CAB SETUP
The ProCab has various internal setup parameters and operating modes. The following
steps describe the parameters you can change to customize the cab to your liking.
To access the cab set up mode:
1) Turn on the command station
2) Unplug your cab from the command station
3) Press and hold down the SELECT LOCO button while plugging in the cab. The cab
will now enter its internal setup program. At any time you may press PROG/ESC to
leave set up mode.
4) Press ENTER to accept the current cab address (unless you want to change it). To
change the cab address, type in a new address such as 3 followed by the ENTER
key. If you make a mistake just unplug the cab and re-plug it while holding down the
SELECT LOCO key.
NOTE: If you program the address to zero the cab will reprogram itself to the
original factory values, including the cab address, which will be set to 2.
5) At the “1=YARD 2=NORMAL” prompt you can press ENTER to accept the current
operating mode. To select between “normal” operation where the speed knob stops at
speed 0 when turned all the way down or “yard” mode. In yard mode as the knob is
turned down to zero it will reverse locomotive direction and start increasing speed in
reverse as the knob turning in the “down” direction is continued. Pushing the knob up
will reduce the reverse speed to zero the increase it in a forward direction. The factory
setting is 2 for “normal” Operation
6) Press ENTER to accept the existing Ballistic Tracking Rate or enter a new rate.
Entering a low number will cause speed knob to change locomotive speed more slowly
as the knob is turned, larger numbers will cause a greater change of speed as the
knob is turned. The factory setting is 3 and values from 0-7 will be accepted.
7) Press ENTER to accept the Speed Button Repeat Rate. This is the rate at which the
4 speed control buttons repeat. Smaller values will make the buttons repeat faster.
The acceptable range is 16 to 255. The factory setting is 32.
8) Press ENTER to accept the current Speaker On Time or enter a new value. Smaller
values generate a short “beep” as the speed knob is turned through zero when in
yard mode and larger numbers generate a longer beep. Values from 0-99 are
accepted. The factory value is 3. NOTE: The beep will only work if there is a speaker
installed in the ProCab.
9) Press ENTER to accept the current OPTION key value. If you wish to change it enter
a number from the Key Table Chart following this section. The factory value is 94 so
the OPTION button will act as BRAKE button.
10) Press ENTER to accept the “shifted” value for key number 1. If you wish to change it
enter a number from the Key Table Chart following this section. See the Table of
Factory Default Values for Shifted Keys on page 25 for the preset factory values.
11) Use the same procedure described in step 10 to accept or program keys number 2
through 32. Remember you can press PROG/ESC to exit at any time. If you stick it out
to key 32, press ENTER to return to normal operations mode.
