Rail Temperature Monitoring Unit (RTM)
“The Rail Temperature Monitors from Yeltech are a proven and reliable asset to Network Rail. We use them during our hot weather period to monitor rail temperatures at remote sites across the infrastructure thus freeing up manpower to do other priority work.”

RTM – MK3
The Rail Temperature Monitoring Unit is an automatic temperature warning system. It attaches to rail lines in seconds by using a powerful built-in magnet. The RTM activates on attachment and begins sending data. It is designed to continuously monitor the temperature of rails on railway tracks during the summer and winter months.
The system runs in two modes: In Normal Mode below 25 degrees, it will batch data and send it every 12 hours. Above 25 degrees, the system will send data in Fast Transmission Mode every 30 or 60 minutes. The system uses sensors to measure the temperature of the rails continuously and alerts maintenance crews if the temperature exceeds pre-defined thresholds.

YELCloud Interface - accurate and easy to use
The RTM uses a mobile signal to send data, so it can be positioned remotely. Data is easily accessed through the YelCloud System and pre-defined alerts can be set both on the data interface and by sending an alert email to a pre-defined email address.
This Yeltech TRM system is designed to facilitate the implementation of speed restrictions on line sections, avoid costly manual assessments, prevent service disruption caused by rail buckling/distortion, and mitigate accidents from derailments.
