Test the auto reversing section by shorting across the tracks connected to “OUTA” 
and “OUTB”.  If the Booster powering the BXPA1 shuts down during these tests 
you will need to lower the resistance of your wiring.

Setting BXPA1 Board ID

Setting up your Board ID for your BXPA1 should be carefully considered.  Each 
BXPA1 automatically assigns its Detection Section and Transponding Zone based 

off the BXPA1’s Board ID.  The BXPA1 supports board addresses 001-256.  

To set your BXPA1 Board ID:
1.  Ensure that your BXPA1 is properly connected and powered on.  
2.  Press the ID button until the ID LED and OPS LED begin alternating slowly 

flashing alternating RED and GREEN

3.  Connect a Digitrax throttle to the BXPA1 LocoNet port. (This can only be 

done with a Digitrax LocoNet throttle or equivalent software). 

4.  Go into SWITCH mode on the throttle. Select the switch number that corre-

sponds to the board address you want to set and issue a closed “c” command 
to set the board address. The board address is changed as soon as you issue 
the SWITCH command. 

5.  Once the Board ID is set the ID LED will go back to solid green.
6.  You may press the ID button a second time to exit ID mode.

Please see your specific throttle manual for details on how to issue SWITCH 

commands.
