COUPLERS

4.1

General

4.1.1

Couplers provide energy absorption capabilities in the event of a collision.

The energy absorption capacity of the couplers is an integral part of the
overall crash energy management system and is designed to remain an
effective component for collision speeds up to 55 km/h. There are two
different types of couplers installed on the sets:
a. Auto Coupler located at both ends of the Set
b. Semi Permanent Coupler located between the cars.

4.1.2

The automatic and semi-permanent couplers incorporate both

regenerative and non regenerative energy absorbing devices in the form
of a gas-hydraulic buffer with up to 250 kJ of energy absorption capacity
and a deformation tube with up to 750 kJ of energy absorption capacity.

4.2

Auto Couplers

4.2.1

The Set is fitted with a Type 10 compatible automatic coupler at each

end. The automatic coupler is complete with mechanical and pneumatic
head, including an uncoupling cylinder, main reservoir pipe (MRP) and
brake pipe (BP). The Set is able to couple mechanically and
pneumatically, but not electrically, with. The automatic coupler is
compatible with mechanical and pneumatic connections on Millennium,
Tangara, Outer Suburban Carriages, Explorer and Endeavour trains, and
via a coupler adapter with hoses for older rolling stock with AAR type
couplers. The automatic coupler consists of the following subassemblies:
a. Coupler head
b. Uncouple device
c.

Air pipe connection w/o valve for Brake Pipe

d. Air pipe connection for main reservoir pipe and uncouple pipe
e. Coupler shank with gas-hydraulic buffer and friction spring
f.

Bearing bracket with integrated overload protection

g. Muff coupling
h. Earth wire

Page: 27

Figure 10 Auto Coupler

4.2.2

Auto Coupler Operation

4.2.2.1

The AUTO Coupler enables automatic coupling of other trains with a

Scharfenberg Type coupler. Coupling of two train sets is achieved without
any manual intervention by driving one set up to a second set. Automatic
coupling is possible both under horizontal and vertical misalignment. The
coupler allows coupled trains to negotiate vertical and horizontal curves and
rotational movements. Mechanical coupling is automatic, based on the
spring-loaded coupling gear as described below. Uncoupling relies on

Semi Permanent Coupler

4.3.1

The semi-permanent couplers are asymmetrical. Temporary support chains

for the semi-permanent half-bar couplers provide self-support in the event of
the cars being coupled or uncoupled.

4.3.2

The Semi Automatic Coupler consists of the following subassemblies:

a. Buff- and draft gear with overload protection device
b. Coupler shank with gas-hydraulic buffer
c.

Bearing bracket

d. Coupler shank with deformation tube

e. Gangway support
f.

Muff coupler

g. Earth wire
4.3.3

Two Semi Permanent Coupler halves are designed to ensure a permanent

connection of the cars.

4.3.4

Semi Permanent Couplers Operation

4.3.4.1

When in operation, two halves form one semi permanent coupler and need
not be separated except for emergencies or maintenance purposes. The
coupler halves are connected by muff couplings thus ensuring a rigid, slackfree and safe connection. The coupler allows coupled trains to negotiate
vertical and horizontal curves and allows rotational movements. The coupler
draft gear ensures cushioning of operational loads in both buff and draft
conditions. Separation of the coupler halves is done manually.

4.3.4.2

The semi permanent coupler provides a gangway support plate. When

uncoupled, it may be necessary to keep the coupler in horizontal position by
means of an additional support device. The Semi Permanent Couplers are of
non-symmetric design. One half carries the gangway support, contains a
gas-hydraulic buffer and is attached to a bearing bracket integrated in the
overload protection device with rear mounted deformation tube. The mating
half contains a conventional deformation tube and is connected to a bearing
bracket that fits the whole pattern of the overload protection assembly.

Master Controller

6.11.1

The main driving control is the Master Controller and this provides full
control over the direction, acceleration and deceleration of the train. It
generates PWM train signals for the basic instructions to the traction and
brake control system and the level of power or deceleration.

6.11.2

The Master Controller is located at the left hand end of the desk so that the
foot space under the desk is open on the right hand side.

