and local control device EZG-17. Respective operational and maintenance instructions should be followed.
DTRen-2008/SPA-5/LVA REMOVAL AND RECYCLING After finish of SPA-5/LVA normal operation all devices on site have to be disassembled. If they are not vandalized, work properly and are not older than 20 years, they can be stored to be used as spare parts for other installations.
