QSI Quantum Revolution-A User's Operation Manual page 4

Congratulations; you are now the delighted owner of the Quantum Revolution, the most advanced sound decoder
on this planet. With this decoder you will have access to 8-channel, high fidelity sound, as well as the most
sophisticated motor drive and lighting effects ever combined into one unit. The addition of the Quantum
Programmer (MSRP $99.95) makes the Revolution the most easily customized sound decoder available – period!
Follow the procedures outlined in the following, and you'll soon discover that this decoder is simply, well...
Revolutionary!
For a long time, those of us in the model railroad "sound world" were stuck with whatever horn, whistle, air
pump, chuff and bell the manufacturer decided was suitable. As a result, most of us, at one time or another,
thought something like: "Well, I really like the exhaust sound, but man, that horn is terrible." The QSI Revolution
obsoletes ALL such limitations. Simply tell us what you want when you order your decoder, and we'll program it for
you before we ship it! Further, with the Quantum Programmer, you can add or change whatever sounds (and
more) you want, whenever you want. So read on – and join the Revolution!
1: 8-Channel Sound – enabling multiple sounds to play at one time.
2: 6 Lighting Outputs, with many programmable settings, including:
Headlight/Tail Light
Fire Box Flicker
Front and Rear Mars Light
Front and Rear Ditch Light
Front and Rear Number Board Light
Cab Light
Exclusive: All lighting outputs support 256 intensity levels for "Revolutionary" brightness control!
3: Motor Control RTC (Regulated Throttle Control/BEMF) – for supreme low - speed performance, smooth
acceleration, braking, and incomparable power - sharing between locomotives in consists. (Have you
ever dared to try and prototypically consist a helper at the rear of a train? RTC makes it possible.)
4: Load-responsive exhaust sounds.
5: Verbal CV, speed and status reporting.
6: Sound-of-Power (see section 4a for a full description of this feature) for even more control over
exhaust sounds.
7: Dual-mode operation – designed to run on DC or DCC.
8: Advanced AnalogŒ: All sound features available in DCC are available in DC using
the Quantum Engineer add-on controller (sold separately) to your DC power pack.
9: All Quantum 2 products can be upgraded with new sounds and software from the QSI Solutions
website using the Quantum ProgrammerΠ(sold separately). This keeps your revolutionary sound
system perpetually up-to-date with new features, improvements and sounds. You might say we've obsoleted
obsolescence!
10: Simple installation. Two, distinct decoder formats means most locomotives will be
accept either of the following decoders:
Revolution-A: For all locomotives that have an Atlas or Kato style board, and
Revolution-U: For generic wired-style loco's with/without the 8-pin NMRA Socket and/or a 9-pin Quick Plug.
