circuit within the Victorian broad gauge network.

SECTION 4.0
4.1
BACKGROUND
General
The UM71 track circuit is a jointless track circuit suitable for vital train detection.
4.2
4.2.1
Track Circuit Operation and Components

Principle of Operation
The underlying working principle of jointless track circuits remains unchanged from
jointed track circuits. A power source energises receiver(s) through the track circuit
section; if any of the receiver(s) detects a loss of that power, the section is assumed
to be occupied and reported as such.
The primary difference is that jointless track circuits avoid the mechanical cutting of
the rails, the traditional insulated rail joints being replaced by tuned circuit elements.
Collectively, these tuned circuit elements are referred to as Electrical Separation
Joints (ESJs).
A number of components work in concert to provide the train detection capability.
The overall scheme of how the components work together is detailed below:
1) The transmitter outputs an electrical signal that is injected into the rails.
2) Nearby receiver(s) complete the circuit.
a. In the absence of a low resistance shunt 1 , the receiver(s) detect
sufficient transmitted power and indicate the track circuit section as
vacant.
b. In the presence of a low resistance shunt, the receiver(s) is unable to
detect sufficient transmitted power and indicate the track section as
occupied.
3) Adjacent track circuit sections are functionally isolated from each other, either
by the use of ESJs or insulated rail joints (IRJs).
The individual components are detailed in the following sections.
4.2.2
Transmitter (TX)
The transmitter generates a power-limited sinusoidal signal at one of four carrier

frequencies: 1700Hz, 2000Hz, 2300Hz or 2600Hz. The four transmitter variants are
also known as V1F1, V2F1, V1F2 and V2F2 respectively (see 4.2.4 for more
information on the naming scheme).
The transmitter is connected to the trackside interface (either a Matching Unit or a
combined Tuning Matching Unit) via a cable.
To provide additional protection against interference 2 , Binary Frequency Shift Keying
(BFSK) modulation is applied to the carrier frequency.
The BFSK scheme use frequencies at +/- 11 Hz of the carrier, and is modulated at a
rate of 1/128 of the carrier frequency.

E.g. train axles.

E.g. spurious voltages induced by 50 Hz currents.
The output signal from the transmitter can be adjusted by three different
mechanisms.
Coarse power adjustment via the maximum power output jumpers. These are
also known as the HP/LP jumpers.
Fine voltage adjustment via jumpers at the multi-tapped output transformer.
The transformer ratio (as determined by the jumpers) is referred to as the
KEM value.
Normal operation requires that the BFSK modulation function is enabled (via
a jumper).

4.2.3
Receiver (RX)
The receiver is used to detect the absence of a low resistance shunt in the
associated track circuit section. The receiver must recognise the corresponding
transmitted signals carrier frequency, BFSK modulation and detect sufficient signal
strength before energising the track relay (vacant status). Any other scenario will
result in the receiver de-energising the track relay (occupied status).
The receiver is connected to the trackside interface (either a Matching Unit or a
combined Tuning Matching Unit) via a cable.
The input signal, once inside the receiver can be adjusted via jumpers at the multitapped input transformer. The transformer ratio (as determined by the jumpers) is
referred to as the KRV value.
The receiver uses an adjustable pick up time delay to prevent untimely pick-up of the
track relay in the event of a short duration shunting loss (also known as Loss of
shunt timer).

4.2.4
Electrical Separation Joints (ESJs)
An ESJ ensures reliable separation of frequencies on all track circuits common to the
same ESJ. It is also the point at which the track circuit transmitters and receivers
inject/receive power into/from the track.
An ESJ is formed from two Tuning Units 3 connected to the track, with an Air Core
Inductor connected to the track midway. These trackside components in conjunction
with the tracks distributed elements form a semi-distributed filtering network.
Electrical drawings of these trackside components are available in section 9.10.
The ESJ scheme 4 divides the four carrier frequencies into two pairs (V1 and V2),
each pair having frequencies F1 and F2:
Pair V1: 1700 Hz (F1) and 2300 Hz (F2)
Pair V2: 2000 Hz (F1) and 2600 Hz (F2)
I.e. V1F1 is 1700 Hz; it is the F1 frequency of the V1 pair.
An ESJ will be capable of separating a track circuit operating at F1 from an adjacent
track circuit operating at F2, given that they are both from the same frequency pair.
3
Where combined Tuning Matching Units are used, this refers to the Tuning Unit portion of
the complete assembly.
4
For use with CSEE track circuits. The Tuning Units and Air Core Inductor are designed to
support the given scheme. Other jointless track circuit systems will likely have different ESJ
schemes and supporting components.
ESJs are not designed to separate adjacent track circuits operating on different
frequency pairs.
More details on the TUs are available in the corresponding section, but the basic
functionality of the ESJ can be described in an example scenario, in the absence of
any shunts:

