Different types of operating systems

To meet the needs of our Class I clients, Hetronic supplies an RLC operating system that integrates our MU controller with hydraulic and pneumatic functions and custom-made radio remote controls. With both wearable and cabled options and a wide range of optional functions, including man-down, diagnostics and speed control, our Class I system is designed as per the AAR guidelines and complies with the FAR guidelines. The Hetronic RLC controls pretty much every movement you will make with your locomotive, while you stay in a safe position.
Class II (short distance)
Hetronic NOVA XL or NOVA 1 transmitter and receiver systems provide flexibility in the controls, increases the safety of the driver and offers robust efficiency and productivity for short-distance rails. Our new NOVA with video feedback provides extensive safe functioning over the entire length of the train.
