È possibile monitorare il sistema frenante grazie ai manometri presenti in cabina.
Il serbatoio principale viene alimentato sino a 8 bar in modo automatico dal compressore.
Reading of the main reservoir should always be near 8 bar, as it is automatically refilled by the compressor.
Brake pipe operating pressures are between 3.5 bar when the brake is fully applied and 5 bar when it is fully released. Brake pipe pressure is usually represented by a black or white needle on the brake pipe gauge.
Brake cylinder pressure goes between 0 and 3.75 bar and represents the actual braking force applied to the wheels. Brake cylinder pressure is usually represented by a red needle on the brake pipe gauge.
Since gauges display pressures relative to the atmospheric pressure, the actual absolute pressures are approximately 1 bar higher than what's indicated on the gauge and used in technical documentation.
To help improve visibility of brake cylinder reading, there is a gadget called Brake Cylinder LED Bar, which can be bought in one of the shops.