Figure 3 ESJ basic layout
The 2000 Hz track circuit on the left hand side is fed by a TX through the V2F1 TU,
while the 2600 Hz track circuit on the right hand side has a RX connected through
the V2F2 TU.
Consider the behaviour of the V2F1 TU:
V2F1 allows the 2000 Hz signal to pass onto the 2000 Hz track circuit
section.
V2F1 allows the 2000 Hz signal to pass into the ESJ region.
o It will not block the 2000 Hz from further propagation; thats a
function for the V2F2.
V2F1 blocks the 2600 Hz signal from entering the 2000 Hz transmitter.
V2F1 blocks the 2600 Hz signal from further propagating into the 2000 Hz
track circuit section.
o This is the crucial function of the ESJ to functionally isolate two
adjacent track circuits.
Consider the behaviour of the V2F2 TU:
V2F2 allows 2600 Hz signal to pass into the 2600 Hz receiver.
V2F2 allows 2600 Hz signal to pass into the ESJ region.
o It will not block the 2600 Hz from further propagation; thats a
function for the V2F1.
V2F2 blocks the 2000 Hz signal from entering the 2600 Hz receiver and
from further propagating into the 2600 Hz track circuit section.
o This is the crucial function of the ESJ to functionally isolate two
adjacent track circuits.
The above pass and block behaviours are simplifications of the actual circuit
behaviour; a complete steady-state analysis is needed for a full description. Roughly
speaking:
The pass behaviour mimics the circuit behaviour where the joint TU-rail
network exhibits relatively high impedance looking in from the Matching Unit
side. This ultimately allows enough signal strength (from the correct
transmitter) to arrive at the receiver for a vacant status.
The block behaviour mimics the circuit behaviour where the TU presents
with very low impedance. For instance, the V2F2 TU will reactively 5 shunt the
2000 Hz signal; but not the 2600 Hz signal. This frequency selective shunting
is the underlying basis for ESJs.
The real circuit behaviour is such that containment by the reactive shunts is
not absolute, but the signal leakage across the ESJ is far below the strength
detection threshold (if designed, operated and maintained to specifications).
4.2.4.1 Air Core Inductors (ACIs)

An Air Core Inductor is installed at the midpoint of an ESJ, and serves two functions.
It forms a part of the ESJ as a lumped component (increasing the filters Q factor),
and it also balances the track current between rails on which it is installed. The ACI
is not shielded and is sensitive to nearby metallic objects.
The same ACI is used for all frequencies.
ACIs are not designed for balancing traction currents between adjacent lines. They
serve a function of balancing traction currents between rails of a single track circuit
only.

4.2.4.2 Tuning Units (TUs)

Tuning Units contain passive lumped components that form part of ESJs, and are
connected to a TX or RX unit through a Matching Unit.
In ESJ configurations, the TUs are designed for continuous operation where there is
either:
TX and RX connected on opposing sides of an ESJ.
RX and RX connected on opposing sides of an ESJ.
Where two TX are connected on opposing sides of an ESJ, maximum permissible
power dissipation places limitations on the maximum track lengths. Consequently,
the TX and TX configuration at an ESJ is not preferred and should be only
considered as a last resort.
There are four different TU variants, each corresponding to a specific frequency in a
frequency pair:
V1F1
o For use with the V1 frequency pair (1700 Hz and 2300 Hz)
The shunt is reactive in the sense that the TU only contains reactive components. Unlike
resistive shunts (eg train axles and test shunts), reactive shunts are frequency sensitive. TUs
are designed for a frequency response that is compatible with the overall ESJ scheme.

sufficiently far away from the resonance point to have relatively high
impedance.

At the TUs shunting frequency (eg 1700 Hz for a V1F2 TU), it is at or near
resonance, with very small impedance.

