ANNEX-A
Guidelines on Banning of Business Dealings
1.
Introduction
1.1
RITES, being a Public Sector Enterprise and State, within the meaning of Article 12 of
Constitution of India, has to ensure preservation of rights enshrined in Chapter III of the
Constitution. RITES has also to safeguard its commercial interests. It is not in the interest
of RITES to deal with Agencies who commit deception, fraud or other misconduct in the
execution of contracts awarded / orders issued to them. In order to ensure compliance with
the constitutional mandate, it is incumbent on RITES to observe principles of natural
justice before banning the business dealings with any Agency.

it is incumbent that adequate opportunity of hearing is provided and the explanation, if
tendered, is considered before passing any order in this regard keeping in view the facts and
circumstances of the case.
2.
Scope
2.1
The procedure of (i) Suspension and (ii) Banning of Business Dealing with Agencies, has
been laid down in these guidelines.
2.2
It is clarified that these guidelines do not deal with the decision of the Management not to

Suspension of Business Dealings
5.1
If the conduct of any Agency dealing with RITES is under investigation by any
department, the Competent Authority may consider whether the allegations under
investigation are of a serious nature and whether pending investigation, it would be
advisable to continue business dealing with the Agency. If the Competent Authority, after
consideration of the matter including the recommendation of the Investigating
Department/Unit, if any, decides that it would not be in the interest to continue business
dealings pending investigation, it may suspend business dealings with the Agency. The
order to this effect may indicate a brief of the charges under investigation. The order of
such suspension would operate for a period not more than six months and may be
communicated to the Agency as also to the Investigating Department.
The Investigating Department/Unit may ensure that their investigation is completed and
whole process of final order is over within such period.
5.2
As far as possible, the existing contract(s) with the Agency may be continued unless the
Competent Authority, having regard to the circumstances of the case, decides otherwise.
5.3
If the Agency concerned asks for detailed reasons of suspension, the Agency may be
informed that its conduct is under investigation. It is not necessary to enter into
correspondence or argument with the Agency at this stage.
5.4
It is not necessary to give any show-cause notice or personal hearing to the Agency before
issuing the order of suspension. However, if investigations are not complete in six months
time, the Competent Authority may extend the period of suspension by another three
months, during which period the investigations must be completed.

TESTING OF RELAY INTERLOCKING ENERGISATION OF RELAYS BY CONNECTING

SIMULATION PANEL:
12.5
For major yards, it is preferable to energise relays, circuitwise and sheetwise, since it
involves number of routes and parallel movements. For way station, it is preferable to
energise the circuit, route wise. Before taking up the above energisation, the following work
should be completed.
a)
b)
c)
d)
12.6
Wire to wire bell-test of all sheets before soldering and after soldering.
Plugging of all relays as per contact configuration. Before plugging of relays, all fingers
are to be checked. Any finger found loose or not properly hooked is to be set right.
Power supply arrangement with batteries.
Connecting the simulation panel.
i) It should be possible to control all TPRs, NWKRs/RWKRs, CHLRs, KLCRs, LXCPRs
etc., from the simulation panel by energising all the relays.
ii) It is desirable to have the simulation panel adjacent to control panel so that the panel
indication can be observed simultaneously while testing.
SIMULATION PANEL
Simulation panel consists of two Boards:A.) BOARD NO. 1:It depicts the yard (painted) with points, track circuits, LC gates and slots. Switches are fixed
on the boards to simulate the conditions of the points, track circuits, interlocked LC gates,
slots etc.
Track circuit switches are fixed on the track. Point control switches are fixed nearer to the
points, for small yards. For major yards the switches are grouped as point switches and track
circuit switches.
Functions requiring ON and OFF switch (with make and break facility i.e. two wires only) with
facility to pick up a relay in one position and drop the same in other position. Example: Switch
Page 99 of 156
OFF - Track Down - TPR dropped. Switch ON - Track pick up - TPR picked up. For
controlling the following function the above type switches should be used: i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
Track circuits
Siding point
Crank handle
Slot
LC gate
Points require ON and OFF switches with facility to pick up conflicting relays (i.e. NWKR and
RWKR) in two positions. (These switches require three wires).
B.)
BOARD NO. 2:-
To simulate the signals the following bulbs are used as dummy loads for the ECRs to pick up
and also to observe the aspect of the signals during testing.
ON aspect
OFF aspect
Route aspect
C.)
110 V 40 W
110 V 25 W
110 V 75 W
Wiring simulation panel to the relay room side wiring at MDF.
Disconnect all the links on cable termination rack. Wires from the switches are connected to
the relay room side termination. Similarly the wires from simulation panel board No.2
consisting of lamps are connected to the relay room sides termination.
Multi core 0.6mm dia. cable is used for wiring the simulation boards. To reduce the voltage
drop, more conductors are used for supply taken to the test panel and also to the negative
since common return is used.
12.7
TESTING OF SIGNALS
i)
Signals should be initially tested from the LOC box to attend to minor troubles of bulb
holders, wiring etc.,
ii)
All the aspects should be checked by giving 110 V AC feed from Loc. Box and then the
test should be repeated by giving feed from Relay room CT rack. This test should be
done for each aspect, route and pilot lamp of shunt signals.
iii)
Care should be taken to ensure that no train is approaching during this test to avoid
misleading information to drivers.
Page 100 of 156
12.8
iv)
Ensure that signal number plate is provided and unit back door is fastened and locked
properly. Door locking is very important to prevent sun rays falling on to lenses to give
phantom indications.
v)
Focus the signal aspects, record the aspect voltages and ensure that it is within the
permissible limit (90% of rated voltage of the bulb).

