IMU 100 Tester Operation
The Trainguard IMU 100 test device is used for evaluating the transmission of data telegrams at the interface (air gap) between the on-board equipment and the trackside equipment of the inductive transmission system. This test device is able to simulate both the on-board equipment and the trackside equipment (transmission and reception of telegrams) and to display the telegram contents.
Either mains-powered testing (24 V DC or 100 to 240 V AC) or mains-independent testing is possible. In the latter case, power is supplied by a built-in storage battery.

Installation of test set
Prior to commissioning, the regulations for the handling of electrical equipment must be ob- served.
Modes of operation
The IMU 100 test device has two possible modes of operation described below.
Test operation using test set power supply.
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Connect the test set to 110 V AC via the rear inlet connector using the power cable. |
| 2 | Switch on the power switch at the rear. |
| 3 | Switch on the test device using the on/off button at the front (power LED must illuminate). |

Test operation with battery power supply
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Switch on the test set using the on/off button at the front. |
Charging of batteries
The batteries are charged via the mains (even if the test set is in operation and powered via the mains). The charging time is approx. 12 hours.
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Connect the test set to 110 V AC via the rear inlet connector using the power cable. |
| 2 | Switch on the power switch at the rear |
Charging of battery charging condition
Depending on the firmware version used, the charging condition of the batteries can be read off in the main menu when the test set is on. A charge indication on the display indicates the charging condition of the batteries in 25% steps. The indication is in the top right-hand corner of the display (V ).
Figure 4: Example: main menu with charge indicatio
Overcharging of the batteries is prevented by the use of a charge monitoring board. A single warning bleep during mobile use indicates that the battery ca- pacity has fallen approx. 25% below the required level.
RF Exposure limit
The results of all measured configurations and locations yield a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from any system component in order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements when used as specified by the manufacturer, interfaced with Vehicle Coupling Coil.
