Important Don’ts
1.Do not keep TE Limit switch in „Limit‟ position unnecessarily
when not required.
2.Do not keep MCOS in OFF position while all motors are working GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
3.Do not start the loco without ensuring ON position of above MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
switches. (For Official Use)
4.Do not crank the engine with MCB1 & MCB2 in ON
position. Otherwise penalty brakes are applied if BCP is not build Pamphlet on Micro Processor Based Control
up with in 94 seconds. System fitted on Alco Loco
5.Do not release the start button till cranking contactor pick up.
Otherwise the time starts again.
6.Do not keep MCB1 & MCB2 in ON position in rear locomotive.
Otherwise load meter does not respond in rear loco.
7.Do not keep the EPG cutout switch in ON position in rear / dead
locos. Otherwise MR pressure reduces.
8 Do not release loco brakes while loco is stabled. Otherwise VCD
apply penalty brakes.
9.Do not reduce notch for momentary wheel slip while loco is
moving.
10 Do not reduce notch for the message „TM# Excess Current‟ while
the loco is moving unless and until warranted by railroad signals.
11.Do not release brakes till the locomotive is ready to move after
total power loss at 95deg centigrade.(@ 90deg. Centigrade of
engine temperature.)
12.Do not isolate VCD magnet valve cutout cock unless and until
the valve is leaking.
13.Do not try to reset penalty brakes if
a) Loco is moving or
b) Throttle is in Notch /Dy brake
c) VCD lamp is blinking IRCAMTECH/Mech/2011/MPCS /1.0
