GP38/SD40 Locomotive Operating Manual

The alerter is preemptive (you can reset it any time, don't need to wait until alarm is displayed) and

activity based (operating throttle or dynamic brake resets the alerter). The alerter is only active if

train is moving.

Fig. 5 shows the alerter timing. If the driver does not reset the alerter within the time period Ta + Tb

a penalty brake will be launched. Ta = 60 sec, Tb = 25 sec, Td = 15 sec. The alerter can be reset:

a. clicking on the Alerter Reset switch (γ in Fig.1)

b. operating the throttle or dynamic brake

c. pressing alt+space on the keyboard

The alerter resets automatically on complete train stop.

If you are driving in an outside camera mode, you cannot watch the alerter. You will get a warn

message instead.

Canceling of penalty brake:

• Reset alerter

• Set throttle lever to idle position

• Release the train brake

• Wait until the red PCS OPEN lamp goes out . The locomotive power is restored now.

You can enable/disable the alerter in driver module checking the box in View Details window. See

Fig. 8.
