Guidelines To Crew To Attend Enroute Airbrake System Failure in LHB Coaches
1. Leakage in CDTS line- if there is any leakage in CDTS retention tank pressure pipe
connection or leakage in main line of CDTS system isolate the CDTS system from brake
panel by isolating cock provided in brake panel .

3 To put right Passenger Emergency Alarm Signalling Device (PEASD) of the coach,
identify the location inside the coach from where alarm chain is pulled. The PEASD
Pull Handle may be seen dislocated from its position (as shown in figure 2).
4 Insert the resetting key in slot and turn it in clockwise direction. PEASD Pull Handle
will move upward in its proper position and air pressure leakage through the PEV
will stop.
5 In case of defect in PEASD or for any other reason if it is not possible to reset the
device from inside the coach, the same can be isolated by isolation cock fitted near
the PEV.

SLR and brakes are released.
4. Procedure to release and isolate brake binding in LHB coach with FIAT bogie trolley
If released-
Isolate DV by lifting handle
upward and tie with wire.
Isolate FP connection to AR
isolating cock fitted in Brake
panel & drain AR
If not released- Air Brake Panel of KBI
Rotate the isolation cock of the
affected bogie provided on the
brake panel in anti-clockwise

If not released
Open flexible pipe of B.C line of
affected wheel set having brake
binding.
Loosen the hexagonal nut of the brake cylinder by 27 no. or 46 no. spanner. Check that the
brakes are released by shaking the callipers and work the train. If not released, remove the
brake calliper pivot pin of affected cylinder
