Basic Analog Operation
We recommend that you get used to operating and having fun with your new sound-
equipped locomotive before exploring its more advanced features or programming
options. Read through this section and
be up and running with your new Quantum
equipped locomotive
in less than five minutes.
Running the Locomotive
Use
an HO power pack with a standard direction switch. Set the switch to run your
locomotive forward.
• Turn the throttle
up slowly until you hear the Quantum System™ come on. You
will hear Start Up sounds and lights will turn on.
• Continue to turn up the throttle voltage until the locomotive starts to move Forward.
The Directional Lighting will turn
on . The locomotive will start out slowly due to
special Quantum Inertial Control™ that
res ists rapid increases or decreases in
speed.
•
To stop the locomotive, bring the throttle down (but not so low that the sounds
quit) and wait until the locomotive slows to a standstill
on its own.
Reversing the Locomotive
This simple operation
is exactly the same as with standard locomotives.
• Bring the locomotive to a stop and turn the power
all the way off.
•
Flip the direction switch and reapply power to go in the opposi te direction. Directional
Lighting will change.
Horn
Blow the authentic diesel locomotive Horn for short or long blasts -you control the
duration.
• While the locomotive
is moving, flip the direction switch to turn on the Horn.
• Flip the direction switch back to shut off the Horn.
The locomotive will not change direction when you blow the Horn.
Note: If you use a reversing-throttle that changes continuously from forward-to-off-to-reverse
or if you flip the direction switch too slowly from one position to the other, you can
momentarily lose track poweras the switch is being moved through its center position.
Bell
You can turn
on the Bell and leave it on while you operate other functions on the
locomotive.
• Turn the Bell
on with a Quick flip-and-back operation of the direction switch.
• Turn
the Bell off with a second Quick flip-and-back operation of the direction
switch.
Note: The Bell will stay on until you do another Quick flip-and-back operation of the direction
switch
to turn it off or if you interrupt the track power.
Note: If you do a Slow flip-and-back operation, you will get a short Horn hoot instead of the
Bell.
If you try to do a very short Horn blast using a Quick operation, you will activate the
Bell instead.
Note: If you have trouble doing the Quick flip-and-back operation, try holding the powerpack in
place with your other hand to keep the unit from slipping.
Note: If yourlocomotive does nothave aprototypicalbell enabled, the feature will stillbepresent.
You will heara single feedback ding when you turn the bell feature on anda double-ding
when you turn the bell feature
off .

Advanced Analog Features
Starting the Locomotive
Unlike standard HO locomotives that start at very low track voltages,Quantum equipped
locomotives require a minimum of about five volts to operate the electronics. Also, the
response to the throttle
is realistically much slower, just like a prototype locomotive.
• Turn the throttle
up slowly until you hear the Quantum System™ come on with a
Long Air Let-off sound.
• Continue to turn up the throttle voltage until the locomot
ive just starts to move
Forward (this voltage
is called V-Start1 ). The Diesel Motor sounds will rev up with
labored sounds proportional to the locomotive's acceleration and Load setting.
Locomotive Inertia Effects
Your new locomotive
is pre-programmed at the factory to use Regu la ted Throttle
Control (RTC)
in Analog operation. RTC makes your locomotive operate as
though it has the mass and inertia of a prototype locomotive. As a result, your
locomotive will resist starting up too quickly if at rest and wi
ll resist changes in
speed once moving. It takes a little practice to learn to move the th rottle and
wait until the locomotive responds. If you prefer that your locomo
ti ve respond
almost immediatelyto the throttle, reprogram it to use Standard Throttle Control
(STC), which has no Inertial Control (see Example 1 un der Analog
Programming, page 13).
( As you slow the locomotive down by reducing the throttle to a little below
V-start, the Diesel Motors rev and labored s
ou nds vol um e decreases, while
Squealing Brake sounds occur as the diesel locomotive com
es to a slow stop2•
Advanced Horn Operation
Doppler Effect
This sound effect changes the pitch and volume of the Horn, Be ll and other diesel
sounds as the locomotive passes by.
• While the locomotive
is moving toward the observer, fl ip t he di re ction switch to
turn
on the Horn.
• Wait
at least one second while the Horn is bl owi ng .
• Just before the locomotive passes
in front of t he observer,flip the direction switch
back and forth quickly
so the Horn does not sh ut off. You will hear the Doppler
Effect
as the locomotive passes by.
• Either flip the direction switch back to shut off the Horn, or continue with long or
short Horn operations. When
you are finished blowing the Horn, the locomotive
sounds will automatically return to normal after a few seconds.
If the Bell was on,
it will shut off just before the so unds return to normal.
Note: The faster the locomotive is moving, the greater the Doppler shift. Below 15 smph (24
skph), there
is no Doppler shift.
Playing the Horn
Prototype engineers would often "play" their horns by controlling the flow of compressed
ai r. In particular, engineers often had a signature sound associated with how they
ended their horn sequences. Some Quantum System sound sets have special Horn
Endings that can
be activated using the direction switch to p ro duce a unique sound
effect similar to that of a prototype engineer's "playing" the Ho
rn .
• Flip the direction switch to blow the Horn for
at least one sec ond.
• The normal way to end the Horn is to fl ip the direction swit ch back. To do the
special Horn Ending, add
an immediate Qu ic k flip -a n d- back ope rat i on .
Note: If you wait too long to do the Quick Flip -a nd -B ac k op er at ion, the Bell might turn on
instead.
' It is useful to mark where V-S t art is on your throttle. V- Start can also be reprogrammed to different values for diff ere nt
power packs.
2
Squealing B rakes occur if th e locomotive exceeds 40 scale-miles per hour (64 scale kilometers / hour) and t hen s lows down
to be low 20 smph (32 skph).

