SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
This manual briefly describes the various steps to be taken by the Loco Pilots in case of
loco troubles on line.
The prescribed trouble shooting procedures laid emphasis on quick trouble shooting and
faster clearance of block sections in case of a mid-section failure.
This manual deals with the trouble shooting of locos as single, multiple and consists.
STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCO PILOTS AND TRACTION LOCO

CONTROLLERS
1. During trouble shooting in block section, utmost care should be taken to trouble
shoot the fault, and resume traction within 10 minutes. If unsuccessful
LC/TPC/CONTROL to be informed within next 10 minutes, for assistance. All
efforts should be made to minimize the detentions in block section.
2. In MU/Consist, if one of the loco fails, try to clear block section with good
loco/locos without wasting time for trouble shooting.
3. In case of trouble shooting in MU/Consist locos, the abnormal sign should always
be picked up from leading loco. There after all the observations and interventions
shall be made on the loco which is defective. [Always check the proper fitment of MU
jumpers].
4. When ever HOBA is placed in ‗Off‘ position during trouble shooting in one of the loco
in MU/Consist, HOBA of other locos also to be kept in ‗Off‘ position.
5. (a) During manual operation/wedging contactors or relays, ensure the operation of

auxiliary contacts with full crushing and contactors do not chatter after wedging.
(b) While Q-118 manually operated, release it after all blowers start or after 1
minute.
(c) While operating GR manually, ensure GR on ‗O‘ by anticlockwise movement.
6. LC should be informed at the normal stoppage regarding wedging of
relays/contactors.
(a)FOR WEDGING CONTACTORS: i) Take Full Safety measures. If C105, C106
& C107 are wedged, Q118 is to be
manually operated for closing DJ in ARNO
base loco.
ii) After isolating any auxiliary motor through
rotating switch, ensure its corresponding
contactor is properly opened.
Page 3 of 105
b) FOR WEDGING RELAYS: First switch off battery.
i) If relay Q118 is wedged- block section
may be cleared observing working of all
auxiliaries.
ii) Wedging of Q118 is not Permitted in
trailing Loco/Locos while driving from
leading loco.
iii) During the course of trouble shooting, if
it is required to wedge Q118 on rear loco –
Proceed to rear loco and wedge Q118 on
rear loco. Clear block section only driving
from rear loco observing working of all
auxiliaries following G&SR in force.
iv) Wedging of relay Q-44 & Q-45 is strictly
prohibited.
7. (a) During trouble shooting if MPH is isolated, the train can be worked up to the
destination provided MVRH is working normally and there is no appreciable rise
in the oil level in the transformer gauge.
The following current ratings to be observed.
Starting : 920 amps for 10 minutes.
Continuous : 500 amps
The loco should be withdrawn in a planned manner by the LC.

(b) In case MVRH is isolated- clear block section with the following current ratings.
Starting : 920 Amps for 10 minutes.
Continuous: 500 Amps.

(c) In case MVSL is isolated – Clear block section with the current rating of 500
Amps (Maximum).
8. During trouble shooting if HQOP/HOBA is kept ‗OFF‘ or HQOA is on ‗O‘ a frequent
watch should be kept for any smoke emission from power equipments i.e. RSI
blocks, TMs, BA & TK panel and Auxiliaries etc., as the case may be. LC should be
informed at the first opportunity. LC should withdraw the loco with HQOP/HOBA in
OFF or HQOA on ‗O‘ in a planned manner and direct the loco to the nearest shed for
attention.
9. Whenever any equipment (including TM)/relay is isolated on a locomotive, Loco Pilot

must record in the loco log book and inform LC at the first available opportunity.
LC must ensure planned withdrawal of the loco from service.

10. The Loco Pilots must record all cases of on line loco troubles/other unusual
occurrences/wheel slipping, clearly mention the time loss in block section/station,
time and place of occurrence as well as information given to LC (with name).

