Railway applications - Braking - Empty-loaded changeover devices

This European Standard is applicable to empty-loaded changeover devices designed to automatically sense when the load of a railway vehicle reaches a defined value (changeover mass), which represents the point at which the vehicle is classed as “loaded” and thereby requires the brake force to be adjusted accordingly to achieve the required brake performance. This European Standard also covers manually operated empty-loaded changeover devices and the associated changeover plates.
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, dimensions, manufacture and testing of empty-loaded changeover devices.

Bahnanwendungen - Bremse - Leer-beladen-Umstellvorrichtungen

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Leer-Beladen-Umstelleinrichtungen, die so beschaffen sind, dass sie automatisch
den Beladungszustand abtasten. Wenn die Last eines Eisenbahnfahrzeuges einen bestimmten Wert
(Umstellmasse oder auch „Umstellgewicht“ genannt), erreicht. Wird das Fahrzeug als Beladen eingestuft, wird
die Bremskraft entsprechend angepasst, um die geforderte Bremswirkung zu erzielen. Diese Europäische
Norm gilt ebenfalls für handbetätigte Umstelleinrichtungen und die zugehörigen Schildlager.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, die Abmessungen, die Herstellung und
Prüfung von Leer-Beladen-Umstelleinrichtungen fest.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Dispositifs de changement de régime Vide-Chargé

La présente Norme européenne est applicable aux dispositifs de changement de régime Vide-Chargé destinés à détecter automatiquement le moment où la charge d’un véhicule ferroviaire atteint une valeur définie (masse de changement de régime) ; cette valeur représente le moment où le véhicule est classé comme «chargé» et de ce fait nécessite un ajustement de la force de freinage pour obtenir les performances requises de freinage. La présente Norme européenne couvre également les dispositifs de changement de régime Vide-Chargé à commande manuelle et les plaques de commutation associées.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, aux dimensions, à la fabrication et aux essais des dispositifs changement de régime Vide-Chargé.

70 °C without any deviation from the technical requirements specified in this European Standard;  at – 40 °C ≤ environmental temperature < – 25 °C without deviation from the main technical requirements specified in this European Standard but without affecting the function of the empty-loaded changeover device. Deviations from the technical requirement when testing at extremes are defined in 6.2.11. SIST EN 15624:2009

4.5 Compressed air quality It shall be possible to operate the empty-loaded changeover device without restrictions with at least the compressed air quality according to the following classes defined by ISO 8573-1:2001:  class 4 – for the maximum particle size and the maximum concentration of solid contaminants;  class 4 – for the water dew point;  class 4 – for the maximum total (droplets, aerosols and vapours) oil concentration. The empty-loaded changeover device shall be capable of operating in an air supply system that is not fitted with an air dryer, or when the air dryer is out of order. The air system should therefore include some means of preventing water collecting within the empty-loaded changeover device and hence freezing of the water in conditions below 0 °C. 4.6 Service life No specific requirements for the empty-loaded changeover device to attain a particular service life are contained in this European Standard.
