2.1 Block Handle :
A mechanically operated rotary type handle, called Block Handle is located in the front
on the lower part of the Block instrument. Different contact positions of the handle are
shown in figure given below:

(DEVELOPED VIEW)

2.1.1 The handle is free to be turned between X and Y, R and D and also between L and B.
Movement of the handle to Train Coming From, Train Going To and back to Normal
position from Train Coming From and Train Going To is controlled by an electric lock
and this lock is required to be energized at Y position for turning handle to Train
Coming From and at D or B position for turning from Train Coming From or Train
Going To to Normal. For turning to Train Going To, the lock is initially energised at X
position but gets forced dropped before X and is actuated at X position for further
movement to Train Going To. The locking effective at X is termed as check locking
and is provided to ensure the conscious cooperation of the operator at the other end.
This locking is however not effective while turning the handle from Train Going To
normal even though the lock is forced dropped. It is because of the beveled edge of the
concerned notch on which the lock just slides over and does not cause an obstruction to
the movement of the handle.
The block handle assembly consists of 24 sets of spring contacts (circuit controller),
actuated during the course of handle of operation.
2.1.2 Need for Forced Drop Arrangement
When the lock gets energised then the handle is free to move from Normal to Train
Coming From/Train Going To position depending upon the code that is received. Due
to residual magnetism there is a possibility of lock armature to stick up, then the
operator can normalise the block handle from Train Coming From/Train Going To. To
avoid such type of irregular movement there is a need to lock the handle in respective
position. The projection on the locking bracket ensure the forced drop of the lock coil
so that the operator can not normalise the block handle, once it is turned to Train
Coming From/Train Going To, with out cooperation of other operator.
2.2 Galvo
Indicates incoming and outgoing DC current. The resistance of the coil is 18.2 ohms,
working current is 110 mA and working voltage is 2 volt.
2.3 Time release Indication
It is an electromagnetic indicator to indicate the maturity of Time Element Relay during

cancellation of a line clear. The coil resistance is 200 ohms.
Normally it shows white indication with words LOCKED and when operated it shows
green indication with words FREE.
2.4 TOL Indicator
It is an electromagnetic indicator(magnetic latch type). It operates on entry of train in to

block section at either of station.
When the Block section is clear, it displays white indication and when the train enters
into the Block Section on a line clear it changes to Red indication with writing “Train
On Line” and it holds magnetically. The indicator again changes to white when block
handle is turned from any position to line closed.
2.5 Switch S1 with counter

Switch Sl is a two position switch. when operated to reverse it initiates the

cancellation of line clear. The counter is used to register cancellation operation.
2.6 Switch S2 with counter
Switch S2 is a two position switch. when operated to reverse it is used for normalising
the instrument during a push-back operation of a train to the starting station.
Push Back operation is performed immediately after reversing S2. The counter is used
to register Push Back operation.
2.7. Push Button PB1
It transmits DC current for exchanging bell codes.
When PB1 is pressed alone it transmit
1. DC (-ve) on Line 1 for Bell.

2. DC (+ve) on L1 for TOL acknowledgment.
3. The same button, when pressed along with PB2, is used for sending of operational
code.
2.8 Push Button PB2
It is used in conjection with PB1 to transmit operational codes to permit the operation
of block handle at other station. The code sent is frequency modulated code along with
a DC (+ve) code.
PB2 is pressed always along with PB1 to pickup PBPR, which in turn sends ;
i) Frequency modulated code by switching on the Transmitter.

ii) DC (+ve) on L1.
2.9 Single Stroke Bell
It is mounted on the top of the instrument and is used for exchanging bell code signals
i.e. It provides to receive bell code. The bell coil is wound to a resistance of 310 ohms
and requires about 70 mA for operation.
It sounds when BLR or NR picks up and used for exchanging Bell Code.
2.10 Buzzer
Two electronic buzzers (BZ1 & BZ2) are provided in side the Block instrument.
BZ1 - It is a dual tone buzzer & sounds at both stations when the train enters into the
block section and stops after acknowledgment by the pressing PB1 at the train
receiving station.
BZ2 - It Sounds at the Receiving station on train arrival on proper reception signals and
sequence. It stops by normalizing the Home Signal SM’s slide/lever.

