Odyssey System operations
Activating the Odyssey System in the conventional environment
F
ollow these steps to activate your locomotive’s speed control in the conventional
environment.
1. Slide the Odyssey switch to the ODY position. Refer to Figure 1 on page 7 for the location of
the switch.
2. Run the locomotive at the desired speed for approximately five seconds.
3. Press and hold the
HORN
button on the transformer.
4. While holding the
HORN
button, increase the track voltage by at least three volts (at least a
quarter turn).
The locomotive’s speed will increase before returning to the initial speed. At this point, speed
control is set. Increasing the throttle will not increase the speed of the locomotive; however,
decreasing the throttle will decrease the speed of the locomotive.
You may notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer’s throttle and the
change in your locomotive’s speed as the Odyssey System works to regulate the
voltage to the motor. If you desire instantaneous response to throttle changes, turn
off the Odyssey System.
In the conventional environment, the lights in the locomotive are connected
directly to track power. To prolong the life of your lamps, do not exceed 14 to 16
volts for extended periods.
