Controlling The Locomotive With The T5000E Wireless Throttle
To control the locomotive, the throttle must be assigned to the locomotive address.
instructions are from the T5000E User Guide. Refer to that guide for more features and options
for your throttle including the meaning for the other symbols showing on the display. For now,
only the address entry procedure will be shown.
If you know your locomotive address is still 3, then you’ll find that the factory setting for a new
throttle is also 3. But for this example, let’s say you have a locomotive with factory programmed
address of 1234. If you know your locomotive to be on a different address, then use that address
instead. All of the keystrokes below are done on the throttle and all entries will be visible on the
throttle’s display.
Step 1: Push the # key. This brings up the locomotive address entry page.
If you wish to cancel, with no changes, push the * key.
Step 2: Key in the numbers of the locomotive decoder which is 1234 for
this example. Leading zeroes are not required. The display will show
each number as it is pressed, with previous numbers moving to the left.
If you make a mistake, just push the * key and start over. At any time, you
can cancel the entry by pushing the * key without making any changes.
Step 3: Push the # key again to tell the throttle to use the address showing
on the display. The speed display appears with dashes, followed by 000.
Wait until you see the zeroes before doing anything further.
Speed control is with the big knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the speed of the locomotive. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to
decrease the speed. The speed control is a continuously turning rotary
encoder. But, unlike some speed controllers, it does not use a center-off
position. Turning the speed control clockwise, increases speed until the
maximum value is reached. Turning the control counterclockwise,
decreases speed until the minimum value is reached.
Direction control is a push switch built into the speed knob. Push down on the speed knob’s top
and release it to change directions. Notice the direction arrow changes.
The right facing direction arrow does not indicate the physical direction of the locomotive’s
movement. Instead, a right facing direction arrow indicates FORWARD relative to the
locomotive’s cab. A left facing direction arrow indicates REVERSE direction, relative to the cab.
That’s all there is to it. You are now operating your locomotive with EASYDCC and a wireless
throttle. There are many more options and features for your wireless throttle and your Command
Station. See the wireless throttle user guide for details. And turn the page and start exploring the
Command Station features and capabilities in the remainder of this manual.
