Always Available QSI Products

1) ACS-730 PowerGuard: $86. $79 with purchase of any QSI Sound System.

This is a 1 time paid up lifetime investment in the protection of all your electronic equipped locos, regardless of brand.
Protect all your locos' electronics from transformer generated spikes.
Required for the STR 1 year warranty coverage of sold or repaired sound boards and power supplies.

Every time there is a power interruption while your loco is running, the transformer generates one or many more spikes. Interruptions are occurring when you see sparks, however there are more subtle ones also, such as in roller bounce, dirty track, crossing switches and crosstracks that the QSI unit also suppresses.

Post War transforms can easily generate 45 Volt spikes and the new electronically regulated transformers can generate 90 Volt spikes. QSI's Power Guard nips them in the bud, reducing them to a harmless value.

Has positive and negative Voltage display lights, a spike detector light and a load in-out switch. Can be very helpful during Programming to provide an additional load to enable the micro Processor to "see" the current signals as Voltage signals.
The display lights give a qualitative sense of the amount of Voltage on the track, and also show the shift when + (Horn/Whistle) or - (Bell) bias signals are present.

Power Guard connects with 2 wires, Orange to the Center Rail Power and Brown to the Common rail anywhere between the transformer and the track
When using Power Programmer, SideKick II, DCS or TMCC, the "Transformer connections" are moved to the output of the device connected to the track.


If a Power Programmer is one of these devices, make sue that it is the one that connects to the track. That saves you from having to add a redundant unit, i.e. a PowerGuard as one is built into the Power Programmer.

See Page 125, -6 of the revised QS-3000 manual. See 2b below.
