Operator`s manual

l Call up address 3 on your DCC handheld and hit F3. The engine should

now start-up

l If you have performed the 55-55-55 reset and the engine still doesn't respond then

place the engine on the programming track output of your DCC system and

program a value of 3 to CV1. This will set the engine's short address to 3.

However, as long as the engine is NOT programmed as address 55 then the 55-55-

55 reset will always set the engine's long and short addresses back to their factory

defaults. It will also set the engine's addressing back to short (if you happened to

have CV29 set to long addressing)

The 55-55-55 Reset can be confusing at first but the main point to note is that you are

NOT setting the engine's address to 55 to perform the reset, you are just calling up

engine address 55 on your DCC handheld and sending a value of 55 to CV55. Again,

MTH engine's will listen to the 55-55-55 reset command even though the engine's

address isn't actually 55 (and it can't be for the 55-55-55 reset to work).

Advanced DCC Operation:

This section of the manual provides more in-depth detail on how to set up and

configure your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine using the NMRA-standard CV's as well as

the manufacturer-specific CV's. It also explains some of the other F Functions not

covered in the Basic DCC Operation section.

Additional F Functions

F15-F16–Idle Sequence

Pressing F15, or F16 twice (toggling on then off) will trigger an Idle Sequence if the

engine is not moving. These vary from engine to engine and may include things like

checking the coal load, checking the water level, using the Alemite grease gun on the

drivers, etc. When triggered, these will run through the sequence that varies in duration.

NOTE – The engine must be sitting still in order to trigger these

F17–Extended Start-Up

If your engine is shut down or you've just applied DCC power pressing F17 twice

(toggling it on then off) will start the Extended Start-Up

sounds. This is very similar to F3 except you will hear the crew talking back and forth

about getting the engine ready to run.

F18–Extended Shut-Down

If your engine is already up and running you can play

the Extended Shut Down sounds by pressing F18 twice (toggling on then off). The

Extended Shut Down is very similar to F3 in that the engine will ultimately shut down,

but in the case of Extended Shut Down you will hear the crew talking back and forth

about how the engine ran, time schedules, etc.
