scope:

This module of NR/L3/MTC/II0219 specifies the process for the calibration of Remote Condition Monitoring Systems as part of the overall Commissioning process.

It covers the required action and activity for the calibration of Intelligent Infrastructure Remote Condition Monitoring System in order to monitor faults or degradation in function of the assets upon which they are fitted.

It applies to all RCM installations except FTN/GSM-R systems that are managed by the Telecoms Engineering Centre (TEC) in Stoke.

Purpose

Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) systems are being implemented to provide information on the condition and potential faults on specified Assets on the Network Rail Infrastructure.

To ensure that the systems are used in a correct and consistent way, a suite of Standards has been produced to provide guidance and processes to be applied to the use and management of RCM systems.

This standard is one of the suite, which also includes standards for guidance on the Maintenance of Assets fitted with RCM, Installation of RCM equipment and Configuration and Calibration of the equipment. In places, specific reference and instruction is included to apply to the system and equipment fitted by the Intelligent Infrastructure RCM project.
