4. Operating accessories
Switches, signals and other items which carry out a function via an electromagnet or
solenoid are known as electromagnetic components or accessories for short.
Before an accessory address (using the red/green pairs of keys) can be entered the elec-
tromagnetic component key must first be pressed. Afterwards the desired accessory
address can be entered using the numeric keys 0 to 9. The first address is always alloca-
ted to the outer left red/green pair of keys.
The input is completed by pressing any other key with the exception of the channel
selection keys A, B, C and D. For example, the input can be completed by pressing a red
or green key or a key for controlling the loco.
If on the other hand after entering the numbers the electromagnetic component key is
pressed, then the selection mode is broken off without carrying out the command.
The selection mode is also terminated if no input is made within 10 seconds of the last
entry.
The address used for accessories consists of the last (up to 3) digits entered provided
this address is between 1 and 256. This means you can enter 8 digits if you like but the
PIKO Digi remote control only retains the last three. If an invalid address is entered con-
trol remains with the previously selected magnetic component.
Once the accessory addresses have been selected the components can be switched to
round (red) or straight (green) using the red and green keys.
The selected accessory address is always allocated to the outer left pair of keys. From
here, towards the right, the remaining pairs of keys switch the accessories with the fol-
lowing higher addresses.
