Where "X" is the current value of the Program Option. Defaults are shown in parenthesis next to the option name; defaults for volume levels are listed on the Electric Model
Specification sheet included with your locomotive.
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.
Within five seconds of powering up, turn on the Bell
3.
Within three seconds of the Bell turning on, turn the bell
4.
Within three seconds, turn 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 will 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 will hear "Enter Programming"
and the Headlight and Reverse Lights 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 again
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 switch
26
. 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 volume
Note: Entering a Program Option does not change the settings for that option; it only provides information about its current value. After entering the
Program Option, additional Slow or Quick flip-and-back operations will program new settings as described in the above table. For all level adjustments, a
Quick operation will decrease one level while a Slow operation will increase one level.
Note: Since "System Volume" is the first Program Option, you can use Quick or Slow operations 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. Quantum will first return to and announce the current
Program Option and then automatically advance to on to higher options.
Exit Programming anytime you want by turning the power off and back on again.
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 engine by turning the Bell on, then off and then on as described above.
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 hear the announcement "Option 1, 2, 3 ... etc.". Stop when you hear "ten" by moving the direction
switch back. You will hear "Throttle Mode".
23
If your locomotive does not have the Bell feature, you will only hear a single bell ding to indicate you have entered the Bell state.
24
If your locomotive does not have the Bell feature, you will hear a double ding to indicate you have left the Bell State.
25
If you have a Quantum Engineer, you can move both back and forth through Program Options.
26
If you have a Quantum Engineer, Quick and Slow operations are done with specific program buttons.

Setting any volume in Analog will also apply to DCC and vice-versa.
