General

This Handbook gives information needed to maintain signalling equipment to the necessary standard.

The manual is divided into separate parts as follows:

Part A: Describes the general responsibilities and conditions for maintaining equipment.

Part B: Contains the specified tests that are referred to in the signalling maintenance specifications. These are identified in sections A, C, E, & T of this document by means of a hyperlink.

For Example: FPL TEST (MACHINE) (001)

Specified tests on assets not owned by signalling are in the appropriate sections along with the maintenance specification.

Part C: Contains the approved maintenance specifications for signalling assets.  These are packaged as units of work, each unit being designed around a physical asset.  If a part or all of that asset is owned by different function (e.g. SPTs on signals) the maintenance specification for that asset is in the relevant section.

Part D: Contains the indexes and references to the level crossing annual tests (details of how the obtain the annual test documents are detailed here).

Part E: Contains the approved maintenance specifications and specified tests for assets owned by functions other than Signalling or Telecoms that are maintained by signalling.  (e.g. HABD systems).

Part R: Contains the standard NR/SMS record cards associated with the tests and tasks in part B & C (the App version contains the index only; Printable versions are available on Connect).

Part T: Contains the approved maintenance specifications and specified tests for Telecom assets that are maintained by Signalling.

Part Z: Contains listings of commonly used voltages and measurements on all assets as a ready reference guide.
