If a fault develops in sub system on the train, what is the first indication?
Flashing general fault light
How do you respond to a flashing general fault light?
Press fault acknowledge button
What indication would you get to know where a fault is located?
1st unit and 2nd unit lights
If both 1st and 2nd unit fault lights are conflicting, what could this indicate?
Fault with coupler
What are the 3 causes of a critical defect?
- Pneumatic friction brake system fault
- loss of auxiliary power supply (both SIVs defective on one unit)
- wheel slip fault affecting sanders
If a critical fault light is illuminated what 3 actions can the driver take
Operate train at low speed
Detrain at first station
Shunt to nearest siding
If a critical fault light is illuminated and it is not possible to move the train, what 2 MCBs can we check?
-Friction brake and monitoring MCB (in all cars)
Static inverter monitoring MCB (in trailer car)
Critical fault found, cannot move train and relevant MCB can’t be reset - what happens?
Disabled
What does the maintenance fault light indictate?
Service required on that unit (safe operation of train not affected)
What does the reduced performance fault light indicate?
One or more motor cars are failing to deliver traction power
What does traction system fault light Indictate?
‘This car’ is failing to deliver traction power
How do we isolate traction motors?
We don’t, TCU automatically does it for train
How can a driver reset a traction lock caused by traction faults in the system?
Move MC to 0 for a limited time
During a wheel slip event the reduced performance light may illuminate. What can we do to resolve this?
Move MC to 0 for 2 seconds
Then continue to power
If there is an attempt to activate another cab, what two indications would a driver get?
Another cab active light in both cabs
Buzzer sound in cab where attempt is being made
3 steps a driver must take if another cab active light illuminates
-Inspect cleaner key in lead
-Make cab to cab
-Inspect each cab for being active
If unable to deactivate another cab active, what can we do to rectify?
Trip cab/train manned MCB in affected motor (train cannot be driven from this cab)
If CCTV fault light is illuminated, what 2 MCBs can we check?
CCTV central control MCB
DC-DC inverter PA, PI display MCB (if set, reset and trip)
Failure of PID, 2 MCBs we can check
-DC-DC inverter PA, PI display MCB (trip and reset after 30 seconds)
-Passenger info display MCB
If a failure of PA system is found during train preparation, what MCBs can we check?
Trip and reset =
PA system MCB (DMA car)
DC-DC inverter PA, PI display MCB
If PA system is not operational after resetting relevant MCBs, can we stable for fault rectification?
Yes
If we have a failure of PA while in running, which of the two relevant MCBs should driver check and reset, and for how long
DC-DC inverter PA, PI display MCB for 2 minutes
What are the 4 panto fault scenarios?
- one panto fails to raise
- all pantos fail to raise when UP button pressed
- all pantos fail to lower when STABLE button pressed
- all pantos fail to lower when DOWN button pressed
If one panto fails to raise after UP button pressed - what 2 MCBs can we check?
Panto Control MCB in local cab
Panto motor MCB in affected cab
If all pantos fail to raise, what MCB can you check?
Panto Control MCB In affected motor
If all pantos fail to raise and you’ve checked the relevant MCB, what do you do?
- Attempt raise from another motor
- If not, stable and wait 1 min
- Trip panto motor MCB
- Raise lead panto with crank handle
- Press panto UP
- Reset panto motor MCB
Pantos fail to lower when STABLE button is pressed, what MCBs do we check? (3)
Trip and reset:
- train stable, HSCB & light control MCB in local driving cab
And
- shut-down delay MCB in trailer car
And
- TCU MCB (as TCU may not realise train is stationary)
Pantos fail to lower when STABLE button is pressed and we’ve tripped and reset the relevant CB’s and pantos still fail to lower, what do we do?
Leave them raised and book it
Panto fails to lower when DOWN button is pressed - which CB
-Inspect/reset panto motor In affected car
-attempt to lower again
-if fails, leave them up (train cannot enter service)
How to isolate pantos
Key off and out
Stable
Trip panto motor affected car
If required - crank handle to lower
Key in and on
Press panto up
What is another reason all pantos fail to rise?
Low batteries
What is lost if one SIV goes out
50% HVAC
What equipment is lost if both SIVs go out?
Battery charger
Air compressors
HVAC
Emergency lighting only available
Half driver cab fluoro
What voltage can SIVs not be started up
82v DC
If train is under 82v how do we raise pantos (manual start)
Stable
Trip panto motor
Raise local panto via crank handle
Tri key on SIV box
Press white self excite button
Activate cab
Push panto up button
Reset panto motor
Can DCU isolate doors?
Yes
If DCU has isolated a door, what fault light will flash?
