TrainMaster Command Control operations
Tuning your locomotive set’s performance
T rainMaster Command Control allows you to fine-tune the performance of your locomotive
set. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to make these adjustments.
These settings will be lost if you assign a new ID#.
Momentum
The TrainMaster Command Control momentum feature simulates the labored performance
of a locomotive pulling a light, moderate, or heavy load. Press L, M, or H (located under the
removable panel on the CAB-1 Remote Controller) to adjust the momentum setting. For quicker
response to your commands, press L. Your locomotive set will keep this setting until it is
changed.
Adjusting the speed
The BRAKE and BOOST buttons give you incremental control of your locomotive’s speed
while you press and hold these buttons, allowing you to make small, gradual adjustments
around curves and over grades. The locomotive set will resume its initial speed when the
buttons are released. Listen for the squeal of your locomotives’ brakes when you use the
BRAKE button.
Sound quality
Press AUX1, 1 or 4 on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to raise and lower the overall volume
of the RailSounds sound system. To limit your locomotives’ volume, we recommend that you
adjust your locomotives’ volume control knob (see Figure 3 on page 10 for the location).
Setting the maximum speed
You may use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to set your locomotives’ maximum speed. This
will prevent the locomotive set from derailing as a result of excessive speed.
Perform this procedure on both units simultaneously if you will be running them
together.
1. With both Command reverse unit switches in the RUN position, address your locomotive set
by pressing TR and the lash-up ID#.
2. Press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller. The headlight will flash.
3. Get your locomotive set moving at your desired maximum speed.
4. Press BOOST.
The maximum voltage has been set. To clear this setting, press SET and then BOOST,
holding each button for one second. To set the maximum speed of an individual unit, address
the locomotive using ENG and the unique locomotive ID#.
