Is there a volume control for the QSI 3000 sound board ?I picked up this system at a train show.It came with a dcru reverse unit, speaker ,and wiring.I installed a new 9 volt battery and after reading instructions turned on power.The reverse unit worked well and the sound was clear but the volume was not that loud.I don't see any volume control on the boards.

I don't have a QS-3000 manual handy, but the procedure should be the same as QS2+, which is as follows:

 

 · Find RESET Position #6

 · Press the Horn Button

The first time you press the horn button, you will hear the engine chuffing or

running at the currently selected volume setting, although your engine will not

be moving. Each time you press the horn button, you will hear one "ding" and a

change in volume. The volume will decrease by one half until you reach no

volume at the lowest setting (i.e. 100%, 50%, 25% and off). Press the horn

button once more and you will return to the highest volume setting and start the

cycle over again

 

That is a copy/paste from the QS2+ manual. Hope it helps.

 

In case you're not familiar with QSI/Protosound Reset procedures, here's that page from the manual.

 

 Step by Step Description of Moving through RESET

Features, and "Clinks" and "Clanks"

· Put your engine in RESET

Turn off the power and wait three seconds for the single "ding". Turn the power

back on. You are now in RESET.

· Push the throttle all the way up as far as it will go and back down to a

low setting, but not off

You will hear a "pssht" sound from the Air Let-off, followed by a single

"clink". You are now in RESET Position #1.

Note: If you accidentally turned the throttle down so low that the power went

off, then your engine is no longer in RESET and will go forward. Just do

another RESET and start again.

· Now push the throttle all the way up and back down, but not off

You will hear the "pssht" sound, followed by two "clinks". You are now in

RESET Position #2.

When you are using RESET Positions, the engine sounds automatically turn off

after RESET Position #1 so you can hear the "pssht" sound more easily.

· Push the throttle up and down three more times (five times total)

You will hear "pssht" followed by one "clank". A "clink" equals one up and

down movement of the throttle, and a "clank" equals five movements.

At RESET Position six you will hear another "pssht", then "clank, clink" or

five plus one to equal RESET Position #6.

Try moving the throttle up and down quickly, using the "pssht" to help you

keep count. Then stop occasionally and listen to the "clanks" and "clinks" to see

if you counted correctly.

If you wish to return to an earlier RESET Position, do a RESET and start over.
