26.0 DB150 Option Switch Setup
The DB150 has many customizable system operation options that you can set.
The DB150’s power up defaults are fine for most applications and the DB150
will run just fine right “out of the box.” These options are provided for those
individuals who want more flexibility in setting up their operations.
The factory default setting for all DB150 option switches is “t” or thrown
except for 5, 17, 25, 33 and 34 which are closed.
Changing DB150 Option Switches
1. Consult
TABLE VIII
to determine which DB150 option switches you
want to change.
2. Move the right toggle switch on the front of the DB150 into the “OP”
position. The LocoNet Rail Sync will go inactive & all other boost-
ers, including the one that is built into the DB150 will shut down.
3. Disconnect LocoNet from the DB150 you are configuring by unplug-
ging it from the DB150’s LocoNet Jack A &/or B.
4. Connect a DT throttle directly to either DB150 LocoNet Jack A or B.
5. Press the MODE Key
on the throttle to enter Sw (Switch) mode.
Since the DB150 is set for “OP” or Option Switch setup mode,
switch commands from a DT throttle will now change the option
switch settings inside the DB150 & NOT turnouts or other acces-
sories on the layout!
6. Use the throttle knobs to dial up the option switch that you want to
change. The option switch number will appear in the left side of the
display and the right side of the display will show either “c” or “t”
to indicate the current state of the option switch.
7. To change the current state of any option switch press the L Reverse
Key
for thrown (t) or the R Reverse Key
for closed (c).
See * below for special instructions when using switches #36-#39.
8. After setting the DB150’s Op switches, move the DB150’s mode
switch to “RUN”. Remember to re-connect LocoNet by plugging it
back into Jack A or B.
