Railroad – Transponder Tester
Portable microprocessor controlled device, designed to display the identification of a functioning type 3 Union Switch & Signal transponder.
The Transponder Tester is a portable microprocessor controlled device designed to display the identification of a functioning type 3 Union Switch & Signal transponder.
Transponders are passive devices, designed to be activated from a 200 kHz signal emitted from a cab reader system. When activated, a functioning transponder will radiate a 27 mHz signal that contains a 10 digit unique identifying number. The cab reader system then receives and decodes the 27 mHz so that passenger announcements may be made that are tailored to specific locations.
The tester essentially duplicates the functions of the cab reader system. It will activate a transponder as well as receive and decode the 27 mHz signal from the transponder. If a transponder is operational, the tester display will show the identification characters of the transponder.
In addition to displaying transponder identification numbers, this portable tester automatically displays Battery Status.
