0

Please Note: 

If a digital locomotive is called up for operation the analogue locomotive will continue to run at the speed
set prior to the digital locomotive being operated.

It is not possible to program into the analogue locomotive acceleration or deceleration levels.

When an analogue locomotive is placed on the track it will emit a high pitched noise when stationary,
which will become louder when running, this is normal.

Only one analogue locomotive 

 

can be run on a digital layout at anyone time.

Locomotive Function Control

If you do not intend to run any analogue locomotives on your layout it is recommended that DC 
running capability is disabled. See page 19 regarding "resetting" the 

Select

.

Turning ON/OFF F0.. (usually the locos lights.) 

1. 

2.

 

This is an example of "toggle" action switching.

Turning ON/OFF ..  Decoder Functions F0 to F28... 

The 

Select

 is capable of controlling a standard DC/analogue locomotive, i.e.. a locomotive that is not fitted with a 

DCC decoder. However, this practice is not recommended, it is better to fit decoders to all your locomotives. This 
feature is accessed by selecting address "zero" (00) on the 

Select

 controller.

Note: There is no locomotive actually programmed with "0" as an address, this is not possible. But, selecting
"0" on the 

Select

 tells the 

Select

 to control a DC (analogue) locomotive by altering the DCC signal on the track.

Make sure the desired locomotive's address is on the display.

Assuming that the lights are currently OFF. Quickly press the "Function" button. The lights will turn ON.

The display will then show for about 3 seconds the text “On” confirming the function action you have just 
carried out. The display will then revert to the locomotive address.

To turn the lights OFF again press the "FUNCTION" button again "oF" will be displayed. 

1.

 With the desired loco's address displayed “on screen.” Simply enter the function number you wish to 

   control, then press the “FUNCTION” button. The function will turn ON or OFF depending on 
   it's current state.
 

2.

 The display will then show for about 3 seconds either “

On

” or “

oF

” confirming the function action you 

    have just carried out.

The display will then revert to loco address. 

Note: When using the 

Select 

to control functions, some consideration should be given to the type of function 

being controlled. Functions, e.g. lighting,  require a simple ON/OFF toggle function. The 

Select

offers exactly 

this type of function control. However, some decoder functions may activate for a short period of time and 
then switch OFF. This may be the case with a "whistle" on a sound decoder. These types of functions 
require momentary switching where the function is turned ON and then OFF again after a short duration.

On the 

Select

 once the function key is enabled it remains “ON.” If a specific sound is designed to play once for 

a predetermined duration, the function key will need to be pressed again to return the 

Select

 to “function off” 

status before it is possible to activate the same function again.

The 

Select

 unit is capable of remotely switching on and off up to 29 functions (F0-F28) which may be 

incorporated in to some locomotives. For example the locomotive may be fitted with lights, engine running 
sounds and a horn or whistle. Using the 

Select

 each function can be switched on or off.
