Keyboard
The keyboard has 16 keys used to register and programme
locomotives or accessories, set inertia or acceleration levels,
direction settings, and for emergency stopping! The Select
allows for 59 locomotives to be registered to the unit and
40 accessories. Each locomotive can be coded with up to
99 levels of acceleration or deceleration speeds.
Locomotives have an ID number allocated to them from
1 - 59 and similarly accessories are given numbers of 60 - 99.
Rotary Control
Once the locomotive required to run has been “called up”
and the direction of travel has been decided the model is
ready to go. By turning the rotary control clockwise the
locomotive will move off with the speed being proportional
to the amount the control knob has been rotated.
If an acceleration level has been chosen then a more gradual
acceleration can be expected depending on the setting.To
slow the locomotive down, the knob is turned anti-clockwise
and similar to the acceleration programming, if a
deceleration setting has been coded into the loco the model
will gradually slow.
LCD Display
The LCD Display screen of the Select shows the number
of the locomotive or accessory which is in the process of
being selected. This number will flash until the function
button is pressed.
The number will remain on the screen until another
locomotive or accessory is chosen.The screen also displays
various other functions and operating instructions that the
Select features.
Power
The Select is powered by a 220-240V AC wall-mounted
Switch Mode transformer which supplies 1amp 15V AC
power to the track as well as power to an uncontrolled
outlet which can be used as an alternative electrical source
to provide power for point motors and accessories in the
traditional analogue manner.
A larger 4 amp transformer is available for use with the
Select unit which will provide additional power to the
tracks allowing for more locomotives to be run
simultaneously.
Assemble the track as per the instructions included with the set.
For DCC to operate at its full potential, it is important that the locomotives receive a strong and consistent
signal from the
Select.
Ensure the track and connecting fishplates are clean. It is also advisable to secure the
track using R207 Hornby Track Pins to prevent movement and loose connections. For advice about cleaning the
track and locomotive wheels, see the Troubleshooting section.
1.
Locate the terminals at the rear of the
Select
unit labelled ‘Track’.
2.
Locate the Track to the Controller Link Wire, and insert the black lead into Socket
A
and the black and
white lead into Socket
B
. (These wires must not be inserted into mains socket outlets).
3.
Locate the Power Input Track section on the track circuit.
4.
Press down on the left hand button on the Power Input Track section and insert the black and white lead of
the Link Wire into the socket and release the button.
5.
Repeat the process, inserting the black lead into the right socket of the Power Input Track.
Connecting the Digital Control Unit
1.
Locate the Power Transformer with integral cable.
2.
Locate the Power Input socket on the rear of the unit.
3.
Take the Power Supply cable and insert the plug into the Power Input socket situated at the rear of the
Select
unit.
4.
Plug the Power Transformer into the mains socket and switch on the power.
Please Note:
