Assigning turnout numbers

6.1.1. Assigning turnout numbers

Ex works, the 4 double outputs of the SwitchPilot 3 respond to 

turnout numbers 0001 to 0004. The turnout numbers can be ea-

sily changed directly on the SwitchPilot 3.
a)  Check whether the display shows the screen saver (lettering 

„SP” and the supply voltage):

b)  In this case, press the „

PROG/OK

” button only (!) briefly. Now 

the SwitchPilot 3 should display its current turnout numbers 

directly in plain text:

c)  Press the „PROG/OK” button. The turnout numbers should 

now flash (inverse).

d)  Press the button (+) or (-) to select the desired turnout num-

bers. The currently selected turnout numbers are displayed 

flashing.

e)  Press the „PROG/OK” button again to confirm the turnout 

numbers. The indicator no longer flashes.

Finished! Without programming or cumbersome handling on the 

handheld throttle or command station.
