- 250mA fuses must be inserted in each leg between the voltage being monitored and the transducer.

Note that: B50/B24 is usually full wave rectified unsmoothed, so the peak voltage is actually 50 x 1.41 = 70V, and 24 x 1.41 = 34V. |
Recommended transducers:
Measurement type | Transducer | Rating |
|---|---|---|
AC points motor voltage, BX110 | Omega DRA-ACT-2V-1 | 150Vac |
B50, B24 | Omega CCT-01-0/100V | 100Vdc |
DC points motor voltage | Omega CCT-01-0/650V | 650Vdc |

Special care must be taken when attaching sensors to rails, pointwork, point machines or anything electrically connected to them. |
Sensor requirements:
- Each sensor must have electrical isolation between the 4-20mA output and the trackwork to a minimum of 4M Ohms at 250V.
- 250mA fuses must be provided in each leg of the current loop.
- Only Network Rail approved points load pins may be used.
- When monitoring the pressure in clamp lock power packs, only pressure sensors approved by the manufacturer of the power pack must be used.
- Where sensors are attached to both rails, a risk assessment must be carried out to ensure that there is no risk of a track circuit being false fed
