NCE Pro Cab Throttle - Scale Time
Posted by bagman on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 8:58 PM

Hi there

I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what ratio the scale time is that is displayed on the NCE throttle ?

Is it 10:1 or something similar ?

Is it possible to re-set the fast-clock on the throttle ?

Thank you in advance for your replies

 

cheers

bagman,

I assume you're talking about the fast clock?  As David already stated, it should be in your Pro Cab manual.

That's correct.

I must be blind......can't see any mention hence my post.

Have to take another look.

cheers

 It's page 65 of the old PH Pro manual, section "Setting the Clock". There's no mention of the clock in the smaller ProCab manual other than to mention what button code it is. Probably only in the system manual because the cab itself can't be a clock, it needs the command station.

After checking the NCE website, both the PowerHouse Pro and PowerCab manuals show how to set the system clock time and fast clock ratio.  Default ratio for the clock should be 1:1.  The display screen on the ProCab will walk you through setting and adjusting the clock step by step.

Google is good! Yahoo is my friend.

Hi guys

Thank you all for your replies.

After going back to my manual, sure enough as you all pointed out, there were the instructions clearly printed.

I must need new glasses !!

Sorry for wasting your time

cheers
