Railway, Passenger Access (00303)

EAO door openers are established worldwide, with millions in use including in extreme climatic conditions. When developing them we consider human factors, intuitive symbols, tactile, and acoustic and optical feedback – and of course optimum function.

We maintain close relationships and a lively exchange of ideas with associations for people with disabilities in order to meet their needs. We wish to help all people enjoy a safe and comfortable journey, from the time they get on to the time they get off.

Multi-tone warning indicator.

Compact, intuitive and safe.

  • Series 57 Multi-tone warning indicator (BR57_KS_01_00130)

Acoustic warning and LED status display combined in one compact device: EAO offers another innovative product with the new Series 57 Multi-Tone Warning Indicator (MTWI).

When opening and closing doors in public transport, safety comes first. This also includes accessible applications, whether for passenger access on trains, trams, bus or public emergency call and help points (call for aid). Users can rely on Series 57 acoustic and visual warning at all times and wherever they are.

Typical applications

  • Passenger access to trains, trams and buses
  • Emergency call and help points (call for aid)
  • Access control systems

The MTWI brings together in one device two HMI Functions already well-established in the rail industry: the Series 56 multi-tone sound module and Series 57 visual warning indicators. The result offers increased safety on public transport, particularly for people with impaired vision.

Advantages

  • Audible and visual warning in a single device
  • A single cable for space and cost savings in mounting
  • Modern, timeless design of Series 57
  • Long service life and attractive total cost of ownership
  • Intense 180° illumination

When opening the train door, (externally triggered) green LEDs light up or flash. At the same time the door opening signal sounds to provide acoustic signalisation. As soon as the door closes, the red LEDs light up (or flash) and the door closer signals can be clearly heard. Various LED colours and combinations are available in this regard. For emergency-call voice announcements, there is a version with a passive speaker module that you can connect to an external signal source with an amplifier.

The wide range of technical and economic advantages makes the MTWI the optimum device for users, systems providers for train doors, and operators in public transport.
