The “button-procedures” for “manual operation”
Although the “StEin” is usually not controlled manually (by using the buttons on the unit),
it may be helpful in certain situations:
-
for the first time use
(the “StEin” is ready for use as it comes with a “finished con-
figuration” activated at time of delivery - see next chapter), turnouts connected to the
StEin can be tested, as well as track sections set to H - L - U - etc. while observing
the effect on locomotives, even without a cab or a computer.
- while
troubleshooting
: signals can be controlled locally to ensure that the LED’s are
wired correctly or turnouts can be observed for proper operation.
- a
short circuit
on a track section can be cancelled locally and power restored.
Pressing and holding one of the 5 buttons
on the StEin starts a procedure:
Button-
1
press/hold
P
-Procedures (track sections HLU, occupancy thresholds, module nr.)
Button-
2
press/hold
F
- Procedures (Restore after a short circuit/overcurrent)
Button-
3
press/hold
A
- Procedures (Activation of prepared configurations)
Button-
4
press/hold
L
- Procedures (Turnout switching)
Button-
5
press/hold
E
- Procedures (Single LEDs on signal PCBs)
Track sections
setup procedures:
There are a number of "operation and adjustment procedures": P1, P2, P3...
First, use button-1 to select which procedure to execute:
Start with the module in its normal operating state (Address displayed), i.e.:
Press and hold
button-1
(Button-1
P for “
P
rocedure”)
.
Hold or press button-1 several times
Once the desired procedure number is reached: Wait for 1 sec
dots disappear, i.e.:
continue with button-2 and -3
for individual control of the chosen procedure
(Meaning of buttons depends on procedure), for example:
Confirming a selection and executing a procedure or entering parameters; see below
or
button-1
abort
(i.e. after erroneous start); back to module number display, i.e.:
Timeout
if no confirmation (i.e. Procedure selected but no further button pressed): 3 sec
Timeout if no action taken (Procedure selected, track output selected, but nothing more): 10 sec
Timeout if not continued (Procedure selected, an action executed - then, for example,
a track section set to the desired HLU value, but nothing after that): 30 sec
If a procedure is aborted by a timeout, the module number is displayed again, i.e.:
The procedures in detail:
P 1
:
Confirm with
Button-2
ALL
track section outputs are set to
„

“
(

:
_
all track section HLU-LEDs turn green, after 3 sec: Display changes to
P 2
:
Confirm with
Button-2
ALL
track section outputs set to „

“
(

.
all track section HLU-LED’s turn red, after 1 sec: Display changes to
P 3
:
Confirm with
Button-2
occupancy threshold for
ALL
track section outputs are
set to
“dry”
(threshold as per configuration), after 3 sec: display changes to
P 4
:
Confirm with
Button-2
occupancy threshold for
track section outputs are
set to
“moist”
(threshold as per configuration), after 3 sec display changes to
P 5
:
Confirm with
Button-2
occupancy threshold for
track section outputs are
set to
“wet”
(threshold as per configuration), after 3 sec display changes to
P
6
:
Select a track section with
Button-2
: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
, 0, (cycl.) 1, 2… e.g.:
*)
Select the HLU state with
Button-3:
A, H, U., U, L., L, F., F, (cycl.) A, H … e.g.:
Selects the
HLU-State
for
a
SINGLE
track section.
ATTENTION -
Selecting the track section “0” (which does not exist)
can be used to exit a procedure without taking further action; this is done with button-1.
PLEASE NOTE: the difference between the HLU states “U.“ and “U“ or “L.“ and “L“:
the
“.“ (dot) means half a step lower, that is: “U.“ = “HU“, “L.“ = “UL“, “F.“ = “LF“
Confirm with
Button-1
(Won’t abort in this case)
Applies the selected HLU setting to the track section,
corresponding HLU-LED for the track section changes.
Again
Button-1
(without button-2, -3 etc. beforehand)
Ends procedure, address returns
P
7
:
Select a track section with
Button-2
: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 0, (cycl.) e.g.:
Select the occupancy threshold with
Button-3:
b, d, h, (cycl.) b, d, h… e.g.:
Selects the
Occupancy Threshold
for a
SINGLE
track section.
ATTENTION -
Selecting the track section “0” (which does not exist)
can be used to exit a procedure without taking further action; this is done with button-1.
Confirmation with
Button-1
(
Won’t abort in this case)
Applies the selected setting to the track section
corresponding occupancy-LED for the track section flashes
Again
Button-1
(without button-2, -3 etc. beforehand)
Ends procedure, address returns:
