Current Regulator Calling On, ‘A’ Marker, ‘AG’ Marker
RDSO / Spec No.
RDSO/SPN/153/2011
Application
Indian Railways (S&T Sector) - Auxiliary & Subsidiary Railway Signalling Aspects
Product Specifications & Details
The Current Regulator Calling On, ‘A’ Marker, and ‘AG’ Marker LED Signal Units manufactured by General Auto Electric Corporation (GAEC) provide essential subsidiary and marker signaling across Indian Railways. Compliant with RDSO Specification No. RDSO/SPN/153/2011, these 110V AC units feature an integrated current regulator, phantom-free design, and high-durability UV-stabilized lenses. Engineered for RE and NON-RE installations, they integrate seamlessly with SSI, Relay Interlocking, and Electronic Interlocking (EI) platforms while maintaining fail-safe performance.
Key System Features
- Integrated Current Regulator: Built-in regulation ensures steady illumination across voltage fluctuations.
- Visibility Range: Minimum visibility distance of 200 meters in clear daylight; visible at the foot of the signal.
- Fail-Safe Architecture: Phantom-free layout with multi-array LED design for high operational safety.
- Lamp Proving Compatibility: Works with Signal Exchange Relays (ECR) and Electronic Interlocking (EI).
- Signal Variations: Available in YELLOW (Calling ON) and WHITE (‘A’ Marker and ‘AG’ Marker).
- RDSO Approved: Fully certified under RDSO Lucknow for RE and NON-RE railway tracks.
