Voltage on ZW-C handles? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

dennishOGR Forum Member

Hi All!

I'm sure this is a simple question, but a search on the forum did not lead to an answer nor did reviewing Mike Reagan's product video on the ZW-C (unless I somehow missed it).

On my ZW-C (with TMCC and Legacy), handle A always comes up with a full 18 volts as soon as the red wheel on the remote is rotated. There is no dialing up the voltage from 0. The other three handles allow me to dial up the voltage from 0 with the remote. My brother-in-law's ZW-C allows for dialing up voltage from 0 on all four outputs.

Is there a way to calibrate the ZW-C so that I can dial up voltage from 0 on output A? Mike's video shows it being done, but I did not catch how the ZW-C may be adjusted for this to happen.

If I have been unclear on my dilemma, go easy on me and I will provide a better/different explanation.

Thanks as always!

Page 10 of the manual talks about setting a stall voltage. It's possible you have the stall voltage set to 18 volts. You can reset it. I'll look for a link to the manual.

Here you go. You need the manual since programming the ZW-C is not intuitive.

A couple of things to look at in the manual link below:

https://www.lionelsupport.com/...ents/72-2982-250.pdf

Stall voltage - on page 10. It may need to be cleared.

Recalibration - on page 14.

Momentum - Also make sure that your TMCC momentum setting is the same for all 4 handles.
