1.6 Best practice System Shut Down:
1. Press the DT602 PWR key and then the TRK_OFF or B-softkey. The TRACK
STATUS led should go dark when the TRK is powered OFF.
2. Move the command station’s
MODE
switch to the
SLEEP
position and wait 5
seconds.
3.
For zero power draw, turn off the power to the whole DCC layout system.
4.
Alternately power to the CS can be left on if desired. In “
sleep
” mode, this CS
consumes very little energy. In this state the CS provides keep alive power to all
throttles that are connected to LocoNet, and DT602/UT6’s can be configured to
Charge their batteries during this sleep time.
2.0 Resuming your session
When you are ready to resume your session:
1. Turn on the power to the system
2. Move the command station’s
MODE
switch to the
RUN
position.
3. If required press the DT602 PWR key at bottom left and then the TRK_ON or
A-softkey. The TRACK STATUS led will light when the TRK is powered ON. By
default the will resume in whatever state it is powered off in
2.1 Programming DCC decoders:
Figure 1 and Section 1.3 detail connecting an Isolated program track for Service mode
CV programming.
2.1.1 Service mode programming
Service mode programming broadcasts a message to all decoder equipped locos that
are on a programming track connected to PA/PB terminals. Because this is a broadcast
method and will affect all locos, you will need to set up this programming track so that
the programming instructions only go to the loco you want to program.
Your sends these broadcast commands using the
Program A(PA)
and
Program B(PB)
outputs.
Follow the steps outlined in your Throttle and decoder documentation to program your
decoder equipped locomotives.
2.1.2 Ops mode programming
Ops mode
write
CV programming is done on the layout tracks connected to any boost-
er, with programming directed to a
specific decoder address on the main layout tracks
.
Operations mode programming is used to make changes to locos while they are running
on the layout main tracks.
See your throttle manual for further instructions on Ops
mode programming.
If the has Booster Transponding mode enabled (OPSW29 =T, default) then a
compatible Transponding decoder on the track supplied by the booster RA/
RB terminals will also be able OPS Read CV’s, as well as writing values. See
section
6.0
.
