00:00...to delete the entry and enter the correct number.
00:06Press F7 to save the ID number.
00:10F6 tests the communications link with the EOT.
00:16When the rear-end device's test button is pressed,
00:19ARM now appears.
00:23You should immediately press ARM F7 to arm the device.
00:30Pressing the rear-end device's test button also starts the test sequence.
00:38The software revision, battery status, and brake pipe pressure will be displayed.
00:44When the system is armed, the operator can vent the brake pipe from the rear of the train
00:49by moving the EOT emergency toggle switch on the console to the open position.
00:56Entering and saving all zeros as the EOT number or pressing F7 disarms the EOT.
01:03F8, exit, returns you to the top operating display screen.
01:08Each display's distance counter is set up from the main menu by pressing the F4 key.
01:25The display changes, and F4 allows you to set a specific length.
01:33Use the bottom row of keys to enter the desired number.
01:37If you make a mistake, use F4 backspace to erase the last digit.
01:42F6 toggles between count up and count down.
01:45F7 save preset saves the new length and returns you to the top distance counter setup screen.
01:52To leave this area without saving any changes, press cancel F8 to return to the top distance counter screen.
02:01When you have entered and saved the proper distance,
02:03F4 on the main operating display begins counting in feet the distance traveled.
02:08When the distance counter preset is set at zero and count up is selected,
02:12the distance counter counts up from zero.
02:15Press F8, exit, to return to the main operating screen
02:19from which pressing F4, distance start, starts the countdown,
02:25or count up of the distance counter.
02:27To access speed control and power reduction features,
02:43you must press F5 from the main menu of the operating display.
02:48Two additional menu choices appear.
02:51They are slow speed and power reduction.
02:54Slow speed allows you to set the slow speed control.
03:00Power reduction provides access to the manual power reduction mode.
03:06We'll begin with a look at how to set the slow speed control.
03:11The 5 key changes the display to the slow speed control screen,
03:16from which you can toggle the slow speed and plug mode off and on.
03:20Raise and lower the target speed by pressing or by pressing and holding the keys.
03:26And make the current speed the target speed.
03:32Pressing the 4 key, enter new target, allows you to set the target speed.
03:38Use the bottom row of keys to enter the desired speed.
03:42Two keys on the top row may be used when needed.
03:46They are the decimal point key and the backspace key.
03:49F7, save target, saves the new target speed.
03:55Pressing F8 returns you to the previous screen without saving any changes.
04:01This time we'll select power reduction from the speed control screen.
04:07The manual power reduction options are now available.
04:10Use the F5 and F6 keys to raise and lower the combined power handle load response
04:27referred to on the display as notch power percentage.
04:32You may hold these keys or repeatedly press them to adjust the percentage.
04:37In this mode, the operator has control of the load.
04:43Press F8 to exit.
04:45Like most of the setup areas, the screen controls display is accessed from the main menu by pressing the 7 key.
05:03Use the F2 and F3 keys to choose the location where the gauges will be displayed.
05:15F6 and F7 change the brightness level of the screen.
05:19Let's take a look at some of the menu selections on the top row.
05:25These are accessed through the top row of keys.
05:29Lead sand, which is always available, provides sand to the lead axle depending on the direction the unit is traveling.
05:36Train line sand, which is available below 12 miles per hour, sends a request for sand from all of the locomotives in the consist.
05:46The following applies to either sand button.
05:50Each press gives you 30 seconds of sanding.
05:54You have a maximum of three sequential presses while moving.
05:58When you are not moving, each press gives you 10 seconds of sanding.
06:05That minimizes sand usage around terminals.
06:09In emergency, while moving, you have 60 seconds of sanding.
06:14Even with all of your sanding options, it is always better to allow the system to determine when to apply sand.
06:21Let's take a look at where another important menu selection takes you.
06:29From the main operating display, F5, switches, accesses the switches screen.
06:36The menu choices change, and the F1 and F2 keys control the on-screen switches.
06:44The dynamic brake cutout switch cuts out dynamic braking on this locomotive.
06:49When in lead, train line signals will continue to be sent to other units in the consist.
06:57The locked axle cutout switch cuts out the locked axle alarm.
07:02Wheel slip protection is still active.
07:07Motor cutouts, F7, changes the display to the motor and speed sensor cutouts.
07:14From the top, the display includes the motor number.
07:17The motor and speed sensor cutout switches.
07:21The motor status lights, and the motor cutout switches.
07:26Pressing a key in the top row, for example, F1, SSCO1 cutout, will cut out the number one traction motor and its speed sensor.
07:36The display changes as the top toggle switch in the motor and speed sensor cutout row moves down,
07:44and the number one traction motor's status light goes out.
07:50Pressing the 2 key, TMCO2 cuts out the number two traction motor.
07:55This time, the toggle for the affected traction motor moves to cutout in the motor cutout row.
08:03As before, the traction motor's status light goes out.
08:08In either case, the traction motor will not be powered.
08:13Warning, when the speed sensor is cutout, locked axle alarm protection is no longer available for that motor.
08:26Most of the setup areas may be accessed from the main menu on the locomotive operating display.
08:32We're going to examine an area that can only be accessed through an MMI display,
08:38typically, the engineer's left display, or the crew member's display.
08:44Pressing F8, loco monitor from the main MMI or crew member's display,
08:49or F2 from any monitor screen, brings up the locomotive monitor display.
08:56Starting at the top left of the screen, there are graphically displayed gauges of water temperature.
09:02Lube oil temperature, alternator volts, alternator amps, and field amps.
09:09Additional information is available in the center of the screen.
09:14Of particular interest to the operator is this box located to the right.
09:19Here, GE's individual axle control allows you to monitor each axle for speed and load.
09:26On this display, as on all of the monitor screens,
09:30the F1 key freezes the display to make it easier to read a value that may be fluctuating.
09:37Pressing F1 again resumes the normal screen update function.
09:43When finished viewing the monitor screens, simply select Exit F8.
09:48The GE AC-6000 will always be the leader with tomorrow's technology today
09:58and the ability to incorporate the technology of the future tomorrow.
