Special Operation and
Troubleshooting
For a full description, see the Troubleshooting section in the Quantum DCC
Reference Manual (
Version 3
) at
http://www.broadway-limited.com/.
With some command stations, using the whistle button to activate the
Whistle, and, while this button is held down, activating the F6 Doppler Key,
will cause the Whistle to shut off instead of causing a Doppler shift effect.
We have experienced intermittent and independent whistle signal
interruption with some DCC command stations, causing unexpected
Doppler shifts. If this happens frequently, you may want to disable the
Whistle Triggered Doppler (CV 51.2).
Reed Switch Operation with Magnetic Wand (Analog and DCC)
•
The locomotive is equipped with a special reed switch located directly
under the plastic tender roof that can be activated by the Magnetic
Wand (enclosed) without having to disassemble the locomotive. The
reed switch can be used to change the volume of your sound system
or to reset the engine to factory defaults.
Manual Volume Adjustment (Analog and DCC)
•
Locate the reed relay area on the locomotive’s tender as shown in
the
Steam Model Specification
s sheet that was included with your
model.
•
Power up engine and leave in Neutral. Make sure Bell is not on.
•
Place the enclosed Magnetic Wand over this reed switch area on the
roof of the locomotive’s
46
tender perpendicular to the track and wait
as you hear the volume increase or decrease in incremental amounts
as the Whistle hoots about every second. Move the wand away and
again place it over the reed area to change the direction (louder or
softer) of the volume change. Remove the wand when you reach the
desired volume level.
Note:
Volume can also be adjusted digitally using the programming
methods described in the programming sections of this manual.