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED FOR VCD LOCOS
 Vigilance Control Device (VCD) monitors alertness of the engine crew on continues
basis by checking his actions while running a train.
 VCD consists of one control unit, two display unit (one on each cab), relay QVCD &
isolation switch HVCD.
 On putting BL key on BL box (Unlock), the VCD will become active but will remain in
suppressed mode. When pressure in locomotive build up, the VCD will start
functioning.
1. Engine crew should do any of the following operation once in 60 seconds for non
actuation of VCD:
a) Notch up/Notch down by master controller or EEC;
b) Brake applications through A9
c) Application of sander;
d) Pressing VCD acknowledgement push button available for LP.
e) Pressing of foot switch available for LP;
f) Operation of first shunting notch i.e. MPS-1
2. Actuation of VCD:
a) If none of the above operations is done within 60 seconds, a yellow flashing light will glow
for 8 seconds.
b) Even after that no operation is done then an alarm will sound along with yellow flashing light
for another 8 seconds.
c) Even after that (total 76 sec) if no operation is not done then VCD will actuate & apply
penalty brake automatically for 32 seconds and auto regression will take place. During
brake application only yellow flashing light shall glow.
3. Resetting of VCD:
Wait for 32 sec after penalty brake application.
Keep MP on zero position and then push the Reset push button available at driver desk.
(Pressing of reset button before 32 second shall not reset the VCD).

4. Bypass / Isolating of VCD:
 If RED LIGHT (FAULTY) flashes on VCD cab unit it indicates VCD has become defective.
 Put Bypass Switch HVCD on position ‗0‘ from ‗1‘ to bypass VCD duly endorsing in the log
book and inform TLC.
 Ensure the glowing of Bypass lamp in VCD cab unit & displaying VCD bypass in VCD
main unit and resume traction.
5. If VCD is mal-functioning & not bypassed even putting HVCD on ‗0‘:

 Trip the loco & Put HBA ‗OFF /ON‘
 Wedge the relay QVCD in de-energized condition
 Isolate IP valve cock
 Then energise the loco & resume traction. Enter in loco log book & inform TLC
6. When BL key is inserted, then VCD goes in ―self-check‖ mode. If the IP/E3W valve cock is in
closed condition then VCD will log the event as IP isolated.
7. VCD will remain in ―Sleep mode‖ when
1. In trailing loco in the MU operation.
2. Application of A-9/SA-9
3. Manual control of GR
8. Note:
1) Ensure IP valve COC in open position to avoid mal-functioning of VCD.
2) Vigilance acknowledgement Push Button/foot paddle switch should not be pressed for more
than 60 seconds continuously.
3) In standing condition, apply SA-9 (more than 1.5 kg/cm2) otherwise VCD may be active in the
locomotive.
4) Don‘t try to reset VCD within 32 sec after application of penalty brake.
Trouble shooting
1. In case of auto regression of GR on 1st notch - check relay QVCD-
If energized – Reset VCD as per procedure.
If unsuccessful- try with putting HBA on ‗0‘ and again on ‗1‘
If unsuccessful- wedge QVCD in de-energized condition and isolate VCD by keeping HVCD
on ‗0‘.
2. BP Pressure is not building up after resetting VCD
Check IP valve for any air leakage and found, Isolate IP valve C.O.C and Open after BP
is recreated.
If unsuccessful- Isolate IP valve C.O.C and isolate VCD by putting HVCD on‘ 0‘

