Abstract

A method of and a device for switching-off a supervision system, e.g. a system for supervising the speed of a train. It must be possible to switch off the supervision system, but only when a predetermined pattern of operations are followed. This is achieved by using a time control activation current loop to briefly operate a contact device by means of first and second operating members in combination with a time independent activation current loop that holds the contact device closed provided the predetermined pattern of operations is followed.
