4. Use a short piece of shrink wrap tubing to attach the LED to the cut end of

the light pipe. Slide one end over the LED and the other end onto the light
pipe to hold the two parts together. (

Figure 7

)

5. Program CV51 to a CV value of 107/x6B and CV52 to a CV value of

106/x6A to turn ditch lights on while running forward and F0 is on. When
F2 is on, ditch lights will flash alternately to simulate operation at grade
crossing. F2 is a momentary function on Digitrax throttles so that as long as
the key is held down, the function operates & when released, it goes off.
This simulates blowing the horn at a grade crossing causing ditch lights to
be activated.

6. Program CV62 to a value of 196/xC4 to set the ditch light rate. Program

CV63 to a value of 064/x40 to set a realistic ditch light hold over time after
the release of F2 function key.

Digitrax Transponding

is controlled by CV61. The initial factory set value is

000/x00 (OFF). To turn on transponding, program CV61 to a value of 002/x02.
This allows you to use Digitrax transponding to keep track of your rolling
stock. When transponding is enabled, the front light of the locomotive will
flicker slightly to indicate that a transponding signal is being communicated.

lets you restore all CV values to their initial factory settings. To

reset all CV values, program CV08 to a value of 008/x08. To reset all CV val-
ues EXCEPT for the values entered in your 28 speed step tables, program
CV08 to a value of 009/x09.
