1.  Make sure all three sensor inputs are open.  (Red LED is off)

2.  If the top speed dial is not already at zero, then turn the top speed dial to zero.
 (fully counter-clockwise.)  The sensor LED will turn ORANGE.

3. Press and hold programming button #2..

4. Watch the status led. Each GREEN flash will accelerate slower.

The fastest acceleration will be with one blink

.

Release the button

 

when the desired number of blinks have occurred. 

A typical number is 5. Repeat this procedure if you want a different value.

  

 

 

One blink corresponds to a 3 second acceleration time. Each additional blink adds 
1 second.  For example, a blink count of 5 would result in a deceleration rate of
8 seconds.  A factory default will set to 5.

When finished with all programming, increase the top speed dial clockwise 
to MAX and then down to a desired top speed.  All programming values are stored 
in flash memory and are retained until re-programmed.

A Note on Realistic Accelerations:

* For blinks 1 thru 9 the train will accelerate linearly with the programmed value. 
This may be required for some block control operations where a second train is 
approaching and the first train needs to quickly accelerate to get out of the way, or for 
a trolley which accelerates quickly.

* For blinks 10 and above the train will creep very slowly out of the station 
and then continue accelerating as it continues down the main line.  
This provides a very realistic operation as a train creeps out of a siding or station 
and shows off sound systems with incredible realism.

* 10 blinks will creep for 5 seconds.
* 11 blinks will creep for 10 seconds.
* 12 blinks and up will creep for 15 seconds.
