3. The LCD indicates the switch position using the c or t as follows:
“t” indicates that the switch is “thrown” (for a turnout, the diverging
route is set)
“c” indicates that the switch is “closed” (for a turnout, the mainline
route is set)
If the “t” or “c” indicator is flashing it means that the LocoNet
Command Station does not know the current switch position. A
steady “t” or “c” indicates that the command station knows the posi-
tion of the switch.
4. Use the numeric keypad to enter the switch address you want to
change
5. Once the desired switch address appears in the text area of the throttle,
you will see either “c” or “t” on the right side of the = sign in the
display. If the “c” or “t” is flashing, the command station does not
know the position for this turnout. Press the OPTN t Key
to
move the switch to the “thrown” position
OR
the CLOC c Key
to move it to the “closed” position.
6. If the switch you selected is a turnout connected to an accessory
decoder, it will change position from closed to thrown or vice-versa.
If the switch you selected is an op switch setting for your command
station, the software switch inside the command station will be
changed.
7. After commanding the switch “closed” or “thrown” the switch posi-
tion display will stop flashing, since the command station now
knows the current switch position.
