The EF6 can also be applied in high
voltage areas. In several types of locomotives, the EF6 controls the
pressure of the pantograph (a device that collects electric current
with up to 2.500 Ampere from overhead lines) on the power supply line.
The output signal is transmitted to a microcontroller for the pressure
regulation. Furthermore, the pressure control in the locomotives'
pneumatic brake system can be carried out by the EF6.
The EF6, protected by a stainless
steel case, is available with a piezoresisitive or a capacitive ceramic
sensor. The measuring range can be chosen individually according to
customer needs between -1…100 mbar and 0…200 bar. The global
accuracy for operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C
is 0.5% of F.S. including linearity error, hysteresis or zero drift.
The response time is less than 15 ms.
With a MTTF (mean time to failures)
of 10 millions hours, the EF6 has en excellent long-term stability.
Due to its high reliability, the EF6 can be used also in harsh transportation
applications like tank and fire trucks or public works machines.
The device is conform to all important
standards for railway applications like EN50155 (Electronic Equipment
Used On Rolling Stock), CEI IEC 61373 (shocks and vibrations), NF
EN 50121-3-2 (electromagnetic compatibility) as well as the fire and
smoke standards NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102.
