Trackside The Hot Wheel Detector Sub-System (Figure 1-2) consists of two pedestal-mounted Scanner Assemblies, and a Micro Hot Wheel Detector. Detecting wheel-heat is accomplished by a device that utilizes a pyrometer to sense the infrared radiation emitted by each wheel. The sensor is located within the scanner assembly, and is protected from the environment by a transparent vinyl window. Polyethylene is used because of its low IR absorption characteristics. The dual scanner assemblies are positioned so that the 'line of sight' is 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) above the heads of the rails, and at angle of 90 to the rail. Even at train speeds of 120 miles per hour (which translates to a viewing

Signals from the Scanner Assembly are routed via buried cable to the Hot Wheel Detector Subsystem. A thermostatically-controlled heater within the scanner housing prevents the accumulation of snow, ice and moisture on the scanner's window.

Theory of Operation
Introduction
A Pyro-HWD scanner operates as an integral part of a Micro HBD/HWD Detector System. The purpose of a Pyro-HWD scanner in an HBD system (Figure 3-1) is to detect potentially dangerous temperatures existing in the wheels of a passing train. To accomplish its purpose, the Pyro-HWD scanner: Detects the infrared heat emitted by each wheel of a passing train, and produces an analog-voltageequivalent of the heat emitted by each wheel. The signal produced by the scanner is routed via buried cables that connect the scanner(s) to the (HSIB) Hot Wheel Scanner Interface Board in the Hot Wheel Detector Sub-System located in a wayside equipment enclosure.

POLYETHELENE WINDOW
Heater and Thermostat Assemblies Circuit Operation The thermostat assembly is connected in series between the two heater assemblies (Figure 3-3). Line voltage is applied to the heater assemblies via connections at the HWD. When the temperature of the grill assembly (reference Figure 3-2) falls below 80 oF +7 oF (27 oC +4 oC) the thermostat closes, thus completing the electrical path through the two, 100 Watt heaters. When the temperature reaches 100 oF +5 oF (38 oC +3 oC) the thermostat opens. Capacitor C17 and resistor R41 function as a contact-spike suppression circuit that eliminates transient voltages from occurring when the thermostat contacts open and close.
Sensor Assembly Circuit Description The components within the HWD Scanner Assembly (Figure 3-3) are connected to ground and DC and AC operating voltages on the Hot Wheel Detector Sub-System via shielded interconnect cable 400082-97, which connects to Channel 1/Channel 2 located on the Hot Wheel Detector Sub-System. DC Power Supply U17 on the Hot Wheel Detector Sub-Systems HSIB (Hot Wheel Scanner Interface Board) provides +Vdc for the pyrometer and its preamp via Channel 1/Channel 2; the ground path for the pyrometer and the preamp is via Channel 1 pin 5, Channel 2 pin 5. Channel 1 pins 6 & 7 and Channel 2 pins 6 & 7 provide 115 Vac (BX) and AC neutral (NX), respectively, for the thermostatically-controlled scanner heaters. Channel 1 pin 8 and Channel 2 pin 8 provide earth ground for the HWD chassis. The pyrometer sensor assembly and the components that comprise the preamp assembly are extremely sensitive to voltage fluctuations and noise. This sensitivity, combined with the low level of the signal generated by the pyrometer preamp, requires devices that shield, filter and trap unwanted noise and transients.
3-2
100365-010 AB0
Theory of Operation
Devices such as filter capacitor C14 filters the +Vdc as it enters the preamp; a varistor (RV1) protects the preamp from transient voltages on the +Vdc; resistor R41 and capacitor C17 form an RC filter network that dissipates transients created when the thermostat opens. A Hot Wheel Detector Sub-System baseline configuration includes two Pyro-HWD scanners. Operation is identical for all HWD scanners.

Two-Scanner Wheel-Scan Profiles Figure 3-4 illustrates what each scanner in a two-scanner installation actually 'sees' as the wheels on the near- and far-rails pass the scan line. The scan line indicates the area viewed as the wheel passes the scanner's 2" (50.8 mm) diameter spot-size field of view. The scanners are aligned on a common line of scan, therefore regardless of train direction each scanner 'sees' a portion of only the outside surface of each wheel. The resulting heatpulse profile has a characteristic dip, as shown in the figure: the high portions correspond to the flange; the dip represents the heat on the outside surface of the wheel.

