Quick Start; Special Precautions - QSI Quantum Revolution-A User's Operation Manual

1. If you want to test, explore and appreciate the great sound and performance features offered in
the QSI before you familiarize yourself with the operations manual, then please review the
information listed below!
2. Observe Anti-Static Precautions!
3. Insure your test area is free of metal debris from sanding, filing, drilling etc is clean and well
lighted!
4. Familiarize yourself with the decoders DC/DCC Inputs, motor outputs and lighting outputs.
5. Connecting these incorrectly will most likely let the smoke out. See: Pg-7
6. Test the decoder before installing,
7. Use a decoder tester if you have one, if not you can use alligator clips to make the necessary
connections. This should be done with care to avoid possible inadvertent contact of the
alligator clips to each other that may short the decoder. Use tape to keep the
wires/connections from moving.
8. You can use a 12v-16v bulb to simulate the motor. Its intensity will vary according to your
throttle speed setting. Make sure your test speaker is 8 ohm.
9. After you are sure all your connections are correct and will not short connect your test set up to
either an HO, (10v-14v), DC or DCC Power Unit.
10. In DC you will need to increase the throttle to about 7v to fire up the sounds, etc
11. In DCC, select ADD=3, the factory default, and advance the throttle and the decoder will
function.
12. Test all lighting functions you may have connected.
13. After you are satisfied the decoder is operating properly then program as you wish.
1. Do not use too much heat when soldering. A 15 to 25
watt iron should do just fine.
2. Never touch the speaker wires together
3. Never touch the motor wires together
4. There are no in additional resistors required when using
LED's or 1.5v bulbs
Caution: The Revolution-A has been designed as a very thin circuit board to minimize
the height needed for installation. Please do not damage it by bending when installing
Caution: The Speaker terminals are close together – use care to avoid a solder
bridge between the pads when connecting the speaker wires!
