ON-LOCOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT CHECKOUT AND ANALYSIS

5.1

GENERAL INFORMATION:
This chapter provides recommendations regarding equipment checkout and analysis to be
performed on the Knorr CCB Brake System for Indian Railways. Whenever there is a suspected
brake problem or degraded brake performance, it is necessary for that locomotive to have an
equipment checkout and analysis performed to locate and correct the problem. The following
instructions should also be used when normal equipment inspections are performed.
Figure 5-1 shows an average Test Gage Panel that should be attached to the Pneumatic Control
Units (PCU) test ports during testing.