COMMISSIONING OF PANEL
Check up all signal aspects by directly feeding from cable termination rack (110 V AC).
Check up operation of points from C.T. rack and check whether NWKR/RWKR incoming
feed is available (by connecting 24V DC to W1, W2, W3 & W4 as explained earlier).
Check up the incoming feed of TPRs in the C.T. rack. The above checking will confirm the
pairing of cable conductors. Remove the wiring connection of simulation board on cable
termination rack and make through the links of all TPRs, WKRs and signal circuits.
First test the points from panel individually and conduct all tests discussed earlier including
track locking test, correspondence between point position and NWKR/RWKR in relay
room.
Check whether all TPRs have picked up and check up the panel indication by individually
by dropping each track circuit correspond correctly.
Check whether all other required relays viz., CHLR, LXPR, KLCR have picked up.
Test all the signals from panel.
Check the correspondence between relay from and signal aspects, which is most
important. For checking the aspects of home signals, distant signals, staff (not below the
rank of Site Engineer) should be deputed to site with walkie-talkie or Magneto telephone
and check the correspondence.
Remove the signal lamp at site of every aspect and check whether indication disappears
on the panel and ECR drops in the relay room.
Open all the registers and make entries of counter numbers before handing over to
operating staff.
THE FOLLOWING REGISTERS SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO OPERATING STAFF.

