Configuring the BPC2 for ACCESSORY Addresses
To configure your BPC2 for ACCESSORY-Address Operation:
1. Turn power to your command base and LCS system on.
2. Press and hold the BPC2 PGM button for 1 second. The red LED will begin blinking slowly.
3. On your Lionel cab remote, press ACC to choose ACCESSORY-address operation.
4. Enter the 1 or 2 digit base address/TMCC ID.
5. Press SET. The red LED will go on solid for 1 second, and then continue flashing.
6. Now, you may optionally press the Coupler "R" button. Doing so turns on the "restore last
relay settings on power-up" feature.
7 Finally, set the 8 TMCC ID sub-mode. Press AUX1, then 0. The red LED will go on solidly
for one second, then turn off. The configuration process is complete.
The other sub-mode, 1 TMCC ID addressing, is reserved for future use and will not
function with a Cab remote.
To operate your BPC2 in ACCESSORY address mode::
1. Press the ACC button on your remote
2. Enter the ID number matching the address range set in the configuration step above. Hint:
this will be equal to the TMCC ID/base address (see step 4, above) or one of the next seven
numbers.
3. Press AUX1 to turn a power block on.
4. Press AUX2 to turn a power block off.
Example: If your BPC2 has a TMCC ID/base address of 64 and you want to control the track
power block wired to the sixth screw terminal, select the ACC button, enter 6, 9 (ID 69) and
then AUX1 and AUX2 to turn that power block on and off.
Additional commands
The BPC2 will identify by holding the numeric “0” (Legacy Reset) command by turning
on the RED PDI activity LED. This identifying mode will only work when using the TMCC ID
base address.
The BPC2 will turn off all outputs if a numeric “0” (Legacy “R”) command is received.
The BPC2 will turn off all outputs if a “System Halt” command is received. Use the HALT
button only in emergency situations.
Note!
