IMPORTANT – Ensure your pantographs are NOT locked down like they would be
for shipment prior to pantograph operation.
Manual operation using DCS requires DCS Software Version 3.1 or later which can be
downloaded for free from www.mthtrains.com . DCS systems using software versions
3.0 or earlier will only have automatic pantograph operation when running under DCS
command mode.
If you are using the pantographs for picking up power from an operating overhead
centenary system in lieu of track power through the center rail pickup rollers, be sure
that at least one of the pantographs is in contact with the cantenary at all times. If both
pantographs lose contact with the overhead cantenary, the engine will lose power and
not operate until one of the pantographs remakes contact with the cantenary or the
selector switch is moved back to the track position.
