==Overview==
 +
Bachmann’s all new DCC sound-equipped SC-44 Charger uses Siemen Mobility’s original design documentation and sound files. This model includes a TCS WOWSound® CD-Quality 16-bit 44,100Hz decoder with Audio Assist® for easy configuration without programming CVs and a Keep-Alive® device for uninterrupted operation, even over dirty track. The WOWSound® diesel-electric locomotive sound package includes horn, bell, prime mover, start-up/shutdown, compressor, cooling fan, coupler close/release, brake release and application, crew alert, grade crossing quill, departing and arriving station announcements, and more. Loaded with prototypical features, the Charger brings all the sights and sounds of Siemen’s diesel electric locomotive to your layout.
 +
 +

==Charger only Features==
 +
(ADD A YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE DEMONSTRATING THESE FEATURES?)
 +
The SC-44 Charger locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh”, “Station announcements” as well as new traction noises such as “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox.
 +
Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the prime mover spools up and the Charger takes off, as the locomotive gains speed the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums speedily as the Charger reaches 125MPH!
 +
 +
The Charger also features a fully functional emergency strobe light for more fun prototype operation.
 +
Send your DCC system into emergency and the engine will immediately stop and turn on the red strobe. Additionally you can also “emergency brake” by hitting the train brake on full (5x) The train will come to a quick stop and turn on the strobe.
 +
As a bonus the Emergency strobe light also works in conjunction with the “Crew Alert” Feature. Enable the crew alert feature and the Emergency strobe will come on when the crew alert timer expires. The Crew Alert features acts as a “dead mans” switch. If no user input is received after a set amount of time the alarm will sound giving the user short amount of time to enter input or else the train will go into emergency, brake, and come to a stop with the red emergency strobe flashing!
 +
 +
Prototypical strobe operation!
 +
Per section 1.4.12 of the Siemens manual the strobe lights will come automatically when certain conditions are met. The white strobes flash while the ditch lights are on (including when the ditch lights are flashing) and the headlights are switched to full illumination.
 +
To simulate this TCS has implemented automatic and manual control modes of the white strobe lights, the factory default is automatic mode (CV182 bit 7 is set/on)
 +
In automatic mode the white strobe lights will behave as described in the Siemens manual section 1.4.12 while the strobe button is activated on the throttle (default is F5) If Function 5 is turned on the strobe lights will turn on only if both the headlight and ditch lights are on.
 +
If function 5 is turned off the strobe light will turned off no matter what the state is of the headlight and ditch lights.
 +
In manual strobe control mode (CV182 bit 7 is cleared/off) the white strobe lights are only controlled by the throttle button and the headlight and ditch light status has no effect on the white strobes.
 +
 +
The SC-44 charger is at its heart a WOWDiesel decoder but has had some customization to make it specific to the SC-44 Charger locomotive. The information below details where CV’s and operation differ from the standard Diesel decoder.
 +
 +
DC mode operation
 +
In DC mode the locomotive will sit still until a sufficient amount of track voltage is present, at which point it will start to move and will sound a directional horn blast and sound the bell.  A grade crossing horn quill can be sounded by “flicking” the throttle voltage up and back down quickly. The directional horn blasts, quill, and automatic DC mode bell are enabled by default and are controlled by the Automatic Sounds CV.
 +
Additional Sound Features
 +
 +
The SC-44 Charger locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh”, “Station announcements” as well as new traction noises such as “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox.
 +
Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the prime mover spools up and the Charger takes off, as the locomotive gains speed the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums speedily as the Charger reaches 125MPH!
 +
The Charger also supports an Automatic Bell in DCC mode, after the locomotive starts the bell will play until the DCC mode automatic Bell cutout speed step is reached. See the Charger Sound CV Addendum for more information.
 +
New Lighting Features
 +
 +
The Charger features a fully functional emergency strobe light for more fun prototype operation.
 +
Send your DCC system into emergency and the engine will immediately stop and turn on the red strobe. Additionally you can also “emergency brake” by hitting the train brake on full (5x) The train will come to a quick stop and turn on the strobe.
 +
As a bonus the Emergency strobe light also works in conjunction with the “Crew Alert” Feature. Enable the crew alert feature and the Emergency strobe will come on when the crew alert timer expires. The Crew Alert features acts as a “dead mans” switch. If no user input is received after a set amount of time the alarm will sound giving the user short amount of time to enter input or else the train will go into emergency, brake, and come to a stop with the red emergency strobe flashing!
 +
 +
==Button Mappings==
 +
The Charger locomotive supports "Function Pagination" - This makes it easy to access all 28 functions and all lighting effects even with limited throttles by adding an offset to the pressed function button (offset of 10 for function page 2, offset of 20 for function page 3)
 +
For example:
 +
* Press function 8 twice to rotate through the pages until the decoder announces "Function page two"
 +
* Press function 5
 +
* The decoder will activate function 5 + 10(page 2 offset) = 15
 +
(Note the decoder still supports accessing function 15 by pressing F15 on your throttle regardless of the function page its on)

Overview

Bachmann’s all new DCC sound-equipped SC-44 Charger uses Siemen Mobility’s original design documentation and sound files. This model includes a TCS WOWSound® CD-Quality 16-bit 44,100Hz decoder with Audio Assist® for easy configuration without programming CVs and a Keep-Alive® device for uninterrupted operation, even over dirty track. The WOWSound® diesel-electric locomotive sound package includes horn, bell, prime mover, start-up/shutdown, compressor, cooling fan, coupler close/release, brake release and application, crew alert, grade crossing quill, departing and arriving station announcements, and more. Loaded with prototypical features, the Charger brings all the sights and sounds of Siemen’s diesel electric locomotive to your layout.

