50. I cannot get short horn blasts with my
whistle button.
You horn signal may be weak,
OR, the wrong transformer was selected in RESET
Position #19. Check to see if your QS-2+ is set for the
correct transformer or that it is set for "Auto Select."
(see Section 6, RESET Position #19).
OR, you have enabled Flange Sound effects. Since a
short horn signal is used to turn on the flange sound,
the horn sound is delayed to prevent both happening at
the same time. Go to RESET position #46 and select
"Flanges Off".
OR, the trail off and lead-in to your horn or whistle
may be longer than normal for your particular QS-2+
sound set.
51. When I put my tender cab back on, the
QS-2+ system or QS-2+ converted
ProtoSound system does not make any sound
and/or does not work.
You have not insulated the tender cab and the unit is
shorting to the sides of the metal tender. Insulate the
inside of the tender cab with electrical tape where it
can contact the QS-2+ boards.
OR, you are pinching a wire(s) when you screw the
cab down to the chassis floor.
52. When I arm PFA, nothing happens.
You must put your engine in neutral after arming PFA
to have the feature operate.
OR, you have not enabled PFA. Go to RESET
position #28 and chose "Enabled for PFA".
53. After I arm PFA, I can make the engine
sequence through all the PFA states, but there
is no announcements.
You are not in PFA, you are in QSM. It has all the
effects including bells, engine hoots, but no
announcements.
54. When I operate PFA on double-headed
engines, I either get the trailing engines
operating out of sequence with the lead
engine or I get multiple PFA announce-ments
from all the engines.
Set all your trailing engines to "Enabled for QSM" in
RESET Position #28. The engines will not produce
the PFA sounds but will sequence with the lead
engine.
55. When I put my engines in slave, I loose a
lot of sounds and other features.
When you use RESET feature #4 to slave trailing
engines in a multiple-headed consist, not only are the
horn and bell muted, but the diesel warning light
(RESET #8), diesel or steam neutral sounds (RESET
#23), coupler operation (RESET #10), and PFA
(RESET #28) features are changed for the most
realistic slave effects. After you select slave, you can
go to these various RESET Features and change them
if you wish.