Strobing Ditch Lights
• For safety reasons, prototype engineers will often strobe the Ditch Lights while the
Horn
is blowing, particularly at grade crossings.
• While the locomotive
is moving Forward, flip the direction switch to turn on the
Horn.
• Ditch Lights will start alternating from side to side and continue for five seconds3
after you turn off the Horn.
Automatic Features
Quantum features4 are automatically controlled as a function of the directional state of
the locomotive as described
in the table below.

Note: If your locomotive has a Mars Light, the Headlight will be off instead of "Dim" in all states
except Forward where it will
be Bright.
Neutral
In Neutral, the locomotive will continue to make prototypical sounds appropriate to its
resting state.
• Enter Neutral by turning the throttle down below V-Start but not off and wait
for the locomotive to stop6. The Headlight and Ditch Lights will turn off and the
optional Mars Light switches
to steady-on. The Reverse Light will turn off when
entering Neutral.
• You will hear a Short Air Let-off when the locomotive stops moving and enters
Neutral, a Long Air Let-off about three seconds later, followed by Air Pumps and
other background sounds. After the Air Pumps start, you can use the direction
switch to blow the Horn or turn on or off the Bell (if enabled).
•
If the diesel locomotive is left in Neutral From Reverse for 30 seconds, a special
Low Idle state marked by subdued throbbing motorsounds will automaticallycome
on. The diesel locomotive will return to normal Diesel Motor sounds when throttle
is turned up.
Changing the Locomotive's Direction without Turning off the Sound
You can use the power pack's direction switch while the locomotive is in Neutral to
change the locomotive's direction.
• Putthe locomotive
in Neutral by bringing the throttle down belowV-start and waiting
for the locomotive to stop.
3
The hold time for strobing Ditch Lights after the horn button is released can be set using CV 55.84.5. The setting of this CV
applies to both Analog and DCC operation .
4
Not all features , or dim light capability , may be available in your particular locomotive model.
5
Quantum 1 Reverse Lights cannot be dimmed ; they only have bright and off settings .
6
If Regulated Throttle Control is enabled it is important to wait until the locomotive stops on its own. The locomotive's
electronic Inertial Control will keep it moving even though you have reduced the throttle far enough below V-Start to stop
the locomotive. In your attempt to stop the locomotive , do not try to reduce the throttle so far that all sounds turn off.
-7-

• Flip the direction switch after you hear the Short Air Let-off but before you hear the
Long Air Let-off followed by Air Pump sounds turning on. During this short t ime (3
seconds) the Horn will not blow when you flip the direction switch.
• Turn
up the throttle anytime thereafter to operate the locomotive in the opposite
direction.
If you have waited until the Air Pumps start
in Neutral and now wish to change direction,
you can either:
1. Reduce th ethrottle to off, change the direction switch and turn the throttle back up
to repower the locomotive or,
2. Leave the locomotive in Neutral, flip the direction switch (the Horn will come on)
and then turn up the throttle.
Note: When the locomotive starts to move in the opposite direction, the Horn will stop
automatically and then hoot one more time if the direction is Forward for a total of two
hoots.
Or if the direction is Reverse, the Horn will hoot two more times for a total of three
hoots7•
To prevent the first Horn hoot from being too long, do not delay in turning up the
throttle afteryou have flipped the direction switch.
Train Load
You can set your diesel locomotive to have any of
16 different Load levels, which
represent added inertia from rolling stock (see Analog Programming, Option 2
on page
11 ). The higher the Load setting, the greater the inertia effect during acceleration and
deceleration. Level O
is the default, which is no Load.
Sound-of-Power™
During acceleration, Diesel Motor sounds will produce heavy labored sounds (based
on Load setting) until the locomotive has achieved its final speed where it will then
produce standard sounds appropriate to its throttle setting. Under deceleration, the
Diesel Motor sounds are less labored until
it achieves its final speed where it will again
produce standard Diesel Motor sounds appropriate to its throttle setting.
Helpers
Prototype Helpers are locomotives that are used to provide extra power and/or braking
for a heavily loaded train. The Quantum System allows you
to easily program how
each locomotive will behave by selecting between a Lead locomotive, Mid Helper,
End Helper, or Pusher. Each type of Helper locomotive has different lights and sounds
enabled or disabled, as described
in the table under Option 3, in Analog Programming,
page
11.
Normal and Reversed Direction
Quantum also allows you to reverse the directional sense of your locomotive. This
is
normally not an issue with DC two-rail trains since all locomotives will go in the same
direction whether they are facing forwards or backwards. However, certain features
like Directional Lighting or diesel Low Idle do depend
on the directional sense. When
making
up a train with different Helper types, it is recommended that you also change
the directional sense of any Helper that
is intended to be operated backwards within
the consist. See "Option 4 Direction
", Analog Programming, page 11 .
Additional Analog Operation Features Available with the Quantum Engineer™
Controller
Your Quantum diesel locomotive
is equipped wi th QSl's QARC™ (Quantum Analog
Remote Control) Technology. QARC Technology uses special remote control signals
to operate various Quantum System features without the need for complicated and
expensive digital systems. With QARC technology, you can operate features that are
otherwise available only
in Digital Command Control (DCC), plus some new features
that are not yet available
in DCC. QARC will allow you to: 1) turn on or off individual
lights, 2) shut down and start
up locomotives, 3) make up consists easily, 4) simplify
Analog programming,
5) set System Volume or Mute while train is operating, 6) trigger
Coupler Crash sounds,
7) operate prototype-like Air Brakes, 8) turn on Dynamic Brakes,
9) activate Status or Speed Reports and operate many other features. The QARC
System makes Analog operation more fun and more prototypical than DCC by
7
Standard US prototype railroad signaling is two hoots before starting in forward and three hoots before starting in reverse.
Other countries have different signaling. Check your Diesel Model Specification sheet for horn sequences used on your
model.

