SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions;
These test sheets have been prepared based on General Motors Engineering Test Instructions. Each of the tests and records
involved in this set of locomotive system checks is important to the proper operation and performance of the locomotive.
Each item is to be completed and the results noted where space has been provided for test data. If no space is provided,
simply complete the test and sign off in the column provided. If any defects are encountered, advise the appropriate
person(s) immediately so that a course of action can be determined.
It is important that the quality of the completed locomotive be as close to manufacturers standards as possible. The
performance of the locomotive at the railway will reflect the high standard of quality work completed by this team.
Note:
References to the "LSM" mean the yellow GT26CW-2 Locomotive Service Manual.
References to the "EMM" mean the 645E3B Engine Maintenance Manual.
References to the “RMM” mean the model specific Running Maintenance Manual for the GT26CW-MP
Safety;
It is important at all times to be aware of all staff working on or around the test locomotive. DO NOT attempt to start or
move the locomotive without all persons being aware and ready. When the locomotive is ready to be started, first apply shop
air to the locomotive and charge the brake system. Ensure that the brake blocks are securely applied to the wheels before
starting the locomotive engine.
NEVER move the locomotive without a guide on the ground, and always circle the locomotive prior to moving to ensure that
there are no personnel working on or under the unit, and that there are no hoses or cables positioned to be damaged when
the unit is moved.
ALWAYS leave the locomotive (if unattended) with the isolation switch in "START" and the GF switch "OFF", reverser
handle removed and the handbrake firmly applied. If the locomotive is left shut down, remove the starting fuse and pull the
battery switch open. Before testing, ensure that the locomotive is equipped with both fire extinguishers.
DO NOT attempt to operate the locomotive unless you have been trained and are qualified.
Warning !
This is an untested locomotive. Incorrect wiring can cause unpredictable actions / reactions. The purpose of
this test procedure is to ensure all wiring has been correctly installed and that the system operates as ZTR
designed it to operate.
Railroad and/or re-builder are responsible for ensuring the daily inspections are done. These tests are to be
performed in addition to (and NOT in place of) any other tests/checks for which the railroad and/or re-builder
are responsible. Before beginning the test procedure, the locomotive engine must be shut down, handbrake
applied, and the battery switch pulled. The airbrake system should be charged, setup for lead, and the
independent brake applied. Also ensure that the START fuse is pulled. All breakers must be open, and all
control stand switches must be off (i.e. down).
Qualified Railway electricians, who will follow all Railway Standard Operating Procedures and safety
precautions, should perform all electrical testing. Additionally, only a qualified Locomotive Operator who will
follow all Railway Standard Operating Procedures and safety precautions should operate the locomotive.

200 NEXSYS MICROPROCESSOR SHUT DOWN TESTS
201 IDEAS SOFTWARE Run-through

IDEAS (Integrated Diagnostic Expert Analysis System) is the software package designed
specifically for use with a ZTR Microprocessor control system. IDEAS provides the user with
the capability of effectively and efficiently diagnosing the performance of the ZTR control
system, in this case NEXSYS II-E.
IDEAS will be used throughout this test procedure to allow you to interface with NEXSYS II-E
and monitor its inputs and outputs. The following outlines the IDEAS menus and a brief
description of how each will be used for this test procedure.
Diagnostics
When the unit is not performing as expected the screens located here provide possible causes.
Screens are also available that provide internal CPU parameters (register values, I/O status)
Reports
These screens are used to download the Ground Fault Log reports. For more information please
refer to the NEXSYS II-E Manual.
Monitor
The screens are used to view locomotive performance, various loggers and status of components
within the NEXSYS II-E system. Some parameters shown are traction circuit voltages, current
and engine water
temperature.
Setup
These screens are used to update the unit number and set the NEXSYS II-E CPU clock.
There is also a screen that shows the traction circuit set points.
Test
The screens in this menu will be used to verify wiring during the initial segment of the test
instructions.
The status of certain inputs and outputs are also displayed in the Inputs and Outputs screen.
There are a couple of items of note when viewing this screen:
• The LED beside an input or output displays its status.
• At times you will be asked to turn on NEXSYS II-E outputs if the unit is in test mode. To turn
on a specific output click the button beside it. For example the following is “SCR” output and
the LED will be lit when the output is energized:
• When instructed to turn the output off, click the button “OFF”.

