will not light at all. When making up a train with different Helper types, it
is recommended that you also change its directional sense if the Helper
is intended to be operated backwards within the consist. See “Option 4
Direction”, Analog Programming, next section.
Additional Analog Operation
Your Quantum steam locomotive is equipped with our new QARC™
(Quantum Analog Remote Control) Technology, which uses special remote
control signals to operate different Quantum features without the need
for complicated and expensive digital systems like DCC. With QARC
technology, you can operate features that are otherwise available only in
DCC plus features that are not yet available in DCC. QARC will allow you
to: 1) turn on or off lights, 2) shut down and start up locomotives, 3) make
up consists easily, 4) simplify Analog programming, 5) set System Volume
or Mute while train is operating, 6) trigger Coupler Crash sounds, 7)
operate prototype-like Air Brakes, 8) turn on Dynamic Brakes, 9) activate
Status Report or Verbal Speedometer Readout, and operate many other
features. The QARC System makes Analog operation more fun and more
prototypical than DCC by eliminating the need to configure function keys.
Every button on QARC controllers does exactly what it says. The only
major difference between QARC and DCC is that you are not able to
independently operate multiple trains on the same powered track section
at different speeds at the same time.
The QARC controller, called Quantum Engineer, can be added to your
existing Analog power pack. Wiring is simple: two wires go the variable
DC output from the power pack and two wires go to the track. All features
on the power pack remain the same including throttle and reverse switch
control. See