6.11.3

The Master Controller provides electrical signals to control the traction

direction and level of acceleration during motoring and retardation during
braking. A pneumatic regulating valve provides automatic brake pipe
control for the shadowing brake. Two pneumatic poppet valves provide
control for the emergency brake and brake pipe isolation.

6.11.4

The Master Controller includes the following components:

a. The Butterfly key switch

Page: 49

b. The reverser handle

c.

The power/brake handle

d. The PWM Potentiometer

e. The brake pressure regulator
f.

g. The isolate valve

h. Electrical Switches (cam-operated)
6.11.5

The Butterfly key switch, reverser handle and power/brake handle are
interlocked by both mechanical and electrical means. The Butterfly key
switches are electrically interlocked, between the Crew control stations on
the train. Operation of the Drivers Butterfly key is trainlined to lock out
the Master Controllers in non-active cabs. The interlocking functions and
technical requirements for each component are described in the following
sections.

Figure 30 Master Controller

6.11.6

Butterfly Key Switch

6.11.6.1

Operation of the controller is enabled by inserting the Butterfly Key into

the key switch. The switch has two positions, OFF & ON. The butterfly key
may be removed for security purposes.

6.11.6.2

The Butterfly Key Switch is mechanically interlocked with the Reverser

Handle to fulfil the following requirements:
a. Insertion of the Butterfly Key into the Key Switch, and moving the
Key clockwise to the ON position, will enable the Reverser to be
moved from the Isolate position.

Page: 50

b. The Butterfly Key cannot be moved (turned anti-clockwise) to the

OFF position unless the Reverser is in the Isolate position (ISOL).
c.

The Reverser cannot be moved from the Isolate position with the
Butterfly Key Switch in the OFF position.

d. Removal of the Butterfly Key is only possible in the OFF position.

6.11.6.3

The Butterfly Key Switch is compatible with the existing SRA butterfly
key.

6.11.6.4

Electrical interlocking is provided on the train to prevent the Master

Controller from being useable except in the active cab. Pneumatically, the
Drivers Brake Isolating Valve (DBIV) is isolated to prevent operation of the
Automatic Brake.
NOTE:

The Drivers Brake Isolating Valve (DBIV) is an EP valve that is

separate to the controller ( The function of the valve is to isolate the air
supply to the controller, commanded by the eTIS, to prevent operation
of the Automatic Brake except in the active cab involved.
6.11.7

Reverser Handle

6.11.7.1

The Reverser Handle provides directional and isolation control and is

mechanically interlocked with the Butterfly Key Switch.

6.11.7.2

The handle has four positions:

a. Isolate (ISOL)
b. Reverse (REV)
c.

Off (OFF)

d. Forward (FOR)
6.11.7.3

Detents are provided at each position.

6.11.7.4

The Reverser Handle is mechanically interlocked with the Power/Brake

Control Handle to fulfil the following requirements:
a. The Reverser Handle cannot be moved from the ISOL or OFF
positions, or between the FOR and REV positions unless the
Power/Brake Control Handle is in the Maximum Brake/Isolate or
Emergency Brake position.
b. Conversely, the Power/Brake Control Handle cannot be moved from
the Maximum Brake position, except to the Emergency Brake
position unless the Reverser Handle is in the Forward or Reverse
position.

6.11.7.5

The Reverser operates cam switch assemblies driven from a horizontal

shaft. These switches provide directional control and interlocking. A poppet
valve, open in Forward, Off and Reverse, and exhausted in Isolate, operates
the Brake Pipe Isolating Valve on the Auxiliary Brake Unit to seal the
brake pipe when the controller is isolated.

Page: 51

6.11.8

Power/Brake Control Handle

6.11.8.1

The power/brake control handle is designed for left-handed operation, with

forward movement providing braking control, and backward movement
providing powering control. The handle can be placed in the following
positions:
a. Emergency Brake (EM)*
b. Maximum Brake/Isolate (MAX)*
c.

