Programming Forced
Alternate
The YardMaster has a “Forced Alternate” feature which allows control
of Wyes, Switchbacks, etc.
When the Forced Alternate feature is turned on the
Alternate
sensor will
switch to the direction opposite of the most recent
“Switch”
sensor, regardless
of the number of times the
Alternate
sensor is hit.
For example, when the
Switch RED
sensor is hit, the
Alternate
sensor will
always switch to GREEN, regardless of the number of times it is hit. This allows
the turnout to be set correctly for operations where the train reverses and triggers
the Alternate sensor a second time.
How to Program Forced Alternate
