Industrial Radio Remote Controls for Locomotives

The TH-EC/LO remote control system is the first remote control in the world which was specifically designed to adhere to the European safety regulations for locomotives (EN 50239).

The modular concept, with multiple options, opens up new possibilities for rationalization in the railway industry.
At the same time, the potential for accidents is reduced through improvements in safety features.

The TH-EC/LO is the result of a software and hardware design effort whith incorporates technology required by the
latest European regulations, especially EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129 as well as the requirements of the VDV 211. This guarantees a safe operation of a remotely controlled locomotive. Hereby remote control becomes a major and
important tool for increasing the availability and affordability of a modern shunting operation.

The system is suitable for all types of locomotives and fulfills the highest safety requirement of the risk class AK6 (DIN v 1925) and levels IL3 (EN 50128), SlL3 (EN 50129) and SIL3 (IEC 1508) for these applications.

The TH-EC/LO has a modular design which can be changed and expanded to handle additional tasks. It often makes sense, for example, to control very long trains not only with one transmitter, but with two transmitters in pitch and catch operation. This reduces the need for operators to walk long distances while shunting long trains making the job safer and easier. Another option allows electric track points to be operated remotely.
