How To Energies The Loco
1.Check the machine room and cubicle HB1/2,SB1/2 and pneumatic panel and ensure that all Circuit breakers, rotating switches and cock at Pn. Panel are at Normal position and ensure that key ‘IG-38’ is provided on pneumatic panel. Also ensure that panto selector switch is at normal position.
2 compartment light, it ensures closing of main circuitry breaker 112 of battery.
3.Put battery additional circuit breaker No.112.1 to ‘ON’ position in cubicle SB-2. Also ensure that CHBA circuit breaker no. 110 (SB2) is at ON position.
4.Go in operating cab.
5.Insert A-9 handles at ‘Neutral’ position and keep it in ’RUN’ position by lifting lock.
6.Insert ‘BL’ key at ‘OFF’ position and turn it to ‘D’ position
a. Light of screen (panel-C) and Memotel will get ON.
b. MCPA will start (if pressure is less).
c. UBA will deviate to 110 volts.
d. LSDJ will glow.
All above indications indicates that Control Electronics is get ‘ON’.
7.The message “Loco is in configuration, please wait” will appear on the screen and self testing is done for 20 seconds.
8.During testing, all pilot lamps will glow and extinguish, Bogies-1 & 2 meter will deviate both in TE/BE mode and come to -0
9.After testing FLG No. 504, will be displayed on the screen, Now press ‘ZPT’ in ‘UP’ mode for raising of pantograph and confirm the touching of panto with contact wire by seeing physically also Umeter will deviate and indicate the value of OHE voltage.
10.No.550 will display on the screen- now press BLDJ for closing VCB and check ‘LSDJ’ is extinguished. Now DJ will close, loco will energize and the all auxiliary will get start automatically.
11.Ensure that BLCP is at AUTO position.
12.No.570 will appear on the screen.
13.After MR pressure build up to 6.4 kg/cm2 , set Reverser to F/R as per requirement. (FLG 590 will show on the screen.)
Note:-If the reverser is set without confirming the MR pressure i.e above 6.4 kg/cm2 , then P-1 message will be there on screenindicating wrong operation.
Apply loco brakes. Now release the parking brakes. Ensure BP pressure to 5 kg/cm2Ensure AFI is at Zero.
15.Now operate throttle in TE direction.
16.TE /BE meter will deviate in TE side indicating that traction is available. No. “596” will appear on the screen.
17.Check the loco brake power. Release loco brake.
18.Now you can move the train / loco.
Note: Priority -1 message will appear on the screen if: -
1.If Reverser is put on position F or R before when MR pressure is below 6.4 kg/cm2 2.If throttle is operated without releasing parking brakes. 3.If throttle is operated without recharging BP to 5 kg/cm
2 . Information message will appear on the screen if :-
1.If throttle is operated before node information No. 590
