With only the Track connected, with the
Select
powered off, remove all locos and power up the
Select
, if the
Select
starts up normally, the short is being caused by a loco. You will need to go through a process of
elimination to work out which one.
If the “overload short” persist with no locos on the track, then the issue maybe a track short. Examine the
track for any debris that may be causing the problem. If the “short” is not obvious, again you will have to apply a
process of elimination to pinpoint the cause/location of the overload.
The Select display is dim or looks wrong?
See the section below re "Overloads"
The Select is dead?
Is it on?
The Select is "dead" when disconnected from my layout.
Contact Customer Care to organise a repair.
Why does my loco move when the control is set to zero?
Sometime when a loco is placed on the main track it starts to move without touching the controller’s throttle.
A previously accessed address has had the throttle set to “go.” i.e. “Speed greater than zero” Try going through
the loco addresses in the controllers memory and setting each to zero throttle.. this may resolve the problem.
Remember you can quickly cycle through all loco addresses in the
Selects
memory by repeatedly pressing the
"SELECT" button.
My DC analogue loco runs in the wrong direction?
Reverse the track connections. This will not change the direction of running of locomotives fitted with DCC
decoders.
