2.2 Preparations
The measuring devices of the R-series are state-of-the-art units, guaranteeing a high degree of
reliability. However, that reliability can only be attained in practice if all the necessary measures are
taken. It falls within the duty of care of the company operating the measuring device to ensure that
those measures are taken, and to monitor their implementation.
The measuring devices may only be operated by personnel who are trained, instructed and authorised
to do so. The operating personnel must be familiar with the Operation Manual and must comply with
the instructions contained in it.
The following points must be observed before using the measuring device:
(1) Depending on the applicable (national) standards and regulations, it must be ensured where
appropriate that the scheduled date for calibration of the measuring device has not yet
passed (→ Check inspection sticker on device).
(2) Check the measuring device for any damage or defects. Remove any foreign bodies from the
measuring bolts and contact surfaces.
(3) Check the correct functioning and accuracy of the track gauge measurement, and where
appropriate the flangeway clearance measurement, using a suitable instrument, such as a
type RV-21 test gauge.
(4) Check the correct functioning and settings of the spirit level (for details and procedure see
→ Section 2.3).
