shunting.
The minimum set of requirements is considered with reference to the following aspects:
− operational requirements for the use of radio remote control system;
− functional requirements for the radio remote control system;
− technical requirements for the radio remote control system.

4 The radio remote control system and its components
A radio remote control system has to comprise as a minimum:

− receiver;
− remote control portable and/or stationary device ;
− remote control onboard device.
NOTE: For more details, refer to Figure A.1.
5 General operational requirements
5.1 The use of the radio remote control shall not reduce the safe and normal operational use of the
traction vehicles.
5.2 If the traction vehicle operates in the radio remote control mode, all the command signals used in
local control mode shall be ineffective except the emergency stop command. If required, the audible
warning signal, sanding, application of brake, decrease of power and motor stop commands may also be
effective in radio remote control mode.
5.3 The traction vehicle shall be equipped with an interlock feature to prevent simultaneous activation
of the local control and radio remote control modes. Switching from local control mode to radio remote
control mode, and vice versa, shall only be performed when the traction vehicle is at a standstill and the
brake device activated to prevent train/vehicle from moving. The system design shall prevent switching
from one to another mode in any other train configuration.
5.4 The radio remote control system shall prevent an inadvertent initiation/release of the automatic
shunting coupling function. This shall be prevented by design and manufacture, e.g. applying two
switches or a single switch with a releasable lock, etc.

EN 50239:2018 (E)
Before putting the radio remote control system into operation the operator shall ensure that the correctly
assigned transmitter for the traction vehicle is being used. The operator shall check that the safety-related
control functions operate precisely as defined by operational instructions.
As long as the traction vehicle is operating in the radio remote control mode the operator shall be in
charge of the transmitter at all times.
5.5 The time between the action on the brake command and application of the brake pads shall not be
longer in remote control mode than in local cont
