on, then off and then on as described above.
•
After the “Enter Programming” followed by “Option One - System
Volume” announcement of the first Program Option, flip the direction
switch and leave it there. You hear the announcement “Option 1, 2, 3
… etc.”. Stop when you hear “eight” by moving the direction switch
back. You will hear “V-Start”.
•
Use a
Slow
or
Quick
operation of the direction switch to enter this
option. You will hear “V-Start equals X” where “X” is the track voltage
value currently set to leave Neutral”.
•
Use a
Slow
or
Quick
operation of the direction switch to activate
this option. Hear the message “Set throttle to V-Start” and after three
seconds the voltage will be announced
17
. If you move the throttle, the
new track voltage value is announced a few seconds later.
•
Once throttle is set, use a
Slow
or
Quick
operation of the direction
switch to start the procedure. The engine will move
18
at a slow speed
and the Bell will ring continually for about 25 seconds, indicating the
correct value is being calculated. If the locomotive does not move
during the procedure, return to the beginning of this option
19
or start
over and chose a slightly higher throttle setting.
•
At the end of the process, the engine will stop moving and the
Whistle will hoot, signifying the end of the operation and you will hear
the message “V-Start = X” where “X” is the new setting.
•
To leave Programming, turn the throttle off, and then power up for
normal engine operation.
•
Or continue to V-Max by moving the direction switch and waiting for
the next Programming Option to be announced.
Example 3: Setting V-Max (Program Option # 9)
V-Max is set in the same manner as V-Start except after entering this
Program Option, you will hear “Set throttle to V-Max” which is the position
where you want the full track voltage to be applied to the motor (usually
about 80% of full throttle)
20
. Then do a
Quick
or
Slow
operation to set V-
Max.
Note:
During the V-Max setting, the engine will not move as it does under
V-Start.
Note:
When double heading your Quantum equipped locomotives
21
, make
sure that both locomotives have similar speed/throttle characteristics by
