15.3 Connection to a dead strip
The dead strip is a small piece of metal strip of the lane which has been electrically disconnected
from the rest. (See the following picture).
In order to pick up the signal from these strips, you only have to weld the end of an electric cable
into the part underlying the strip itself, whereas the opposite end must be inserted into the
Dead
Strips
clamps (9). This operation must be carried out for each dead strip. In order to obtain
consistency between the times recorded by the DS bridge and by the dead strips, the cables coming
from the dead strip of lane 1 are to be inserted into the clamps marked by number 1 in the
Dead
Strip
terminal block, those of lane 2 into the clamps marked with number 2. As to the polarity of
the signals, the cables can be reversed trouble-free.
