The process of reviving this electric locomotive is identical to that of the EU07 / EP07 locomotive.
- Make sure you are in cab A. Open the hatch on the left side of the control panel and switch on the battery.
- The battery voltmeter will read approximately 90 volts. The SHP test (automatic safety braking device) will activate. To use it, you must turn the directional lever (blue highlighted) to the forward or reverse position and press the vigilance button.
- Turn the cab activation key - right.
- Turning off the batteries will activate the differential relay. Hold the unlock key until the signal light goes out. If it does not work, check that the power control wheel and shunt control lever are in the zero position.
- Raise the pantographs. Wait for voltage to appear on voltmeter, approximately 3 kV.
- Turn on the main switch. If it does not operate, check that none of the overload relays are active and that the main line pressure is greater than 0.35 MPa.
- Turn on the converter (blue highlighted). Wait for the charging current to stabilize (yellow highlighted).
- Switch on the compressor (blue highlighted). Wait for the main tank to fill. Watch the right gauge.
- Turn on the radio and select the desired radio channel.
- Set the train brake lever to the drive or fill position. Hold the release button (blue highlighted left) until the main line pressure reaches 0.5 MPa. Observe the centre pressure gauge.
- Make sure the hand brakes in both cabs have been released. You should see a yellow label in the window that reads "LUZ".
- Release the locomotive brake. Wait for the cylinder pressure to drop to 0 MPa.
- Turn the drive control wheel to position ONE. Wait for the brakes to apply (blue signal light goes out) and the starting circuits to close (orange signal light comes on and current appears on the ammeter).
- Proceed as quickly as possible through the starting resistor positions and try to drive at positions 0, 28 and 43. Then the traction motors will pass all the current. Keep an eye on the ammeters so you don't exceed 600 amps. On the non-resistance positions you can increase the speed by starting the shunt with the shift handle. Beyond position 28 you can go up to 1200A
- To brake, turn both the control wheel and the shunting handle to zero and pull the train brake handle towards you. Depending on the desired braking force, relieve 0.05-0.2 MPa of pressure from the main line. Observe the middle pressure gauge. The left one shows only the pressure in the locomotive brake cylinders [2].
Locomotive malfunctions
- Alarm/SHP on. Press the vigilance button. If both systems are activated simultaneously, it must be pressed twice. If there is insufficient response to visual and audible warning, emergency braking is activated. If the main line pressure has been successfully reduced below 0.35 MPa, you must set the service brake handle to the drive or fill position and hold the release button until the pressure rises to 0.5 MPa.náhled|EP07 - ignoring SHP|střed
