HOW TO PROGRAM: (Perform a factory reset to clear everything if needed)
1.
Enter Secondary Programming mode:
(Skip this step if already in secondary programming mode)
* Turn the Top Speed dial fully counter-clockwise to enter programming mode
(Skip this step if already in programming mode).
The sensor LED will turn ORANGE
.
* Turn the Top Speed dial slowly clockwise until the sensor LED turns
GREEN.
This indicates
secondary programming mode. This should be about half-way.
2.
Press and hold programming button #1
until the desired number of blinks have occurred.
Each blink will set or clear a different feature. If currently ON it will turn off. If ON it will turn OFF.
When finished do
not power off without first turning the dial fully clockwise.
Programmable Modes: (Any or all of these or all can be programmed independently)
Hold button for 1 blink = Sensor Reversing Mode, ignore next sensor after reversing, ACCEL sensor
will perform an in-between station stop.
Hold button for 2 blinks = Fire YardMaster before acceleration starts.
Hold button for 3 blinks = Fire YardMaster after train has stopped. (Default ON after a factory reset)
Hold button for 4 blinks = Sensor mode only: Reverse direction before every acceleration.
Never ignore sensors.
Hold button for 5 blinks = Only fire YardMaster in forward direction. (For reversing operations with
a siding on one end)
Hold button for 6 blinks = Shut off current sensor. This could cause damage to the StationMaster
unless the transformer can provide short-circuit shutdown. This is sometimes
necessary when running with very small transformers. (1 AMP or less)
Hold button for 7 blinks = Sensor mode only: Turn on “creep stop”. The train will decelerate then
creep until reaching the STOP sensor. LEDs will flash RED/GREEN
when creeping.
When the button is released the StationMaster will echo the currently programmed features (modes)
by blinking the red/green LED 6 times.
For example
, if “Fire YardMaster after train has stopped” has
been programmed (button pressed for 3 blinks) and nothing else is programmed then the StationMaster
will blink:
blink 1 RED: Sensor Reversing mode is OFF.
blink 2 RED: Fire YardMaster before acceleration starts
blink 3 GREEN: Fire YardMaster after stopping ON
blink 4 RED: Reverse direction before every acceleration OFF
blink 5 RED: Only fire YardMaster in forward direction OFF
blink 6 RED: Disable current sensor: OFF
blink 7 RED: Creep-stop mode : OFF
Each time a feature is “programmed” that feature will toggle on or off. (Toggle means the feature will
go OFF if currently ON, or ON if currently OFF). A factory reset will clear all values and set bit 2.
To view the currently programmed operating modes quickly press and release button #1.
