AC Operation
Three modes:
1) Manual:
Choose an appropriate transformer, such as Lionel, MTH or MRC, for you needs and any
perceived future growth. The controller's polarity buttons will operate the
Whistle/Horn and Bell.
2) Manual Remote TMCC: While MTH offers a manual cabled remote,
most popular are either the
Lionel TMCC Cab-1 and Base Station or the
MTH Cab Control & Track Interface Unit, TIU.
A cable is required from the TIU to the Base Station to transfer the TMCC signals from TIU to TMCC.
Compatibility with a R2-LC receiver in the loco's Titan UCS along with the proper socket is included.
Looking for an R2-LC Receiver? Go to Electric RR and look under Products, Accessories.
Notes:
If 2 or more different QSI Titan UCS equipped locos are consisted together, they will act as one.
It is the Regulated Throttle Control (RTC) in conjunction with Inertia Control,
that smooths out any differences between locos so that all locos in a consist pull together instead of fighting one another.
Two or more locos or consists can be operated on the same TMCC controlled track at the same time.
Just supply the necessary power, even if it requires separate power blocks.
3) The UCS AC also is capable of functioning in DCC Service mode, for programming, updates, etc.
Not GWire compatible.
| DC Operation
Three methods
1) Manual:
Choose an appropriate controller, such as BRIDGEWERKS, for you needs and any
perceived future growth. The controller's polarity switch will operate the Whistle/Horn and bell.
2) Manual Remote: All BRIDGEWERKS Controllers marked as Remote Ready
have remote control capability of throttle.
Just plug in a BRIDGEWERKS RC-100 for a simple remote control throttle.
3) QARC with either of the above.
In DC/QSI's QARC, Titan Analog Remote Control:
Simple control of up to 18 different operations of 1 locomotive or consist, most of which
are not accessible by any other way other than DCC.
Notes:
If 2 or more different QSI Titan and/or Quantum equipped locos are consisted together, they will act as one.
It is the Regulated Throttle Control (RTC) in conjunction with Inertia Control,
that smooths out any differences between locos so that all locos in a consist pull together instead of fighting one another.
4) Operating with QARC requires 2 QSI products:
4a) A Quantum Engineer which creates the QARC Signals
4b) A Quantum Engineer Booster to pass the required power from
the Controller to the track with the QARC signals added.
The Booster also requires a separate, isolated
12 to 16 Volt AC or DC Power source good for 200 mAmps.
Wall plug-ins are acceptable.
Low Powered DC Controllers are acceptable.
When using multiple QE Boosters, a higher current plug-in is acceptable.
Ex: A 1 Amp plug-in will power up to 5 Quantum Engineer Boosters.
While 2 or more locos will act as one, are you looking for multiple trains control?
Will also operate in DCC, without or with a GWire receiver.
DCC modes supported are Service and Operations.