Instruction About Auto Flasher Light :
Modification of switch ‗ON‘ Auto Flasher Light, LED & Audio indication automatically during
train parting/ACP is just an aid to Loco Pilot.
This modification does not alter duties/responsibility of the Loco Pilot as mentioned in GR&SR.
1. Press push button switch ―BPSW‖ provided in each cab for initial charging of BP after EOT
& for quick release of train brakes when applied A9.
BPSW is to be released after BP reaches 5 Kg/cm2.
2. The modification functions only when Reverser key ―MPJ‖ is operated in ―F‖ or ―R‖
direction.
3. To test this modification, press test switches ―TS‖ provided in Cab2 and observe Auto
Flasher Light working, Buzzer sounding, LED indication and auto regression of GR. It
works till it is kept in pressed condition.
4. In case of train parting/ partial uncoupling of BP pipe / during ACP / application RS1/RS2,
Loco Pilot gets Auto Flasher Light with buzzer & LED indication and auto regression of GR.
Loco Pilot should immediately find out the cause of abnormality and act as given in GR and
SR
5. Press reset switch SW to stop flasher light working & buzzer sounding after checking and
ensuring for any abnormality as per GR & SR, LED indication continues to glow till BP
recharges to 4.8 Kg/Cm2.
6. If resetting of only buzzer is required but wants to continue the glowing of flasher light then
LP must manually switch ‗ON‘ Flasher Light before pressing reset switch SW.
7. In any emergency, if auto Flasher Light is not working, put ‗ON‘ flasher light manually.
8. In MU operation during cab changing from one to another loco the following sequence of
operation should be carried out by the Loco Pilot to release the air pressure of P1 pipeline
between MU2B & A9 valve of trailing loco.
o MU2B to be operated to ―Trail‖ position & isolate the L/T cock.
o Apply A9 valve up to full service then isolate the inlet & outlet cut out cock so as to
release BP pressure.
Release A9 and proceed to other loco and energize as per normal
procedure.
In case of malfunctioning of Auto Flasher Light, or if TLTE is experienced, remove
CCLSA fuse and resume traction, work the train. Inform TLC, and
make an entry in the loco logbook.
9. Loco Pilot should not disturb setting of pressure switches/ A9 after the Sheds have set it.
10. Whenever a goods train is controlled by A-9 and while recreating BP, if it takes more than
1minute to come BP pressure up to 4.7 kg/cm2 due to excess leakage on train. This may
be cause for glowing of Auto flasher light. In this case LP is advised to release A9 gradually
/press SW as per condition.
NB :- NEVER USE TEST SWITCH “TS” WHILE TRAIN IS ON RUN

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIV FITTED LOCO

CHECKING OPERATION IN CASE OF TRIPPING FAILURE.
1.. In case of tripping on line, Bring MP to ―0‖,wait 15 second for LSGR to glow .If
LSGR not glow then bring GR to ―0‖ manually .If LSGR glow then check PANTO
and OHE. If any abnormality found then lower the PANTO ,stop the train, comply
with GR 6.03.If no abnormality found then check safety relay targets ,If relay
targets show red/locked follow trouble shooting of safety relays. In case of
tripping failure always check relay QSIT/LSSIT lamp along with safety relays after
every tripping during the course of trouble shooting.
b) In case of tripping with QSIT drop LSSIT lamp glow; it means trouble is in SIV.
Then check the fault code / fault message displayed on the VFD and trouble
shooting to be done accordingly.(Either INTERNAL FAULT or EXTERNAL
FAULT.)
c) In case of tripping with any fault indication lamp on its panel, LP to note down
the text message displayed on the LCD/VFD, before trouble shooting. The
same message to be followed & conveyed to TLC, if required.
2.If no relay target dropped and QSIT not energies and LSSIT not glow then pick up
abnormal sign as per ARNO loco. During the course of trouble shooting count the
time/pick up abnormal sign only after extinguishing LSCHBA (i.e. after SIV picked
up)
3. HSIV to be put on ‗0‘ in case of external fault in auxiliary circuit only when:-
a) Locomotive is stuck up in block section and to work the train up to next station
maximum up to 45 minutes.
b)If It is not possible to identify and isolate the fault circuit.
c) Earth fault message displayed on SIV PANEL.
4. During MU operation if one loco is ARNO fitted and other is SIV fitted, then the
loco pilot should :-
Page 88 of 105
i) Release the BLRDJ switch as per the practice being followed in the case of
ARNO fitted loco, irrespective of one or the other loco is fitted with ARNO or
SIV.
ii) Take initial ‗6‘ traction notches slowly enough after closing of DJ to ensure that
in event of the rear loco being fitted with SIV , it does not trip through air flow
relay as the blowers take little time to start in SIV loco.
5. During ICDJ trouble shooting in SIV loco: loco pilot to check Q44 instead of C118

