Quad Cable:
Loss should be less than 30 db between SF and EF(1.2 db/km)
Every joint adds loss to the cable, minimize joints and take care
for making good permanent joints .
Insulation resistance to be more than 10 M ohms at 100 V DC
between conductors ,between pairs and between wire and armor
Loop resistance to be within 56 ohms/km
Maintain continuity of armor between SF and EF & earth at both
ends .
60. G.G.Tronics SSDAC
Precautions to be taken for trouble free operation
Parallel Circuits:
It has come to notice that usage, termination and wiring of quad cable is far from
satisfactory for trouble-free working of digital axle counters. Basic issue pertains
to electromagnetic interference from parallel circuits in the cable and location.
Following guidelines are recommended to enhance performance of DAC
systems.
Long parallel circuits shall be avoided in the same quad. Requirement is that
parallel circuit shall be as far spaced as possible. So, one long and one short
circuit can be accommodated in same quad but not both long circuits.
DAC circuits in BPAC of up and down lines in double line sections shall be in
separate quads and kept one/two quads away from each other as far as possible
to avoid mutual interference due to long parallel circuits.
DAC circuits in location shall not bunched along with parallel relay/power circuits.
Relay circuits are known to generate switching transients that can couple enough
energy in parallel circuits nearby and interference with low power circuits data
circuits.
Any other parallel wiring (relay circuits/power circuits/earthling wires etc) shall
cross DAC circuits at perpendicular and any parallel portion shall be kept at
minimum 150mm lateral distance away from the wiring for DAC circuits.
Relay circuits shall preferably be not taken in the same cable as DAC circuits. In
unavoidable circumstances relay circuits shall be in furthest quad (spatially) from
the one containing DAC circuits.
61. G.G.Tronics SSDAC
Precautions to be taken for trouble free operation
Twisting of Cable Pairs:
Twisted pairs are required to avoid mutual interference between low
level ac signals. Even short lengths of non-twisting (few inches) can
couple enough differential mode electromagnetic signals to interfere
with low voltage DAC communication signals.
Quad cable twisting shall be ensured during termination so that
minimum one twist per inch is maintained till the last inch into
terminations.
Any wiring from quad cable terminations to equipment shall be done by
using twisted singles of indoor signaling cable (1mm square) or any
other approved indoor twisted pair cable.
Signaling cable or any other untwisted pair cable shall never be used
in DAC communication circuits to avoid intermittent type of failure.
62. G.G.Tronics SSDAC
Precautions to be taken for trouble free operation
Continuity and Earthing of cable armor & screen at intermediate
terminations/Joints:
Screening of quad cable of effective when induced current can flow in the
screen thereby canceling/reducing the induction for the cable conductors.
For adequate induced current to flow in screen, it is necessary that good
earth connections are provided for screen & armor at all the cable
terminations and joints.
Quad cable screen & armor shall be made continuous at the intermediate
terminations/joints by soldering and connecting both ends of cable
screens & amours at the locations.
Connections to screen shall preferably be made by metallic clamps
soldered to screen to ensure good surface connection for electrical
continuity.
Combined earthing for both ends of armor and screen at intermediate
locations shall be ensured to be in good condition and having values as
low as possible but never more than 5Ω.
Earthing connection shall be kept short and as straight as possible
because any loop or turns can create inductive elements that impede
quick discharge of transients and surges to ground.
63. G.G.Tronics SSDAC

Earthing :
Earth resistance to be less than 2 ohms