eliminating the need to configure function keys. Every button on the QARC controller
does exactly what it is labeled to do. The only major difference between QARC and
DCC
is that, with QARC, you are not able to independently operate multiple trains on
the same powered track section at different speeds at the same time.
The QARC controller, called Quantum Engineer™(Walthers Part No. 920-5990), can
be added to your existing Analog DC power pack in less than five minutes. Wiring is
simple: two red wires go to the variable DC output from the power pack and two
black wires go to the track (FIGURE 1). Place Quantum Engineer beside your power
pack or mount
it directly on most popular power packs as shown in FIGURE 2. All
features
on the power pack remain the same including throttle and reverse switch
control. See our website at http://www.walthers.com

Programming and Sound Control with Quantum Engineer: Figure 3 shows the Star
Pad key section of the Quantum Engineer, which controls both sound and programming.
During normal operation, the
Volume• and Volume T keys control the system volume
and the Mute key toggles the sound between normal and a low volume level.
In addition,
the STC and RTC keys allow you to easily select between Standard Throttle Control
and Regulated Throttle Control.
Or you can enter Programming Mode by pressing and holding the Prgm key while you
turn
on the power. The Red power light will blink and your locomotive directional lights
will blink to indicate you have entered programming. Press the Next key
to advance
from one Programming Option to the next. The locomotive will speak out which Option
you have selected. The Prev key allows you
to move backwards through Program
Options. Once
you have selected an Option, use the Volume• or Volume T keys to
program that option.
For instance,
if you wanted to change
the Whistle volume independently or
other sounds, enter programming with
the Prgm key, and press and hold the
Next key until you hear the locomotive
count
up to thirteen "13" and responds
with the verbal message "Whistle
Volume". Press the Volume .._ key to
increase the Whistle volume or press the
Volume T to
decrease the Whistle
volume. As you press the volume up or
down keys, you will hear the Whistle
hoot at each new volume setting. You
can now move to
other options by
pressing the Next or Prev key. For instance, if you pressed the Next Key, you would
advance
to the next option, "14" where the locomotive would announce "Bell Volume".
You can now use the Volume .._ or Volume T to change the Bell volume and hear the
Bell sound at each new volume setting.
To leave programming, simply shut off the track
power. See the table
on page 11 for additional listings of Programming Options.

Entering Programming
Use this simple sequence to enter Programming using the direction switch.
1. Apply power and turn up the throttle to hear the sound system come on.
2. Wi th in five seconds of powering up, turn on the Bell12 with a Quick flip-and-back
operation.
3. Within three seconds of the Bell turning on, turn off the bell with a second Quick
flip-and back operation.
4. Within three seconds, tu rn the Bell back on again with a third Quick flip-and-back
operation.
If you delay too long after power has been first applied, the opportunity to enter
Programming w ill time out and you will need to start again by shutting off and reapplying
track power.
Once you perform the three bell operations after applying power, the Bell will shut off
automatically and you wi ll hear "Enter Programming" and the Headlight and Reverse
Light will flash alternately off and on.
Scrolling through the Program Options
• After entering Programming, you will hear an announcement of the first Program
Option, "Option 1 - System Volume".
• To access other Program Options, simply flip the direction switch to the opposite
position and leave it there. Listen as each option number is announced in order.
• When you hear the Option Number you want, flip the direction switch back and
leave it there. After you stop at
an option you will hear the option number and
name announced. When you are scrolling through and stopping at Program
Options,you are not making any changes.To make changes
you must actually
enter the Program Option.
Note: If you accidentally go to a higher option number other than the one you wanted, simply
turn the
power off , re-enter Programming and start again13• Once you reach the last
Program Option, it will continue
to announce the last option number .
Entering a Program Option and Making Changes
After the verbal announcement of a Program Option, you can enter that option by
performing a Slow or Quick flip-and-back operation of the direction switch14. Upon
entering a Program Option, you will hear the current setting for that option. For unused
Program Options, you will hear "Reserved". For any volume option, you will hear
"Volume equals X" (where "X" is its current volume level setting). After a moment, you
will hear the sound playing at its current volume15•
Note: It is easy to distinguish between doing a Quick and Slow operation. When you flip the
direction switch
to do a Slow operation, wait until you hear a low level "hiss" sound from
the locomotive
and then immediately flip the direction switch back. To do a Quick
operation, make sure you flip the direction switch back before you hear the "hiss"sound.
Note: Entering a Program Option does not change the settings for that option; it only provides
information aboutits current value.
After entering the Program Option, additionalSlow or
Quickflip-and-back operations willprogram new settingsas described in the above table.
Foral/ leveladjustments, a Quick operation will decrease one level, while a Slowoperation
will increase one level.
Note: Since "System Volume"is the first Program Option, you can use Quick or Slowoperations
immediately after entering Programming to change the System Volume.
Moving on to Other Program Options or Leaving Programming
• Flip the direction switch at anytime to the opposite position, and leave it there.
The Quantum System will first return to and announce the current Program Option
and then automatically advance
on to higher options.
• Exit Programming anytime you want by turning the power off and then back on
again.
12
If your locomotive does not have a prototype Bell enabled, a single feedback ding indicates you have entered the Bell State
and a double ding indicates you have left the Bell State.
13
If you have a Quantum Engineer, you can move both back and forth through Program Options.
14
If you have a Quantum Engineer , Quick and Slow operations are done with specific program buttons.
15
Setting any volume in Analog will also apply to DCC and vice-versa.

