Analog Programming
The Electric Locomotive can be Programmed Using a Standard Power Pack.
All advanced operations are easily programmed via your standard HO power pack. After entering programming (described below), features
are selected and operated by using the direction switch 17 .

System Volume
20
(16, Max)
“Volume equals X” Sets System volume (17 levels) where level 16 is maximum volume and level 0 is off.
2 Load
(0, No Load)
“Load equals X” Selects the starting and stopping inertia for both Regulated Throttle Control (RTC) and
Standard Throttle Control (STC).
Level 0 (no load), Level 1-15, increasing Load with
acceleration to full speed from 15 seconds to 210 seconds in RTC and from 3 seconds
to 45 seconds in STC.
3 Helper
(Normal)
“Helper equals”
“Normal”,
“Lead”,
“Mid”
“End”
“Pusher”
Selects Normal, Lead, Mid, End, or Pusher Helper in consists.
Normal Engine has all sounds and lights enabled.
Lead engine has all sounds enabled and Reverse Light, reverse Marker Lights,
disabled. Cab Lights and Number Board Lights are unaffected.
Mid Helper has Horn, Bell and all lights disabled
21 . Number Boards are unaffected.
End Helper has Horn, Bell and all lights disabled except Reverse Light, Marker Lights.
Number Board Lights are unaffected.
Pusher has Reverse Light on and Reverse Marker Lights on red all the time as train
warning lights. Horn, Bell and all other lights are disabled.
4 “Direction” (Normal) “Direction equals X” Selects if features associated with the locomotive’s direction are “Normal” or “Reverse”.
5-7 Reserved “Reserved”
8 V-Start (8.5v) “V-Start equals X” Sets track voltage where locomotive will leave Neutral. (See Example below)
9 V-Max (12v) “V-Max equals X” Sets track voltage where full power is applied to motor.
10 Throttle Mode
(RTC)
“Throttle Mode
equals X””
Selects between Standard Throttle Control (STC) and Regulated Throttle Control
(RTC).
11 Programming Reset “Warning – about to
reset”
After next Quick or Slow Operation, Bell rings 22 followed by a hoot to indicate
locomotive returned to factory default.
12 About Model number Each Quick or Slow Operation provides progressive information about Quantum
Model Number, Software Version, and software Release Date.
13 Horn Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Horn Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
14 Bell Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Bell Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
15 Motor Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Electric Traction Motor Volume. (16 levels). Max is 15.
16 Vents and Cooling Fan
Volume
“Volume equals X” Customizes Vents and Cooling Fans Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
17-19 Reserved “Reserved”
20 Air Brakes Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Air Brake Air Release Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
21-25 Reserved “Reserved”
26 Pump Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Air Pump Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
27 Air Let-off Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Long Air Let-off Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
28 Short Air Let-off Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes Short Air Let-off Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
29 Reserved “Reserved”
30 Squealing Brake/Flange
Volume
“Volume equals X” Customizes Squealing Brake/Flange Volume (16 levels). Max is 15.
31 Reserved “Volume equals X”
32 Coupler Volume “Volume equals X” Customizes All Coupler Sound Volumes (16 levels). Max is 15.
33 Reserved “Reserved”
17 Programming is even simpler using a Quantum Engineer Controller (see previous section on page 6).
18 POP is short for “ P rogram Op tion”.
19 The verbal programming responses (such as “Enter Programming” etc.) have a minimum volume setting to provide programming information even when the system volume is
turned all the way off.
20 You can set volume with the Manual Volume Control or with Programming or both. The Manual Volume Control will determine the range of volume control under Programming;
that is, if you turn the Manual Volume Control down to say, 50%, you will not be able to increase the volume above the 50% value using Programming.
21 Some lights that are not controlled by the Quantum System may remain on.
22 Bell will not be heard on models without bell feature.
