the measurement and indicator “Start” for the termination. After reaching indicator
“Start” the engine is decelerated and stopped and the measurement is repeated for the
next speed step in both directions.
The whole procedure is repeated until the speed step that corresponds to the specified
maximum speed has been measured.
Please ensure, that both indicators are turned off whenever the engine reverses the
direction between two runs of the procedure. There are additional options, with
which the run-out and the pause between two passes of the measurement can be
adjusted. If an indicator is not turned off when the engine reverses direction then
increase the run-out or the pause, respectively.

Measuring with Occupancy Sensors
Diagram 77: Measurement with Occupancy Sensors
For the measurement with occupancy sensors three occupancy sensors are needed.
These sensors are associated with three contact indicators, called “Start”, “Centre” and
“End”. The length of the track section used for the measurement is determined by the
length of the occupancy section associated with “Centre”. The length of the other occupancy
sections does not matter.
To start the measurement put the engine on the track a certain distance left of section
“Centre” heading to section “Centre”. The engine will be started in the forward direction.
When it reaches the section “Centre” the measurement of the current speed step
begins. When the engine reaches the section “End”, then the engine is decelerated and
stopped. Now the engine reverses direction and the measurement of the same speed step
in the backward direction is performed, now using indicator “Centre” for the beginning
of the measurement and indicator “Start” for the termination. After reaching indicator
“Start” the engine is decelerated and stopped and the measurement is repeated for the
next speed step in both directions.
