Tuning your non-powered locomotive's performance

T
rainMaster Command Control allows you to fine-tune the performance of your non-powered
locomotive. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to make these adjustments. See page 12.
Note!
These settings will be lost if you assign a new ID#.
RPM RUN LEVEL
Your locomotive has eight levels of RPM sounds, corresponding to the eight run levels in a real
diesel locomotive. The three ways in which you can control your locomotive's RPM sounds are
discussed below.
Automatic RPM Mode
In Automatic RPM Mode, your locomotive's RPM run level is controlled by movements of the
throttle on your CAB-1 Remote Controller. A small clockwise motion of the throttle knob will cause
the RPM sounds to ramp up one run level, while a small counter-clockwise motion of the throttle
knob will cause the RPM sounds to ramp down one run level.
While the locomotive is ramping between run levels, it will ignore additional throttle movements.
Once the RPMs have finished ramping to the next run level, additional throttle motions will again
trigger another RPM ramp. This feature will allow you to "fine-tune" your RPM run level, regardless
of the locomotive's speed, using only the throttle knob. This mode is the default setting for your
locomotive on power up.
Manual RPM Mode
In Manual RPM Mode, you can set your locomotive's RPM run level to a constant value by
pressing the AUX1, 3 or AUX1, 6 key sequences on your CAB-1 Remote Controller. When your
locomotive is in this mode, its RPM run level will not vary with throttle movements or with the speed
of the locomotive.
To enter Manual RPM Mode, press the AUX1, 3 key sequence while the locomotive is stopped, or
press either the AUX1, 3 or AUX1, 6 key sequence while the locomotive is moving. Pressing AUX1,
3 will cause your locomotive to enter Manual RPM Mode and ramp up one RPM run level; pressing
AUX1, 6 will cause your locomotive to enter Manual RPM Mode and ramp down one RPM run level.
You may then press the 3 or 6 key additional times to ramp your locomotive's RPMs through all the
run levels. Once you set your locomotive's RPM run level it will remain there until you change it with
the 3 or 6 keys, or until you exit Manual RPM Mode.
You may cause your locomotive to exit Manual RPM Mode in several ways: reset the locomotive
with AUX1, 0 key sequence; enter the shutdown sequence with the AUX1, 5 key sequence; or turn off
the track power and allow the locomotive to reset.
Speed RPM Mode
In Speed RPM Mode, your locomotive's RPM run level is controlled only by the actual speed of the
locomotive.
