4.2.5 OCU Assignment Procedure – Register OCU with Locomotive
• The “COMMAND/STATUS” screen is used
to initiate the assignment process.
o Before initiating, align the IR ports
of the OCU and receiver so they
can see each other. The OCU
should be held between 6” to 18”
from the RCU.
• Push “F1” button to start the assignment
process.
• During the data exchange, information will
be displayed in the HMI “Status” field. The
assignment process takes about 2-3
seconds. It can take longer if the operator
is moving or does not have good IR Port
alignment. The system will continue to
attempt the assignment until a timeout
occurs (30 seconds).
• The OCU A and B indications will flash
and the display will show status
information during IR communications.
• If the assignment process is unsuccessful,
the system will cancel the command and
display one of several messages. Be sure
both IR ports are not obstructed and are
clean.
o The operator can restart by simply
pressing <F1> again.
o The operator can cancel the
assignment process by pressing
the “Cancel”, <F3>, command.
• The OCU will also signal assignment
failure with two beeps to indicate an error was detected. The display will show the type of
error.
o IF the error is a communications error the assignment can be attempted again.
o IF the error is due to a configuration problem then other measures maybe required.
For example a configuration error might be the operator is attempting to register a
Lightweight OCU Model SPEED with a Train Chief® II controller configured for a
Lightweight OCU Model THROTTLE / BRAKE. The RCU will not allow this
