SET THE PROCAB ADDRESS -
If the Power Cab is to be used as a Pro Cab
TM
Just as every locomotive has a separate number (address in DCC terms) each cab
needs a separate address so the command station can distinguish one cab from
another. Each Power Cab
TM
is shipped from the factory with the address of 2. When
the Power Cab
TM
is used in Power Cab
TM
mode, the address is always 2 regardless of
the Pro Cab
TM
address setting. To easily change the address:
1. Power up your Power Cab
TM
system.
2. Plug in the Power Cab
TM
cable to the CAB BUS connector of the Power Cab
TM
3. Unplug your Power Cab
TM
at the base of the cab
4. Press and hold the SELECT LOCO button while re-plugging in the cable you just
removed from the cab
5. You should see the following display on the cab:
NCE PROCAB V1.3NCE PROCAB V1.3
NCE PROCAB V1.3NCE PROCAB V1.3
NCE PROCAB V1.3
CAB ADDRESS = 02CAB ADDRESS = 02
CAB ADDRESS = 02CAB ADDRESS = 02
CAB ADDRESS = 02
6. The cursor will be flashing over the 0 of “02”. Type in the new cab number. In this
case, you will press “3” (valid range = 1-63) followed by ENTER.
7. Press PROG/ESC to skip setting all the other cab setup options. They will be
discussed later on page 20 of this manual.