2.11 SM’s Key
To avoid unauthorised operation in the absence of SM.
When this key is taken out the block instrument becomes inoperative for all functions
except for:
i) Reception of Bell Code.

ii) Reception or transmission of TOL Code.
2.12 Shunting Key
This key is used as a shunting authority to shunt in any direction beyond Last stop
signal up to first stop signal of the station. It is normally kept inserted in the Block
instrument. It can be taken out only when the block handle is in Line Closed or Train
Going To position, and when taken out, the Block handle is locked mechanically in last
position. The insertion and extraction of key can be done only when SM’s key is
inserted and turned ON.
2.13 Transmitter
It transmits a frequency modulated output (1800 or 2700 with 65 or 85 Hz) when the
DC feed is connected to it by different selections. The modulated frequency is selected
by the transmitter by an external loop completed through the relevant selection
according to the condition of the block instrument.
2.14 Receiver
This receives the frequency modulated signals transmitted from the other end and gives DC
output for energising either CR1 or CR2 depending on the modulating frequency of the
code received. The receiver is switched on when the DC feed is connected through the
relevant selections.
2.15 The block instruments are designed to work either on 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz carrier
frequencies. The modulating frequencies are 85 Hz and 65 Hz and these are common
for all the instruments.
The codes used in the Block Instrument are
2.15.1 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 85 Hz with DC positive : To permit operation of

block handle from line closed to Train Coming From, Train Coming From to line
closed and Train Going To to line closed.
2.15.2 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 65 Hz with DC positive : To permit operation of

block handle from line closed to Train Going To.
2.15.3 1800 Hz or 2700 Hz modulated by 65 Hz : To set the other end’s Block instrument to
“Train On Line”.

2.15.4 DC negative : For exchanging bell code signals.
NOTE :
• DC positive refers to line battery positive connected to line 1 and negative to line 2.
• DC negative refers to line battery negative connected to line 1 and positive to line 2.
3. RELAYS NOMENCLATURES
3.1 BLR
It is a biased Relay and picks up when (+ve) on L2 and (-ve) on L1 is received from the
line and the single stroke Bell sounds through the pickup contacts of BLR.
3.2 NR
It is also a biased Relay and pickup when (+ve) on L1 and (-ve) on L2 is received from
the line, Single stroke Bell sounds and lock magnet energised through its pickup
contact.
3.3 PBPR
Picks up when PB1 & PB2 are pressed simultaneously or only PB1 with TOLR pickup
condition during TOL code transmission. It connects DC (+ve) on L1 and (-ve) on L2
and transmitter to the local Battery.
3.4 CR1 : Coding Relay
3.5 CR2 : Coding Relay
3.6 TRSR : Train sending Relay
3.7 1R
It proves the normal condition of reception signal’s and Last stop signal’s levers and
SM’s slide.
3.8 1TPR
This is a repeater of FVT Track Relay (ASTR).

3.9 TOLR : Train on line relay
3.10 2R
Picks up after the complete arrival of the train with proper sequence.
3.11 3R : Cancellation Relay
When S1 is turned for normal cancellation, after a specified time (120 sec.) delay it
picks up and the ‘FREE’ indicator energised through its pick up.
3.12 TEPR
Once S1 is turned for normal cancellation the electronic timer relay gives output of 24
v after a specified time delay (120 sec.) which in turns picks up the TEPR.
3.13 Timer Relay
It is an electronic Type Relay used for pickup of TEPR relay after 120 sec. time delay
in case of normal cancellation.
3.14 TELR
Telephone Relay of resistance 70 ohms, picks up when switch of hand micro telephone
is pressed and in turns it connects the telephone on line and also disconnect the TX &
RX from the frequency line.
3.15 External Relays :
3.15.1 ASR : Advance Starter Relay
3.15.2 HSR : Home Signal Control relay.
3.15.3 TAR : Train Arrival Relay
3.15.4 SNR : Signal Normal Relay
4. POWER SUPPLY
Three sets of batteries are required :
4.1. Line Battery
Line battery is normally of dry cells. The voltage is varying from 24 V depending on
the length of the block section in order to get a working current of 100 mA on line. This
battery is connected on line whenever the DC is required to be sent either foe
exchanging the bell signals or as a part of the operational code.

