Structure of Documentation
This Troubleshooting Manual provides instruction for troubleshooting different
systems and equipment in the trainset. This manual may be used as a base
document to frame troubleshooting guidelines for the trainset.
For ease of understanding and usability the complex trouble shooting - related
information in the documentation has been divided into two volumes:
This volume contains troubleshooting instructions for the en-route maintenance staff
provided by Medha Servo Drives Pvt. Ltd. In this document troubleshooting
instructions according to the fault code a displayed on the Driver Display Unit are
mentioned. Schematic reference for different coaches, functional groups and their
sub functional groups are provided along with location and check points for
troubleshooting.
