MPRX Upgrade
Summary
The AI1200 and AR2200 combination RFID package from Transcore has been obsoleted. The MPRX is the replacement RFID radio for Railroad AEI. The MPASS card is the RailNET controller adapter sitting in the same place as the AI1200 reader card. Software for the MPRX conversion requires a LX-800 Minimum. Total hardware package guidance below.

Frauscher Upgrade
Summary
The Frauscher wheel detector has been preferred by some wayside electronics departments and is suggested by Comet for its durability, and ability to be remote nulled and calibrated. Frauscher has offered an excellent mounting clamp that is helpful for maintenance crews to successfully remove and replace the sensor during track maintenance. Comet offers several kits to help make changing from a Tiefenbach wheel sensor to the Frauscher easy and straight forward. The operational requirement is a TDA-204 for direct connection of the sensor to the APU, or TDA-205 for external connection.
Frauscher Parts
400220 Dual Element Sensor
400221 Rail Claw Mount
400222 Cable 10m with Protection tube
400223 Bolt Kit BBK17.5
400224 Bolt Kit BBK11
Frauscher Kits
400225 Frauscher Sensor, Claw Mount, 10m Cable
400230 Frauscher Sensor, Claw Mount, 10m Cable, TDA-204
401222 Claw Mount
401223 Frauscher Sensor, Bolt Mount
401224 Frauscher Sensor, 10m Cable, Bolt Mount
402286 Frausher Sensor, Claw Mount, 25m Cable
Considerations when Upgrading
If the site is direct connected, a TDA-204 is required. If the site is externally connected a TDA-205 is required.
If a Frauscher is externally connected the sensor is not capable of being remote Calibrated and Nulled.
