Conventional AC Operation
Speed Control
When using conventional AC power, the engine will respond to changes in track
voltage. An increase in track voltage will increase the locomotive speed and a
reduction in track voltage will reduce the engine speed.
(see pages 31-33 for specifics on the Marklin controller)
When power is first applied to the track, the locomotive will be silent for 1-20
seconds and the headlight will be on, indicating the super capacitors are charging
(The super capacitors provide power to the sound system during direction changes
or intermittent drops in track power due to dirty track
switches, when
operating in conventional mode). When the super capacitors are charged, all the
lights will come on and the engine sounds will start up.
There should be no movement, turning the throttle knob on the transformer
counterclockwise past zero and quickly back up again will bring the engine to a
forward motion state, then increasing the throttle will begin to move the engine
forward, and speed will increase as the throttle is advanced. To change direction,
turn the throttle knob on the transformer counterclockwise past zero and quickly
back up again. Then adjust the throttle knob to control the speed of the
locomotive.