Example 1: Setting Throttle Mode {Program Option #10)
This will determine whether your locomotive uses Regulated Throttle Control (RTC) or
Standard Throttle Control (STC).
• Enter Programming after powering
up your locomotive by turning the Bell on, then
off and then on as described on page 12.
• 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 will hearthe announcement "Option 1,2,3 ... etc." Stop when you hear
"one-zero"
by moving the direction switch back. You will hear 'Throttle Mode".
• Use a Slow
or Quick operation of the direction switch to enter this option. If the
throttle mode
is at its default value (RTC ), you will hear "Mode equals Regulated ";
otherwise, you will hear "Mode equals Standard".
• Use a Slow
or Quick operation of the direction switch to change the Throttle
Mode. Repeated Slow
or Quick operations will cause the throttle modeto alternate
between its two possible values "Regulated" or "Standard".
• Once you have selected the Throttle Mode you wish to use, turn the throttle
off.
When you power up again, your locomotive will be using the Throttle Mode that
you have just selected.
Example
2: Setting V-Start {Program Option #8)
This option will determine the voltage (and throttle position) at which the locomotive
will leave Neutral and start moving.
• Enter Programming after powering
up your locomotive by turning the Bell on ,then
off and then on -as described above.
• After the "Enter Programming" announcement followed
by "Option One -System
Volume" announcement for the first Program Option, flip the direction switch and
leave it there. You will hear the announcement "Option
1, 2, 3 . .. etc. ". Stop when
you hear the number
"8' ' 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 currentlyset for leaving
Neutral.
• Use a Slow or Quick operation of the direction switch to activate this option. Hear
the message "Set throttle to V-Start." After three seconds, the voltage will
be
announced. 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 V-Start voltage setting procedure. The locomotive will move at a slow speed
and the Bell will ring continually for about 25 seconds, indicating the correct value
is being calculated.
If you chose a very low voltage setting, be patient. If the
locomotive does not move during this procedure, return to the beginning of this
option or start over16 and then chose a slightly higher throttle setting.
• At the end of the process, the locomotive will stop moving and the Horn 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 locomotive
operation.
• Or continue to V-Max
by moving the direction switch and waiting for the next
Programming Option
to be announced.
16
See section on page 12: Moving on to Other Program Options or Leaving Programming.
-13-

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 throttle position where you want the
full track voltage to be applied to the motor (usually about 80% of full throttle)17. Then
do a Quick
or Slow operation to start the V-Max setting procedure. Like V-Start, the
bell will ring continually until the voltage
is set followed by a Horn hoot to indicate the
procedure
is finished. Setting V-Max is much quicker than V-Start.
Note: During the V- Max setting, the locomotive will not move as it does under V-Start.
For more information, download the Quantum Analog Reference Manual (Version 4) from
http://www.walthers.com then select the technical help link on the menu bar.
17
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 Quantum built-in Voltmeter .

DCC Operation
These steps will allow you to start operating your Quantum equipped diesel locomotive
immediately using any DCC system that
is compatible with the applicable NMRA DCC
specifications.
1. Select locomotive number 3.
2. Set your DCC controller to 128 (preferable) or 28 (acceptable) speed step range.
3. Start your locomotive immediately by pressing the F6 DCC function key18 to hear
the locomotive Start
Up sounds. The Directional Lighting System (Front Headlight,
Reverse Light (Rear Headlight), Mars Light and Ditch Lights19)
will be on. The
Cab Lights
and Number Board Lights will be on. The Cab Lights will shut off
automatically after
ten seconds.
4. Increase the throttle to leave Neutral and start the locomotive moving. The
locomotive
will start out slowly due to special Quantum Inertial Control™ that
resists rapid increases or decreases
in speed. When you reduce the throttle to
zero, you will hear a Short Air Let-off when the locomotive stops moving indicating
that
it has entered Neutral; a Long Air Let-off will occur about one second later,
followed by Air Pumps
and other background sounds20.
The direction of your locomotive will change when you press the direction key on your
DCC throttle.
• Locomotive Inertia Effects
• Your new locomotive
is pre-programmed at the factory to use Regulated Throttle
Control (RTC) in DCC operation. RTC makes your model operate as though it has
the mass and inertia of a prototype locomotive. As a result, your locomotive will
resist starting up too quickly if at rest and will resist changes in speed once moving.
It takes a little practice
to learn to move the throttle slowly and wait until the
locomotive responds.
If you preferthat your locomotive respond almost immediately
to the throttle,
it may be reprogrammed to use Standard Throttle Control (STC) in
CV56.4.
Function Keys
The following table lists features that have been pre-assigned to your DCC function
keys.Operation of these keys can
be different in the Neutral state (locomotive stopped)
and the Motive states (locomotive moving
in Forward or Reverse). After you have
selected your locomotive, simply press any of the function keys listed below to produce
the described effects.

