State Rail Authority Safe Stations, Passenger and Security Project
A case study on the use of
the KRONE TERMINATOR™
System by Tyco Integrated
Systems (formerly Philips
Projects Australasia) to
connect the control and
power supplies in each
closed circuit television
(CCTV) monitoring rack.
The safety of the hundreds of
thousands passengers who use the
CityRail network is of paramount
importance to the management
team at the State Rail Authority
(SRA) Vandalism to carriages or
tracks and illegal and/or anti-social
behaviour on board trains or in the
CityRail precincts such as commuter
stations, carparks and bus interchanges is a major
concern for the SRA
In the 1990s, a Master Plan was drawn up by
SRA and tenders were called for a security
surveillance system
Philips Projects Australasia was one of the
successful bidders for the highly contested contract
for what is the largest project of its type in the
world The station security package to all stations
includes security cameras and high intensity lighting
being rolled out across the CityRail network
In all, more than 5,700 CCTV cameras have been
installed at 302 CityRail stations and major CityRail
precincts such as commuter car parks and bus
interchanges To ensure continuous effective
operation of the system, the SRA required a
comprehensive maintenance contract
Images from all cameras are recorded at two frames
per second, 24 hours a day This huge volume of
data is maintained by a digital recording and storage system that provides reliable, high quality images for use in legal prosecution proceedings All video is recorded to hard disk drives and, later
on, to 34GB DAT tapes controlled by an automatic jukebox This provides continuous operation with
no human intervention, where new video overwrites the oldest video in the system
An intranet network links each of the CityRail stations Monitoring of the system (including live video) can take place from designated remote control room locations
The success of the CCTV rollout was evident during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when the cameras were effectively used for security and crowd control
Cable Termination
The TERMINATOR system is based on the KRONE Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) technique which requires no stripping or screwing Using a simple tool, wires are inserted between contacts placed at a 45-degree angle which simultaneously displace the insulation and notch the conductor
This method leaves more conductor between contact points and provides a more reliable connection Screwless terminations also overcome the potential risk of failing to tighten the screw correctly, a common cause of terminal failure
Evaluation
The KRONE TERMINATOR system saved time for Philips Projects Australasia as well as producing reliable connections
John Freeland, Philips’ Site Supervisor for SRA said
of TERMINATOR: “One particular advantage of the KRONE TERMINATOR system was the ability to add

fuse protection with indication to the camera
supply circuits when required without having to
change terminals and wiring.”
The TERMINATOR Disconnect Terminal allows for a
fuse holder to be inserted at any time after removal
of the disconnect link This means that a special
fuse holder type terminal does not have to be
nominated and installed in the original installation
The TERMINATOR gives total flexibility
Eurovac is one of the systems integrators
sub-contracted by Philips Projects to perform the final
termination of data and video cables to the cameras
and CCTV monitoring racks
“KRONE’s TERMINATOR was the cabling
termination solution specified by Philips Projects,”
said Greg Lankow, Managing Director, Eurovac
“Prior to the CityRail project, we had no experience
with the product and, as a first time user, found it
extremely easy to use It actually halves the length
of time we would normally have spent on stripping
the wires down and connecting them to terminals
“From an ongoing maintenance point of view,
fusable links can be easily monitored There are test
points on the KRONE block where
a probe may be inserted to determine the voltage and gauge the density
of the signal Before TERMINATOR, we would have had to pull wires out and test each one individually,” said
Mr Lankow
“We were so impressed by all the features the KRONE
TERMINATOR system offers – and the fact that it is
an Australian-manufactured product – that we are now specifying it for our other CCTV sites, particularly in the hotel security area.”
