Fig. 2-19 –Antenna for the SRS-FW400 system (red arrows show dragging direction)

The system includes from 1 to a maximum of 4 antennas and all antennas have a

frequency of 400MHz.

Each antenna is marked with a different colour on the case to simplify antenna

connection. So when connecting each antenna, make sure the corresponding coloured

cable is connected to the control unit on ports ANT. 1, ANT. 2, ANT. 3, ANT. 4,

depending on the number of antennas to be used (see an antenna in Fig. 2-18).

Each antenna must be mounted with the red arrows parallel to the drag direction (or

parallel to the tracks).

The dedicated “H” plate can be fixed to the top of the case so the case can be mounted

onto any customized mechanical kit.

2.7 Mechanical kit

way the antennas in front of the locomotive.

In details IDS provides:

• 6 supports in stainless steel with “L” shape

• 3 aluminium long bars for antennas