18
It d oes not need to be F6 ; any function or speed command will activate the locomotive. It is on ly when a locomotive is in
Shut Down that an F6 command is necessary.
19
The lighting features available depend on the locomotive model.
20
Neutral sounds also include Cooling F ans with Vents opening and closing that turn on and off randomly.
21
If the prototype did not have a bell , no bell feature is assigned to Ft and no other feature is assigned in its place .
-15-

If you have a DCC command station that supports only the older Oto 8 function key
standard, you will have no way to initiate Shut Down
in Neutral with these pre-assigned
feature to function key mappings. There
is an interim solution to this problem; Swap
the features assigned to the
F7 and F9 outputs in Neutral by doing the following:
1. Set CV49 to 9,set CV50 to 1, and set CV53to 145. Now F7 in Neutral controls Shut
Down.
2. Set CV49 to 11 , set CV50 to 1, and set CV53 to 9. Now F9 in Neutral controls
Long Air Let-off.
Automatic Features
Automatic Quantum Features depend on the directional state of the locomotive.
Automatic Control can be enabled or disabled by their indicated function keys. The
state of each Automatic feature
in each direction is shown in the table below.

When an indicated function key enables an "automatic" light feature, the associated
lights operate according to the states shown
in the table. For instance, enabling the
Automatic Ditch Lights
in Neutral will not cause the Ditch Lights to turn on since their
automatic behavior would have them off
in that directional state; however, it you then
entered Forward, the Ditch Lights would turn on. When an indicated function key
disables
an "automatic" feature, all lights will be off. For instance, disabling "Automatic
Ditch Lights" will immediately shut off any operating Ditch Lights and they will not turn
on again until the automatic feature is enabled.
Note: Use CV55 to change the behavior of lights from what is described in the above table.
Note: Not all features may be available in your locomotive model. In particular, Number Board
Lights and Marker Lights have not been offered for the same model.
F11 is assigned to
the feature that is available.
Note: Lights and other features can be assigned to function keys and configured to different
kinds
of operation andinitial conditions in CV 53 (Output Feature Assignment) andCV55
(OSI Feature Configuration). See the Quantum DCC Reference Manual, version
4.
Coupler and Coupler Crash Sounds (F3)
There are two ways to use the F3 key.
•
In Forward or Reverse, as your locomotive is moving to couple up to a string of
cars, press the
F3 key to trigger the crashing sound of a locomotive coupling. Use
the
F3 key again as the locomotive is moving out to produce the same sound as
the slack is taken up in the cars.
• Use the
F3 key in Neutral to produce uncoupling sounds as you disconnect cars
over uncoupler magnets. Press the
F3 key once to produce the sound of the lift
bar and coupling
pin being raised. This first press also arms the uncoupling sound
effect. Press the
F3 key again while moving or in Neutral to produce the sound of
the coupler knuckle opening and the air-lines parting.
Note: If you have armed the Coupler in Neutral and are now in Forward or Reverse, pressing
the F3 Key will produce the coupleropening sound. Thereafter, as you continue
in Forward
or Reverse, the F3 Key will produce Coupler Crash Sounds.
22
If your locomotive has a Mars Light , the Headlight will be off (instead of " Dim ") in all states except Forward where it will be
Bright.
23
Quantum 1 Reverse Lights cannot be dimmed ; they only have bright and off settings.

