4 Device description
4.1 Operating principle
Operating principle of the LocControl100 radio remote control
4.2 Transmitter
Operatives can give instructions by means of the transmitter’s command controls.
The command controls are:
▪“Manual stop” palm button
▪Switches
▪Buttons
▪Combined switch-buttons
▪Traction/Brake switch (joystick), uniaxial or biaxial
These commands are converted into radio telegrams in the transmitter (control unit).
These radio telegrams are then sent via a secure, monitored and encrypted radio link to a unique radio remote control
receiver dedicated to the transmitter.
4.3 Receiver
The receiver, mounted on a locomotive (or similar vehicle), converts the radio signals received into commands, which it
passes on to the technical unit (locomotive computer) in the form of electrical signals.
With the LocControl100, it is also possible to send return messages from the technical unit via the receiver to the
transmitter. This is called bidirectional radio traffic.
4.4 Receiver →technical unit interface
The interface between the LocControl100 radio remote control and the technical unit is the output of the LocControl100
receiver.
Up to this interface, Schweizer Electronic assumes technical safety responsibility for the product.
The “technical radio part” of the LocControl100 radio control ends at this interface.

LocControl100 Page 11 of 28 General operating instructions
10.0296.6600.01 Version N
5 System security
The transmitter and receiver electronics each consist of a bi-processor system.
Monitoring electronics compares all telegrams received for their validity and only executes the commands received if
there is compliance (valent –antivalent) of both computers’ evaluation.
All the requirements of EN 50239, in particular safety-relevant functions, have been fulfilled for all safety-relevant order
issuance possibilities.
The LocControl100 is suitable for uses of software security performance level 3 (EN 50128) and SIL3 (EN 50129).
5.1 Addressing
Every installation is assigned a unique built-in address. This address is allocated by Schweizer
Electronic once worldwide.
The addressing is memorized in the receiver and inscribed on the receiver’s front panel.
A transmitter can be dedicated to a receiver (of a locomotive), by equipping the transmitter with a closed
RFID slot.
Execution with closed RFID slot

LocControl100 Page 12 of 28 General operating instructions
10.0296.6600.01 Version N
RFID key with engraved radio identification number (addressing)
A transmitter with an open RFID slot can be variably dedicated to a receiver (a locomotive) by plugging
the transmitter’s corresponding RFID key, which belongs to the receiver of the locomotive to be
controlled, into the RFID slot. This therefore ensures that a particular locomotive can be controlled with a
transmitter of the same project.
Execution with open RFID slot
Addressing ensures the unique assignment of transmitter remote controls to receiver remote controls
when operating several radio remote controls at the same frequency.

8 Safety information
8.1 General safety information
LocControl100 is a technically sophisticated product. Nevertheless, danger can arise from the product if
it is operated or repaired by insufficiently trained persons, or if it is not used as intended. Schweizer
Electronic therefore strongly urges you to familiarize yourself with the operating manual as well as the
instructions provided with the product, and to adhere strictly with the provisions provided therein.
Before delivery, the radio control was tested on the test bench and packed in perfect condition. The test
data is preserved by Schweizer Electronic and Schweizer Electronic’s authorized service stations
throughout the whole of the device’s lifespan.
All the specified measures and indications relating to operating safety, points of general safety and
accident prevention which were implemented or observed before, during or after a start-up, must be
strictly complied with by the operator and his employees.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the safety, reliability or performance of the
radio remote control if repairs or other interventions to the radio remote control have been carried out by
non-authorized persons.
Within his organization, the operator must ensure that the equipment is safeguarded against
unauthorized handling or manipulation.
8.2 General operating safety guidelines
All legal and operating regulations must be observed before every start-up of the radio remote control.
Operatives must make sure of the proper and safe operating condition of LocControl100 before every
start-up. Before starting work or at the change of a shift, it is imperative to
- check the transmitter for any external damage
- check the battery/ies for any external damage
- check the condition of the carrying harness
Before starting work or at the change of a shift, it is imperative to carry out the prescribed safety test, in
particular to check the brake and emergency stop functions.
The operative must ensure that the RFID key in the transmitter belongs to the receiver of the locomotive
he intends to control.
The receiver identification number of the locomotive to be controlled must be the same as the number
engraved on the RFID key.
If this is not the case, or if there is the possibility of a mix-up, the operative must not activate the radio
remote control.
If any damage is observed, the transmitter should not be employed.
Before starting work or at the change of a shift, it is imperative to carry out the prescribed safety test, in
particular to check the brake and emergency stop functions.

LocControl100 Page 16 of 28 General operating instructions
10.0296.6600.01 Version N
The LocControl100 must be taken out of service immediately if any functional failings or irregularities are
observed.
It is imperative that irregularities are reported to the designated operational office immediately.
8.3 Safety information for operation
The safety information for operating is given in the “LocControl100 customer-specific operating
instructions”, since this can vary according to the system execution.
8.4 Comportment in emergency situations
In case of any malfunction during the course of operation or in all cases where movement of the
locomotive or vehicle results in a dangerous situation, the transmitter must be set to safe mode by
activating the “Manual stop” switch.
In addition, if the locomotive is at standstill after a manual stop, the transmitter must be switched off by
means of the key switch (if available) or by removing the battery.
The operator together with his operating personnel must thoroughly exercise reaction behaviour in
emergency situations.
Due to special local conditions or particular applications, situations may arise that were unknown at the
time of writing this operating manual. In such cases, special measures relating to safety may be
introduced by the operator.
9 Comportment in case of thunderstorms
The usual safety precautions with respect to comportment during thunderstorms must be respected
when such storms are approaching. The closeness of the storm should be estimated.
→ Do not stand out in the open
→ Do not stand under high masts or trees
→ Do not stand close to open water
No work should be carried out using the LocControl100 in the centre of storms where there is severe
danger of lightning.
This means
→ vehicle operation using the radio remote control should be discontinued
→ no mounting or repair work should be carried out on vehicles standing in the open.

LocControl100 Page 18 of 28 General operating instructions
10.0296.6600.01 Version N
10.3 Use of operator’s own carrying harness
The use of an operator’s own carrying harness can be dangerous.
If an unsuitable carrying harness is used, the tilt monitoring function could possibly be impaired or even
no longer function at all.
If either the LocControl100 purchaser or operator intends to use a different carrying harness to the
standard one delivered by the Schweizer Electronic Group, the purchaser and/or operator is obliged,
without being asked, to have written approval for the carrying harness from the Schweizer Electronic
Group.
Schweizer Electronic will give approval for the proposed carrying harness in writing. Verbal approval will
not be valid.
If, according to the assessment of Schweizer Electronic, the carrying harness is not perfectly safe
technically or not fit for purpose, Schweizer Electronic cannot give its approval.
If the purchaser or the operator uses a carrying harness that has not been approved by the Schweizer
Electronic Group in writing, then all claims under the guarantee as well as claims for compensation
against the Schweizer Electronic Group lapse.
10.4 Transmitter operation with transmitter holder
If the transmitter should be operated with a transmitter holder, operation is described in the relevant
customer-specific operating manual.