955 In the next step set the unit up for more effective DB testing (i.e. with a load). For the most
effective testing set up another locomotive to push the test unit while it is in DB. If another unit is
not available, DB can still be effectively tested using the train to brake a moving train. Barring
both of these, test DB by braking the unit alone by moving down a grade.
956 Apply the dynamic braking in the higher braking effort situation.
Confirm the braking effort varies when the 24T handle is in different positions.
Confirm the main generator current (traction motor field current) is regulated at 540A
(+/- 10A) with the throttle handle in the maximum position.
Confirm the grid current is limited at 600A (+/- 10A).
Confirm the excitation cuts back to compensate for any wheel slide.
957 When in full DB, ensure that the grids do not go over 600 amps (grid protection is
working).
958 Check operation of locomotive with TMCO in each position.

2. Dynamic brakes
3. Throttle, engine speeds and loading
4. Headlight MU control
Set the units up so that the test unit is in trailing position and repeat the test with the test locomotive
connected at both ends.
960 Back to Back testing Proceedure
961 Back to back testing is intended to test specific components and circuits of the locomotives under
stress or over stress conditions on real road environment.
The following components will be under observation.
• Traction motors and their associated systems

• Couplers, drafts gears and bumpers.
• Wheel slip system and sanding system.
• Dynamic brake system.
• Bogie components
• Air brake system.
962 Set up for Road Test (Back to Back)
The two locomotives will be coupled together in the “lead” arrangement and will operate
independently with one driver in each one, communicating by radio.
The locomotive in the front will be the Leader and in the Second Unit the driver will follow
instructions from the Leader.
Electrical and air connections between the two locomotives will be isolated, therefore it is

important that the second driver executes the instructions of the first driver (leader) particularly
during simultaneous traction on throttle positions.
Locomotive Number 1 will execute most of its work in traction mode whereas Number 2 will
operate in traction, dynamic brake or air brake modes.
Should any test be aborted because results are not those expected it has to be repeated until the
drivers get synchronized.
963 Test Number 1
Air brake system retention in Karadj shop facilities.
Locomotive No. 1 – in traction mode and locomotive No. 2 – on idle.
Locomotive No. 2 – full brake application of automatic brake (B.C. pressure 50 to 60 psi).
Locomotive No. 1 – pass to throttle one and locomotives must not move. Ammeter marks 350 to
400 amperes on locomotive No. 1. Stop after 10 seconds. Pass to idle.
Locomotive No. 1 – full brake application on automatic brake. Locomotive No. 2 remains as
before. (B.C. pressure. 50 to 60 psi)
Locomotive No. 1 – pass idle to throttle 1 and 2. Observe ammeter loading up to 600 amperes.
Locomotives cannot move. Do not stay in throttle 2 more than 10 seconds, it over stresses the
traction motors on locomotive No. 1.
Locomotive No. 1 – return to idle.
Repeat the process but now locomotive No. 2 is the pusher and locomotive No. 1 is in air braking
mode. This test confirms air brake system retention and warms up the traction motors. Attention
for amperages above 600 amperes on throttle 2. If throttle 2 does not get 600 amperes try throttle
3.
964 Test No. 2
Coupler and bumper stress test (in Karadj shop facilities)
Both locomotives in traction mode and independent brake fully applied (45 psi B.C. pressure).
Locomotive No. 1 reverser in forward and locomotive No. 2 in reverse. The two locomotives will
try to separate from each other.
Both locomotives pass to throttle 1, maintaining brakes applied.
Both locomotives move independent brake slowly to release in increments of 10 psi and observe
ammeter readings around 350 to 400 amperes.
If locomotives move to one or other side apply independent brakes again to stop the movement.
Repeat the test releasing independent brake.
Observe wheel slip light, it should not flash in any locomotive when independent brake shows
B.C. pressure below 10 psi. Stop test after 10 to 15 seconds stress.
Both locomotives in traction mode with independent brake fully applied (45 psi B.C.).

