To perform a factory reset:

1. Enter Programming Mode:  (Remove any jumpers if present)

Press the ALTERNATE button  and either one of the Switch RED or Switch GREEN  buttons 
simultaneously. 
The YardMaster will display BLUE when in programming mode.

2. Press and hold the ALTERNATE pushbutton 

The 

for at least 10 seconds. 

YardMaster will slowly flash the blue sensor LED many times but keep holding down 
the button.  After a delay the blue status LED will twinkle to indicate a factory reset. 
Release the button.  

Factory Reset 

.

A factory reset will set the following:

         Turnout control for LGB style turnouts (electric switches).

          Time delay OFF

          Lap count: 1

         Signal lamp flashing enabled

         Node ID:   “1”
