<p class="MsoNormal">Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are a few notes for Analog / DC operation for Fair (1<sup>st</sup> shift on Wednesdays).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the current analog operating Cab state:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 1 (left side of Dispatch panel) – Operational.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 2 (right side of Dispatch panel) – Operational.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 3 (Passenger yard panel, handheld mobile controller) – Operational.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 4 (handheld mobile controller) – Operational.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 5 (handheld mobile controller) – Operational.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Cab 6 (handheld mobile controller) – Inoperative.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is one working handheld controller currently plugged into the connection ports for Cab 3, 4, and 5.
<u>It is very important that each controller remain with it’s assigned cab</u>. You may move the handheld controller to another connection port of the same number, but do not connect the controller to a different cab. In other words, always keep the Cab 3 handheld
with a Cab 3 port, the Cab 4 handheld with a Cab 4 port, and the Cab 5 handheld with a Cab 5 port.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason for this is that some years ago, MRC changed the wiring for the handheld controllers. If you plug in a new-style controller into an old-style power pack (or and vice versa), the rotating speed control knob will behave backwards
(full clockwise produces 0 speed and full counter-clockwise will be full speed). Unfortunately, the handheld controllers themselves look identical. We have a mix of old-style and new-style power packs. I’ve sorted out the controllers to work with their specific
Cabs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the easiest thing is to keep each controller with their current assigned cab.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry if this is a bit complicated. Let me know if you have any questions. I plan to be attending all analog shifts.<o:p></o:p></p>
