Portable Automatic Railroad Wheel Slip Slide Tester
INTRODUCTION
The Portable Automatic Railroad Wheel Slip Slide Tester
is a microprocessor-controlled tester designed to
automatically perform GO/NO-GO and diagnostic tests on
the General Electric 17FL54D1 & 17FL22A1 Wheel Slip
Slide Control Panels. The tester receives its operating
power from the Wheel Slip Panel test connector. The
tester is lightweight, rugged, simple to operate and
designed for use without the need for training.
The click of a toggle switch is all that is required to
“Power up” in Automatic Mode and begin the test
sequence. The tester will then automatically conduct a
series of self-tests and identify the Wheel Slip Panel it is
connected to. At this point, a sequence of 30 individual
functional tests will be performed within two (2) minutes.
The functional sequence includes the following tests:
Train Battery Voltage, Regulator Voltage, Axle Sensor
Resistance, 21/17 Wheel Slip Frequency Combinations,
Synchronous Slip and Speed Function Tests. At the
completion of the test sequence, if all tests passed, a
“System Passed” message will appear on the liquid
crystal display. A blinking “System Failed” message will
appear if a single test failed during the functional test
sequence.
The tester is equipped with a manual mode that allows
the operator to “one-step” through the entire test sequence.
This capability is used for troubleshooting
cards, components and intermittent problems.
