Engine Overload message
« on: December 27, 2016, 03:51:35 PM »
Been having an issue with my Rapido F40PH with LM-2S. Runs for a few feet that shuts down with the red indicator...engine overload message. This is regardless of running along or with rolling stock. Did a reset of the motor full load current as suggested by RE, also checked for engine binding...nothing. Going through all the wiring, still no sign of any issues. Anyone run into a similar problem?

Do you have the latest update in the LM-2S?

Also, what is the Full Motor Load Current on that locomotive?

If you have the equipment to test with, how does it run on conventional DC?
