The option switches and settings you can use to customize your BDL168 are
indicated in
Table 2
. These option switches on your BDL168 are set up using a
Digitrax throttle's SWITCH commands. (This can only be done with a Digitrax
LocoNet throttle or equivalent software). SWITCH mode is normally used for
operating turnouts by issuing closed ("c") or thrown ("t") commands. In the
case of your BDL168, each switch address is a BDL168 option switch.
7.1 How to read back and change BDL168 Option Switches (OpSw):
1. Power up your BDL168 and connect it to LocoNet.
2. Connect a DT or UT series Digitrax throttle to one of the the BDL168's
LocoNet connectors.
3. Press the switch behind the red option LED for about 1 second, then release
it. The red option and green ID LEDs will flash alternately to let you know
that you are in option switch setup mode.
4. Go into SWITCH mode on your throttle. Dial up the switch number that
corresponds to the OpSw you want to change and issue a closed "c" or
thrown "t" command to set the OpSw to the desired setting. The OpSw is
changed as soon as you issue the SWITCH command. See below for
instructions for specific Digitrax throttles.
5. When BDL168 OpSws are set up as desired, press the switch behind the red
option LED for about 1 second and release it, the BDL168 will exit option
switch set up mode. You can also exit option switch set up mode by turning
off the power to the BDL168 and then turning it back on.
DT100, DT200 or DT300 series throttle
, press
MODE/DISP
key on the throttle
to enter
SWITCH
mode. Use the throttle to read back each OpSw in
Table 2
by
dialing it up on the throttle and looking at its setting (
“c”
or
“t”
) in the display. If
you need to make a change to the OpSw simply press the
c
or
t
key to make the
change you want. Once you are finished reading back and changing settings,
simply wait 6 seconds for the throttle to time out and return to
“LOCO”
mode.
Be sure to complete step 5 above when finished setting OpSws.
UT series throttle
, press the
RUN/STOP
and
DISP/OPSW
keys at the same
time to enter SWITCH mode. With a UT throttle, you won't be able to read back
the BDL168 OpSw settings but you can change them by dialing up the OpSw
number you want to modify and pressing the
c
key. When the LED under the
c
key is on, the OpSw is set to closed; when it is off, the OpSw is set to thrown
(the factory setting). When you are finished setting up BDL168 OpSws, return
to LOCO mode by pressing
RUN/STOP
and
DISP/OPSW
keys at the same time.
Be sure to complete step 5 above when finished setting OpSws.
DT400 series throttle
, press
SWCH
key to enter into the switch mode. Use the
keyboard to enter the OpSw number and view the current setting for the OpSw
you want to change (
“t”
or
“c”
in the display). Press the
t
or
c
key to change the
setting. To return to
“LOCO”
mode press the
EXIT
key.
