If you change the direction while the engine is still moving (speed dial not
fully ccw), the locomotive will decrease speed (brake) with the preset decel-
eration value until it comes to a full stop and then accelerate in the opposite
direction with the preset acceleration speed. For more information on acceler-
ation and deceleration speed (and programming same), see page 11.
Activating Functions
Buttons F0, F1 and F2 are used to activate functions on the selected loco-
motive, to control turnouts or other accessories via an accessory decoder. For
information on controlling your turnouts, please see page 10.
Function zero - F0 - controls the headlights and rear lights. (which lights illu-
minate depends on the direction the locomotive is travelling). Function one -
F1 - and function two - F2 - may be configured by the user. Use of F1 and
F2 depend on the capability of the decoder (additional wiring required).
Examples of additional functions that could be assigned to F1 and/or F2
would be sound (bells, horn, whistles) and/or ditch lights. You must consult
your decoder’s manual for information on its functionality.
Pressing the button once activates the function, and the second press turns it
off. All functions can be activated or de-activated independently of each other
so you may have two or three functions on at one time, if desired.
The display to the right (top) shows if a function is active or not:
