Special Reverse Unit Options

Locking Out The Reverse Unit Into One Full-Time

Direction

Your electronic reverse unit locomotive may be locked out into one of

three positions; forward, neutral or reverse. Locking the engine into

one of these three positions prevents the locomotive from cycling

through the reverse unit

phases and is useful for

operators employing block

signal operations on their

layout. Once locked into

a position, turning the

throttle off and then on

again will not allow the

engine to enter the next

reverse unit phase and

instead keeps the engine

in the current locked out

phase.

To lock out the engine into

one of the three positions, simply enter that position using the

transformer throttle or direction button. Once in the desired direction,

remove the locomotive from the track and slide the ON/OFF switch

located on the bottom of the chassis (See Figure 13) to the OFF

position. This locks the engine into the desired direction. Sliding the

switch back to the ON position resets the reverse unit into its normal

reverse unit cycling phases.