Verifying the Scanner Assembly Vertical Alignment (Plumb) Using a carpenter's level, verify that the Scanner Assembly/Pedestal Assembly is plumb; measure plumb at two points that are 90o apart. If it is found to be severely out of plumb, the Scanner Assembly/Pedestal Assembly may have to be reinstalled at this or another location.
Cleaning the Pyrometer Assembly Lens 1. 2. 3. 4. Using an Allen key, remove the two screws securing the Scanner Assembly top cover. Store the cover and hardware in a safe place. Using a clean, soft-bristle paint brush, carefully brush the surface of the lens to remove loose dust and dirt. Using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and soft cotton or a cloth, carefully clean the lens; wipe dry with a soft, lint-free tissue. Install the Scanner Assembly top cover; secure it with the screws.
Cleaning/Inspecting the Exterior of the Scanner Assembly Using a stiff-bristle brush, remove accumulations of dirt and foreign matter from the exterior of the Scanner Assembly. In the case of insect nests such as mud wasps, carefully remove the nests with a small screw driver, then use a soft sponge soaked in a mild detergent solution to remove the remaining mud/residue. Inspect the exterior for signs of damage; replace if required. If necessary, verify the scanner assembly/target alignment.
Inspecting the Scanner Assembly for Chips and Rust 1. 2. Clean and inspect the scanner exterior. Inspect the exterior of the Scanner Assembly for paint chipping and areas of rust. If painting is necessary, use a wire brush and/or abrasive paper to thoroughly clean the area to be painted. Use an EPA-approved silver paint, such as Water Reducible Silver Gloss by Hartin Corporation. Read and follow the paint manufacturer's instructions regarding weather/temperature restrictions.
Note:
Verifying the Scanner Assembly/Target Alignment There are two procedures for performing scanner assembly/target Alignment: one involves the use of a Mirror Lens Cap & Target Kit (PN 200099-81-6), the other is a direct-sight method that utilizes a rigid metal tube. The tube should have an inside diameter of approximately 1/4 inch, and is 12" to 14" in length. Alignment of the Scanner Assembly/Target requires two people, and is applicable for any HWD system that utilizes transducers.
Inspecting the Quality/Condition of the Ballast Verify that the ballast is free of weeds, branches, and any foreign matter that could prevent proper drainage of the ballast. Inspect the grade in the area of the scanner assembly; if necessary, add ballast and re-grade.

Introduction
This section describes how to install the components comprising a Pyro-HWD in a Micro HBD/HWD system.
Installation Sequence
The installation procedures are divided into three topics: a. b. c. Scanner Assembly (Single and Double), Cabling connections in the wayside enclosure, Calibration.
The Scanner Assembly can be installed in a timely manner by referring to the Installation Checklist located at the end of this section.
1.
Using the site plan as a guide, stake out the areas to be excavated for the scanners. Footings may be required: the one depicted in Figure 6-1 is approximately 43 inches (10.9 cm) on each side and 8.5 inches (216 mm) high.

Installation 2. 3. Excavate both areas to the required depth; install footings if required. Trench from each excavated area to the wayside equipment enclosure; this is for the cable assemblies that interconnect each scanner to the Micro HWD in the enclosure. Exercise extreme care while assembling the scanners to avoid damaging the viewing lenses.
Note: 4.
For your convenience, locate the two cables labeled 400082-97 and place them inside the wayside equipment enclosure (these cables will be routed from the enclosure to the foundations later in this procedure). Locate one of the signal foundations (Figure 6-1), the 3/4 inch lock and flat washers, and 3/4-10 x 9" threaded rods supplied. Install a flat washer, lock washer, and a nut on one end of each rod. Insert each rod up through the bottom of each slotted hole in the foundation's mounting plate (Figure 6-2). Install a flat and lock washer and a nut on each rod; run the nuts down to the plate but do not tighten them at this time.
5.
365-0048
6. 7. 8.
Install a nut on each of the rods; leave about 1.5 inches (38 mm) of rod exposed (Figure 6-2). Install the Base Assembly (400080-45) onto the rods. Install a flat and lock washer and nut on each rod; do not tighten the nuts at this time.

