• Double Wire Compensators – Checking -
- That when the transmission is at rest, both the grips of
Locking Pawl are disengaged with the teeth of Ratchet
Rod. The weights must be floating freely and in level
with each other. During lever operation, checking that
they engage with the Ratchet Rod Teeth.
(12.184.5)
- All bolts, nuts & split pins. (12.184.2)
- Both weight levers move independently. (12.184.4)
- And Adjusting weight levers in such a way that during
the hottest period of the day, the lever must not reach
the breakage mark on the ratchet rod. (12.110.12)

Checking –
C3 Half Yearly • Warning board. (12.143.5)
Yearly Double Wire
• The tripping of D.W. Clutch levers. (12.187.3) – Also
ensure that With the insertion of a 5 mm test piece
between the switch and stock rail at 150 mm from the
toe of the switch, it shall be tested that the signal
governing the movement over the point is not cleared.
• Broken wire locks on Point and Lock mechanism and
ensuring that they are properly adjusted and are
working correctly. (12.186)
• Broken wire locks for easy movement by lifting the
compensator weights. (12.187.8)
Double wire frame – Conducting Dynamometer test
to ascertain that - (12.185)
• The force required to operate a lever does not
ordinarily exceed 35 Kg. In the case of a signal lever
without detectors, it shall not ordinarily exceed 27 Kg.
• Point, lock or detector lever clutch does not trip after
completion of lever movement. Should it do so, it
indicates that the coupling spring adjustment is not
correct or that somewhere in the transmission, usually
at point or lock mechanism or detector, tight working or
an obstruction exists. The cause shall always be
carefully traced and rectified.
DSMG SSE/SE
Double Wire - Conducting broken wire test as per the
C4 - Yearly procedure – (12.186 – 12.187.1 to 12.187.6)
The return wire shall be disconnected with the lever
normal and the pull wire with the lever reverse, to prove
operation of broken wire lock on Point or lock
mechanism. The disconnection shall be effected by,
removing the link pin adjacent to the lead out. The
tripping of the clutch shall also be observed when
taking broken wire tests of clutch levers.
To prove that the Point, Lock or detector lever clutch

will trail or trip with a broken wire, the clutch shall be so
adjusted that rope drum shall trail freely with a pull of
about 28 kg on the dynamometer. With a pull of 24 kg
the drum shall not trail and the clutch shall not lift
more than 2.5 mm. This test also to be done by
reconnecting the wire.
With the insertion of a 5 mm test piece between the

switch and stock rail at 150 mm from the toe of the
switch, it shall be tested that the signal governing the
movement over the point is not cleared. This test also
to be done by reconnecting the wire.
Each wire of transmission shall be disconnected, one at

a time by removing disconnecting link pin adjacent to
the lead out, to prove that signal arm (or either signal
arm in the case of two coupled signals) will return to or
remain at ‘ON’ with a broken wire.
Where clutch driven signal levers are used to prove

that the clutch will trip with a broken wire, each wire of
transmission shall be disconnected, one at a time, by
removing an adjusting screw pin near the signal
mechanism.
The tripping of the clutch shall be tested by means of an

auxiliary lever and adjustment of the coupling spring
checked. To assist trailing or tripping of the lever clutch
in case of broken wire, the wedge surfaces of coupling
pawl and rope drum shall always be kept clean and
slightly greased.