Sound-of-Power™
If CV3, or CV23 and CV4, or CV24 has been set to non-zero positive values, your
diesel
locomotive will produce additional labored Diesel Motor sounds under
acceleration and lighter Diesel Motor sounds under deceleration. The level of labored
sounds
is proportional to the values for these four CVs, and how much the throttle is
increased or decreased.
Diesel Motor RPM: Quantum has all eight diesel-motor throttle "notches" found
on
prototype locomotives. As you increase the throttle, you will hear the RPM's increase
for every increase
in ten speed steps (at 128 speed step setting). Idle is considered
Notch 1 and occurs for speed step
0. Notch 2 ranges from 1 to 10, Notch 3 from 11 to
20 , Notch 4 from 21 to 30,etc. If your controller has an option to increment or decrement
your throttle set setting by ten speed steps,
it is very easy and predicable to set your
notch value.
Horn and Bell Buttons (F2, F1)
Some DCC controllers have separate horn and bell buttons along with function keys
assigned to horn and bell operation. The bell
is usually assigned to F1 and the horn is
usually assigned to F2. The F2 key behaves differently than using the horn button.
• Pressing the
F2 key and releasing it will cause the horn command to come on and
stay
on, until you press F2 again.
• Pressing the horn button will send the horn command only
as long as you hold the
button down.
Pressing the
F1 key and releasing it will cause the Bell to come on and stay on , until
you press
F1 again. There is no difference in operation between the bell button and its
corresponding function key.
Note: If your locomotive is equipped with Ditch Lights, they will automatically strobe from one
light
to the other when the Horn is being blown and will continue for five seconds after the
horn signal has stoppec
J24 .
Note: Since the prototype horn uses compressedair, you will hearthe Air Pump sounds turn on
after the Horn is operated.
Doppler Operation (F6)
With DCC, you can trigger the Doppler Effect by quickly interrupting the horn signal in
the same way as described under Analog Operation. Or, you can use the function key
(F6) assigned to the Doppler Effect.
• Start the Horn and/or Bell by pressing and releasing their function keys.
• Press
F6 to hear the Doppler shift. A few seconds after the horn button is turned
off with the
F2 key the diesel locomotive sounds return to normal.
Note: If you do not turn on either Horn or Bell, the Doppler shift will still occur but will be less
dramatic.
Note: If the Bell was on, it will shut off prior to sounds returning to normal.
Squealing Brake and Flange Sounds (F7)
Quantum provides automatic brake squeal as a locomotive slows to a stop. The operator
can also control squealing sounds for continuous and variable brake sounds for
protracted stops or to simulate the sounds of squealing wheel flanges
on curved track.
• To enable Automatic Squealing Brakes operate the locomotive over 40 smph
(64
skph). Squealing brakes sounds will then sound automatically when the speed is
reduced to less than 20 smph (32 skph).
• Pressing the
F7 key when the locomotive is moving at any speed will manually
activate Squealing Brake sounds, and repeated pressings while the Squealing
Brake sounds are occurring will continue
the sounds uninterrupted.
Note: If you slow the locomotive too quickly, the brake sounds will terminate abruptly when the
locomotive stops and enters Neutral.
Note: If you loweryour throttle to speedstep Oona moving locomotive, the F7 key will applyAir
Brakes
to slow the locomotive. See next section.
24
The hold time for strobing Ditch Lights after the horn button is released can be set in CVSS.84.5.
-17-

Air Brakes (F7)
If you have selected any non-zero deceleration inertia or momentum value in CV4 and/
or CV24, the F7 key can be used to apply Air Brakes to stop the locomotive more
quickly than it would normally stop from the inertia settings25 . To use Air Brakes:
• Turn the throttle down to speed step O
on a moving locomotive; this enables the
F7 key to act as a brake.
• Press the
F7 key. Heara brief brake squeal sound and air being released from the
brake lines continually. The longer the air is released the greater the braking
action.
Note: Fl will apply brakes when set to 1 and stop the air release when set to 0. Depending on
the initial setting for Fl when you turn your throttle down to speed step zero, you may
need
to press the Fl key twice to first apply brakes.
• Press the F7 key again to stop the air release. The train will continue to slow at the
last braking value.
•
If you want to apply more braking, press the F7 key again to release more air.
When you reach the desired amount of braking, press
F7 again to stop the air
release.
Note: If you continue to release air, all the pressure will eventuallybe released andbrakes are
on full; you will hear no further
air release sounds.
• Turn up the throttle to any value above Oto release the brakes; this action resets
the locomotive's deceleration to a value determined bythe sum of CV4 and CV24.
•
If the locomotive is in Neutral when the F7 key is pressed, the Long Air Let-off
sound simulates setting the brakes. However, no braking effect
is activated26.
Note: If the throttle is set to any speedstep except 0, Air Brakes are notenabled; instead the Fl
key will now manually activate Squealing Brake/Flange sounds but will not affect the
locomotive's deceleration.
Note: If the direction state is changed while moving, Fl is enabled to act as a brake without the
need
to reduce the throttle to speed step 0. After stopping and changing direction, the
loco will accelerate back
to its original speed.
Three Stages of Diesel Locomotive Shut Down: 1. Disconnect, 2. Standby, 3.
Total Shut Down (F9)
Locomotive Shut Down has three distinct stages that you can control. Each stage is
entered by double pressing the F9 key
27
.
Stage One: Disconnect
• Double press the F9 key in Neutral to enter Disconnect. You will hear a Long Air
Let-off. The motor drive will be disabled. The DCC throttle can
be moved up and
down without the diesel locomotive moving. As the throttle
is moved up or down,
you will hear the Diesel Motor rev
up and down in proportion to the throttle setting.
All Function Keys are active
in Disconnect.
• To leave Disconnect, either double press the
F6 Start Up key, as described in the
Start Up section or double press the
F9 key again to reach Standby, the next
stage of Shut Down.
Note: In Disconnect, you can also turn on the Dynamic Brakes (see description of Dynamic
Brakes on page
19) to create Sound-of-Power as the throttle is moved up and down.
Engineers on prototype diesels use dynamic brakes
to load the motor-generator to test
its output efficiency while the locomotive remains stationary.
Stage Two: Standby
• Double press the F9 key while in Disconnect to enter Standby. You will hear a
Long Air Let-off followed by a special "Low Idle" sound. The Directional Lighting
and optional Ditch Lights or Mars Light will shut down.
25
CV4 and CV24 determine the deceleration rate. Applying the brakes increases the deceleration rate temporarily.
28
If the brakes are set in Neutral , turning up the throttle automatically releases the brakes .
27
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 DCC command station and locomotive having different initial states for F9 . Double pressing ensures
that Shut Down stages are not entered or exited accidentally.
www.walthers.com
-18-

