MK4 Hybrid power car

Uses similar controls to the MK4 Hybrid DE.
Designed to replace the engines of TWO Mk4 DE passenger cars
Maximum speed recorded: 211 km/h OR 131.1 mph (Operation above service speed may cause damage as shown in the first picture.)
Service speed: 150 km/h OR 93.2 mph

Multi unit remote control guide:

Remote control frequency: If one or more units share the same frequency value, they should be operated as ONE control unit and one/more controlled units.

Enable Direct passenger control: If on: headlights, heaters and passenger lights will be controlled by this unit.

Remote control: If on, this unit will be a controlled unit. That is to say that the driving controls on this unit will be operated by a control unit assuming that it shares the same remote control frequency value as a control unit.

Train number: This sets the number that can be seen above the cab and beside the passenger doors.

Locomotive facing this direction: If set to "on" in a controlled or control unit, reverser inputs will be reversed as the cab is assumed to be facing away from the other cab(s).

Remote control radio: Supplies electricity to the radio antenna to allow for multi unit operation.



Hybrid engine system:

Enable Engine A/B hybrid system: Starts the engine when the propulsion battery is below 95%.

Fuel pump: Allows fuel to be pumped into the engine.



Electric couplers:

HEP Power: Head end power, supplies electricty to train systems that are not the traction motors.

Traction motor power: Supplies electricity to the traction motors.

The four circuit breakers put together control electricity flow to/from the couplers.

Top couplers: HEP power.
Bottom couplers: Traction motor power.



Force door open: Forces the door to open irregardless of whether or not the correct number combination has been entered or not.

Lock door: Overrides "Force door open" and prevents the door from being opened.

Set door combination: Press once to enter the value in "Keypad combination set" as the new number combination. Hold for a few seconds to reset the combination to 0.

Keypad combination set: See "Set front door combination".

Cab door keypad: The value entered here must match the value as shown in "current door combination".

Current door combination: Shows the current keypad combination required to open the door.



Emergency brakes and driver vigilance system:


Emergency brake application: If activated, the throttle will be forced down to "0" and the brakes will be forced to "1".

Enable driver vigilance: Enables the driver vigilance system. To be used with "Driver vigilance timer".

Driver vigilance timer: Sets the time (in seconds) before the driver has reset the timer with "Reset driver vigilance".

Reset driver vigilance: Resets the driver vigilance timer. If the "Driver vigilance warning" indicator light is activated and the "Reset driver vigilance" button is not pressed , there will be a 10 second timer before emergency brakes are applied.

In order to ensure limited coupling compatibility with other trains, 3 coupler attachments are located in the rear compartment.

This power car produces enough power on its own, but it does not have the ability to transfer most of that power to its own bogies, which is why it can only be used with passenger cars that come with their own traction motors.

Maximum engine power output: 625.94 at 13.07 RPS and 38.23 degrees.