Figure 6-3, Installing the Base 9. Adjust the position of the rods such that they are centered in the slotted holes of the base and the plate. Carefully tighten the nuts that secure the rods to the foundation base.
10. Insert the Tube Housing Assembly into the base; ensure that the tube is flush with the bottom of the base. Tighten the bolt that secures the Tube Housing to the Base Assembly. 11. Position the base such that it is centered on the four rods that secure the base to the plate; carefully tighten the nuts. 12. Loosen the two screws that secure the scanner cover (Figure 6-1) to the scanner base. Remove the cover; store it in a safe place. 13. Install one of the cable PVC conduits between the wayside equipment enclosure and the scanner location. 14. Locate one of the cables labeled 400082-97 inside the wayside equipment enclosure. 15. Locate the nine leads on cable 400082-97. Snake this end of the cable through the PVC to the steel foundation. 16. At the steel foundation, insert the end of cable 400082-97 between two of the foundation's legs and then up through the tubing assembly. Allow approximately 12 inches (305 mm) of cable to protrude out of the scanner base. 17. Stand the signal foundation in the excavated area (or on the footing, if one is installed). 18. Repeat steps 5 through 17 for the other scanner 19. At the rail on which the transducers are mounted, locate the magnetic center of transducer A; mark both rails. Repeat this step for transducer B. 20. At the rail on which the transducers are mounted, locate and mark the center between the two marks made in step 19; mark the other rail. Note: Dimensions in Figure 6-3 are: A = 52" (1321 mm); A' = 72" (1829 mm).

100365-010 AB0
Installation 21. Using Figure 6-4 as a guide, determine the location for one of the scanners: both scanners must be located the same distance (+ 0.5" [12.5 mm]) from the respective rail. Note: Care must be exercised to ensure exact positioning of the scanner assembly throughout its installation. Progress Rail Services engineering recommends performing frequent verifications of the scanner's position, plumb, and distance from the rail during the installation procedure.
22. Using a carpenter's level, a tape measure, and the dimensions for A or A' derived from Figure 6-4, position the signal foundations such that three measurements are simultaneously achieved for each: the center of the tube assembly is the correct distance from the rail and is in the center of the gate, and the signal foundation is plumb.

Installation
Figure 6-6, Connecting the Cable Leads to the Terminal Block 25. Backfill the excavation to approximately grade level (final grading will be accomplished later). 26. Repeat steps 19 through 25 for the other scanner. Note: Alignment of the scanner assembly can be accomplished via two methods: the mirror cap assembly and alignment fixture method, and the direct-sighting method.
27. Align the scanner assembly: the mirror cap assembly and alignment fixture method begins at step 28; the direct-sighting method begins at step 42. 28. Install the HWD Alignment Fixture (Figure 6-7) on the rail opposite the scanner to be aligned. Ensure that the fixture's index mark is directly over the centerline mark (on the rail) between the two transducers. Ensure that the alignment fixture is fully seated on the rail head. 29. Ensure that the target faces the scanner to be aligned, and that the scanner's index mark aligns with the 0o mark (as shown in Figure 6-7): if necessary, loosen the wing nut and reposition the target, then tighten the wing nut.

36. Using the two fine-adjustment setscrews (Figure 6-10), make final adjustment to the vertical alignment of the scanner. If necessary, use the previous step as a reference to readjust the coarse adjustment of the scanner. 37. Repeat steps 28 through 36 for the other scanner. 38. When alignment is achieved, remove and store the alignment fixture and the mirror cap assembly. 39. Install the outer ring assembly. 40. Install the visor. 41. Grade the area around the scanner assembly. Note: Steps 42 through 54 are a continuation of step 27, and pertain using the direct-sighting method to align the scanner assembly.
42. Prepare a wood stake 1" x 6" x 30" (25 mm x 152 mm x 762 mm) for use as a sighting target (Figure 6-11). 43. On one side of the stake, draw a dark centerline down the entire length (Figure 6-11). 44. On the far side of the rail opposite the scanner to be aligned, excavate approximately 12" (305 mm) of ballast from the area near the center line of the wheel gate.
Figure 6-11, Preparing the Wood Stake Target 45. Position the stake vertically against the far side of the rail, such that the centerline of the stake is aligned with the wheel gate centerline mark on the rail, and is plumb; backfill to hold the stake in position (Figure 6-12).

