Turn power off, reinstall the jumper. The locomotive has now been
returned to original factory defaults including all DCC and Analog
values.
High Voltage Circuit Breaker (Analog and DCC)
Your steam Locomotive is designed to operate on normal HO track voltage
supplied by most HO power packs. If track voltage exceeds
21.5
volts peak,
the motor drive circuit will automatically shut down and the engine will coast
to a stop, while the Quantum System alerts you to the problem through a
continuous series of hoots. This built in safety feature protects the Quantum
System and motor from excessive voltage.

To restart your engine, reduce the track voltage until the hooting
stops and the motors re-engage.
Program Track Operation
Your locomotive conforms to NMRA standards for program track operation.
However, the Quantum sound system requires more current to operate
than standard decoders and may not respond to the limited program track
power from some command stations. If your program track will not respond
properly, all CV’s in your locomotive can be programmed in Ops Mode. You
can purchase a simple, inexpensive power booster (PowerPak™ by DCC
Specialties) that will allow you to program on the program track with any
DCC command station.
Reasons why Your Locomotive is Silent or will not Start
In case your engine remains silent after power up and turning the power
off for 15 seconds does not return it to normal operation, try the following
suggestions to bring your engine back to normal sound operation.
•
Make sure the engine has not been Muted with the F8 key.
•
Check to see if your volume potentiometer or digital sound has been
turned all the way down.
•
You may have shut your engine down in DCC using the F9 key,
which will also shut it down in Analog. Go back to DCC operation
and start your engine with the F6 key. Once started, you can return to
DC or DCC operation.
•
If the above methods do not start your engine, use the reset jumper
to initialize your locomotive to factory default values as described
above.