Note: The motorwill remain disconnected, while the Air Pumps, automatic Cooling Fan operation,
NumberBoard Lights andCab Lights will continue
to operate. In Standby, the locomotive
will not respond
to throttle or function keys2
8.
The three exceptions are the F6 Start Up
Key, the FB Mute Key (described on page 20) and the F10 Status Key (described on
page 21).
• To leave Standby, either double press the F6 Start Up Key, as described in the
Start
Up section, or double press the F9 key again to reach the final stage of Shut
Down: Total Shut Down.
Note: Standby is ideal for leaving yourlocomotive running on a siding. Besides hearing the Low
Idle diesel motor sounds, the locomotive will not respond
to accidentally changing the
throttle setting
or pressing the function keys.
Stage Three: Total Shut Down
Total Shut Down allows the operator to take the locomotive "off line" (turn off sounds,
lights, ignore throttle settings and function commands) independent of the operating
session: the locomotive will still be "off line" when power
is reapplied for the next
operating session, regardless of whether the next session
is Analog (conventional
DC) or DCC.
• Double press the
F9 in Standby to enterTotal Shut Down. You will hear a Long Air
Let-off. The Air Pumps will turn off, followed
by the Number Boards (if so equipped)
and the sounds of the Cooling Fans shutting
off, the louvers closing, the Diesel
Motor shutting down and finally, the Cab Lights (if
so equipped) turning off. A few
seconds later
you will hear the engineer's door open and then shut.
Note: In Total Shut Down, the locomotive will not respond to throttle or function keys. The two
exceptions are the F6 Start
Up Key (described below) andthe F10 Status Key (described
below).
• To leave Total Shut Down, double press the F6 key.
Note: If power is turned off at any stage of Shut Down (Disconnect, Standby or Total Shut
Down)
or during a Shut Down procedure, the locomotive will remember the last Shut
Down stage it was
at during power down, and the locomotive will power up in the same
stage.
If Start Up is initiated during any of the above Shut Down procedures, Shut Down
is aborted, and locomotive will return to normal operation.
Dynamic Brakes (FS)
The prototype diesel locomotive usually has dynamic brakes that cause the train to
slow down by using the traction motors
in generator (rather than motor) mode. This
method of braking dissipates the energy of a moving train by converting
it to electrical
power, which
is then applied to a large air-cooled resistor load in the locomotive.
• Pressing the
F5 key in Forward or Reverse will set the locomotive's Diesel Motor
sound to idle at the lowest Sound-of-Power setting and turn
on the powerful
Dynamic Brake Cooling Fans.
• Pressing the
F5 key in Neutral in "Disconnect" will turn on the Dynamic Brake
Cooling Fans while Diesel Motor sounds remain
at idle.
Dynamic Brakes automatically turn off when entering or leaving Neutral, when
locomotive speed drops below 7 smph
(11 skph)29, or when the throttle is turned up.
Dynamic Brakes cannot be turned
on in Forward or Reverse unless the locomotive
speed
is over 8 smph (13 skph).
Note: In contrast to Air Brakes (Fl) , Dynamic Brakes do not increase the deceleration rate
specified
by CV4 and CV24.
Start Up (F6)
If your Quantum equipped diesel locomotive is in any stage of Shut Down, you can
return it to normal operation by double pressing30 the
F6 key. Start Up will be different
for each stage of Shut Down, but all will start up with a Long Air Let-off and will enter
normal operation.
28
Pressing a function key will only produce a Short Air Let-off.
29
Dynamic Brakes on prototype locomotives are less effective and are seldom used at low speeds.
30
Double pressing is defined as two F6 commands sent within two seconds. Note that the F6 key may have to be pressed
three times , due to the DCC command station and locomotive having different initial states for F6 . Double pressing ensures
that Start Up is not entered accidentally.
-19-

Start Up from Disconnect: If you double press the F6 key in Disconnect, the diesel
locomotive will produce a Long Air Let-off, Dynamic Brakes will shut off and the
locomotive will enter normal operation.
Start Up from Standby: If you double press the F6 key in Standby, the diesel locomotive
will produce a Long Air Let-off, Directional Lighting will turn on, the Diesel Motor sound
will change from the special Low Idle to regular Idle, and the locomotive will enter
normal operation.
Start Up from Total Shut Down: If you double press the F6 key in Total Shut Down,
the diesel locomotive will produce a Long Air Let-off, you will hear the engineer's door
opening and closing, and see Cab Lights come
on (if so equipped), Number Boards
come
on (if so equipped), and Directional Lighting turn on (if previously on). These
actions are followed by the sounds of vents opening, the Diesel Motor starting
up, the
Air Pumps starting
up, and the locomotive entering normal operation.
Note: During the Start Up procedure, none of the DCC function keys are active. However, if the
throttle
is turned up from zero during any of the above Start Up procedures, the Start Up
procedure will abort and the locomotive will enter normal operation.
Mute (F8)
The Quantum System allows you to reduce the System Volume to a lower level or
increase
it back to its original setting using the F8 function key. This capability is useful
when you need to reduce the sound
to engage in a conversation or to answer the
phone. If you have many trains operating at once, you can reduce the volume
on all
those that are running
in the background of the layout and increase the volume of the
closest locomotive. The Mute feature changes the sound gradually over a second or
two, which allows the sound to increase or decrease realis
ti cal ly as the locomotive
approaches or recedes from the observer.
• Press the
F8 key in Neutral or Forward/Reverse to gradually decrease or increase
the locomotive's volume.
Note: Mute state is notmaintained if power is turned of f and then turned back on; the locomotive
will return
to full system volume setting.
Note: Mute Volume can be programmed in CV51.1.
Heavy Load (F9)
Heavy Load is applied while the train is moving; it ma intains the train at a steady
speed while allowing you to have control over the sound effects of a working locomotive.
Under Heavy Load, changing the throttle will have little affect
on the locomotive's speed.
Instead you use the throttle to control a diesel's notch and laboring Sound-of-Power
effects. When you approach a grade under Heavy Load, increase the throttle and hear
the locomotive rev
up with heavy laboring sounds. When the locomotive goes down a
grade, reduce the throttle to hear the locomotive's rev drop with light laboring sounds.
You control which notch or the change of revs and labored sounds
by how much the
throttle
is increased or decreased from its initial position (where Heavy Load was turned
on).• Press
F9 and hear one short hoot when Heavy Load is turned on
• Press F9 and hear two short hoots when Heavy Load is turned off.
You can apply Heavy Load as soon as you start moving or wait until you are up to
speed.
Note: Return the throttle to its initial setting (where Heavy Load was turned on) to avoid
acceleration
or deceleration when Heavy Load is turned off.
Note: Heavy Loadcan only be turned on or off in Forward or Reverse. If turned on, it will remain
on
in Neutral. Ifyou want it off when you start out from Neutral, immediately do so when
the throttle
is turned up.
Note: Heavy Load is automatically turned off when track power is turned off.
Note: Heavy Load represents a train that would take over ten minutes to accelerate to full
speed
or to bring to a complete stop. It is independent of any inertia (or momentum)
values set
in CV3, 4, 23, or 24.
Note: Under RTC and Heavy Load, grades, voltage changes, tight curves or other real loading
effects, will have little effect on the speed
of the train. Under STC and Heavy Load,
grades, loading, etc. will affect the train speed as it moves around the layout.

