Decoder reset & support

13. Reset to factory default (decoder reset)

You can restore the decoder‘s factory default settings at any time.

13.1. With the programming button

• Disconnect the power supply to the SwitchPilot 3 decoder. The 

display must go out.

• Press and hold the PROG/OK button.
• Reconnect the power supply for the decoder. The decoder will be 

reset to factory default values.

• Release the PROG/OK button. The turnout numbers are now 

flashing because the SwitchPilot 3 expects to assign new turnout 

numbers (as described in chapter 6.1.).

• Confirm the turnout numbers with PROG/OK or first assign the 

new turnout numbers with (+) or (-).

13.2. With DCC systems

To do this, write the 

value 8 in CV 8

 either via POM (wiring as per 

chapter 8) or on the programming track (wiring as per chapter 9). 

The display of the SwitchPilot 3 briefly goes dark, after which the 

factory values are restored. 
Writing in CV 8 is a special case, so some command stations may 

display an error „err02” or similar. However, the SwitchPilot will 

accept the command.

13.3. With the display

The „RESET DECODER” panel on the display enables you to resto-

re the factory default values directly.

• In the “Do Reset” option, select „Yes” and confirm with 

PROG/ 

OK

. The display will flicker briefly, after which the SwitchPilot will 

be restored to have factory default values again.