4.2.4.3 Matching Units (MUs)

A Matching Unit is installed between the TU and either a TX or RX. In specific cases,
the TU is bypassed and the MU connects directly to the rail.
The MU has a number of pre-determined configurations. The transformer ratio, or
KMU is typically fixed by the configuration choice.
11
In the TX configuration, MUs are 10:1 transformers; it also has the series inductor to
limit the current flow while the transmitter is being shunted.
In the RX configuration, MUs are 1:1 transformers.
In one of the PPD configurations, MUs are transformers; in the other PPD
configuration, the MU is substituted with a variable resistor.
In the DCR configuration, MUs are 1:1 transformers with the series resistor added.

A Dual Matching Unit is the combination of two Matching Units within one trackside
case.

A Tuning Matching Unit is the combination of a Tuning Unit and Matching Unit within
one trackside case.
Typical installations with a separate TU and MU will have a back-to-back
arrangement. TMUs allow the use of a single case instead; the form factor change
means that the connection arrangements are slightly different to the scenario with
separate units.
Note that TMUs do not have a built in resistor for the DCR configuration.

4.2.5
Track compensation capacitors
In order to extend the maximum of length of a track circuit, track compensation

capacitors can be used. Track compensation is only used if there is a need for it.
12
The working principle behind track compensation is the reduction of the tracks
characteristic impedance.
Without track compensation, the characteristic impedance of the physical track tends
to be very inductive and relatively high in magnitude. The transmitters impedance
and the track impedance determine the amount of power that can be injected into the
track 6 .
With track compensation, shunt capacitors are inserted into the track circuit section
at predetermined regular intervals, reducing the tracks characteristic impedance.
This lower characteristic impedance results in better impedance matching between
the track and the transmitter; more power is now injected into the track, allowing for a
longer track circuit.
4.3
Intermediate Data Collectors (IDCs)
Intermediate Data Collectors (IDCs) are auxiliary receivers, which can be installed
within the parent track circuits limits. They provide the ability to split the parent
track circuit into two sub-track circuits without the full cost of installing two separate
track circuits. This approach is not always technically appropriate and the limits of
IDCs need to be kept in mind.
An IDC creates two sub-track circuit sections; one covers the RX IDC section, and
the other the TX IDC section. When only the RX IDC section is occupied, only
the RX IDC section is reported as occupied. However when the TX IDC section
is occupied, both the RX IDC and TX IDC sections are reported as occupied.
There are two types of IDCs, one operating in voltage mode and one in current
mode.
IDCs are not compatible with track compensation. The electrical behaviour of a
compensated track being shunted is different to the electrical behaviour of a
non-compensated track being shunted. This is not an issue with the parent track
circuit, since the receiver does not see this change in electrical behaviour. However,
IDCs, being in the middle of the track circuit, will see the full extent of this behaviour;
IDCs are not designed to operate under these conditions and may contribute to a
failure in such a scenario.
4.3.1
Pin Point Detectors (PPDs)
A Pin Point Detector is a current-mode IDC. It works in conjunction with a MU or an

adjustable resistor; there is no associated TU. Use of a MU gives better noise
immunity, whereas the use of an adjustable resistor gives more flexibility in the
design / installation.
The demarcation point between the two sub-track circuit sections is sharp and
located at the PPD. PPDs can be used to provide overlaps and release of level
crossings.
The PPD operates by monitoring the current through a rail. The PPD unit is a
contact-free inductive device tuned to one of the track circuit carrier frequencies.
While the TX PPD sub-track circuit section is not being shunted, current is flowing
6
In other words, the transmitter and the track are not impedance matched by design.
13
through the rails (either through the RX or through a shunt on the RX PPD subtrack circuit section), resulting in the PPD providing an output above the detection
threshold. The moment the TX PPD sub-track circuit is shunted, current is diverted
through the shunt and current through the PPD is reduced to near zero, resulting in
the PPD providing an output below the detection threshold.
PPDs are available in four variants, each corresponding to a track circuit carrier
frequency. They connect to a standard RX unit through the MU / resistor.
The output of the PPD is voltage-mode, and is proportional to the tuned current being
sensed in the rail. Consequently, there is a minimum requirement on the track circuit
current for the PPD to function properly.
A boosting unit located near the PPD can be used to increase the track circuit current
to meet the minimum current requirement. It is a passive unit composed of a
shunting resistor, isolated from the DC track current through blocking capacitors.
There is a choice of boosting unit values to accommodate requirements.
If a track shunt is applied or a train occupies the track section between the PPD and
the RX, operation of the PPD may be unreliable. For this reason the design should
ensure that the parent track is not occupied while train detection in only the TX
PPD section is required.
Figure 5 PPD operation
4.3.2
Data Collectors (DCRs)
A Data Collector is a voltage-mode IDC. It works in conjunction with a MU; there is

