11.6 Recall a Loco
Your DT402 stores the last 4, 8, or 16 unique loco addresses used by the throt-
tle in a recall stack. Your DT402 defaults to a 4-address recall stack. See
Customizing Your Throttle Section 15.0 for information on how to change the
recall stack depth.
For example if you have your DT402 set up for an 8 deep recall stack and the
last 8 addresses you selected were: 00, 1987, 52, 0678, 03, 8819, 25, and
2500, these addresses will be in the recall stack. If you have selected any of
these addresses more than once, it will not be stored twice, only the addresses
not already stored will be added to the stack. The recall stack is not stored in
numeric order. Recall makes it convenient to select locos that you have used
previously without having to enter the address again.
To Recall the last 4, 8, or 16 addresses on the
R
Throttle
1. Press and hold the
R
Throttle
knob. The word
“Recall”
will appear in the
text line in the middle of the display.
2. When
“Recall”
appears in the display, release the knob.
“RE”
will appear in
the mode indicator in the center of the bottom line on the display. The
right side address display will begin to flash prompting you to select a
locomotive.
3. Turn the
R
Throttle
knob to browse through the last 4, 8, or 16 addresses
selected in the system. Whether you browse 4, 8 or 16 addresses depends
on how you set up your throttle’s options. As you browse through the
addresses, the throttle will display their current speed on the bar graph and
their status in the text line of the display. Addresses are displayed in the
order they were used by the throttle (not in numeric order).
4. Press and release the
R
Throttle
knob or the
LOCO
key to select the desired
loco address. Once the locomotive is selected the
R
Throttle
knob will be
able to control the speed control and direction of that locomotive.
Follow the same steps for recall on the
L
Throttle.
11.7 Stealing: Forcing An Address Selection
If you try to select a loco address that is already selected on another throttle the
DT402 will display
“Steal?=Y”
in the text area. This is a safety interlock to
prevent operators from taking control of locos that are already selected on other
throttles. Occasionally it is necessary to override this interlock to gain control
of a loco that is “lost” for whatever reason. This override is called stealing and
can result in having a single loco address selected on two different throttles at
the same time.
To steal an address with the DT402:
1. Press the
LOCO
key to enter selection mode.
2. Enter the address of the loco you want to steal and press the
LOCO
key
again.
