LENZ double brake sound

[MarkAllen]

Evening

 

I’ve recently noticed that when moving off in a sound fitted locomotive, there is a double brake release when using the Lenz controller. Having wired it to use my phone and Touch cab, there is only a single release, which leads me to believe the controller is at fault. Both the loco and the system are set to 128 speed steps and adjusting this does not make a difference. All functions are turned off other than sound, so it’s not a latching function accidentally left on.

Using the phone, speed notch 1 releases brakes and begins forward motion all the way to full speed without further brake sound until stopping. On the LH90 I turned the knob slightly to release brakes, with no movement I turn slightly more, get a second brake release and forward motion.

I’ve got to email AandH later anyway regarding my buzzing TR100 but thought I’d see if anyone here had any thoughts or suggestions on why it does this and how to stop it.

 

Thanks

Does this happen on ALL sound locos or just one?

It happens on all of them.

You may find that it is an automatic file. You will find it in the random files section. I assume you have your own file to cover the demand. ESU used to have a time delay on theirs which would play if the loco was stationary for more than 10 seconds.

 

I have to advise you that my knowledge stops with V3.5 but I think the feature was much admired and has probably survived as a result.

 

You will need a Lokprogrammer to adapt any files.
