MP96 RCL

Powerful Locomotive Remote Control

The MP96 RCL is our non-speed control top of the line locomotive radio remote control system with many ACCUSPEED™ features and all of the quality and reliability. Offering the safety and dependability required for operating machinery in harsh, industrial environments the MP96 enables one operator on the ground to effectively control switching operations and train movements. The system provides the all-important extra margin of safety by enabling the operator to input all commands out of harm’s way while having greater visibility along the length of the train.

The MP96 maintains the highest level of signal integrity for the safest possible operation. Multiple Processors provide simultaneous and independent data signal processing of all incoming commands. Multiple "Watch Dog" timers ensure no motion is carried out without a command from the operator. Cattron-Theimeg continues to be the recognized technology leader in the design and implementation of LRC (Locomotive Remote Control) systems with more than 56 years of radio frequency experience and nearly 10,000 locomotive and rail related installations worldwide.
