RailComm's Switch/3rd Rail Heater Remote Controller provides an efficient method for operating and monitoring multiple switch heaters, snow melters, and 3rd rail heaters from a central location. Centralized remote control means decreased expense for manual labor, dramatically lower energy costs, increased reliability, and improved safety performance.
Now all of your switch and 3rd rail heaters can be operated automatically via remote control from a centrally located workstation. Productivity and safety are dramatically improved with RailComm's wireless remote control technology, eliminating the need for workers to perform the dangerous activity of manually operating switch and 3rd rail heaters.
RailComm's Switch/3rd Rail Heater Remote Controller also significantly reduces energy costs because heaters are energized only when necessary through RailComm's configurable DOC® control software.
With built in diagnostics, your maintenance personnel have all of the data they need before going out to the field. Each heater element is monitored by the system and logged to a file. When an element failure is detected, it can be alarmed and serviced before it affects train movement.
