loco’s speed. Turning counter-clockwise will decrease its speed until 0. Continuing to turn
counter-clockwise will reverse the loco’s direction. Continuing to turn counter-clockwise
will increase the loco’s speed in the reverse. Turning clockwise will decrease its speed
in the reverse until 0. Continuing to turn clockwise will change the loco’s direction from
reverse to forward.
Fast Clock
To view the fast clock, press TIME. The time will replace the address display on the LCD.
You can still run the current loco while the time is displayed. To return to the loco address
display, press TIME again. The time
information is stored in the base unit and
transmitted to the Cab. Each Cab displays
the same time.
The LCD display shows the time as
8:02AM. The current loco is moving forward
at a speed of 102.
Overload and Short Circuit
The base unit is rated at 3.5 amps. It is up
to you to note how many locos and lighted passenger cars can be run on the layout at the
same time without triggering the circuit protector. If there is an overload or short circuit,
the base unit will stop Main Track output for 2 seconds then resume. Please remove
the overload or short circuit for proper operation. When operating larger layouts with
numerous locos and accessories being operated at the same time or when running 2-rail
“O” or “G” scales, you may need a DCC power booster. We recommend you use MRC
Power Booster (0001521) to boost your DCC layout.
NOTE: Do not use the base unit or power supply to power accessories.
Shutting Down the Prodigy Advance
2
Bring all locos to a stop, then turn the power switch to the “O” position before unplugging
the AC adapter from the AC outlet. This will allow the base unit to store the current
running information, for the next session.
CAB SETUP
Setting Cab Addresses
You can use up to 99 Cabs with the Prodigy Advance
2
. Each Cab must have a unique
address. Any Cab you purchase has the factory default address #1. Cab #1 is the Master
Cab that can perform all functions. Any additionally purchased Cabs are also Master Cabs
and must have their addresses changed from #1 to their own unique addresses. Keep
all cab addresses in numerical order. Never skip a cab address. Doing so can result in a
cab not responding properly.
NOTE: Do not duplicate Cab addresses.
To view your Cab address, press SYS and 6. The current Cab address will momentarily
display. If you wish to change it, enter a new address (1-99) followed by ENTER.
Otherwise, press ENTER to exit. Do not duplicate Cab addresses.
Setting the Total Number of Operational Cabs (Master Cab Only)
The more Cabs in use at one time, the slower the system response is from cab to loco
because the base unit can communicate with only one Cab at a time. Setting the total
number of operational Cabs will speed up your Cab’s response time.
