The knob increases the speed by rotating it up and decreases the speed when it is
rotated down.
ProCabs have a feature called ballistic tracking. The faster you rotate the knob the faster
it will increase or decrease the speed. This rate is adjustable from 0-7. The factory
default value is 3. See the Cab Setup section later in this manual.
Note: Speed buttons are disabled if the ProCab is in Yard mode.
COMMONLY USED BUTTONS
HORN/WHISTLE
Factory default is to operate function 2 when this
button is pushed. This can be changed in the Set
Cab Params menu of the command station. Unlike
other keys which toggle functions on/off this key
blows the horn as long as the key is held down.
Pressing the 2 key will still toggle the function on or
off.
BELL
Factory default is a toggle for function “1” on or off
with each button press. This can be changed in the
Set Cab Params menu.
HEADLIGHT
Toggles the Headlight on and off. It is defined as Function 0, and pressing the 0 (zero)
key will perform the same function, but we felt the headlight warranted its own button
and a more convenient location.
OPTION
This button comes factory set to act as the BRAKE key. Pushing this button will set the
speed of the currently controlled locomotive or consist to zero. This button can be
programmed to act as any button you wish (see the CAB SETUP section on page 22,
step 9).
EMERGENCY STOP
Pressing EMERGENCY STOP once will stop the active loco/consist for this Cab only.
Speed will be immediately set to zero (no momentum). Loco is restarted by changing the
speed step or direction. Pressing EMERGENCY STOP three times in succession will
bring the
entire layout to a stop by shutting off track power. “LAYOUT STOPPED!” will be
displayed and is cleared by pressing the ENTER key. Only the Cab that executed the
Emergency Stop can clear it. Each Loco or Consist can now be restarted by sending it a
command, such as a speed increase or decrease, or by toggling a function.
RECALL
This button toggles between the last two to six locomotives or consists addressed.
RECALL allows you to keep two to six locomotives and/or consists active in the
command station memory and access them in “round-robin” fashion with each press of
the button. Think of RECALL as being a set of memory slots. To put a locomotive in a
recall “slot”, press SELECT LOCO and enter the loco or consist to be operated. To put
another locomotive in the next slot, first press RECALL to access the next slot. Now
press SELECT LOCO and enter the second loco. When additional trains are to be
added either a “slot” with “000” or an expendable loco/consist must be displayed on the
screen. Whatever is on the display will be replaced with the new loco/consist.
The number of RECALLS for each cab can be changed within the “SET CAB PARAMS”
menu (see PROG button description). The factory default value is two. You may also
“clear out” any locomotives in the recall slots using the “SET CAB PARAMS” menu. We
don’t advise using RECALL in Yard mode. Because the ‘DIRECTION’ can be fouled
inside the ProCab.