4.2. Local Battery
Local battery is of 24 Volt and is used for giving the supply to the transmitter and
receiver and also operating relays, indicators, local magnets etc. of the instruments.
Since the current drain on the battery is high, secondary cells are generally used.
4.3 Location/External Battery
It is used for external circuits to repeat the external conditions to the instruments
according to the requirements of the circuits. Picking up of PBPR, connects +ve to L1
& -ve to L2 and also switches on the DC feed for the transmitter. Since the block
handle is in normal position, the loop circuit is connected for the modulated output is
connected to the line.
5. SPECIAL FEATURES
5.1 Special features of Daido Tokenless Block Instrument are given below:
5.1.1 To ensure that the relays “NR” and “BLR” are not picked up simultaneously back
contact of NR relay is proved in BLR circuit. Similarly in the PBPR circuit back
contact of CR1 and CR2 relays have been provided to ensure that PBPR relay will not
be energized. While receiving modulated frequencies.
5.1.2 Front contact of PBPR Relay has been proved in the DC feed circuit of transmitter,
whereas back contact has been proved to the receiver circuit to guard against receiving
its own F.M. output modulated frequency transmitted similarly, back contact of CR2
and CR2 relays have been proved in the DC feed circuit for transmitted to ensure that
no code except the code of bell signals can be generated unless the code relays are de-
energised.
5.1.3 Since TOL code has to be transmitted automatically as soon as a train occupies FVT,
Front contact of PBPR Relay is not proved in DC feed circuit to the transmitter but the
same is taken in TOLR Front contact NR Relay back contact with the block handle at L
position.
5.1.4 Similarly for the receiver to be in readiness. To receive the TOL code, the DC feed
circuit is taken via 2R Relay back contact with the block handle “R” position.
5.1.5 Pressed contact of the PB2 button in the DC feed circuit of the transmitter, proves the
positive action taken to energise PBPR Relay for transmitting modulated frequency
along with DC.
5.1.6 Block handle contacts (BX) and (DY) are included in the DC feed circuit to the
receiver so that the DC feed to the receiver is switched on only. When the Block handle
operation is initiated. Thus minimising battery consumption.
5.1.7 SM’s key contact has not been provided in the DC feed circuit of Transmitter for
transmitting and receiving of automatic TOL code to ensure that the TOL indicator will
display, immediately the block sections occupied irrespective of the position of the
SM’s key.

5.1.8 To ensure that the relay CR1 and CR2 are not be energised one at a time, back contact
of CR1 relay is proved to energise CR2 relay and similarly back contact of CR2 relay is
proved to energise CR1 relay.
5.1.9 Cross protection to the lock Magnet is given through the CR1 and CR2 back contacts.
5.1.10 “Transmitter” and “Receiver” are connected to line through the back contact of TELR
relay is ensure that during conversation on telephone, no code is transmitted or received
by the transmitter and receiver respectively at either end. Similarly the telephone set is
connected to the lines through the front contact of TELR Relay and TELR Relay feed is
taken through the back contact of CR1 and CR2 relays to ensure that during
Transmission and reception of Code the telephone is disconnected the back contact of
TOLR is included in the TELR PICK UP circuit to ensure that the telephone circuit is
disconnected the moment TOLR picks up to transmit TOL Code.
5.1.11 TOLR relay is made slow to release since its energising circuit is through the front
contact of TRSR released stick circuit as through the back contact of TRSR relay.

6.2.9 While the block handle is being turned from one to another position, the circuit
controller contact (XY-RD-LB) of the handle in line circuit, in series with the relay
NR is opened between the Y&D points.
6.2.10 On opening of circuit controller contact in Line circuit, a resistance R3 to be added in
series to line circuit with a resultant reduction in the volume of line current ( which
remains substantially greater than the drop away current of NR). This cause a click on
Galvo needle at both stations, making it possible for SM of button pressing station to
know that the block handle has been turned. Then PB1 and PB2 at station A may be
released (The same procedure is followed in operating the handle as subsequently to
be described).

6.2.13 On getting the Bell & Galvo deflection at Stn. B, SM turns the block handle from N
point to as far as the X point. At X point TRSR picks up & releases the lock on block
handle by picking up lock magnet as per fig. 17 & 18. TRSR remains UP till X/ and
later on sticks through its own front contact in LX/ position of Block handle. The
lock magnet is once again required to be in picked up condition to release the block

6.2.14 When Block handle is in Train Going To position, i.e., Line clear is granted, Last stop
signal can be taken OFF by reversing the necessary controls like SM control on
signal, Lever/ switch/ push button operation etc. Reversing of any of above control
causes 1R to drop. An external relay ASR (Advance starter control relay) picks up as
per fig. 20. With ASR picking up, it possible to take OFF the Last Stop signal.

