Locking Out The Reverse Unit Into A Single Direction
Your locomotive’s electronic reverse unit may be locked out into one of three
positions; forward, neutral or reverse. Locking the engine into one of these three
positions prevents the locomotive from cycling through the reverse unit phases
and is useful for operators employing block signal operations on their layout.
Once locked into a position, turning the throttle OFF and then ON again will not
allow the engine to enter the next reverse unit phase and instead keeps the engine
in the current locked direction.
To lock the engine into one of the three positions, simply enter that position using
the transformer throttle or direction button. Once in the desired
direction,
remove the locomotive from the track and slide the ON/OFF switch located on the
bottom of the
engine (See Figure 1) to the OFF position. This locks the engine
into the desired direction. Sliding the switch back to the ON position resets the
reverse unit into its normal cycling phases.