Features include:

  • Siemens-approved design
  • DCC sound-equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control
  • TCS true CD quality audio in 16-bit 44,100Hz sound
  • Keep-Alive® device that keeps your engine running during power interruptions due to dirty track or loss of electrical contact
  • voice-guided Audio Assist® programming tool for easy set-up of almost all decoder functionality
  • dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder
  • directional headlights
  • interior corridor work lights
  • roof-mounted strobe lights, per prototype
  • marker lights
  • steady/alternate flashing ditch lights
  • die-cast frame
  • separately applied windshield wipers, grab irons and detail parts

Charger only Features

(ADD A YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE DEMONSTRATING THESE FEATURES?) The SC-44 Charger locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh”, “Station announcements” as well as new traction noises such as “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox. Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the prime mover spools up and the Charger takes off, as the locomotive gains speed the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums speedily as the Charger reaches 125MPH!

The Charger also features a fully functional emergency strobe light for more fun prototype operation. Send your DCC system into emergency and the engine will immediately stop and turn on the red strobe. Additionally you can also “emergency brake” by hitting the train brake on full (5x) The train will come to a quick stop and turn on the strobe. As a bonus the Emergency strobe light also works in conjunction with the “Crew Alert” Feature. Enable the crew alert feature and the Emergency strobe will come on when the crew alert timer expires. The Crew Alert features acts as a “dead mans” switch. If no user input is received after a set amount of time the alarm will sound giving the user short amount of time to enter input or else the train will go into emergency, brake, and come to a stop with the red emergency strobe flashing!

Prototypical strobe operation! Per section 1.4.12 of the Siemens manual the strobe lights will come automatically when certain conditions are met. The white strobes flash while the ditch lights are on (including when the ditch lights are flashing) and the headlights are switched to full illumination. To simulate this TCS has implemented automatic and manual control modes of the white strobe lights, the factory default is automatic mode (CV182 bit 7 is set/on) In automatic mode the white strobe lights will behave as described in the Siemens manual section 1.4.12 while the strobe button is activated on the throttle (default is F5) If Function 5 is turned on the strobe lights will turn on only if both the headlight and ditch lights are on. If function 5 is turned off the strobe light will turned off no matter what the state is of the headlight and ditch lights. In manual strobe control mode (CV182 bit 7 is cleared/off) the white strobe lights are only controlled by the throttle button and the headlight and ditch light status has no effect on the white strobes.

The SC-44 charger is at its heart a WOWDiesel decoder but has had some customization to make it specific to the SC-44 Charger locomotive. The information below details where CV’s and operation differ from the standard Diesel decoder.

DC mode operation In DC mode the locomotive will sit still until a sufficient amount of track voltage is present, at which point it will start to move and will sound a directional horn blast and sound the bell. A grade crossing horn quill can be sounded by “flicking” the throttle voltage up and back down quickly. The directional horn blasts, quill, and automatic DC mode bell are enabled by default and are controlled by the Automatic Sounds CV. Additional Sound Features

The SC-44 Charger locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh”, “Station announcements” as well as new traction noises such as “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox. Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the prime mover spools up and the Charger takes off, as the locomotive gains speed the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums speedily as the Charger reaches 125MPH! The Charger also supports an Automatic Bell in DCC mode, after the locomotive starts the bell will play until the DCC mode automatic Bell cutout speed step is reached. See the Charger Sound CV Addendum for more information. New Lighting Features

The Charger features a fully functional emergency strobe light for more fun prototype operation. Send your DCC system into emergency and the engine will immediately stop and turn on the red strobe. Additionally you can also “emergency brake” by hitting the train brake on full (5x) The train will come to a quick stop and turn on the strobe. As a bonus the Emergency strobe light also works in conjunction with the “Crew Alert” Feature. Enable the crew alert feature and the Emergency strobe will come on when the crew alert timer expires. The Crew Alert features acts as a “dead mans” switch. If no user input is received after a set amount of time the alarm will sound giving the user short amount of time to enter input or else the train will go into emergency, brake, and come to a stop with the red emergency strobe flashing!

Button Mappings

The Charger locomotive supports "Function Pagination" - This makes it easy to access all 28 functions and all lighting effects even with limited throttles by adding an offset to the pressed function button (offset of 10 for function page 2, offset of 20 for function page 3) For example:

  • Press function 8 twice to rotate through the pages until the decoder announces "Function page two"
  • Press function 5
  • The decoder will activate function 5 + 10(page 2 offset) = 15

(Note the decoder still supports accessing function 15 by pressing F15 on your throttle regardless of the function page its on)