Figure 6-12, Installing a Stake 46. On the stake, mark a horizontal line that is level with the head of the rail (Figure 6-13).
Figure 6-13, Marking the Target on the Stake 47. Measure 4.75" (121 mm) up from the line drawn in the previous step; draw a horizontal line (Figure 6-13). The point at which these two lines cross is the center of the target for aligning the scanner; mark a solid, 1/4" circle at this point to make it easier to see when aligning the scanner. 48. Obtain a length of tubing that is approximately 14" long and 1/4" in diameter (356 mm x 6.4 mm). Place the tubing across the "V" cuts in the tops of both ends of the housing assembly (Figure 6-14). 49. Simultaneously look through the tubing and adjust the position of the housing assembly; when the tubing is centered on the crossed lines of the target, tighten the vertical positioning coarse-adjustment screws. 50. Using the two fine-adjustment setscrews (Figure 6-10), make final adjustment to the vertical alignment of the scanner. If necessary, use the previous step as a reference to readjust the coarse adjustment of the scanner. 51. Install the outer ring assembly and the visor. 52. Repeat steps 44 through 50 for the other scanner. 53. Remove and store the stake. 54. Backfill the conduit trench; grade to surrounding level.

Loosen the two screws that secure the scanner cover (Figure 6-1) to the scanner base. Remove the cover; store it in a safe place. 15. Install the cable PVC conduits between the wayside equipment enclosure and the scanner location. 16. Locate the cable labeled 400082-97 inside the wayside equipment enclosure. 17. Locate the nine leads on cable 400082-97. Snake this end of the cable through the PVC to the steel foundation. 18. At the steel foundation, insert the end of cable 400082-97 between two of the foundation's legs and then up through the tubing assembly. Allow approximately 12 inches (305 mm) of cable to protrude out of the scanner base. 19. Stand the signal foundation in the excavated area (or on the footing, if one is installed). 20. At the rail on which the transducers are mounted, locate the magnetic center of transducer A; mark both rails. Repeat this step for transducer B. 21. At the rail on which the transducers are mounted, locate and mark the center between the two marks made in step 20; mark the other rail. Note: Dimensions in Figure 6-17 are: A = 52" (1321 mm); A' = 72" (1829 mm).
22. Using Figure 6-18 as a guide, determine the location for the scanner. The scanner and the tie must be located the same distance (+ 0.5" [12.5 mm]) from the respective rail.

Installation
Note:
Care must be exercised to ensure exact positioning of the scanner assembly throughout its installation. Progress Rail Services engineering recommends performing frequent verifications of the scanner's position, plumb, and distance from the rail during the installation procedure.
23. Using a carpenter's level, a tape measure, and the dimensions for A or A' derived from Figure 6-18, position the signal foundation such that three measurements are simultaneously achieved for each: the center of the tube assembly is the correct distance from the rail and is in the center of the gate, and the signal foundation is plumb.

24. While maintaining the position of the signal foundation, back-fill the excavation to half the height of the foundation (Figure 6-19); this will support the foundation during the installation of the scanner assembly. 25. Verify that the tie is vertical with a level and that the white face is facing the track. The top of the tie should be at least 6 inches above the top of the rail. The tie height must meet the railroads clearance requirements.

Note:
If necessary, remove excess slack in the cable at the tube housing assembly by carefully pulling the exposed portion of cable in the wayside equipment enclosure: exercise extreme care to avoid moving the signal foundation.
26. Using Figure 6-20 as a guide, connect the numbered leads to the terminal block; connect the large, numberless lead to the ground lug on the housing.

Note: Alignment of the scanner assembly can be accomplished via two methods: the mirror cap assembly and alignment fixture method, and the direct-sighting method.
28. Align the scanner assembly: the mirror cap assembly and alignment fixture method begins at step 29; the direct-sighting method begins at step 42. 29. Install the HWD Alignment Fixture (Figure 6-21) on the rail opposite the scanner to be aligned. Ensure that the fixture's index mark is directly over the centerline mark (on the rail) between the two transducers. Ensure that the alignment fixture is fully seated on the rail head. 30. Ensure that the target faces the scanner to be aligned, and that the scanner's index mark aligns with the 0o mark (as shown in Figure 6-21): if necessary, loosen the wing nut and reposition the target, then tighten the wing nut.

