Manual del automotor Impuls 2

[jmluengor]

Pongo a disposición de los aficionados hispanohablantes el manual en español de este moderno automotor. Lamentablemente, no he sido capaz de dar con la clave para circular en doble composición con él tras haberlo acoplado. Quizá alguien lo consiga y, cuando así sea, lo reeditaré y pondré a vuestra disposición.

Acabo de actualizar este manual porque olvidé añadir el apartado relacionado con el cambio de cabina cuando conducimos una composición doble. Esto es algo que hace falta conocer para efectuar algunas actividades en las que seleccionamos 2 x 36Wed Impuls 2. Perdonad la omisión.

Gracias por compartir este manual, y el resto de los diferentes hilos.

"(...) Es posible acoplar dos automotores Impuls 2 para circular en mando múltiple, pero no es posible que ambos vehículos
funcionen sincronizados como un único vehículo a la hora de acelerar o frenar. (...)"

It is possible to connect two Impuls 2 units so that both units operate synchronously as one unit during acceleration or braking:

After coupling, the Quick Disconnector (Disyuntor) in the second EMU (the one being coupled) almost always automatically deactivates. It must be reactivated:

And in the second EMU (the one being coupled) almost always a red icon and the message "Runaway movement" ("Deslizamlento") appear:

 

The brakes are then locked and the train cannot move (Maneta 0% and Potencia -98%). The graphic below shows the first EMU, but in the second EMU it looks identical.

You must clear this message to release the brakes on the second unit. To do this, click the field with the Driver ID, then click the same field labeled Level SHP in the next step. The yellow ETCS button on the pulpit will start flashing. Click it (or press Shift+Spacebar). This will release the brakes on the second unit.

When changing direction and cabins in a double Impuls 2, it is important that the pantograph selection switch on the rear wall of the cabin is set to "0" in both rear cabins (looking in the direction of travel) of each EMU. In both front cabins, it should be set to "2" (rear). This is important to remember when shunting, because when changing direction, the rear cabs become the front cabs, and the front cabs become the rear cabs. When changing direction, you must enter each of the four cabs to adjust the pantograph selection knob. And in each of the three inactive cabs, the Power and brake handle (the left one) must be set to "0%" and the Service brake handle (the right one) must be set to the "Drive" position.

One more important thing to note about using cruise control: it's probably a model error in the simulation, but with a dual Impuls 2 EMU, the cruise controls in each unit operate independently!

Example: You have to enter a platform and use cruise control set to 25 km/h. Next, you need to change direction, pick up passengers, and head out onto the track at, say, 100 km/h, also with cruise control. If, before changing direction, you forget to turn off the cruise control in the cab where you entered the platform, leave it on at 25 km/h, then move to the second EMU and set the cruise control to 100 km/h in the new cab, you won't be able to accelerate faster than about 35-45 km/h. The electric current in the first EMU will increase, but the electric current in the second EMU will decrease and reach negative values. The first EMU will try to accelerate to 100 km/h, while the second EMU will try to maintain 25 km/h 🙃

If you're using cruise control while driving a dual-mode Impuls 2 EMU, remember to always turn off the cruise control in the cab you're leaving before changing cabins!

This afternoon I will follow your instructions step by step and will share the results later. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.
