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 tender (See Figure 13) 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.
