12.0 Stop
12.1 Setting A Loco to Zero Speed
Turn the Throttle Knob that the loco address is selected on counterclockwise
until the speed display shows 00 and the loco stops moving. This lets you slow
down your loco and stop it prototypically.
If you have set up deceleration for the loco and you move the throttle knob to
0% speed, your loco will slow down and come to a stop at the programmed
deceleration CV value. We strongly recommend that you run your locos with
the factory default of no deceleration until you are familiar with your system.
If the deceleration CV value you set for a particular loco is very large, this can
make it look like the loco is not stopping on command because the deceleration
CV value is causing the loco to take a long time to come to a stop.
12.2 emergency Stop
DT402s have two ways of handling an emergency stop command. This is set
up in Throttle Option Set Up. When you use emergency stop, the deceleration
rate programmed into the decoder will not have an effect and the stop will be
immediate.
12.2.1 Local Stop-Factory Default
To stop only the locos in the local DT402 display.
1. Press the
eMRG STOP
key to stop the loco that is active in the DT402’s
display. To resume operation, use the throttle knob associated with that
address to increase the loco’s speed.
2. Press the
eMRG STOP
key again to stop the loco that is associated with
the other throttle on the DT402. To resume operation, each operator must
use their throttle to set their loco’s speeds back to the desired speed.
12.2.2 Global Stop-Optional Setting
1. See Customizing Your Throttle, Section 15.0 (option ES->Idle), for setting
the DT402 Options to use the
eMRG STOP
key for Emergency Stop.
2. Press the
eMRG STOP
key to stop all locos on the layout.
3. To resume operations, press the
PWR
key followed by the
Y / +
key again
and the locomotives will start running again at the same speed they were
running prior to STOP mode.
4. To exit PWR mode, press the
PWR
key or the
eXIT
key.
12.2.3 Track Power Off Stop
To stop everything on the layout.
1. Press the
PWR
key followed by the
N / -
key while the track power is on.
This will turn track power off and will cause all locos to stop.
2. Press the
PWR
key followed by
Y / +
key again and the locomotives will
start running again at the same speed they were running prior to STOP
mode. To exit
PWR
mode, press the
PWR
key or the
eXIT
Key.
