Yard Mode
Yard Mode is a special operations mode of the UWT-100 that is suited
especially for switching movements. Yard Mode allows users to quickly
and conveniently switch between a slow forward speed, a stopped loco-
motive, and a slow backwards speed without managing individual speed
steps. Users may adjust the speed at which their locomotive travels,
select between two different speeds for each direction, and quickly stop
the locomotive when needed.
To enable or disable Yard Mode, select “Yard Mode” in the “Operations”
menu. When you are in Yard Mode, the direction indicator on the Drive
Window will show a letter “Y” instead of an arrow. To drive the locomotive
forward, press and hold the or button. Your locomotive will drive
forward as long as the button is held down. To drive in reverse, press and
hold the or button. Releasing the button will return the speed to
zero and your locomotive will come to a stop.
Latching
Users may “latch” or lock-in the current direction and speed of their loco-
motive by quickly double pressing any of the four buttons.
This can be useful if an operator needs to operate locomotive functions
or drive for a longer distance. The locomotive will maintian speed and
direction until any button is pressed again, releasing the
latch.
Speed Adjustment
Yard Mode default speeds can be changed during operation. Use the
scroll wheel while holding a chevron button or while the locomotive
is latched to increase or decrease the speed of the locomotive. Both
speeds can be adjusted independently. Your speed adjustments for Yard
Mode will be retained until the throttle is powered off.
The default speed of Yard Mode for the single chevrons is the same
as the Fast Increment speed of the throttle, and the double chevrons
default to twice that speed. This can be changed in the “Drive
Settings” menu.
