OpSw 07 is normally Thrown (factory default). Setting OpSw 07 to Closed
resets the DS64 to its default factory settings, which is all OpSw=Thrown,
with Outputs 1-4 set to Switch Addresses 01-04 respectively. All Routes are
erased.
Option Switch 08-Startup delay and power management issues
OpSw 08 doubles the DS64’s startup delay. The startup delay tells the DS64 to
wait for a certain amount of time after the layout is powered up before
‘waking up’.
Thrown (factory default) the DS64’s startup delay is 65 milliseconds times
the Switch Address programmed for Output 1.
Closed, the startup delay becomes 130 milliseconds times the Switch
Address programmed for Output 1.
As an example, if Output 1 on your DS64 is programmed as Switch Address
41, then the startup delay for that DS64 will be 2665 milliseconds (Switch
address 41 x 65ms). Closing OpSw 08 will double this delay to 5330ms.
This feature prevents multiple DS64s on your layout from powering up at the
same instant and overwhelming your layout’s power supply. This is impor-
tant if you have multiple track powered DS64s on your layout. If you use
external power supplies with multiple DS64s, or if you are only using a sin-
gle DS64, then this feature is not needed.
Option Switch 09-Setting the Static Time Out Length
OpSw 09 sets the static timeout length when OpSw 01 is set to Closed for slow
motion turnout operation
Thrown (factory default) Outputs do not shut off
Closed Outputs shut off after 16 seconds.
This is useful for power management when you are running multiple slow
motion turnouts.
Option Switches 10 through 15-Controlling DS64’s Inputs A1-S4
Option switches 10 through 15 are used to determine how your switch outputs
behave when the eight wired inputs (A1-S4) on the DS64 decoder are used.
Option Switch 10-Computer and/or Throttle Inputs?
OpSw 10 used to set up DS64 for use with a computer.
Thrown (factory default) the DS64 accepts both throttle and computer
