TCS CS-105 Quick Start Guide

DCC Address
From the CV programming menu of the TCS throttle, choose “DCC Address”
from the list of options. The throttle will guide you through the process. This
feature can be used to conveniently check or set the DCC Address of a decoder.
To use this feature, the locomotive has to be placed on the Programming Track.
The TCS throttle will rst read and display the current address(es). Select “Set
Short Address” if the desired address is between 1 and 127. Select “Set Long
Address” to set the DCC address to a 4-digit format (Valid values are between 0
and 10239; Typical values are between 100 or 128 and 9999). You can also clear
a CV19 consist address by using the “Clear Consist Address” option.
