1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the process of remotely operating the ZKL 3000 Remote Control (RC)
Line Blockage System via the Remote Switch (RS) 3000 handheld device or the Dual Inventive
Smartphone App.
The RS 3000 handheld device, and the Dual Inventive App both provide remote access to the ZKL 3000
RC system, which safeguards a section of track by producing and monitoring a short circuit which
in turn, simulates a train in the track section. This causes the track circuit to be ‘OCCUPIED’ placing
the protecting signals at danger. The section will be immediately closed for rail traffic, enabling rail
workers to perform work on the track both safely and efficiently.
This manual is part of a set that details the entire ZKL 3000 RC system: The web interface (MTinfo
3000), the Line Blockage System (ZKL 3000 RC, and the hand held Remote Switch (RS 3000) and the
Dual Inventive App.
2. APPLICATION
The RS 3000 hand held device and the Dual Inventive Smartphone App allow the user to remotely
operate one, or a group of, ZKL 3000 RC’s in a safe, effective, and efficient manner. These both use
Dual Inventive’s secured network to connect to the ZKL 3000 RC. You can remotely switch one or a
group ZKL 3000 RC’s in a period.
3. CONDITIONS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Please read all safety instructions carefully before using the ZKL 3000 RC. Please ensure you
fully understand the system and its functions. When the correct safety measures are not
followed, there is a risk of electric shock, fire or even death
a. Conditions for use
Users must only use the RS 3000 when the following criteria are satisfied:
• The user holds an in date ZKL 3000 RC competency
• The user has been assigned the appropriate user rights in MTinfo 3000
• The user has been authorised to use the RS 3000
As a competent user you are responsible for:
• The RS 3000 during use (including installation phase)
• Any relevant paperwork, user names and passwords (and any authorisation codes via text
message or PIN that you have been assigned)

5. CHARGING THE RS 3000
a. Before starting
• The chargers have a protection level of IP20. Always charge the batteries indoors and in a
dry environment
• Always check the charger for visible damage before use. Do NOT use the charger if damage
is detected
• Always store and transport the chargers in a dry environment
Please note: The chargers of both the backup battery and the external battery may only be repaired
and maintained by Dual Inventive
b. Charging the battery
• Please insert the battery in the RS 3000 before connecting the charger. This is done by turning
the clip on the back of the RS 3000 anticlockwise and then removing the cover. The battery can
then be placed into the slot (it will only fit in one way), the cover replaced and then locked back
into position by turning the clip clockwise

7. OPERATING THE RS 3000 CONTINUED
e. Switching using the Dual Inventive APP
You can switch ZKL 3000 RCs via the RS 3000 module within the
Dual Inventive smartphone App, providing that the project has been
released and the user is assigned to the project.
Attention: you must have a PIN setup for this in MTinfo 3000, as it is not
possible to use SMS verification for this action. The project lead / internal
contact person can set this up via MTinfo 3000 during user maintenance.
Switching ZKL 3000 RCs on a project:
• Go to the RS3000 function on the RS3000 hand held device or
within the Dual Inventive app
• Select the project to be switched
• Select the period
• Go to the tab “Switch”
• Switch the relevant ZKL 3000 RCs on the period by
selecting “On” or “Off”
• Now enter the correct letters (ON or OFF) to switch the device
(ATTENTION! the letters are not always in the same place)
• Confirm your switching action with your PIN code
After sending the switch command, the screen will refresh to display the
updated status of the ZKL 3000 RC(s), indicating whether they have been
successfully switched or not. Any errors will be shown on this screen with
a red cross symbol or orange triangle symbol. Clicking on this will reveal
further information about the problems. In the event that the switching
action was not successful, repeating the command again is recommended.
Next to the switching action, you can also view the real-time status of the
ZKL 3000 RC(s) via the “Real time” tab. It is also possible to see the location
of the ZKL 3000 RC(s) via the “Map” tab.
You may encounter situations that prevent you from switching the
ZKL 3000 system. For more information about these notifications,
please seethe ZKL 3000 RC Installation manual, chapter 8 “Troubleshooting”.
