Basic DCC Operation:
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine takes full advantage of DCC’s capabilities. Below
are the basic commands you’ll want to know to get started running quickly. Please refer
to the Advanced DCC Operation section of the manual if you want to dig into the full
capability of DCC.
Each engine type may have a slightly different F Function list. This depends upon wheth-
er it’s steam, diesel, or electric and whether it has smoke or not. Please refer to the table
of Default CV Values for your particular engine’s F Functions. A note about enabling/dis-
abling F Functions in DCC - Depending upon the DCC system you have you may need to
toggle a particular F Function on then off to actually get it to enable. Some DCC systems
do this for you automatically and others allow you to set particular F Function buttons to
either be set for momentary or toggle. Please refer to your DCC control station manufac-
turer’s manual for more information on how they handle F Function buttons.
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine’s default short address is 3. So all you have to do
is power up your DCC system and call up Locomotive 3 to begin.
Start-Up/Shut-Down
F3 – Start-Up/Shut-Down
Pressing this twice (toggle on then off) will start up your engine. When you apply DCC
power your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine will remain dark and quiet. Since you likely
don’t want to run the engine this way, simply press F3 twice to start your engine. The
lights, sound and smoke (if equipped) will come on.
Note –
You are actually able to move the engine in DCC without starting it up. Just
increasing the throttle will cause the engine to move. In order for F3 to function correctly
the engine must NOT be moving.
To shut your engine down, press the F3 button twice. This will play the shut down sounds
and then turn the lights and smoke and sounds off. As long as there is DCC power still on
the track the engine can be started up again by pressing the F3 button twice.