a)
Relay room key register,

CABLE LAYLING
17.1
CABLE PLAN:
Cable plan with distribution chart for each cable should be prepared for each station by the
contractor leaving adequate spare conductors in each cable as laid down in para 15.3.2 of
chapter XV of Part-II SEM i.e. 20% of working conductors on each cable should be left spare
upto outer most points and 10% beyond outer most points. Provision should also be made for
additional cable conductors required for repeater relays as per 25KV AC electrified section
The similar cable layout plans should be prepared for telecommunication cables. The
necessary approval of layout plan and cable core distribution chart etc., should be obtained
from the site engineer and RITES before start of cable laying work. Copy of this plan should
also be sent to client. A distance of approximately 10 cm. must be maintained between
Telecommunication cable and Signalling cables. The Signalling cables must be separated
from power cables by a row of bricks between them.
17.2
CABLE TRENCH:
Excavation of cable trench should be made in all kinds of soils including clearing roots of
trees, rocks etc., to a depth of 1.0 m and to a width of not less than 0.30 m, proper protection
as required by Site Engineer should be provided while crossing power cables, pipe lines, gas
lines etc. The bottom of the trench should be leveled and got rid of any sharp materials.
Trenches should be straight as far as possible and steep angles should be avoided. Alignment
of the main cable route as well as track/road crossings will be indicated in the cable layout
plan.
(a)
Signalling/Power cables should be laid as close to the track as possible in the station limit but
not less than 3 m from the nearest track centre. The cable track separation distance both
within station limits and in the block section generally not to exceed 6 metres. However
outside the station limits, the cables should generally be laid at not less than 5.5 metres from
the centre or the nearest track.
(b)
deleted
(c)
It is desirable that the excavation of trenches is not done in long lengths and does not remain
uncovered overnight. It is preferable that trenches are dug, cable laid and refilling done on the
same day.
(d)
Wherever rock formation is encountered and trenching cannot be done to a depth of one
metre, the trench should be dug as far as possible and protective measures taken to avoid
damages of cable as decided by site engineer. The drawing in this regard shall be given by
EMPLOYER/CONSULTANT. Payment of trenching should be made proportionate to the depth
of trench and no payment should be made for any extra excavation carried out in the slope
and width of the trench. The contractor, who supervises the excavation, should take the
shoaring materials ready on hand, so that on banks where ashes or loose materials are
encountered, shoaring can be adopted. However, the minimum depth should not be less than
300 mm for laying DWC pipes in hard morrum. Whenever rocky soil is experienced,
concreting has to be done for a depth of 150 mm after laying the cables to protect them.
Page 108 of 156
(e)
During excavation of the trenches, the earth should not be thrown on the ballast. The earth
should be thrown by the side of the trenches, away form the track. Complete excavated earth
should be back filled in the trench after laying the cable and well rammed.
(f)
Wherever Power Cables are to be laid alongwith other cables bricks are to be laid lengthwise
approximately, five bricks per metre for separating Power Cables from other Signalling
Cables.
17.3
Before the cables are laid, a visual inspection of cable should be made and it should be tested
for insulation and continuity of cores. The insulation resistance of new cable
should not
be below 500M.Ohms per KM at 20 degrees centigrade. The cable
meggering record
should be maintained in a register and should be signed by contractors representative &
Employers representative.
If there is wide disparity between insulation of different conductors, the conditions of the cable
should be thoroughly checked before permitting its use. Bedding and armoring should be
inspected to see that there has been no damage during transit or in storage. In case where
the wheels are not available or the area is not convenient for rolling the wheels along with
route, the drum should be mounted on the axle at one end of trench and cable paved out. It
should be carried out by adequate number of men ensuring that the insulation of the cable is
not damaged and no kink/twist is formed. In no case should the drum be rolled on the road for
laying of cables and the cable dragged on the ground for laying purposes. The cables should
be laid gently into the trench and not thrown out under any circumstances. Before laying of
cable in the trench, a visual inspection should be adequate for any damage or defect through
out its length.
Normally, cable laying should be commenced only after the relay room and cable termination
box on the route at the respective stations are ready, and the cable should be duly terminated
at the relay room/Location Boxes, immediately after the cables are laid. However, if for any
reasons the cables are to be laid in advance, special care should be taken to ensure that the
coiled cable near the relay room/Location Box is fully protected before and during final
termination. The coiled cable should be fully covered with a layer of bricks in its entire length
and provided with adequate number of cable markers. On no occasion the ends of the cable
should be left unprotected. The cable ends should be sealed with cable compound. All the
cable terminals should be sign written with point describing the function.
17.4
Cable laying should commence only after the depth and width of trench, quality of bricks and
sand are jointly inspected by the Site Engineer and Contractors representative and approved.
The necessary record of such approvals should be maintained in a register.
17.5
Cable should not be normally taken over the running tracks at the time of cable laying by the
contractor as this is likely to cause accident to trains and damage to cable. If at any time the
cable has to be taken across the track either in full drums or in spread out conditions, it should
be done only in the presence of site engineer and also after safety precautions have been
taken to post flagmen on all the sides as may be required to stop any train approaching the site
of the fouled line. The stationmaster should be informed in writing and a acknowledgement
obtained for this work.
17.6
At each end of the main cable/tail cable/power cables an extra coil length of 6 to 8 metres
should be kept.
Page 109 of 156
17.7
At the time of commissioning of cables, the insulation values of the cable should again be
checked and the value obtained should not be below 500 M.Ohms per KM at 20degree C. If
there is wide disparity between insulation of different conductors, the conditions of the cable
should be thoroughly checked before permitting its use. The readings should be recorded in a
register called Cable Insulation Record Register. This should be recorded for all cables.
17.8
The Contractor thereafter should supply the completion cable layout/termination plan and cable
route plan showing the distance of cables from the nearest track centre at every 30 M interval
and location of location boxes. The distance of location box from nearest track centre should
be indicated.
17.9
After the signaling cable/power cables are laid, one layer of country bricks of size 225mm
x112mm x 75mm (9 bricks per Mtr.) approximately, should be placed closely in breadth wise.
17.10 Refilling of the cable trenches with the earth and placing and concreting of cable markers at an
interval of 30 M throughout the cable route and also on either side of track crossings along the
cable route should be done. The cable marker should be concreted to a depth of 0.3 M from
the top of the cable marker to avoid theft.
17.11 As unscreened signalling cables are used, the necessary arrangements are made to comply
with the instructions issued at Part `B of Special requirements of signalling in AC electrified
area (1989) with latest amendments.
17.12 Contractor should be fully responsible for making necessary preventive arrangements to avoid
theft/damage to cables, during construction period and also up to handing over of station after
commissioning.
18.0
TRACK/ROAD CROSSINGS
(i)
Wherever signalling / power cable has to cross the track / road, it should be ensured that:
The cable crosses the track/road at right angles to track as for as feasible.
(ii)
The cable normally does not cross in between or inside points and crossings.
(iii)
The track/road crossings to be carried out as per the drawings No. RITES/SIG/GEN/028-98.
