QUOTE: Originally posted by trains0nline Amtrak Jack The A&D outputs of the new ZW are controlled by the Cab 1 when the Command Base is connected and turned on. With the Command Base connected and on, the A&D handles will always start at zreo volts regardless of the handle settings. My startup sequence is as follows: 1: Turn on main power which turns on Command Base first. 2: Turn on the 180s manually. My A handle is always set at 16-18v 3: Select TR 1 on Cab 1 and turn the red knob to the right to bring the track voltage up to the level of the handle. NOTE: the engine lights are the only thing to come on as the track voltage is ramped up via the Cab 1. 4: Select Eng # and boost. The sounds come on. 5: Turn red knob and away you go.[8D]
