To change to an 8 address stack, change OPSW11 to closed.

instructions.

10.0 Locomotive Direction Control

Move the Direction Control Lever to #&+& or &*&' to change the

direction of the loco address running on the throttle. To determine the direction

of a loco that is not moving, simply look at the position of the lever. You can

move the lever quickly past the

& position with no adverse effects.

If you change direction while a loco is moving it will slow down to 0 speed

and then speed up to the commanded speed according to the decoder’s pro-

grammed CV values for deceleration and acceleration.

11.0 Shutting Down the System

When you are finished with your session, you should shut down the DCS51 by

turning off power to the system.

1. Bring all locomotives on the layout to a stop by setting set the Throttle

Knob for each loco to '(#$.

2. Turn track power off: Press the $#+& key, the DCS51’s TRACK STA-

TUS Light will go off. The display will briefly display “Po” followed by

two characters, the Po means power off, the two characters indicate which

software version is installed in the unit. The display will automatically

revert to showing the last loco address selected on the throttle but since

track power is now off, it will not run the layout until you turn on track

power again.

3. Unplug the PS314 power supply from the wall outlet.

When power is restored to the DCS51, it will “wake up” with all of the settings

as they were left when powered down. The power to the command station can

be left on all the time if desired.

12.0 Resuming Operation

When you are ready to run trains again:

1. Set the DCS51’s Throttle Knob to

'(#$.

2. Plug in the PS314 power supply to the wall outlet and to the DCS51.

3. Press the $#+& key to turn on track power. The TRACK STATUS Light

will light up.

4. The DCS51 display will show the last locomotive address you were running

and be ready to begin right where you left off.
