4.3 DT402 Series Throttle Controls At A Glance
1. The DT402 handheld has two knobs called the
L
Throttle (Left)
and the
R
Throttle (Right)
. The throttles are used for speed control, direction
changes, and input of information for operation of your railroad.
2. The row of numbers (0-12) across the top of the display are the functions
being used by the active locomotive throttle.
3
The larger numbers in the middle of the screen indicate the speed of the
locomotives being controlled by the throttles.
4. The numbers at the bottom of the display are the locomotive addresses,
and correspond to the digital decoder that is in each locomotive.
5. There are two locomotives located in the lower corners of the display, one
for the
L
Throttle
and one for the
R
Throttle
. Blinking smoke above the
locomotive indicates which throttle is currently active.
6. There are
Direction Indicators (arrow heads)
located under each locomotive
which indicate the direction of travel for each locomotive. The arrows
indicate whether the locomotive is moving forward or reverse, not the
direction of travel on the track.
7. The function numbers and text information displayed on the display screen
is for the active throttle. Keypad entries control functions for the active
throttle.
8. The current mode of operation is shown in center of the bottom line of the
display. The normal operating mode is
Fn
or Function Mode for running
trains. In this mode, the throttle knobs and direction keys control the speed
and direction of the locos. The
Y / +
and
N / -
keys can also be used to
increase or decrease speed. The numeric keypad is used for direct access
to functions.