36. At the back of the target, look through the hole in the target toward the scanner: adjust the vertical and horizontal position of the scanner until the red dot on the mirror lens cap is in the center of the viewing hole on the target. Tighten the vertical positioning coarse-adjustment screws (Figure 6-23). Note: The base casting pivots about the spring pin that secures the base to the tube housing. To perform step 37 (fine-adjustment of the scanner), first back out one set and note how many turns, then turn in the opposite setscrew the same number of turns.
37. Using the two fine-adjustment setscrews (Figure 6-24), make final adjustment to the vertical alignment of the scanner. If necessary, use the previous step as a reference to readjust the coarse adjustment of the scanner. 38. When alignment is achieved, remove and store the alignment fixture and the mirror cap assembly. 39. Install the outer ring assembly. 40. Install the visor. 41. Grade the area around the scanner assembly. Note: Steps 42 through 53 are a continuation of step 28, and pertain using the direct-sighting method to align the scanner assembly.
42. Prepare a wood stake 1" x 6" x 30" (25 mm x 152 mm x 762 mm) for use as a sighting target (Figure 6-25). 43. On one side of the stake, draw a dark centerline down the entire length (Figure 6-25). 44. On the far side of the rail opposite the scanner to be aligned, excavate approximately 12" (305 mm) of ballast from the area near the center line of the wheel gate.
Figure 6-25, Preparing the Wood Stake Target 45. Position the stake vertically against the far side of the rail, such that the centerline of the stake is aligned with the wheel gate centerline mark on the rail, and is plumb; backfill to hold the stake in position (Figure 6-26).

Figure 6-27, Marking the Target on the Stake 47. Measure 4.75" (121 mm) up from the line drawn in the previous step; draw a horizontal line (Figure 6-27). The point at which these two lines cross is the center of the target for aligning the scanner; mark a solid, 1/4" circle at this point to make it easier to see when aligning the scanner. 48. Obtain a length of tubing that is approximately 14" long and 1/4" in diameter (356 mm x 6.4 mm). Place the tubing across the "V" cuts in the tops of both ends of the housing assembly (Figure 6-28). 49. Simultaneously look through the tubing and adjust the position of the housing assembly; when the tubing is centered on the crossed lines of the target, tighten the vertical positioning coarse-adjustment screws. 50. Using the two fine-adjustment setscrews (Figure 6-24), make final adjustment to the vertical alignment of the scanner. If necessary, use the previous step as a reference to readjust the coarse adjustment of the scanner. 51. Install the outer ring assembly and the visor. 52. Remove and store the stake. 53. Backfill the conduit trench; grade to surrounding level.

Section 7 Troubleshooting
Introduction
This section describes how to troubleshoot the components of a Pyro-HWD installed in a Micro HBD/HWD System. Included are diagrams that illustrate equipment interrelationships and connector pinouts, and tables that present information in a symptom/cause/action format. The tables define problems that can arise within the Pyro-HWD system as well as those that originate in the HBD system but manifest themselves as symptoms of an Pyro-HWD malfunction. Not all problems can be anticipated and/or documented, therefore only the most commonly occurring problems are included in the tables; as in any system, troubleshooting relies heavily on an individual's knowledge and understanding of how the system functions. It should be noted that the timely performance of the tasks in a comprehensive preventive maintenance program can prevent the occurrence of problems associated with equipment alignment, cleanliness, cabling and connections, and weather ingress.
Interrelationship Diagrams
The first step in troubleshooting is to remember the importance of the 'big picture', that is, the fact that the problem exists within a system of interconnected, interrelated equipment: it is even possible that site-related factors such as location, track orientation and electrification can be the cause of a problem. Focusing too quickly on a specific symptom or indication could result in overlooking the real cause of a problem: many problems exhibit more than one symptom. The purpose of an interrelationship diagram is to present that 'big picture' as a starting point. By relating the symptom(s) to the respective area(s) on the appropriate diagram, it is possible to identify a common-cause location before setting up any test equipment. Figure 7-1 is an example of the diagrams that pertain to troubleshooting a Pyro-HWD. It is intended to illustrate how a typical Pyro-HWD is interconnected in a Micro HBD/HWD system; it is not representative of a specific system, consequently the documentation that describes the Micro HBD site/system in which a problem exists must be available.