no associated TU. The MU has the series resistor in circuit to increase the input
impedance of the DCR, reducing the load it presents to the parent track circuit.
The demarcation point between the two sub-track circuit sections is not precisely
defined, as it varies with ballast resistance. It can vary from 35m to 80m from the
DCR location, in the direction of the parent RX.
The DCR operates by monitoring the voltage across the rails. If the voltage is above
a threshold, then the DCR can assume that the sub-track circuit section between the
DCR and the transmitter has not been shunted, and report it as vacant.
14
If the voltage is below a threshold, then something is shunting the sub-track circuit
section between the DCR and transmitter, and the sub-track circuit is reported as
occupied.

4.4.1
Track Circuit Specifications

Drop shunt
The maximum resistance of a non inductive resistor which, when connected between
the rails causes track circuit to be detected as occupied is called the Drop Shunt.
Outside of the ESJ, a Minimum Drop Shunt value of 0.1 is guaranteed, in the
absence of external contaminants.
In the ESJ, the Drop Shunt value varies downwards from 0.1 and there is an
overlap of the shunt areas of the two successive track circuits with RX / TX and RX /
RX ESJ. There is no overlap for TX / TX ESJs, however this arrangement should be
avoided.
The Drop Shunt value is similarly defined for IDCs; a value of 0.1 is guaranteed
between the transmitter and the IDC.
4.4.2
Traction return
UM71 track circuits are not designed to operate in single-rail mode under traction.
4.4.3
Storage conditions
Track circuit equipment needs to be stored in dry, well ventilated area. Do not store
near equipment releasing corrosive vapours such as lead acid batteries. Storage
temperature range is -30 C to +70 C.

Physical arrangement: Track circuit over points
In this arrangement, transmission is provided at the converging end of the track

circuit. Receivers are installed at the other ends of the track circuit. This is
effectively a centre-fed arrangement with one leg folded back on the other; additional
requirements apply on account of the points bonding required between the two legs.
This is a non-preferred configuration within the Metropolitan area; Infrastructure
Manager approval is required prior to selection in design.

Track circuit separation and frequency selection

Adjacent track circuits shall be separated through either an ESJ or IRJ.
If track circuit is adjacent to a non-UM71 track circuit, then an IRJ shall be
used for separation.
Track circuits have a choice of four carrier frequencies, grouped in two
frequency pairs.
a. Frequency pair V1 consists of 1700 Hz (F1) and 2300 Hz (F2), and is
generally allocated to the down track.
b. Frequency pair V2 consists of 2000 Hz (F1) and 2600 Hz (F2), and is
generally allocated to the up track.
Track circuits installed on adjacent parallel tracks shall operate on a different
frequency pair.

Adjacent track circuits shall use different frequencies from the same
frequency pair.
Adjacent track circuits shall not use frequencies from different pairs.

An ESJ configured with two transmitters is not preferred on account of
excessive power dissipation in the TUs and is subject to additional
restrictions:

The length of the short track circuit TC-A shall be 50% of the longest
possible track (ie 50% of 650 m is 325 m).
e. The use of boosting units or track compensation further increases power
dissipation and is advised against.

b. ESJ shall not be installed across two different formation types, such as
ballast and slab.
ESJs shall be installed on rails that have uniform transmission line
characteristics. The following are the minimum requirements:

