WDG4/WDP4 Locos Air Brake Self Test Occasions to conduct: This test is to be conducted when Air Brake Failure Message displayed in the LCC or EM2000 display. When it is not possible to recover the penalty brake by placing the Auto brake handle to Full Service for 10 seconds or 60 seconds in Emergency. BC Pressure is not dropping to zero when direct brake handle is released. Before conducting Air Brake Self Test: Stop the train/loco and secure as per the instructions. Recycle the MAB and recover the penalty as per LCC Display. If unable to recover the penalty then only Air brake self-test to be done. Ensure the following to before conducting Air Brake Self Test: MR Pressure should be above 8.0 kg/cm2 and no external leakage. Front truck Brake cylinder COC is in open position. Loco is fully secured to prevent rolling of the loco during the test. (Apply hand brake and place wooden wedges). Loco is isolated from the formation.(Close all BCEQ, MREQ COCs, BP, FP COC)...

WDG4/WDP4 Locos OSTA Tripping Indications: During cranking engine will not fire. During running engine will shut down. Message in Display: No start - Mechanical OSTA Tripped, Reset before Start. Action to be Taken by LP: Reset OSTA and crank the loco. Message will go off automatically after engine gets hold. Message in Display in SIEMENS Loco No Aux. gen. output/check all breakers. Action to be Taken by LP: Press EFCO button or recycle computer breaker ad crank the loco. LLOB Tripping Indications: During cranking engine will not CRANK. During running engine will shut down. Message in Display: Engine protection shut down – Low Oil Pressure. Action to be Taken by LP: Ascertain the reason, reset LLOB. Ensure Low Water Button is in normal position then. Re-crank the loco. Low Water Button in EPD Tripping Indications: During cranking engine gets hold and shut down automatically within 180 seconds. During running engine will shut dow...

WDG4/WDP4 Locos MR1 Pressure is available and MR safety valve blowing Probable Reasons: If computer breaker is tripped. Compressor is defective during loading. MR1 J Filter COC is closed (sanders, wipers, horns, Auto drain and Radar blow down is also not achievable. Action to be taken by LP: Reset the same. Inform shed and work onwards. Keep MR1 J Filter COC in open. MR1 Pressure is low with PCS open indication Probable Reasons: Compressor is defective in unloading. (MVCC - Trouble). MR1 - Auto blow down valve blowing continuously. Feed pipe leakage. MR Equalizer leakage. Leakage in Air Drier. Sander or horn valves blowing continuously. Action to be taken by LP: Close MR1 J Filter COC and drain MR1 J- Filter and open the MR1 J Filter COC, when MR safety valve starts bowing.. Close to shut off position (manual position –spindle inside). Close additional FP COC. Close both end MR Equalizer COC. Put off Air drier breaker and disconnect electrical c...

WDG4/WDP4 Locos MR2 Pressure is low with PCS open indication Probable Reasons: Ensure M R1 pressure. MR2 – Auto blow down valve blowing continuously. Leakage in BP Pipe. Leakage in BC Pipe. Leakage in BC Eq. Pipe. Compressor Defect. Action to be taken by LP: Trouble shoot and create. Close to shut off position (manual position – spindle inside). Check and arrest the leakage. Check and arrest the leakage, if unsuccessful isolate the truck by closing Brake Cylinder COC. Ensure BC Eq. Cocks are closed. Check oil level or unusual sound.

Air Brake System Problems Indications: Crew message- Communication link failure MAB. Air brake fault-use loco in LEAD only. Air brake fault-use loco in TRAIL only. Air brake fault-BC control failure. Air brake fault-BC equalizing control failure. No blended brake - Lock out. Loco brakes not releasing. Remedial action for Communication link failure MAB: Recycle micro air brake & Computer control breakers. Check for tightness of COM card of EM2000. Check for tightness of CPZ card in CCB system. Check for tightness of VCU connectors and CRJ Connector. Check for other Probable Reasons Remedial action for Air Brake failure-use loco in LEAD: Inform Shed and work further. Check for other Probable Reasons Remedial action for Air brake failure-use loco in TRAIL: Check for availability of MR pressure. If available, recycle Micro Air Brake and computer control breakers. Conduct Air Brake Self-Test. If MR pressure is not available,Consult Shed. Chec...

PENALTY BRAKE Effect BP and ER pressure drops to 'Zero'. TE Meter drops to zero. Message will be displayed in the Display. Emergency Penalty occasions: After self test. Auto brake emergency. BP Drops below 2.8 kg/cm2 due to Train parting or ACP Pulling or Emergency brake valve application. BP pipe cut, D1 Emergency application. Full Service Penalty: After recycling 'LCC' or 'MAB'. VCD / Alerter operation. Wrong set up of LT Switch. Applied by 'CCB' for safety. PENALTY RESET PROCEDURE: Bring throttle handle to 'Idle'. Follow the message in 'LCC screen' i.e. in working control stand.. Keep auto brake handle in 'Emergency' or 'Full Service' according to the display.. Give time pause according to the display message.( i.e. 10 seconds for Full service and 60 seconds for emergency penalty).. Bring Auto brake handle to 'RUN POSITION' (When displayed in LCC to do so if not do in the other c...
