where it is to be for smoke on the unit ( brand new out of box), I ve went to the left, and I have
gone to the right , nothing so far, or has it been long enought to heat up -> 2-3 minutes running'

Mine was new and it didn't smoke after adding oil. You have to blow down the stack to clear any air pockets. Sounds stupid but it worked.
Shut off the sound and make sure you hear the fan running. Are you running conventional or command? Turn on the smoke on the DCS controller.
The rotary knob ( in the engine for smoke control!)has a small + and - sign and I believe you should turn it clock wise.

There is a "rotary knob" on the DCS controller?
Conventional , running !!

I had to remove the body shell from an MTH SD-45 and manually fill the smoke unit and be careful not to turn it when re-installing the shell. That was to initialize the smoke unit. Hopefully you don't need to do that with the new SD-70ACe.

Then it is important to have high track voltage in order to proper heat the smoke unit element. Low voltages,i.e. 6 to 10 volts may not produce much, if any, smoke.
Terry,
Are you seeking the smoke pot? If so, try looking under the rear diaphragm or under the vent wing.
Have you looked in the instruction manual?
Thanks, this is a track that has not had a smoking loco, on it, :
and by the way it is puffing away now , looks good, but I am going
to supply additional volts.
thanks again
