Mode d'emploi
The Athearn HO SD60E locomotive is designed for use with both DC (Direct Current) and DCC (Digital Command Control) systems. Refer to your power system's manual for specific control methods.
- Fonctionnement en courant continu :
Apply power gradually to the track. The locomotive will begin to move as voltage increases. Direction can be changed by reversing the polarity of the track voltage.
- DCC Operation:
This locomotive is equipped with a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder. Consult your DCC system's manual for programming and operating functions. The decoder allows for independent control of speed, direction, lighting, and sound features.
- Boutons de fonction : Utilize your DCC controller's function buttons to activate features such as horn, bell, ditchlights, and other sound effects.
- Contrôle de vitesse : Use the throttle to control the locomotive's speed. The Tsunami2 decoder provides smooth, realistic acceleration and deceleration.
- Éclairage: The lit numberboards and illuminated ditchlights will activate automatically with power or can be controlled via DCC functions.
Entretien
Un entretien régulier garantit la longévité et les performances optimales de votre locomotive.
- Nettoyage des roues : Periodically clean the locomotive's wheels with a soft cloth and a specialized track cleaner. Dirty wheels can impair electrical pickup and cause erratic operation.
- Nettoyage des pistes : Keep your track clean. Dust and dirt on the rails can lead to poor electrical contact and reduced performance.
- Lubrification: Refer to Athearn's official maintenance guides for specific lubrication points and recommended lubricants. Over-lubrication can attract dust and cause issues.
- Stockage: Lorsqu'elle n'est pas utilisée, rangez la locomotive dans son emballage d'origine ou dans un étui de protection afin d'éviter l'accumulation de poussière et les dommages.