6.2.15 Now the train can be sent into block section. On entry of train into block section, FVT
track relay drops causing 1TPR to drop, thus releasing the stick circuit of TRSR to
drop. Dropping of the TRSR causes the ASR to drop and replace the Last Stop signal
to ON automatically.
6.2.16 With the 1TPR drop, the circuit of TRSR breaks , which drops with a time lag, but
before its dropping, TOLR picks up as per fig. 21 through Path 1.

When TRSR drops after the time lag, TOLR sticks through Path 2. the indicator
TOLK and buzzer BZ1 are actuated through a branch of a contact LB, indicating a
train departure (TOL).
An additional Path 3 is provided to prevent the premature dropping of TOLR during
transition, when other station is transmitting TGT code & at the same time TOLR
picks up. It ensures that TOLR will not drop before transmission of TOL code.
A Normal contact of S2 switch is provided in the stick circuit to stop the transmission
of TOL code, during a failure of its transmission or acknowledgment to silence the
departure buzzer.
6.2.17 At this time the advance starter lever is restored to normal position.

pick up. glows that means relay driving signal
is OK & the problem is with
respective relay, so replace it and get
the desired result.
If the level indicator Amber LED

glows:
The relay driving signal is missing,

check the following:
Input to the RX between 5&6 (+10V

to +13V PP) between 7&8 (+1.5V to
+ 2.5V PP), between 9&10 or 11&12
(+21.6V to +26V PP).
If the above voltage signals are not
regular/proper, open the cabinet and
follow the signal flow and check the
voltages.

8. EARTHING
A separate earth should be provided for each block instrument.
The resistance of earth shall not exceed 10 Ohm.
The earth shall be located on lower level soft ground far from underground cable, water
and gas pipes.
9. SAFETY CHECK
• Ensure that double lock is provided and seal is intact.
• Try to operate the instrument without cooperation i.e. without receipt of functional
code, it shall not be possible to turn the block handle from Line Closed to Train Going
To or Train Coming From position.
• On receipt of TGT code, turn block handle from Line Closed towards Train Going to
& stop midway. Disconnect Line & try to turn the handle further. It shall lock in check
lock position. Ensure armature of electric lock on block handle is force dropped in
check lock notch and the block handle can not be turned to Train Going to position.
• With a train in Block Section, try to bring the block handle to Line closed with &
without cooperation from other station, it shall not be possible to turn the block handle
to line closed position. The Block handle should remain locked in last operated
position.
For Last Stop Signal :
• Try to take OFF the Last Stop Signal without taking line clear (“L” position of block
handle), the signal should not clear.
• Shunt the FVT track, the Last Stop Signal shall go back to danger automatically.
• It is not possible to take OFF the Last Stop Signal again unless a fresh line clear is
obtained.
SUGGESTION :
a) Removal of Filter unit & X, Y relays in RE area.
b) Disconnect the two condensers of the Block Filter unit
c) The rare gas lightning arrestor should be replaced with MOVR.
10. MAINTENANCE

10.1 Periodicity of Overhauling
A thorough periodical overhauling in Workshop is necessary and the period shall not
exceed 7 years.
10.2 Maintenance
The following points are to be kept in mind while doing maintenance for reliable
working of block instrument.
• The local battery voltage at the instrument terminals on load should not be below 24
volts. Secondary cells of sufficient capacity may be used as the maximum working
current per instrument is about 2 Amps ( when thermal time element relay is used) &
0.6 Amp (when Electronic time element relay is used)
• The upper limit of local battery on load should not exceed 29 V as it may affect the
Zener diode working.
• The line battery shall be capable of circulate 110 mA in Line circuit measured at code
receiving station.
• The line current shall be measured both at the transmitting end and the receiving end.
There shall not be an appreciable variation.
• Separate battery or DC-DC converter shall be provided for line circuit of each block
instrument. Whenever the line battery/ DC-DC converter is changed, the line current
should be checked.
• ??Whenever old type condenser units are changed ( with 4 BA fixing screw ), ensure
that the other interconnected instrument condenser unit is also changed to the same type
since the values are different.
• Care shall be taken to ensure that the relay jack boards and relays are clean and dust
free.
• During the periodical Maintenance/ Inspection, the charger shall be switched “OFF ”
and the working of the relays shall be observed for few operations. The terminal
voltage should be monitored during the code transmission in order to ensure the
condition of the battery.
• Whenever the instrument fails, interchanging of relays and units shall not be restored
to, without ascertaining the actual cause and this change may be effected only if it is
warranted.
• While plugging in relays/ units, excessive force should not be exerted as it may affect
the jack board clips.
