Adjusting Chuff Rate - Reset Feature 27
-
(5 Clanks, 3 Clinks)
Reset Feature 27 allows the operator to “fine tune” the rate of chuff relative
to the speed of the engine by setting the minimum and maximum chuff
points. To do this with the MTH Z-4000, follow the steps below:
1. With the steam engine on the track, and the transformer throttles in the
“OFF” position, press the “PROGRAM” button for the track in use. The
display will read “00” and “PG”.
2. Using the “WST/HRN” button, scroll the top display up to “27,” then
press “BELL SELECT.” The transformer will power the engine in Reset,
and run the Proto-Sounds® to Reset Feature 27 (5 Clanks, 2 Clinks).
3. Raise the throttle from the “OFF” position and press the “PROGRAM”
button. This will release the transformer from the Program Mode without
the engine leaving Reset Feature 27.
4. With the throttle set low, press the “WST/HRN” button. You will hear a
single bell, and the engine will begin to move forward with no chuff.
5. Reduce the throttle until the engine just stalls , and press “WST/HRN.”
You will hear a double bell. This is the motor speed where the chuff will
begin.
6. Raise the throttle until the engine is running at the speed that you want
the chuff to be the fasteset, and press “WST/HRN”. You will hear 3 bells,
and the engine will stop.
7. Bring the throttle to the “OFF” position to complete the Reset Feature.
Test the settings by running the engine. You may need to repeat the
procedure to further adjust the thresholds. And remember you can always
return to the Default Settings by using Reset Feature 18.
