5.6 Controlling Lights & Functions

The UT1 has 3 function buttons. Each of these buttons controls 2 func-

tions. F0 thru F2 are controlled by just pressing the appropriate but-

ton. The function will toggle on and off each time a button is

pressed. F2 will only stay on as long as the button is held down, this

lets you control whistles and horns when using sound equipped loco-

motives.

To access F3 thru F5 press the "SHIFT" button at the same time as the

function buttons. F3 thru F5 will toggle on and off each time a but-

ton is pressed.

Note that for proper light operation, you must be sure that the

decoder's speed steps match the speed steps sent by the

Command Station. If you are using a Digitrax or other

Advanced capability decoder, we recommend it be programmed

to the 128 speed step (default) mode or 28 step mode.

5.6.1 Controlling Functions on Consisted Locos

All locomotives in a "BASIC" consist (all locos the same address) will

respond to any function commands issued. F0 will turn the head-

lights of all the locomotives in the consist on and off. The other

functions will work the same way.

If the UT1 is controlling a consist that was made up using UniVersal

consisting with a DT100 and then "Dispatched " to the UT1, each

locomotive in the consist can have its headlight and functions con-

trolled independently as long as the consisted locomotives are using

2 digit addressing.

Select the 2 digit address of the locomotive in the consist using the

address selectors. Press "ACQ/DISP", the "STATUS" light will blink

green if a consisted locomotive, other than the TOP or controlling

locomotive address, is selected. Press the appropriate function button

to control the desired function in the consisted locomotive.

Note: The throttle and direction controls will not work while the

"STATUS" LED is blinking green. To regain control of the con-

sist, return the address selectors to the TOP or controlling loco-

motive address and press "ACQ/DISP", The "STATUS" LED

will turn to a steady green, speed and direction control will

return for the consist.

6.0 Troubleshooting

6.1 Clean Track

The majority of intermittent operation faults can be traced to bad connec-

tions and poor or noisy wheel pickups on locomotives. Check track

cleanliness and quality of wheel pickups. The DCC digital packet

communication strategy performs exceptionally well in a less than

perfect environment, and will often mask bad connections until they

are really impossible to work with!

6.2 UT1 Won't power up when plugged in (LEDs Flicker)

Voltage on LocoNet is dropping below 6.8V DC as the UT1 powers up.

If you are using UP5 Universal Panels to extend the LocoNet net-

work, hook up the battery saver option using an external 12V DC

power supply.

6.3 Decoder Won't Respond

If you cannot figure out what a locomotive is doing or "who" it is by

address, do not panic! Just reprogram the locomotive. If the decoder

is damaged, all is not lost, it can be repaired. See the Warranty sec-

tion for details.

6.4 Emergency Stop

If the layout starts to "get away" on you, either PRESS "RUN/STOP" or,

turn the track power to "SLEEP" on the command station. Either

way will give you a chance to regain your composure, and you will

be able to rejoin the contest.

6.5 Mechanical Drive Train Problems

Pay attention to the mechanical drive train and free movement of the

locomotive wheel sets. This is especially important with inexpensive

locomotives. Using Digitrax decoders with appropriate programming

settings, you can achieve surprisingly good quality motion, if you

carefully adjust the mechanisms for smooth running.
