The instructions given in this section will assume that the installation is of the most common
type; a single AHB crossing with just one telephone either side of the line, and a single
PETS Signal Box Unit, manually controlled. It is assumed that the installation has been
surveyed by a competent and trained technician, and that the installer has been given any
additional or contrary instructions along with the equipment and this manual.
Before attending site produce the paper labels for insertion within the windows of the

5. Screwdrivers, flat blade various sizes.
6. Scissors (for labels)
7. Wire cutters

5.2 Unpacking the equipment
Check the external packing labels before proceeding to distinguish the Signal Box Unit from
the Level Crossing Unit. Use a small pen knife to open the carton sealing tape, do not cut
into the carton more than 5mm, to avoid damage to the equipment within. Remove the
contents.
The packing carton is made of cardboard and may be re-cycled.
5.3 Preparation
Decide where the unit is to be installed, normally this will be onto a wall. The Signal Box
Unit must be installed in a clean and dry location, away from windows that may be left open,
and away from sources of steam or condensation. From the Junction Box, 2 metre cables
with connectors at the ends are to be mated with the PETS unit, into the left hand side
connector plate. The cables are normally kept in place within trunking or by cable clips.
5.4 Wall fixing
It is necessary to disassemble the PETS 2 unit, the procedure is identical for Signal Box
and for the Level Crossing Units:
