(ii) The circuitry shall be such as to obviate the possibility of the resetting
by the dispatching/receiving station independently.

(b) The reset box shall be operated by a key which shall be kept locked in a
separate box kept in the ASM‟s office. Each and every operation of the
reset button shall be counted on a non-resettable type counter and shall
be recorded in the Train Signal Register by both the ASMs, indicating the
movement before and after the operation of the reset button. During
inspection of the stations the Signal and Traffic Inspecting officials shall
specifically checkup and ensure that the system of exchange of private
number is being followed meticulously.

(c) The procedure of resetting, verification of clearance of concerned axle
counter section from any obstruction/vehicles before resetting is initiated
and piloting of the first train shall be clearly laid down in the Station
Working Rules.

17.7.5 Axle Counter Resetting - Station Section: Where Axle Counter is provided
in station section, the following procedure shall be followed for resetting:

(a) For Point zones/Loop lines/Sidings:- Once the Axle Counter has failed
and is showing fault condition, the on duty Assistant Station Master
(ASM)/Station Master (SM) shall first arrange to verify that line on which
train is to be received is physically clear of any obstruction. Such physical
verification of failed Track section shall be done through Line verification
box (LV box) which shall be installed close to the line to be verified. The
resetting shall be cooperative and done jointly by the on duty ASM along
with another Operating Staff, who shall verify physical clearance of Line
and operate the line verification box for the failed Track section of axle
counter.

(b) For Main line/Run through lines:- Preparatory Reset arrangement along
with arrangements mentioned at (a) above, shall be provided.

(c) The reset box shall be operated by a key which shall be kept locked in a
separate box secured in the ASM‟s office. Each and every operation of the
reset button shall be recorded in the Train Signal Register by the ASM and
during inspection of the station; the Signal and Traffic inspecting officials
shall specifically check up the procedures being followed in respect of the
above resetting device and ensure that laid down procedure for resetting is
being followed.

(d) This procedure of ensuring that the monitored portion is free of any vehicle
before resetting is done, shall be clearly laid down in the Station Working
Rules.

(e) The first train after the reset operation may be either received on calling-on
signal or piloted as per the extant rules after verification of the clearance of
the reception line.