Status (F10)
The Quantum System provides verbal information about the locomotive's current
operating state when the locomotive is in Neutral or the locomotive's current speed in
scale miles per hour when the locomotive is moving.
• Press the F1 Okey in Neutral;the locomotive will verbally report its currently enabled
long or short DCC address followed by its consist ID (if it has one), followed by its
Shut Down state, if any (Disconnect, Standby or Shut Down).
• Press the F10 key in Forward or Reverse; the locomotive will verbally report the
locomotive's speed in scale miles per hour (smph) or in scale kilometers per hour
(skph)
31
•
Note: When Status Report (or Verbal Speedometer Readout) is activated, the locomotive's
sounds will reduce
to one half their current volume settings during the verbal report.
Locomoti
ve sounds return to normal volume when the report has ended.
Note: In a consi st, all locomotives will s im ultaneously report their status when the F10 key is
pressed unless disabl
ed in CV22.
Note: Status in Forward and Reverse can be configured to also report the Back EMF value and/
or mot or Pulse Width Modulation (P WM) value. See CV55, QSI Feature Configuration in
th e Quant um DCC Refe re nce Ma n ua l, version 4.
Functi on Key Operation in Ne utral
Some function keys used in Forward and Reverse will have different effects when
used in Neutra l:
• •The F7 key produces Sq uealing Brake Sounds or applies brakes for a movi ng
locomotive but produces a Long Air Let-o ff in Neutra l.
• Pressi ng F6 results in Doppler shift for a moving locom oti ve b ut activat es Start Up

DCC Programming
Most DCC command stations currently available will program Quantum equipped
locomotives in Service Mode32 on a programming track or Operations (Ops) Mode on
the main track. In Service Mode, your locomotive (if queried) will report back CV values
to your command station. In Ops Mode, reports are verbal using the locomotive sound
system.
Changing the System Volume Electronically in CV51.0
You can change the volume either manually (as described in the Special Operation
and Troubleshooting section) or electronically using OSI
CV51 .0 in DCC. To change
volume in Service or Ops Mode, do the following:
• Set CV49 to
0.
33
• Enter the System Volume in CV51 .The System Volume can be set to any value
between 0 (no sound) and 127 (100%). The default System Volume is 127.
Note: When you change the System Volume in Ops Mode, you will immediately notice the
change
in volume.
Note: System Volume changes
in DCC also apply to Analog and vice-versa.
Changing the Mute Volume Electronically in CV 51.1
To change the Mute Volume in Service or Ops Mode, do the following:
• Set
CV 49 to 1.
• Enterthe Mute Volume in CV 51 .The Mute Volume can be setto any value between
0 (no sound) and 63 (50%). The default Mute Volume is 0.
Note: When you change the Mute Volume in Ops Mode, and the locomotive is muted, you will
immediately notice the change
in Volume.
Note:
The effective Mute Volume level will be the smaller of the Mute Volume setting or one-
half the current System Volume. In other words, the effective Mute Volume will neverbe
more than one half
of the System Volume.
Enable/Disable Horn Triggered Doppler Shift (CV51.2)
• Set CV49 to 2.
• Set CV51 , bit Oto Oto disable Horn Triggered Doppler; set to 1 to enable Horn
Triggered Doppler.
Changing Individual Sound Volumes (CV52.X 34)
To change the volume of individual sounds listed in the table below do the following35:
• Set CV49 to the Primary Index for the individual sound from the table below.
• Enter Volume level in CV52 as follows: "0" = No sound, "1 - 15" sets volume from
the lowest level at "1" to the highest at "15", with volume levels at 2db increments.
