4. Programming 

 
In order to send the desired commands from the Switch-Control by a key press, the module must first be 
programmed. For this purpose, there are two different possibilities: 
 
Using the 

Simple Programming

 mode, the inputs 1&2 will be assigned to switch, and the lamp outputs 1&2 

to display, the position of the magnetic accessory at the desired address. The following inputs and outputs 
automatically receive the subsequent accessory addresses. Further settings are not necessary. 
 
With the 

LocoNet Program 

menu of the Intellibox (version 1.3 and up), the individual programming of all 

LocoNet Configuration Variables of the module is possible. All previously described operating possibilities 
can be used in optional combinations. 
 

Tip:

 Please pay attention to the Application Examples at the end of the manual. Here you will find 

clear examples for all common operating situations. 

 
 

4.1 Simple Programming 

Using this programming method, the Switch-Control can be configured for two keys and two lamps to be 
used for the switching and supervision of a magnetic accessory. The Switch-Control can control a total of 5 
accessories in this operating mode. 
 
The Simple Programming procedure is as follows: 
 

1.

 

Connect the Switch-Control to LocoNet. 

2.

 

Be sure that the Switch-Control’s transformer is turned off (or not connected). 

3.

 

Press and hold down the button connected to input 1. 

4.

 

Turn on (or connect) the Switch-Control’s transformer. 

5.

 

The lamp connected to output 1 will blink, and the button at input 1 can then be released. 

6.

 

The keypair on inputs 1 & 2 can now be assigned to a magnetic accessory address. 

7.

 

On your accessory controller, send a command to the address that you wish to program into the 
Switch-Control. (Suitable controllers include: Intellibox, IB-Control, IB-Switch, Daisy, 
TwinCenter, TwinControl, or Keyboard). 

8.

 

The lamp on output 1 will light up, and programming is now complete. 

 

 
The remaining inputs and outputs are automatically assigned to the subsequent addresses. With respect to 
the accessory switched at address “X” (for example, 10) during the programming phase, the module is 
configured as follows:
