7.0 Customizing DB210/DB220-Option Switch Setup
The Option Switch (OpSw) setup allows you to customize the operation of
the unit to meet your layout and operation preferences. The DB210/DB220’s
power up defaults are fine for most applications and the DB210/DB220 will
run “out of the box.”
7.1 Changing DB210/DB220 Option Switches
1. See the Option Switch Table below to decide which option switches you
want to change.
2. Move the
MODE
toggle switch on the front of the DB210/DB220 into the
“
OP”
position. The DB210/220 must be plugged into an active command
station to configure it’s OPSW. The PWR indicator will flash GREEN
alternating with the
PROG indicator flashing RED.
4. Connect your DT4xx or later throttle directly to the DB210/DB220
LocoNet A,B,or C
.
5. Press the
SWCH
key on your throttle to enter
Sw
(Switch) mode. Since
the DB210/DB220’s
MODE
toggle switch is set to “
OP
”,
switch commands
from your throttle will now control DB210/DB220 internal option switch
settings instead of the accessory decoders (usually turnouts) on the layout.
6. Key in the number of the
OpSw
. In the example above, we have keyed in
6
. As you browse through the OpSws, the right side of the text area will
show the current setting for each
OpSw
, either “
c
” or “
t
”.
7. Use the
CLOC / c
key to set the OpSw to
c
(closed) or the
OPTN / t
key to set the OpSw to
t
(thrown). In the example above we have changed
OpSw 6 from its factory setting of
t
to
c
.
8. Exit DB210/DB220 Option Switch Mode by moving the
MODE
toggle
switch on the DB210/DB220 to “
RUN
.” Remember to reconnect LocoNet
to the DB210/DB220. Track power will resume to the state it was in when
you entered Option Switch Mode.
Note: Do not adjust any Op Switches that are not listed.
Unlisted option switches are reserved and changing them may cause problems
with your system.
