To Recall the last 4, 8, or 16 addresses on the R Throttle
1. Press and hold the R Throttle knob. The word “Recall” will appear in
the text line.
2. When “Recall” appears in the display, release the knob. “RE” will
appear in the mode indicator in the center of the bottom line on the
LCD. The right side address display will begin to flash prompting
you to select a locomotive.
3. Turn the R throttle knob to browse through the last 4, 8, or 16
addresses selected in the system. Whether you browse 4, 8 or 16
addresses depends on how you set up your throttle’s options. As
you browse through the addresses, the throttle will display their cur-
rent speed on the bar graph and their status in the text line of the
LCD. Addresses are displayed in the order they were used by the
throttle (not in numeric order).
4. Press and release the R Throttle knob or the LOCO Key
to select
the desired loco address. Once the locomotive is selected the R
Throttle knob will be able to control the speed control and direction
of that locomotive.
Follow the same procedure to Recall a locomotive on the L Throttle by
using the L throttle knob.
6.5 Stealing: Forcing An Address Selection
If you try to select a loco address that is already selected on another throttle the
DT400 will display “Steal?=Y” in the text area. This is a safety interlock to
prevent operators from taking control of locos that are already selected on other
throttles. Occasionally it is necessary to override this interlock to gain control
of a loco that is “lost” for whatever reason. This override is called stealing &
can result in having a single loco address selected on two different throttles at
the same time.
To steal an address with the DT400:
1. Press the LOCO Key
to enter selection mode.
2. Dial up the address of the loco you want to steal and press the LOCO
Key again.
3. The DT400 will display “Steal?=Y” in the text area if the loco can be
stolen.
4. Press Y + Key
if you want to steal.
5. Press N -
(or any other key) if you do not want to steal.
Once a throttle has “stolen” a loco address, the slot following mode becomes