5/20/2004 - 4:49 PM
Locomotive No. 1 in reverse and locomotive No. 2 in forward. The two locomotives compress
against each other.
Move idle on both locomotives to throttle 1 and slowly decrease B.C. pressure moving in steps
the independent brake. The locomotives must not move. If they try to move, apply independent
brake slowly again. The wheel slip light must not flash in both locomotives. Ammeters should
read between 350 to 400 amperes.
Continue testing for 10 to 15 seconds in steady condition with independent brake released or
partly applied showing maximum B.C. pressure of 10 psi and no signs of “wheel slip” light
flashing. Stop the test, moving throttles to idle.
Inspect couplers draft gears and bumpers for signs of over stress, cracks or deformations.
965 Test Number 3
Back-to-back on the road (outside of Karadj facilities) traction and dynamic brake actuation.
Take locomotives to next station and recheck leaks or any occurrence during previous tests. The
locomotives must be equipped with speedometers calibrated within 2 kms/hr tolerance.
Start moving both locomotives in traction synchronizing throttles so that throttle 1, throttle 2 etc.
occur at the same time. The “leader” driver on locomotive No. 1 instructs his colleague about the
next positions. Radio communications between drivers is a must.
Note: this operation is similar to tests made on heavy trains with locomotive consists in the middle
of the train.
Locomotive No. 1 and locomotive No. 2 - synchronise speedometers to read the same speed all
the time at the same throttles. Accelerate locomotives up to throttle no. 5 at around 40 to 50
km/hr (exceptionally up to 65 km/hr) in very short duration.
At approximately 50 km/hr locomotive No. 2 passes to idle and moves controls to dynamic brake.
Locomotive No. 2 – actuate dynamic brake slowly and speed of locomotives decreases to around
40 km/hr. Locomotive no. 1 – increase throttle in order to maintain speed between 40 to 45
km/hr.
Locomotive no. 2 – keep moving dynamic brake slowly and speed of locomotives decreases to
around 40 km/hr. Locomotive No. 1 – increase throttle in order to maintain speed between 40 to
50 km/hr.
Locomotive No. 2 – ammeters must show between 550 to 590 amperes in dynamic brake and
locomotive No. 1 must show between 650 to 700 amperes in traction steady for some minutes (5
to 10 minutes maximum).
Locomotive No. 1 – apply independent brakes slowly in increments of 10 psi and stop at each
increment.
Locomotive No. 2 – maintains dynamic brake fully applied at 550 to 590 amperes. The resistance
to the road increases and locomotive No. 1 ammeter in traction passes to the “red band”.
Register the speed of locomotives at the “red band” and maintain such situation for 2 to 3
minutes maximum. At the “red band” the ammeter must register on locomotive No. 1 in traction
around 850 to 900 amperes or a little more and the speed in the speedometer must be between 38
and 42 km/hr. The wheel slip light must not flash, or temporarily for few seconds it can flash and
goes off without any interference from the driver.

Sign Off:_____________________
5/20/2004 - 4:49 PM
Reaching 2 to 3 minutes at steady readings, according to item 3.8 locomotive No. 1 releases
independent brakes (or bail off to quickly release brake cylinder pressure) and note ammeter to
return to the range of 650 to 700 amperes (outside of the red band).
Repeat the test along the route 3 to 4 times and confirm/register reading on instruments of both
locomotives.
Arriving to the terminal point of the test, the locomotives will be switched and now locomotive
No. 2 will be the leader and No. 1 will be resistant load unit.
In reverse situation back to Karadj, the test described from 3.1 thru 3.10 will be repeated in the
same conditions.
Note: before switching locomotives a temperature check (with a laser thermometer) must be done
at all support bearings (check at the cap’s surface) and journal boxes on both locomotives. If any
temperature is found above 100 degrees Celsius, the cause must be investigated prior to
continuation of the test. Normal expected temperature should be 50 to 55 degrees Celsius.
966 Locomotive Inspections
After the road test as described before, both locomotives will be checked for leaks of fluids inside
of the engine room and fixed accordingly.
Bogie components and coupler components must be checked for any abnormal cracks or bends.
Brake shoes must be analyzed (gap to the wheel must be equal in all shoes in release position).
Any excessive wear observed must be reported.
With locomotives stationed at the pit, the traction motors must be inspected underneath for leaks
of grease through the gear cases or oil from the wick lubricators. With a torque meter recheck
torque on traction motor support bearing caps. If the wires that maintain the bolts tight are found
stressed, the bolts must be changed immediately. The T/M cap bolts when un-tightened by torque
meter cannot show less than 1100 foot pound torque.
Inspect electrical cables, connections of traction motors for any loose end or any signs connection
deteriorated. All cables, lugs, connections etc. must be exactly in the same condition as before
testing and any signs contrary to this condition must be reported immediately.
Take another laser thermometer reading in all support bearings before they get cold (expected
temperatures not above 60 degrees C).
967 After the re-inspection is done, one of the locomotives at the choice of the user is ready for the
final preparation for delivery. (The second locomotive remains for next road tests).
This includes a list of the following:
968 Detailed checklist of items missing to be installed, including all small details concerned with
driver comfort.
969
Final reports with tests must be filled in and signed by Karadj management and put on locomotive
file to be delivered to the user when the locomotive is delivered. This report must clearly show
which items need to be replaced later due to deficient operation or lack of parts to fix them.
970 Repair any defects noted on Road Test.