Minimum Brake (MIN)*

d. OFF *
e. Minimum Power (MIN)
f.

Maximum Power (MAX)

NOTE:

Positions marked (*) have detents requiring low effort to overcome.

Mechanical stops are provided at the extreme positions of powering
and braking.
6.11.8.2

The Power/Brake Control Handle provides a continuously variable effort

demand between minimum and maximum power and a continuously
variable effort demand between minimum and maximum brake.

6.11.8.3

When the Reverser Handle is in FOR or REV positions, the handgrip must
be twisted anticlockwise 20 (or the OEP depressed) to suppress the
Operator Enable System.

6.11.8.4

The limit between Maximum Brake (MAX) and Emergency Brake (EM)
positions is indicated by a hard detent, preventing unwanted movement into
the EM position.

6.12

Guard Station

6.12.1

The Guards controls are divided between the Guards Station and the Crew
Cab door pillars.

6.12.2

On the desk is the GDU, a touch sensitive display screen, to the left of which

This gauge provides the Crew with a visual reading of the current
Pantograph Pressure. An isolation valve is located in the Wheelchair
Locker to isolate this gauge for maintenance. If this gauge is not showing
the correct pressure, as per the DDU, then this isolation valve should be
checked.

Traction Interlock Bypass

This two position rotary switch (ON/OFF) is used to enable the train to
power overriding the Traction Interlock provided by the Door Open signal.
In the event that the Door Open Signal is False and all doors are securely
closed, the activation of this switch will enable traction power.

6.28.2

DIN Bypass
This two position rotary switch (ON/OFF) is used to bypass the Drivers
Identification Number Sign on in an emergency situation, in the event that
the eTIS screens fails. It enables the system to provide limited power to
return to a maintenance depot. The switch will allow a limited road speed
of 80kph, low acceleration rate and use of the AUTO brakes only.

6.28.3

Emergency Traction
This two position rotary switch (ON/OFF) is used to select:
OFF for normal operation
ON emergency traction to allow notch 1 power to allow the train to
return home in the event the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fails.

6.28.4

Emergency Control Battery

This push button switch is used to link the lighting battery to the control
battery in the event of control battery failure.

6.28.5

Shed Supply
This two position rotary switch (ON/OFF) is used to enable shed supply
(415VAC) connection.

6.28.6

Cleaners Key
This two position key switch (ON/OFF) is used to raise the pantograph to
enable air conditioning, door operation and 240 VAC supply for cleaners.

6.29

Stable Push Button

The Stable Push Button is used to shut down the train to a Stabled State.
In the stabled state, the Set is not in use, the park brake is deployed, all
external doors are isolated, the lights are turned off, and the train is not
connected to the overhead wire.
Generally, sub-systems within each Car do not operate in this state, with
the exception of equipment clocks, train marker lights, cab door controls,
and cab interior lighting controls. The Set will require two minutes to
transition from a prepared (no Crew) state to stabled to allow the subsystems on board to effect an orderly shutdown. With the train stabled, the
auxiliary power sub-system will be able to provide power for changing the
state of the Set to the presentation state.
For approximately 20 minutes after switching the train into the stabled
state, the external step lights will remain illuminated to allow for Crew to
walk alongside of the Set in dark conditions and adequate internal lighting
will remain illuminated to enable a passenger, driver or guard to exit from a
Set.
For approximately 60 minutes after switching the train into the stabled
state, eTIS will be able to exchange data with the Maintenance Facility for
the purpose of:
Video, equipment status or other train information file transfer off the
train; and
Software and train information updates / transfers to the train.
After this time, to conserver power, the electronic systems will be shut down
with the exception of eTIS, which will switch to a low-power sleep mode.

Page: 69

In the stabled state, eTIS will be configured to wake-up on receipt of a call

on the external data interface for the purpose of retrieving video data or
remote maintenance function.
A cleaners key inserted in any driving cab will change the state from
stabled to presentation. This will allow power, door controls, fresh air
ventilation and lighting for cleaning, and return to the stabled state on
completion. Removing the cleaners key will return the Set to the stabled
state.
