    CCB II Brake System

    • The CCB II brake system provides Penalty brake, Independent brake, Automatic brake, and Emergency brake applications.

    Locomotive Startup

    • When the locomotive starts, the AC/DC system change must initially be set to DC system operation.

    Depot Supply and Safety Measures

    • During Depot supply operation, a traction cut-off is applied as a safety measure to prohibit the locomotive from starting.
    • There are two track magnet detectors, one on each end of the locomotive.

    REMB Abbreviation

    • REMB stands for Rear Emergency Master Button.

    Parking Brake

    • The parking brake can be manually operated via two pushbuttons located on the Bi-Stable Valve (P03) in the Machine Room zone 2.
    • There are six Parking Brake units installed on the locomotive.
    • Pressing Pushbutton (Item 1, Figure 5) will release the applied Parking Brakes, and pressing Pushbutton (3) will apply the released Parking Brakes.

    Fire Alarm and Warning Systems

    • When a fire is detected, the TCMS will activate visual and auditory alarm warnings on the driver's display, in the occupied cab, and in the toilet cubicle of the affected locomotive.
    • The alarm is transmitted to the leading locomotive via WTB and as a "General Fault Alarm" via the Train Line.

    Equipment Location

    • The air conditioner compartment is located on the B-side of the locomotive.
    • The transformer air outlets are located on the B-side of the locomotive.
    • The cooling tower 2 air inlet is located on the B-side of the locomotive.

    • The emergency release of the park brake can be reset through applying compressed air to the parking brake cylinders.
    • The parking brake status is shown on two indicators in the cab of the locomotives.
    • The Park Brake is activated by two pushbuttons on the left control panel located on the Train Driver's desk.

    Automatic Brake Handle

    • A locking pin is used to lock the Automatic Brake handle in the neutral position when the locomotive is a trailing locomotive in a consist.
    • The Automatic Brake handle has switching positions: OVR, PARK, NEUTRAL, RELEASE, and RUN.

    Fire Extinguisher

    • A 7kg portable carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is equipped within the machinery room.
    • The fire extinguisher is fixed to the machinery room wall with a harness and the harness is secured by two pins.

    Interlocking System

    • The yellow key is used to release the red key after the earthing switch was moved to "earthed".
    • The interlocking system is used to lock and unlock doors and lids.

    HVAC System

    • The HVAC unit is side-mounted and located behind the rear wall of the driver's cab.
    • The foot well heaters will be able to operate when the HVAC is in cooling mode.
    • The control panel of the HVAC system LED's will switch off after 45 seconds.

    Derailment Protection Beams

    • Derailment protection beams are intended to avoid massive damages to the bogie mounted equipment following a derailment.

    Air Supply and Sand

    • Air supply to the sand is supplied by D01.

    Equipment Location on the Roof

    • Traction motor blower air inlets are located on the roof of the locomotive.
