value verbally. Depending on the power pack, this voltage may be slightly different than values
measured by an external meter. However, since the Quantum Voltmeter uses its own values for
throttle levels, it is the correct value for the system.
18
For earlier Quantum locomotives, the engine will only move at the very end of the V-Start
calculation.

V-Max should not be set too low when using RTC. For most MRC™ power packs, the best
choice for V-Max is about 1.5 volts below the highest throttle setting as determined by the on-
board Quantum Voltmeter.
21
Do not double-head Quantum engines with standard engines and then operate the Whistle or
bell while engines are moving. The standard engine will reverse direction and fight with the
Quantum engine.
22
Some lights such as firebox light, cab light, and number board lights may not be controllable by
the Quantum system and remain on all the time.
23
Neutral sounds also include boiler Pop-Off, Water Injector and boiler Blow Down that turn on and
off randomly for random periods of time.
24
Explicit lighting control features for Headlight and tender Reverse Light can be assigned to DCC
function outputs. (See DCC Reference Manual, version 3)
25
Quantum uses constant voltage lighting that is independent of track voltage.
26
If you do not turn on either Whistle or Bell, the Doppler shift will still occur but will be less
dramatic.
27
If the Bell was on, it will shut off prior to sounds returning to normal.
28
C4 and C24 determine the deceleration rate. Applying the brakes increases the deceleration rate
temporarily.
29
If the brakes are set in Neutral, turning up the throttle automatically releases the brakes.
30
Double pressing ensures that Shut Down stages are not entered or exited accidentally. Double
pressing is defined as two F9 commands sent within two seconds. Note that the F9 key may
have to be pressed three times, due to the command station and locomotive having different
initial states for F9.
31
It would be inconsistent for a steam locomotive to be working at full Sound-of-Power while
Dynamic Brakes are being applied to other locomotives within the same consist.
32
Dynamic Brakes on prototype diesel locomotives are less effective and are seldom used at low
speeds.
33
System Volume changes in DCC also apply to Analog and vice-versa.
34
You will hear the value spoken out (Ops Mode Only).
35
‘X’ refers to the value in column 1 of the table, the Primary Index number that will be entered into
CV 49.
36
Setting any Individual Sound Volumes in DCC will also apply to Analog and vice-versa.
37
Volume setting for Chuff 1 and Chuff 2 will also apply to Analog. However, since there is only one
setting for Chuff Volume in Analog, POP 26 will change the volume level of Chuff 1, which will
also apply to Chuff 2. When returning to DCC, both Chuff Volumes will be at the same value as
set in Analog.
38
Volume setting for Pump 1 and Pump 2 will also apply to Analog. However, since there is only
one setting for Pump Volume in Analog, POP 26 will change the volume level of Pump 1, which
will also apply to Pump 2. When returning to DCC, both Pump Volumes will be at the same value
as set in Analog.
