Using the LT-50
Power On/Off
Plug the LT-50 into the LT-50 jack on the LT Panel to power up the
throttle into command station mode. If you would like to use the LT-50 as
a normal LCC throttle, connect it into any other LCC port. Once powered
up, the throttle will display the main Drive Window - your dashboard for
locomotive operations.
In order to completely power down the LT-50, you must unplug it from the
fascia panel board, or unplug the power supply.
Track power can be managed using the E-STOP button as described in
the
Emergency Stop
section of this manual, or can be controlled via the
menu. To view the current track power status, or to turn the track power
on or off, navigate to
Menu > Settings > Track Power
Menu Navigation
The menu button will open the LT-50 main menu. There are func
-
tions and options in the menu that can customize your user experience
and are helpful for throttle operations.
Navigating the main menu can be performed in a variety of ways. Using
the thumb switches or the knob (encoder version only) will navigate up or
down through menu items one at a time. The current menu item will be
highlighted.
Each menu option corresponds to a numeric keypad button. Pressing the
corresponding button will immediately select that numbered menu option,
even if that menu option is not visible on screen. If you choose to scroll
for a menu option, press the Enter , the Select button or push
either thumb switch inward. If you would like to know what a menu option
does, press to consult the help text.
When you are in a submenu, you can press the menu button to
navigate back up to the previous menu.
The “Help” Button
The LT-50 menu structure contains on-screen information that explains
most menu options and operations. To access these tips, you may press
the button at any time to access the help text for the currently high-
lighted menu option.
A scroll bar will appear on the right side of the screen if more text is
available. Scroll up or down to see additional text by using the knob or
either thumb switch.
