Stage Two: Standby
To enter "Standby," double-press the F9 key while in Disconnect, and you will hear a long air release, followed by a
distinctive "low idle" sound. The directional lighting and optional ditch lights or mars light will also shut down.
Note
: In Standby, the motor will remain disconnected, while the air pumps, automatic cooling fans, number board lights
and cab lights will continue to operate. Also in Standby, the locomotive will not
respond to throttle or function keys with the following exceptions: The F6 Start Up Key, the F8 Mute Key (described
below) and the F10 Status Key (also described below).
To exit Standby, either double-press the F6 Start Up Key (as described in the Start Up section), or double-press the F9
key again to access Total Shut Down, the final stage of Shut Down
Note:
Standby is ideal for leaving your locomotive running on a siding. In addition to hearing the sound of the diesel at
low idle, the locomotive will not respond to accidental changes in throttle settings or function keys.
Stage Three: Total Shut Down
Total Shut Down allows you to take the locomotive "off line" (turn off sounds and
lights, ignore throttle settings and function commands) independent of the operating session. Note that the locomotive
will still be "off-line" when power is next reapplied, regardless of whether the next session is analog (conventional DC),
.
or DCC
Double press the F9 in Standby to enter Total Shut Down. You will hear a Long Air Let-off. The Air Pumps will turn off,
followed by the Number Boards (if so equipped) and the sounds of the Cooling Fans shutting off, the louvers closing,
the Diesel Motor shutting down and finally, the Cab Lights (if so equipped) turning off. A few seconds later you will hear
the engineer's door open and then shut.
Note: In Total Shut Down, the locomotive will not respond to the throttle – nor will it respond to function keys except for
the F6 Start Up Key (described below) and the F10 Status Key (also described below). 17 of 28
To exit Total Shut Down, double-press the F6 key.
Note: If power is turned off at any stage of Shut Down (Disconnect, Standby or Total Shut Down) or during a Shut
Down procedure, the locomotive will remember the last Shut Down stage it was at during power down, and the
locomotive will power up in the same stage.
However, if Start Up is initiated during any of the above Shut Down procedures, the Shut Down is aborted,
and the locomotive will return to normal operation.
Start Up
You can return your Quantum Revolution-equipped diesel locomotive to normal operation during any stage of
Shut Down by double-pressing the F6 key. Start Up will be different for each stage of Shut Down,
normal each will start up with a long air release, and will operation.
Start Up from Disconnect: Double-press the F6 key in Disconnect, and the diesel locomotive will produce a long
air release, the dynamic brakes will shut off and the locomotive will enter normal operation.
Start Up from Standby: Double-press the F6 key in Standby, and your diesel will produce a long air release,
directional lighting will turn on, the diesel motor sound will change from special low Idle to regular Idle, and the
locomotive will enter normal operation.
Start Up from Total Shut Down:
Double-press the F6 key in Total Shut Down, and the locomotive will produce a long air release, you will hear the cab
door opening and closing, and if so equipped, you'll see the cab lights and number boards come on and the directional
lighting turn on (if it was on previously). These actions are followed by the sounds of vents opening, the diesel motor
starting up, the air pumps starting up and the locomotive's entering normal operation.
Note: During the Start Up procedure, no DCC function keys are active. However, in the event the throttle is
advanced beyond zero during any of the above Start Up procedures, the Start Up procedure will abort and the
locomotive will enter normal operation.
