6.5 MU Key
The MU Key
is used to enter consist set up mode. Once the MU Key is
pressed, you will be prompted by the throttle to use the Y+ Or N- Keys to add
locos to or remove locos from consists.
6.6 LOCO Key
The LOCO Key
, is used for selecting loco addresses on to the throttles so
that the address is controlled by the throttle. Sometimes people call this
“assigning locos to throttles.” DT100, DT200, & DT300 series throttles use
the SEL or SET/SEL Keys for this throttle task.
6.7 SWCH Key
The SWCH Key
, is used for entering switch control mode. Once this key
is pressed, you will be prompted to select a switch address and issue a thrown
or closed command. Switch control mode is used in normal operation for oper-
ating turnout machines and in set up mode for setting up option switches in the
throttle and command station.
6.8 L & R Reverse Keys
The L & R Reverse Keys change the direction of travel of the loco on the relat-
ed throttle when the throttle is in Fn (Normal Operation) Mode. The R
Reverse Key
changes direction of the address on the “R” or Right
Throttle. The L Reverse Key
changes direction of the address on the “L”
or Left Throttle.
6.9 Y + & N - Keys
The Y +
and N -
Keys are used:
to turn track power on and off,
to increase or decrease loco speed.
to link and unlink locos during MU’ing.
to accomplish tasks using system editors.
These keys can be set up to act in two different ways:
Repeating
(also called typematic) so that if you hold a key down it will
continue to increase or decrease step by step until you release the
key. This option is active when your throttle is set up for ballistic
tracking. Your DT400 was shipped from the factory with this feature
