LGB 2017 bell and horn sound with no prompting.

(1/2) > >>

ironacres:
I have done 4 conversions with LSM-3S-G modules, all fine until this one.  Locomotive is running off 18.5 battery, all brushes and pickups removed from loco and tender.  Power leads from modual go directly to pickup shoes.  When at idle the bell and horn will sound all by themselves, this will happen every few minuets.  Is programed for light steam, looks like it is programing, do not know what I could have done wrong.  I have erased and reprogramed, still does it.  Everything else works on command, lights, horn, speed, ECT.   Suggestions.

trainman605:
I have only had my RailPro installed for three weeks, it is in a LGB diesel and have not had that happen as of yet. I will be doing a second install in two weeks on another LGB diesel.  I have two LGB Moguls ready to go for installs, but holding up on them till RailPro offers a narrow gauge steam sounds. I would probably just call your dealer, or contact Railpro with this question, I would say it's either the download which you said you reprogramed, or in the LSM-3S-G board. I would say it's probably a glitch in the LSM-3G-S board. I hope you post what you find out on this.

JRad:
That's pretty odd. I don't know how you could make that happen in programming.  I agree with Trainman that it may be a problem with the board. I would give Ring a call.

KPack:
Never had anything like this happen with the dozens of modules I've installed.  Most likely a problem with the actual module.  Probably not a hardware problem, but software.  A factory reset of the module will probably fix it.  Ring will need to do that.  They'll take care of you....problems with equipment is rare, but when it happens Ring stands by their work.

Did talk to Railpro there not sure. I am going to reprogram a working modual set up for steam the same download I did and see if it happens, that will tell me if modual or programing.  Just odd, no different than other steam programed  modual, just light steam instead of heavy steam.  Try to get a video on.
