Hello all I'm having engine consists occationally short out at the boundrys between my DSC100, and DB150 .They are run through a Tonys PS4, with two sections...
I have searched the archives, but without luck in finding any answers. I have two engines (with DH123's) which have standard headlight rules in effect...
I agree with those who state that the manuals are not well done. Digitrax appears to make a technically great product but appears to be weak in their...
Bill, That would not stop him. :) It would only give him him more to bitch about. I respect his knowledge, but I detest his continual dissing of Digitrax. ...
... upgrading their product, because he can't help it; he's the self- designated Digitrax-whipper, and he loves it.<< <VBG> Best regards Manfred (The whip) ......
Bob, That was the whole purpose of the "not-for-profit" Digitrax Manual group. The problem was that everybody bitched about the Digitrax manuals, but only ...
Set CV34 to 1 and CV35 to 2. Then, set CV49 to 32 dec and CV50 to 48 dec. This will give you directional but independent control of the rear and headlights. F0...
Charles First insight - don't do that. Period. If you had two 15A circuits in your house, and you wanted to run a 30 heater, I HOPE you wouldn't just tie the...
If you have both units showing on your DT throttle, just turn the knob of the engine you want to shut the lights off, and press F0. When it is time to turn the...
I just purchased a Proto 2000 UP E8/9 #925 w/Mars Light & #925B; Walthers Part # 920-31739, QSI board, and tried to reprogram the address as 925. It wouldn't...
Hi Guys, Recently my DT400 throttle has decided to stop working properly and I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. When I plug the...
Finding a publisher might be easier than you think. There are numerous small publishers out there and some online based ones. This would raise the price of...
I have a DCS100 unit, 4 DT100 throttles connected to the loconet. When I turn the trackpower off (Run/Stop Minus), the displays in every throttle slowly fades...
Charles: A big second DON'T DO THAT! You didn't say what is shorting... the PS section the the train is leaving, entering or both. Is it the same loco or does...
Wow, well put. Perhaps we should send this idea on to digitrax. A pci card for the pc would make the system a dream. As for the locobuffer, if they wanted...
Alex: No, the only thing I'll see is a stuck button where you can get the buttons in a little too far and it catches. If you suspect that the wire is bad...
why not self-publish as a downloadable pdf file? this would be easy to update with corrections and buyers could download free updates only for an appropriate...
The previous explanations will work and to answer the last bit of question. There is really no easy way of getting it to do this fully automatically. This is...
This may sound stupid but you don't have it selected on two different throttle by chance. I've seen something similar to that happen in that case. I'm...
Another solution apart from re-writing the manuals is for people to make sure that they have read the whole manual at some time and get into DCC at a slow...
Danny: It sounds as if your throttles are running from track power and not the RailSync (blue and white) wires in the Loconet cable. Are you using the...
An excellent idea. Or perhaps get away from the commercial end of things altogether and go back to the concept of peer edited material. I may just have to...
If you use Advanced Consisting (Loco Address in CV19), F0 on consisted locos can be placed under the control of the consist address or independently by loco...
4 DT400s is too much load on the Loconet when there is no other power source to the UP3/5s. I assume you have track power connected to the UP3/5s which will...
I write technical manuals for a living (among other things), and know how difficult it can be to provide a document that is "newbie- friendly" and yet provides...
To: Jessie Actually there are specific decoders (TCS) that allow you set specific CVs (CV21 and CV22) so that the specific decoder will following the...
Bob, Thank you for that bit of info. I was referring to the universal consisting that is used by default on digitrax systems. How does the TCS decoder know ...
