BASIC DCC FUNCTIONS (continued)
GROUND LIGHTS and WALKWAY LIGHTS
The AC4400 is equipped with lighted walkway lights and ground
lights to match the prototype railroad’s practice. These lights are
automatically controlled and come on during the Start Up cycle when
F8 is pressed. They will go off during the shutdown sequence when F8
is pressed to shut the locomotive down. NOTE: If F8 is used to mute
the sound during operation these lights will be turned off until the
sound is unmuted with F8.
ESU POWER PACK
Rivet Counter models come equipped with an ESU Power Pack energy
storage device built into the locomotive. These Power Pack devices
will work as a backup if the model looses power for a short period of
time. If your model is factory equipped with a Loksound decoder, if
one is installed later, or if you install a Lokpilot decoder, you will be
able to utilize the Power Pack circuit in your Rivet Counter AC4400
model. Non-ESU decoders cannot control the Power Pack and it does
not function on DC power or in DCC & Sound Ready models that do
not have an ESU decoder installed and properly congured. Please
remember, a Power Pack is a backup, not a battery. This is not an
excuse to never clean your track again! They must be charged using
track power to function and need track power to stay charged.
The time in which the caps bridge a power loss is adjusted by using
CV113. The default setting on most models is 32. This can be adjusted
up or down.
