INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for purchasing Atlas’ new plug-n-play DCC throttle!
Everything you will need to get started using the HandCommand is
included; there are no special cables to make, no searching for hard-to-
find connectors or wire crimping necessary! Enclosed are: One Atlas
Universal Panel Connector (UPC) that you can mount anywhere on the
fascia of your layout for remote use of your HandCommand (see sepa-
rate instruction sheet, included), 7' Xpress-Net cable wire which is used
to connect the UPC to the Commander or other command station you are
using, and a 6' coiled cord to connect your HandCommand to the UPC.
The enclosed Atlas HandCommand is a walk-around throttle designed to give you the
functionality of the Atlas Commander, without the ability to program decoders. You
can add up to five HandCommands to a Commander, for complete control of any size
layout. This manual will give you all the information you need to use the
HandCommand with the Atlas Commander or other DCC Command Station that is
XpressNet-compatible. Please check our web site at www.atlasrr.com for any perti-
nent updates to this or other Atlas Master DCC components.
