Troubleshooting Guide
If there are six locomotives on the layout, and locomotive seven is
dispatched will another locomotive drop off so locomotive seven can
have sound? Or will I have to manually dispatch it?
SurroundTraxx can have up to six locomotives dispatched at a time. If a
seventh locomotive is running though the layout, SurroundTraxx will not
dispatch it until one of the other six locomotives is retired. At that time
SurroundTraxx will dispatch the seventh locomotive. A good way to make
sure your favorite locomotive always has sound is to manually dispatch it
which reserves one of the six slots strictly for that locomotive.
How many locomotives can be stored in the SurroundTraxx memory
base at a time?
The Roundhouse in SurroundTraxx can hold up to 99 locomotives at a time.
You can also delete and add locomotives as you choose, making it easy to
add a visiting piece of equipment to your pike.
Will SurroundTraxx play sound for more than one locomotive in a
sound zone at the same time?
Yes, SurroundTraxx tracks each locomotive around the layout, therefore it will
produce sound for each of the six locomotives regardless of if they are all in
the same zone or spread throughout the layout. This can make some really
cool effects as trains pass each other on the main.
Can I have more than six sound zones?
There are only six sound zones available per SurroundTraxx system. If more
then six sound zones are desired then the addition of another SurroundTraxx
system is required.
Is there a limit to the number of SurroundTraxx systems I can link
together?
No, you may, however, want to have more than one subwoofer if you get
beyond two SurroundTraxx systems in a layout.
Is I have more than one SurroundTraxx system, can I move the
Roundhouse information from one system to another?
No, you will have to manually enter the settings into each system.
