Connecting Input Devices to Your DS64
You can use the 8 inputs on the DS64 to control the operation of the 4 outputs
that control your turnouts.
You will need to set the DS64’s board ID if you are planning to use the DS64’s
8 inputs with a computer, system throttle, or other ‘smart’ device on your
layout that needs to know when a turnout has been manually thrown or
closed via a particular DS64.
Keep track of the Board IDs you have programmed in the DS64s on your lay-
out and make sure each one has a unique ID.
To set the DS64 Board ID for use with inputs
1. Press and hold the STAT button on the DS64’s control panel down for
approximately 10 seconds. The STAT LED will blink at a fast rate and after
approximately 10 seconds it will change to a slow blink rate, alternating
between red and green. To enter ID set up you must release the STAT but-
ton as soon as the blink rate changes or the DS64 will time out and you’ll
have to start again.
2. Use your DCC throttle in Switch mode and select a Switch address between
01-256 and send a Closed or Thrown command. The LEDs will go off indi-
cating that the Board ID has been set. To exit this mode, you must set a
board ID.
