Braking in the 245
Verfasst: 02.06.2021 22:09:17
Hi
What is the correct way to brake the 245?
For what i've seen, the brake has 3 positions.
0-being the spring loaded release
1-release
2-hold
3-brake
However, when I try to use the brake, the behaviour is super strange.
Clicking the + key, 1st click, nothing happens, 2nd click, same, nothing happens. Then at the 3rd click, pressure starts dropping from 5bar. However, returning the handle to the previous position does not hold the value. At that position, the value returns slowly to 5 bar.
What that means is that, to get any sort of braking, then I have to be pumping it back and forth to hold the value.
Another strange thing, is that the brake pipe pressure flies up to 5 bar and it's moving up and down all over the place while i'm using the brake.
On my view, It should be, at the 3rd position, let the pressure drop to set the value, 4.1; 4.5; or whatever I desire, then click the - sign to have it on the hold position and keep that value. Then use the - or + to regulate the pressure value.
As it is, I keep on getting ''hard stops'' or overshooting the signals...
Am I doing something wrong or is it a known bug?
