Page 2: Installation Overview
Installation Overview Skills Your BigSound™ Handbook, which is included in your kit, has basic information for all our sound systems. These instructions apply specifically to Bachmann's Spectrum™ Climax. Using these two manuals, you will be able to successfully install the Phoenix BigSound™ system. We have customized our standard kit with components that fit neatly although snugly into the allotted space inside the coal tender. - Page 3 Preparing the Tender Opening the Tender All your kit components will fit into the coal tender shell. The first step is to remove the tender from the floor of the truck. On the top of the coal load near the front of the tender, there are two water valve crank handles that conceal two small holes on either side of the tender.

Modifying the Tender Trim down two plastic tabs in the coal spill area inside the tender shell to accommodate the speaker. Trim enough to allow the speaker to clear this area when the shell is in place. The leading rim of the speaker extends into the corresponding coal spill area on the tender floor. - Page 5 Place the speaker cone down with the mounting holes toward the back of the tender. Locate the two small square holes on the floorboard slats close to the back. Align the back edge of the speaker rim with the floorboard groove that runs through the holes.

Page 6: Installing The Battery
Installing the BigSound™ Board The board is installed against the back wall inside the tender shell near the water fill hole. It fits in this spot perfectly. It may be awkward with all the wires connected to the sound board, but just take your time. - Page 7 Modifications for Wiring to the Cylinder Contacts CAUTION: THIS PROCEDURE MAY VOID YOUR BACHMANN WARRANTY! When operated “as-received,” the switches are wired in series and would not produce the chuff pattern. We have tried our rewiring method on several Climax engines with good success. Before beginning the system must be configured to derive speed from a trigger.
- Page 8 Cut the wire to an appropriate finished length, strip and tin the end, and solder it to the outside pin of the fireman’s cylinder box. Once you have switch contacts that work, you will be getting two chuffs per revolution of the crankshaft. The chuffs will have an uneven pattern because of the quartering of the two flywheels.
- Page 9 Bell and Whistle Reed Switches You can install the reed switches to activate the bell and whistle via track magnets by gluing them to the brake beams on the front and rear of the back power truck. They will fit into the slot of the brake beams better if you file flats on two opposite sides of each reed switch.
