Odyssey System operations

Odyssey System Command Control operation
W hen the Odyssey System is activated, changes in the speed of the locomotives will
correspond to each signal from the Command Base. For example, when you address the
locomotive and slowly turn the throttle knob, the first flash of the light on the Command Base
corresponds to the first speed step, which is the slowest speed of the locomotive. The locomotive
will maintain that speed until you increase or decrease the throttle.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you can use your CAB-1 Remote
Controller to turn the Odyssey System on or off. The position of the Odyssey System switch (see
Figure 1 on page 7) is the Odyssey System default setting when you power up the locomotives.
You can override the default setting with the following commands. The override settings will be
cleared and the default setting will be restored when you power down the locomotive.
Do not wait longer than two or three seconds between pushing the buttons in each sequence.
If the command is not accepted, repeat the sequence.
The locomotives must be in “neutral” when you enable or disable the Odyssey
System.
Turn off the Odyssey System.
When you press 7, you will trigger a TowerCom announcement. This has no impact
on the Odyssey System function.
Turn on the Odyssey System.
When you press 9, you will activate the Air release sound and turn on the smoke unit
(if it was off). This has no impact on the Odyssey System.
