Speed Control - M.T.H. Electric Trains HO 4-8-4 GS-4 Betriebsanleitung

DCS Digital Control System
As you may have gathered by now, DCS is an MTH exclusive Digital Control System
that provides easy access to dozens and dozens of features in our models. We
developed DCS to provide a powerful and advanced model train control system that
was simple and enjoyable to use. We've accomplished that goal. DCS further
expands the features available far beyond that of DCC. After all, in DCC, we only
had a limited number of "F" commands to fill.
As with DCC, we'll leave the detailed "how-to" system explanations to the DCS
system manuals. What you should know are all the cool features your engine has
built-in, waiting for you to experience.
Running the Engine
Set the Engine on the track and once the DCS system is connected to your track and
powered up by an AC Power Supply (depending upon which model type you have),
simply press "ADD ENG" and the system will scan the track and automatically
upload your engine into the controller. At this point, you can press "START UP",
roll the throttle and pull out! That's it!

Speed Control

DCS engines are controlled in scale miles per hour (smph) and increments of one.
So, that means if you dial up 10, you engine will smoothly accelerate to 10 smph.
There is no need to select a speed step setting, there's only one precise linear control
at scale speeds. See, powerful yet simple.
Sounds
Introducing the ultimate in prototypical operation Proto-Whistle. Your new GS-4/6
includes this amazing feature. It allows you to adjust the pitch of the steam whistle
just like you were sitting the cab pulling the whistle rope yourself. This new feature is
controllable from either your DCS Commander or with your DCS system with
software version 4.0 or greater (see your DCS or DCS Commander instruction
manual for specifics on how to operate this feature)
Not only that but your GS-4/6 also has a Grade Crossing Whistle Feature. So just like
the real engine, with the push of a single button, you can trigger the Grade Crossing
Whistle. To trigger the Grade Crossing Whistle press the A3 button on your DCS
Commander or the SXS softkey on your DCS Remote Handheld.
Independent Volume Settings
Using DCS, you independently adjust the bell, whistle, engine, and accent sounds
volume. This is like a mixer so you can set up the engine fit your specific tastes and
sense of realism. Oh, they all move relatively up or down with the master volume
settings.
