Page 6: Introduction
§ Cant § Depending on the technical design and configuration options, RCAD can be used to measure and record a range of different measurement variables. Data is acquired within the specified measuring ranges and tolerances (à chapter 6). Users must be properly trained and qualified to use the measurement device. Consequently, users are advised to undergo a practical induction course by V&P or someone authorised by... -
Page 7: Functional Components
The measurement device comprises the following functional components: Fig. 1: Designation Narrow support (moveable) Adjusting knob (incl. clutch-mechanism) Display with keypad Handle Base frame Wide support Battery box © 2016 by Vogel & Plötscher GmbH & Co. KG RCAD Version 2.0 25.01.2015... - Page 8 Background illumination will be enabled (disabled) if ON/OFF button is pressed again while device is already switched on. Activated background illumination of the display will stress the batteries and shorten operation time. © 2016 by Vogel & Plötscher GmbH & Co. KG RCAD Version 2.0 25.01.2015...

Page 9: Start-Up
3. Start-up 3.1 Safety instructions RCAD is a state-of-the-art system, assuring a high degree of reliability. However, that reliability can only be attained in practice if all the necessary measures are taken. It falls within the duty of care of the company operating the measuring device to en- sure that those measures are taken, and to monitor their implementation. -

Page 11: Initialization Of Gauge Sensor
The two recorded cant values are compared. The values should not differ by more than 1,0 mm, with an inverted preceding sign. In the event of a variation > 2 mm, the inclination sensor has to be initialized (à Section 3.3.4). © 2016 by Vogel & Plötscher GmbH & Co. KG RCAD Version 2.0 25.01.2015... -
Page 12: Initialization Of Inclination Sensor
In case the initialization procedure fails to deliver any improvement, the measuring device must be checked and recalibrated at the factory. Fig. 4a Fig. 4b © 2016 by Vogel & Plötscher GmbH & Co. KG RCAD Version 2.0 25.01.2015... -

(that is, on the check rail) (à Fig. 9). With the adjusting knob, turn the measuring probe of the narrow support towards the crossing as far as it will go. The measurement value can now be read. © 2016 by Vogel & Plötscher GmbH & Co. KG RCAD Version 2.0 25.01.2015... -
Page 16: Measuring Of Check Rail Gauge With Broad Measurement Base (Optional)
4.2.4 Measuring of check rail gauge with broad measurement base (optional) Mount the broad measuring base on the corresponding fixture on the RCAD and fix it in place by the screw fitting. Then insert the broad measuring base in the switch on the crossing side. When doing so, bridge the tip of the crossing and the inside edge of the wing rail in front of the wing rail bend point (à... -
