Pressing the help button on the Drive Window will bring up the
Function Help Window. This screen displays all available function
buttons, what they do, and their status (on/off). This feature will only
display named functions for each function number if the selected
locomotive has a roster entry whose functions have been defined in
Menu > Settings > Roster Settings > Functions
.
Programmable Buttons
There are nine buttons on the LT-50 that can be assigned operations
by the user. These buttons can be customized to perform an operation
different from their default assignment. The one, two, three, and
four “dot” buttons will always identify their action with an on-screen
description. If the description is blank, no action is assigned to that
button.
You can access button configuration
options via the “Throttle Settings”
menu ( , 8, 1, 1). The programmable
buttons will adjust based on the settings
in your throttle and selected locomotive’s
roster entry (if the selected loco has a
roster entry). If you select a locomotive
without roster data, the buttons will return
to their defaults and/or will not display
function names.
The ninth programmable button is used by pressing down the knob.
Maximum Number of Locos
The nominal current limit of the LT-50 is 1.4A continuous. The LT-50
will shut off automatically once a set thermal cutout is reached, and will
automatically resume once it has cooled down. Below, we have included
a table for some examples of exaggerated load values which can help
you determine approximately how many individual locomotives you can
operate simultaneously. Note that you will likely be able to run more than
the specified Maximum. Your loads/results will vary.