Testing and Commissioning
General
VRIOGS 012.5 remains as the top-level T&C document.
T&C requirements specified in this document are intended to supplement
VRIOGS 012.5 in terms of detail that is specific to UM71 track circuits.
Typically the requirements in this section are sequential in nature, and shall
be read accordingly.
Where there are deviations from the typical setup, eg if the 2.3sec LOS timer
is not set, they need to be accounted for in the following steps.
Track circuit setup
Prior to testing, the track circuits need to be setup for operation.
IDC sub-track circuits are excluded from this setup stage; they require the
parent track circuit to be commissioned first.
TX need the following to be set through jumpers:
a. Output level, also known as KEM
b. Maximum power output
c. Modulation output
RX need the following to be set through jumpers:
a. Input level, also known as KRV
Each MU need the following to be set through jumpers:
a. Configuring MU for proper interfacing
Depending on track circuit configurations, the installer may have installed
preliminary (jumper) settings as specified by the designer. In these cases,
the setup is now deemed to be complete.
Where preliminary settings were not installed (intentionally or otherwise), the
setup shall occur in the field.
a. Section SECTION 5.0 and typicals in Appendix B shall be used to
determine the jumper settings.
b. If the specific adjustment method is required, refer to 7.4.5.
IDC setup
Before an IDC can be setup for operation, its parent track circuit shall first be
commissioned and set to work.
PPD setup
If the MU configuration is used, boosting unit selection is the only setup
required.
If the adjustable resistor configuration is used, the resistor shall be adjusted to
give a typical voltage of 330 mV across R1- R2 at the PPDs RX, with a
minimum of 270mV.
KRV jumpers are not be used.
Boosting unit selection
a. Four variants are available: 10 , 7.5 , 5 and 2.5 , all rated at 10 W.
b. A variable resistor shall be used to determine which boosting unit variant
(if any) is selected.
c. The boosting unit, if required, shall have the highest resistance that is
reasonable and suitable.
d. Boosting units shall not be operated above their rated power.

DCR setup
The DCRs RXs R1-R2 voltage shall have a target value equal to the parent
branchs RXs R1-R2 voltage.
The DCRs KRV ratio shall be less than the parent branchs KRV.
Checking
Following references are provided for convenience:
a. Appendix 9.3 for ESJ configurations
b. Appendix 9.4 for IRJ configurations
c. Appendix 9.5 for centre-fed TX configuration
d. Appendix 9.7 for PPD configuration
e. Appendix 9.6 for DCR configuration
Confirm that the bonding, wiring and connections are complete for:
a. On-track (bonding), and track connection points
b. Track to trackside units
c. Trackside units to location
d. Within location
Confirm jumpers on the TX and RX units are in place as per plans.
Checking TX
Power up the TX and check voltage on terminals A+ and A- is 24 volts (22.5V
to 28.8V).
Check the output of the TX is between maximum and minimum values shown
on the universal adjustment tables in Appendix A, where applicable.
Checking RX
Power up the RX and check voltage on terminals A+ and A- is 24 volts (22.5V
to 28.8V).
Check the track relay has energised. The track relay will energise at 200
210mV and de-energise at 170 180mV.
Check the RX for the C C2 jumper (2.3 second loss of shunt timer)
Perform the measurements specified on the track circuit data sheet. Check
that the measured values fit within the specified values of the universal
adjustment tables in Appendix A, where applicable.
Perform the 0.1 ohm test shunt at the extremes and centre of the track circuit.
a. Verify the track relay itself has de-energised.
b. Check there is a perceptible delay prior to relay energisation after shunt
removal.
c. Shunts shall be placed 1m inside the track circuit from each TU for the
tests at extremities.
Checking PPD
Check that the PPD is placed 65 mm from running edge of rail.
Check that the boosting unit is 1 m from the PPD on the RX side.

Specific adjustment
Specific adjustment is an empirical approach to setting the KRV ratio.
It has been colloquially referred to as the 350 Rule.
Specific adjustment shall only be used with the consent of the Infrastructure
Manager, and where the universal adjustment method is either not directly
applicable or has failed to provide a stable track circuit.
The weather condition (very wet/wet/dry, etc) shall be recorded.
KRV ratio, in the first instance, shall be determined by the following formula,
with the result rounded up:
KRV = 350mV x 58
V1V2
a. V1V2 is the voltage across RXs V1-V2.
Where additional KRV adjustments are required for track circuit operation, the
following limits are in place:
a. Voltage across RXs R1-R2 does not fall below 240 mV, if adjustment is
made in wet weather.
b. Voltage across RXs R1-R2 does not exceed 450 mV if adjustment is
made in dry weather.
c. Infrastructure Manager approval is particularly critical if additional
adjustments are used.
