Quick start tips when using a Pre-Configured QuadLN_S with no LocoNet
Things not to do when using a QuadLN_S with no Loconet
Do not install the ADDR jumper. This is only for use when setting the Loconet address and when doing
a Factory Reset.
Ok, that’s it for the bad stuff
Inputs
The inputs are configured for Momentary pushbutton switches along with LED animation during servo
movement. If not using Fascia Controllers, add a 470 ohm resistor in series with each pushbutton
switch and then connect to the Signal and Ground on the I/O pins.
Manual Alignment of Travel and Speed
The travel endpoints and speed for each servo can be set manually using the
Select
,
Up
and
Down
buttons on the Remote Alignment Board. Here is the adjustment procedure.
Connect the remote alignment board to the
QuadLN_S
.
1.
Hold the Select button down until a Servo selection LED turns on (about 1 second), indicating
that you are in Servo Selection mode and that indicated Servo is selected. (The initial Servo
selection will be the same as the one selected the last time alignment was performed.)
2.
Use the Up and Down buttons to select the desired Servo, then press the Select button briefly.
3.
The Closed LED is now flashing to indicate that the Closed Position is being adjusted. Use the
Up and Down buttons to move the Servo to the desired Closed Position. The servo position will
change very slowly at first, so hold down the Up or Down button continuously when doing rough
adjustment. When satisfied with the Closed Position, press the Select button briefly.
4.
The Thrown LED is now flashing to indicate that the Thrown Position is being adjusted. Use the
Up and Down buttons to move the Servo to the desired Thrown Position. The servo position
will change very slowly at first, so hold down the Up or Down button continuously when doing
rough adjustment. When satisfied with the Thrown Position, press the Select button briefly.
5.
The Speed LED is now flashing to indicate that the Speed is being adjusted. Use the Up and
Down buttons to change the speed. The Servo will change position to demonstrate the new
Speed. You can continue to adjust the speed while the Servo is moving if desired. When
satisfied with the Speed, press the Select button briefly.
6.
To readjust any of the parameters, press the Select button briefly to return to step 4.
To exit the Adjustment process at any point, hold the Select button until the remote align board
LEDs turn off (about 1 second). The new settings are now saved and in use.
