Question 10

Once coupled what has to be observed at start of Continuity test (with 2 drivers)

Answer 10

Attaching driver:
Confirm Park Brakes applied
Place BCH to Step 7
Observe BC pressure at approx 250 kPa

Assisting driver:
Observe BC pressure at approx 250 kPa

Question 11

How long does assisting driver open Van Area EC for to test continuity?

Answer 11

15 seconds

Question 12

What does assisting driver want to see BP pressure drop to when they open Van Area EC?

Answer 12

Below 300 kPa

Question 13

After 15 seconds, the assisting driver closes the Van Area EC … what do they want to see BP pressure increase to?

Answer 13

minimum of 425 kPa

Question 14

How long does the assisting driver give the BP pressure to increase?

Answer 14

40 seconds

Question 15

What does BP pressure need to be to divide?

Answer 15

Less than 250

Question 16

What position does reverser have to be in to divide?

Answer 16

Neutral

Question 17

What does anti-neutralisation device do?

Answer 17

Stops us running in neutral over 8kmh

Question 18

How long will door chimes for if obstructed?

Answer 18

60 seconds

Question 19

What positions of reverser do you not have to hold the hand pilot valve down

Answer 19

Off and neutral

Question 20

Why will the Door Close Button Flash (FDCL)?

Answer 20

Door System Faults

Control CB tripped in rear cab

Auxiliary CB tripped in any cab

PLC CB tripped in any trailing car

Rear Motor tail lights turned off

Coupler senses it is still coupled

Second BVICS opened

Open circuit in Train Cable

Question 21

Why does the Low Pressure flag pop up?

Answer 21

If Main Res. air falls below 500kPa

BVICS closed

EP Brake CB (top left) tripped
- this isolates EP and Rheo brake

EP MR Isolate Cock turned vertical (closed)
- Isolates flow of MR air to flag and it rises

Question 22

Attaching - What does assisting driver check from the platform - without entering the pit?

Answer 22

Coupling mouthpieces in place and good condition

MR and BP cocks are open

Couplers are aligned

If viewable … electrical coupling cocks are in coupling position

Question 23

Why does the Motor Alternator overspeed?

Answer 23

Control CB trips???

Question 24

What positions on the Reverser do you have to have the hand/foot pilot valve set?

Answer 24

Forward and Reverse

Question 25

When do low beam headlights come on automatically?

Answer 25

When Reverser is in Forward

Question 26

When will low beam headlights come off?

Answer 26

When Reverser is moved to Neutral or Reverse and the headlights switch is off.
