Page 9 Safety Precautions GEJ–6915 WARNINGS: (Cont’d) In an EMERGENCY situation, when operating as a single unit or part of a multi–unit consist (locomotives only), moving the INDEPENDENT Brake Handle to FULL APPLICATION is the fastest way to develop brake cylinder pres- sure on the unit/consist up to the full independent brake cylinder pressure setting.
Page 10 Safety Precautions GEJ–6915 OPERATION When the locomotive is in an AESS shut down condition, certain actions will deactivate the AESS system and require a manual engine start. If this happens, either start the diesel engine manually or shut down the loco- motive according to Railroad Operating Procedures and open the battery switch.

Locomotive Systems Integration (LSI) The Consolidated Control Architecture system utilizes Locomotive Systems Integration (LSI) industry standard for locomotive control interface. LSI is used to integrate third party systems into the GE control system. EVENT RECORDER SYSTEM The Event Recorder System (ERS) records various parameters related to locomotive status and operation. The Event Recorder (ER) can store up to 72 hours of recorded data.
Page 18: End-Of-Train System
Introduction GEJ–6915 END–OF–TRAIN SYSTEM The End–of–Train system provides a means of monitoring brake pipe pressure on the last car of the train. In two– way configuration, EOT can also vent the brake pipe on the last car during an emergency brake application. The EOT system can be configured for a one–way or a two–way operation.

Page 123 GEJ–6915 Switches NOTE: If the Dynamic Brake Switch is in the cut–out position, upon request for Dynamic Brake, the control will drop power to IDLE. Follow Railroad Regulations governing use of this switch. 2. Pressing key position F2 (Locked Axle) will order the locomotive control system to cut–out the Locked Axle Alarm function.
Page 124: Dynamic Brake Cut-Out Switch Function
GEJ–6915 Switches NOTE: For Speed Sensor cut–out, note the following: 1. Speed sensors do not need to be cut out on cut–out motors. 2. Speed sensor switches are to be used only to cut out faulty sensors; however, ensure that the sensor is at fault and not that it is indicating a locked axle or excessive wheel slip, etc.
Page 125 GEJ–6915 Switches Power Limit Switch This switch (8) has two positions, NORMAL (OFF) and NOTCH 7 (ON). When the locomotive consist is in Notch 8 and the lead unit is slipping excessively, the Power Limit switch can be moved to NOTCH 7 to reduce power while the trailing units are operating at full power.
