fac Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Having converted most locomotives successfuly with the smaller decoder, i have now fitted one with a saphire and it would appear to current limit on movement .(lights go out flash but stay on when stationary) I have only changed the address all other cv as original. Am i missing something in saphire set up? or is it a hardware fault on the engine.(engine worked ok dc and no short showing between motor terminals and chassis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJR_slo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi facTo me that sounds more like a power pick-up issue. Lights (and sound when fitted) show up dirty track, pick-ups etc more than the motor itself, which can keep going with intermittent supply.First thing I would do is clean the wheels, wheel backs, pickups and then check the wiring from the pick-ups to the decoder (socket if fitted).

96RAF Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You seem as if you have selected the Sapphire Fuel Simulation facility.Read about it on Pages 48-50 of the Elite manual and deactivate if not required.When the fuel runs out the loco stops and flashes its lights until you press the Elite ON/OFF button which effectively refuels the loco for a set amount of fuel.
