HUBBELL
Hubbell 72 & 450 MHz Remote Control System for Locomotive Applications
The Hubbell Intelligent Radio Loco-
motive Systems features a micro-
computer with status
display and built-in di-
agnostics along with
our high speed, digi-
tal, biphase modula-
tion to provide reli-
able, efficient and
economical operation
of diesel-electric loco-
motives from a por-
table transmitter.
By operating the
transmitter switches, a radio mes-
sage is sent to the locomotive
mounted receiver to control the di-
rection and speed of the locomo-
tive. Additional data bits are avail-
able to perform special auxiliary
functions such as sounding of horn,
application of brakes or control of
couplers.
Each radio control system operates
on a licensed frequency in the 72–
76 MHz or the 450–470 MHz
bands. The receiver is crystal con-
trolled. A synthesized 72–76 MHz
receiver is also available.
Benefits
•
Easy to Maintain

tics identify problem areas via the
status display.
•
Fast Response

rate offers fast, responsive operation.
•
Frequency Conservation

•
Better Visibility
— Remote control
