I am interested in taking the upcoming Signal Maintainer exam #2600. Filing is September 7-27. I wanted to prepare myself for the exam ahead of time in the event that I do get called to take the test. Does anyone how to prepare for this exam? Is there a study guide or book that you could prepare from? A couple of years ago I took a test for a electrical helper position. While waiting on line on the test day, I saw a lot of people reading a book that was preparing them for the exact same test we were about to take.
If anyone knows where I can get something like this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks from before. Hi, could anyone describe the works as a signal maintainer a little bit? I am an electronic technician not an electrician, so I wonder if the signal maintainer's works tend to be electronics or electrical? I am not in signals, but I have a very passing knowledge of the signal system. I can tell you that the vast majority of the system is electrical.
I don't know if maintainers need a special qualification on CBTC signaling (which is electronic.and currently only on the L line) or if that's considered something they learn later. Electrical relays will be your bread and butter. I think you are right about the relays, I heard that there are many relay rooms in the system, there must be a lot of relays.
Also I heard about the CBCT, wish I will have the opportunity to working on that system. Even the electronics and electrical are under the same theories but in practice they involved different components. I guess in this case, the test will be heavier in electrical end. Since the system uses a lot of relays, I think I better get familiar with the ladder diagrams, it can be tricky for me sometimes. I wonder if I should spend some time to review the PLC too. Happy New Year!
I have received the letter for the exam location, date and time. After I looked in the Passbook from NLC I realized that most of the questions in the book are subway signal related questions.
So I wonder if anyone, who actually took the test before, could tell me if that is what I should expect in the test? 2017 fiesta st owners manual. From what I understand, the test will be electrical knowledge, proper use of tools, related math, safety, etc. Nothing related to the actual specifics of the signaling system. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I too will be taking the test January 21st.
Very true.u took yours downtown brooklyn right? Yeah, on the 21st of last month.
They only had three testing days. The 21st was for our test as well as a promotion to signal maintainer test. Than according to the answer keys they had the Sabbath testing date of the 23rd of last month and a make up date of the 23rd of this month. If you remember the test, you will recall that there were three tables to return your test too. Numbers 1-100 for table one, 101-200 for table two, than 201-300 for table three.
And I can't imagine that there were more than that for the Sabbath or Make up day tests. Hopefully it will be a short list.
