Tuning Your Sd 60/70'S Performance - Lionel SD 60/70 Owner's Manual

TrainMaster Command operations

Tuning your SD 60/70's performance

MOMENTUM
TrainMaster Command's momentum fea-
ture simulates the labored performance of a
locomotive pulling a heavy load. Press L, M,
or H (located under CAB-1's removable
panel) for light, medium, or heavy momen-
tum. The SD 60/70's R2LC remembers this
setting until you change it. For quick loco-
motive response, choose L.
BRAKING AND BOOSTING
There's more to starting and stopping
than just turning the CAB-1 throttle. Use the
BOOST and BRAKE command buttons—
they give you incremental control of speed
and are the superior way to handle grades,
gradual stops-and-starts, and more. Plus,
using BRAKE in the Command environment
gives you a bonus Railsounds effect—the
ultra realistic sound of squealing brakes.
(Railsounds upgrade required)
SOUND QUALITY
To achieve your preferred Railsounds
master volume level, we recommend you
adjust your SD 60/70 volume control set
screw (see page 5 for location). Turn the set
screw left or right to reach the desired vol-
ume level.
Note!
These settings will be lost when you assign a new engine ID number.
For quick remote-control of volume
below the master setting—for example,
muting—use the CAB-1 numeric keypad's
volume control. Press AUX1 and then 4 on
the numeric keypad to lower overall
Railsounds output.
HIGH VOLTAGE SETTING
Press SET, headlight will flash. Get your
locomotive moving to the maximum speed
you want it to run, press BOOST. Use this to
keep your locomotive from excess-speed
derailing. Turn off the high voltage setting
by pressing SET, then BOOST, holding each
for one second.
STALL
Make your SD 60/70 feel more responsive
by setting a "stall" voltage. Get your loco-
motive moving, then press SET; the SD
60/70 will stop. Turn the throttle clockwise
to get the locomotive moving, then decrease
speed until the locomotive just stops. Then
press SET again; the R2LC remembers the
stall setting until you change it. To clear
stall, press SET twice, holding it for one sec-
ond each time.
