DESCRIPTION
FAULT CODE
1136
FAULT MESSAGE BKT Stuck in Motoring. Run Auto/Manual Test
Can't Brake: Electrical Control Problem
RESTRICTIONS
Dynamic Brake Prohibited
ALARM BELL
5 Sec.
RESET LEVEL
Low, Manual
After manual reset if the fault still present, the fault will be generated
again.
FAULT
RECOVERY
Automatic when BKT stuck is cleared
PROBABLE
CAUSES
1. BKT not operating physically to braking side.
2. BKT not operating to braking side due to magnet valve defective.
3. BKT not operating to braking side due to no supply to magnet
valve.
FAULT
ISOLATION
1. Check and adjust control air pressure to 5Kgs./Sq.Cm.
2. Manually operate BKT magnet valves to change the BKT position
between braking and motoring.
3. BKT contacts should change their position freely with out any
obstruction. Ensure the status of the Green LEDs 12 & 13 on the
digital input card MDIP16 in slot no.10 toggles with respect to BKT
position.
4. If the BKT is not changing its position with manual operation of
magnet valves:
A. Check the Air hose connection to magnet valve. If air is leaking
or the pipe is blocked, change the air hose connection.
B. Press the armature plate of the magnet valve and check for any
Air leaking from the Air cylinder gasket / piston packing. If air is
leaking, change the gasket / piston packing.
C. Check free operation of Paul assembly by operating the BKT
with ‘L’ rod. If the BKT is not operating with normal force
change the pawl assembly.
5. If the BKT is operating manually, set the BKT in motoring position
by manually operating the magnet valve.
6. Set the display mode to ‘Manual Test for Outputs’ under ‘Test Mode’
menu.
A. Enter 10 and press ‘Enter’ key to test the BKT braking Magnet
valve.
B. Press ‘1’ key to operate the BKT-B magnet valve.
7. If the BKT is not operating to braking side:
A. Check the voltage at the magnet valve coil terminals.
B. If voltage is more than 65 V, operating coil of the magnet valve
is defective. Replace the magnet valve.
C. If the voltage is zero, check the voltage at magnet valve coil
terminal (wire No. 13) with respective to locomotive 4 wire.
a) If the voltage is zero, check the continuity of 13-wire loop
connected to magnet valve. If necessary replace the open
circuited / wrong wiring.
b) If the voltage is more than 60 V, check the voltage at magnet
valve coil terminal (wire No. BKBCL) with respect to
locomotive 50 wire.
1) If the voltage is zero, then the connector at MEP-660 is
