9.0 Locomotive Direction Control
Double click the Throttle Knob to reverse the direction of a locomotive
running on that throttle:
1. Double click the Throttle knob that is controlling the locomotive.
Press down on the knob quickly two times (2 distinct key presses
within 1/2 second).
2. The locomotive selected on that throttle will change direction.
3. Repeat the process to reverse again, etc.
4. Double clicking the R Throttle knob will reverse only the locomotive
running on that throttle. Double click the L Throttle knob to reverse
in the same way.
Use the L or R Reverse Keys to reverse direction:
Press the L
& R
Reverse Keys to reverse the direction of the locos
selected on the respective throttles.
The R Direction Indicator under the R Loco Icon
in the LCD will indicate
the direction of the loco.
If you change direction while a loco is moving it will slow down to 0 speed
and then speed up to the commanded speed according to the decoder’s pro-
grammed CV values for deceleration and acceleration.
You can set up (program) each decoder with acceleration and deceleration rates
that simulate the scale effects of braking the train. Then when you command
an instant reverse, the system will simulate braking by slowing down the loco-
motive at the programmed deceleration rate, come to a stop & then accelerate
at the programmed acceleration rate in the opposite direction.
10.0 Controlling Functions
10.1 Controlling F0-F12
To enter Fn (function) mode:
1. Determine which throttle you want to control functions on and make
it the active throttle by single clicking the throttle knob or by turning
the throttle knob a couple of clicks.
2. DT400’s numeric keypad is always active in function mode during
normal loco operations. When the mode indicator on your DT400
shows Fn, simply press any number on the keypad to activate or
deactivate any function. The functions that are currently on for the
active loco will be displayed on the top line of the LCD.
