BASIC DCC FUNCTIONS (continued)
GROUND LIGHTS and WALKWAY LIGHTS
The C44-9W 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 C44-9W 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
congured. 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.