4. Do not use RB.
5. If DJ tripped on notches, or during NO TENSION bring ‗MP‘ to ‗0‘.
Q51
1. If required wedge in de-energised position.( in case of MU/Consist in all locos)
2. Auto regression will not take place by the action of QD, Q20, QRS or PR2.
3. If LSP glowing due to wheel slipping – regress notches to avoid wheel skidding or
rail burnt.
4. Observe BP level- if drops or dropped by A9 - bring ‗MP‘ to ‗0‘.
QRS
Before checking QRS, Ensure – i) BL is unlocked ii) BP pressure 5kg/cm2
iii) RGEB COC is open.
1. If required wedge in energized position ( in case of MU/Consist in all locos)
2. If BP pressure dropped abnormally or dropped by A9/RS – bring MP to ‗‗0‘.
Q100
To be checked after DJ closing.
1. If required wedge in energized position (in case of CCA good but still it is de-
energized )
2. If required wedge in de- energized position (in case of CCA melts even after HOBA
‗OFF‘ or after closing BLVMT in MU loco.)
3. In case wedged Q100 in energized condition open all auxiliary switches before
closing DJ, close one by one giving time gap to avoid over loading on ARNO.
4. If after wedging found ICDJ, ensure MPJ on ―0‘‘ – try to close DJ.
5. If still found ICDJ – Put HBA on ‗0‘ and then on 1 close DJ.
Q118
To be checked after HBA on ‗1‘-
1. If required wedge in energized position.
2. While working ensure all auxiliaries are working (Frequently).
3. Clear block section only.
4. Not to wedge in trailing loco. (If needed drive from trailing loco after wedging.)
Q52
1. If required wedge in de-energized condition.
2. While taking notches by MP quickly bring to ‖N‖ from + or – or quickly release
BPP/BPR while using EEC.
QTD101(SIV fitted LOCO)
1. If required wedge in energized condition.
2 .Close BLCPA/BLCPD after at least 5 seconds SIV starts ( LSCHBA extinguish.)
QCON (SIV fitted loco)
1. If required wedge in energized condition.
2. Close DJ by manual operation of Q118.
3. Close BLCPA/BLCPD after at least 5 seconds SIV starts
QSVM
1. To be wedged either in energized or de-energized condition if SIV fail to restart
after closing BLVMT .Always close BLVMT before closing DJ

AIR DRYER
TWIN TOWER REGENERATING TYPE DESSICANT AIR DRYERS is used to remove
 OIL DROPLETS FROM AIR

 DIRT PARTICLES FROM AIR
 MOISTURE FROM AIR
It is fitted in between MR-2 and MR-3. It comes into function when compressors are
working. While air dryer is in service, slight exhaust of air takes place continuously from
purge valves alternatively. This should not be considered as leakage.
If only MR is not maintaining due to air leakage from air dryer, air dryer may be isolated
– mention in the log book with date and time.
Visual checking of Humidity indicator :
a) Blue colour: Dryer is performing correctly.

b) Lavender: Dryer is suspected for any malfunctioning.
c) White: Possible damaged dryer.
d) Yellow or Brown colour : Damaged dryer. It indicates that desiccant has
been contaminated with oil. Replacement of
coalesci and desiccant is required.
Note :
Service – Cock ―A‘ & ―B‖ open – ―C‖ close.
Isolate -- Cock ―A‘ & ―B‖ close – ―C‖ open.
